IMO There's no right for Blackbeard while his ability is to at some level negate upper body shots. Anything over useless will immediately move into "too strong". I think they made a big mistake putting him into the game, realised it, but don't know how to un-make him in a way that won't piss everyone off.

I think that he's in a good place right now - his shield allows him to win one peek contest before getting destroyed (and usually gets destroyed in the process), the movespeed penalty makes him vulnerable to roamers. His guns have nice damage so even if he can't use his gadget he can lay some damage (a lot more then I can say about other ops). A lot of good stuff for an attacker, and it's not like he's protected from explosions in any capacity, which the defenders get in bulk.

Maybe if he had a turnspeed penalty when his shield is up, but that's really the only thing that I can think of. Of course that there are places where Blackbeard is the best thing ever like Train Room on Cafe Dostoyevsky, cause you can peek through the window almost for free. But that's just cause some operators are good at some spots of the maps and others are good somewhere else. Attack any basement with him and boy does the guy have a hard time just walking through a doorway.

Do we know which of these is the attacker an defender? They look cool

Fiesta would be pretty stupid on attack, and in his trailer Jackal enters the building from outside, so I guess she's a defender and he's an attacker that counters roamers.

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.

The recoil on his guns are so harsh they don't actually do any damage past the first shot.

I don't know if it's still like this but the scar was noticeably more accurate with the shield on and the sr25 was the opposite.

That sounds right.

I was being hyperbolic but my experience the scar stops being effective at like 20 feet because you'll shoot over them. I'm getting better with it and do own people at shotgun range.

When you want to not be a huge fat slow piece of garbage.

Does he get speed 1 with the shield on or is he even slower?

Probably slower. It's pretty dumb. But I think his slow rear end ads movement is also proportionally quiet so I've counter ambushed roamers before.

I believe he's actually slower.

Taking nerfed blackbeard is still viable as you'll post likely win most/all peek fights.

Yes he's a slow piece of poo poo with a shield that dies very fast, but you're also likely a piece of poo poo for taking him in the first place. (I'm looking at you Duggler and myself.)

I miss having a guaranteed win character for those overtime attacks :( I never took BB unless it was the most scummy of circumstances.

Ash is basically as good tho because she has the same bullet invulnerability

Randomly exploding and silent C4 would be amazing, can I put in a sepcial bug request?

Bonus points if it randomly explodes in operator pockets as well
