I'd trade it all for just a little more.

Has the PS4 userbase fallen through the floor? Last 2 nights our squad got matched up against the same team 3 games in a row, with no request to rematch. Are there just that few diamonds?

Oh I wouldn't be subtle, I'd never be diamond on my own, I'm consistently the lowest scoring in my squad and I'm trash in clutch situations.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Did a few of these with my group. It's great when you can convince the pubbies to play nice. Then you get a diamond who refuses and says you should get them for real.

And the knife net code is all kinds of hosed. Distances seem random at times.

Does this apply to glaz too?

And do frags and c4 count as gadgets.

Admiral Joeslop

C4 does, frags do not I don't think, probably not for Glaz but I don't know for sure either.

Tachanka doesn't count either.

I assumed tachanka's machine gun did count, and everything else referred to as a gadget. Which would have meant Glaz rifle but only with the scope up. Basically everything the game calls a gadget

No, straight up kill them with the pistol, counts as a gadget kill.

Holy poo poo the amount of ''knife-fight'' requests is annoying.

One player in particular was really hellbent on doing it:
~ This is Casual go play ranked we're trying to do challenges here.
~ This challenge is too hard by itself.
~ loving tryhards playing the game.

You might have to be in silent step mode.

Also Chanka's turret kills does not count as gadget kills. I tried :saddowns:

Yeah, gadget kills is hard enough as it is, 30 is basically 2/3 weeks worth unless you're constantly nading/c4ing. Plus, new shields that shrug off C4.

Also destroying a window that fuze was in the process of putting a charge on breaks your game; you can't move and the charge floats midair in a nonexistent window.

Isn't it gadgets and melee kills still? Just knife people after you down them.

I like that it's a bit harder and forces you to actually plan for it a bit, most of the challenges you just end up getting passively.

The dumb thing is that on average, people are going to get 1 knife kill a round at most vs. a higher number of kills if they just use their gadgets in normal play

1 knife kill a round? If we're not counting finishing people off or shields, I probably have less than 10 legit knife kills in like 300 hours of play.

Yeah, same here - if I exclude shield operators and Caveira, I may have have done a dozen knife kills since Siege beta. Though I should note that my playstyle is very counterproductive to knifing or shotgunning people.

It's a great game but it's not like Hard pockets the proceeds of the shop sales. Showing that the game can be profitable and is worth continuing to make content for is not the same as lining the pockets of Ubisoft CEOs by buying overpriced gimmicky skins.

I might consider an Elite Fuze skin, but that's about as far as I am willing to go with cash-exclusive vanity items in any game, since I've played both CS:GO and Dota 2.
