It seems a little shiny in game. Not as much as the Crossfader.

If Obsidian used the black skins grips and had a subtler effect it could be amazing.

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.

Really? Why is that?

Actually the opposite. It is much more stable than the AK. But half of the is its slow fire rate.

Yes. Hibana charges wouldn't go off as well. The two left side went off, I placed six new ones to the right, all 10 lit up, and only the six new ones actually exploded.

I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?

This game does a real good job of making the LMGs feel like LMGs, and not just slightly different rifles. Make sure to take advantage of that. If you think someone is coming your way, start shooting. Don't stop. Maybe stop for a little bit to make them think you are reloading, and then start again. I don't know man, you've got a fuckton of bullets and lots of recoil control. Share the love.

My only recommendation is that you use it for skins that you can't buy with renown.

Outside of that, buy whatever ugly rear end skin you want.

Buck is cool because he has a weak, wall-destroying shotgun as well as his normal rifle.
Since headshots are where it's at kill-wise, and GEO has shotguns as a secondary, how is Buck not poo poo now?


e: This was terribly phrased, but how is Buck's ability viable when "also a shotgun" isn't a unique trait anymore?

the secondary shotguns are not great for blasting through poo poo, whereas bucks is tailor-made for the task. also buck has a dmr and frags.

Buck's ability and value has never been "also a shotgun", but has been that he is essentially "sledge breaching at range", and is in many ways superior now that it can consistently make big holes. (This was not the case for the longest time, also buck can't do anything to castle barricades, which is fine.)


GEO has what seem now to be the shittiest shotguns, in terms of viability as an instrument of murder, which are just as bad, if not worse, than the other non-masterkey shotguns for breaching walls.

The primary shotgun for GEO needs a little buff, but it's far from bad.

It's like 90% of the supernova, which is the shotgun all shotguns should aspire to be.

Just buff the super90 back to sniper level so I can enjoy the game again

Are there any good writeups of Jaegers ADS mechanics? I feel like they consistently don't work or don't work as well as they should. Even when I place them in a location with great line of sight they consistently kill a few or none of the inevitable fine charges.

Like there have been times I'm standing right next to one and watch a fuse puck blast me. It would be cool if they worked better because being killed by fuse is really annoying and it would be cool to have a reliable counter.

At one point you used to be able to create a standing height hole with one swing; once the bullet penetration/destruction change came out that vanished.

I'd have to look through old footage but what you would do is stand next to the wall, and swing down so that it would create a 6 foot hold you could just walk through without having to vault.

Jager ADS only kills two pucks, you'd have to double up to even survive one Fuze charge.

If they TK the same person in the game twice, or maybe three times, the get kicked. If they TK and kill the hostage, they get kicked.

I'm not an expert.

Yeah it's twice, and includes hostages and team mates in that - so it can be two hostage kills, as well. Although if the TKer is in a group, they can easily spread the TKs amongst themselves, without any real repercussions :v:
(at this stage it seems, anyway. Hopefully the reporting suggestions mentioned earlier are implemented)
