Headshots are incredibly important and it gets really hectic really fast. Doc's P90 is nuts. I haven't come in anything but first the few rounds I tried, and picked exclusively operators with 50 round magazines. They're better than LMG's because better recoil, they have much faster reloads, and shotguns because they don't kill fast enough The pump shotguns are fun but reloading is an issue, and the Russian auto shotgun can't reliably kill a single zomboid in one shot at 3 feet Pick any gun it will still be a fun time, especially when arms start coming out of walls, zombie kool-aid men walk through walls into the room, and you're friend shoots the explosive grunt while it's near the Jager, killing him What a boner killer that it's only a month

I never had to wait more than a 1.5 minutes ever in this game. If timer is going above 3 minutes and still no match just restart because it's bugged.

Head shots have always mattered against the NPC's and even players in this game  It the lag/detection that'll get yeah sometimes )Nothing beats watching a new recruit fortifies the walls between bombs, or run a Fuse with hostage. I remember talk about them removing FF in QP, did they do that? It was how we use to punish new players who fortified wrong, by jst shooting them in the head for the hassle they caused.

WaffleLove posted:It's only a month? Outbreak is only available for a month so they can have a fake scarcity on their Outbreak loot crates. Stupid Headshots have always mattered, but the normal zombie enemies you face aren't like online opponents or t-hunt mooks, in that they don't go down in 3 body shots. If you don't aim for the head of the zombie, you could potentially be wasting time because they come fast. They take like 7-10 rounds before dying from just body shots. FF is on 100% of the time in casual and ranked nothing has changed If a complete noob puts a barricade up on the wall between bombs I just use it as a teaching moment instead of just being toxic but whatever, it's just a game

Example, 4 match's with the same person and every time they do it, and you explain why, the team explains why, they still do it. Kinda like the Fuze. he fine to pick, but lol if you keep clustering the hostage room cause you think it funny. just faster to headshot them at spawn. I know it QP, but dick around in different manner

Last time I fully gave any time to this game was when they released Hibana and Echo.I miss the trippy effect Echos droid had on you

So, are there any impressions of the two new ops around yet, particularly their guns? I've got a pile of Renown burning a hole in my pocket and I've been thinking about getting a new attacker. Finka in particular looked kinda fun to me, so now I'm wondering whether to wait until they drop or just go with like Jackal or Zofia instead.

I like playing as him because he is mostly a slight annoyance but occasionally if a teammate gets the right spawn peak or early kill he can totally gently caress up an attacker teams plan.

same weapons as pulse. ability is easily countered by experienced players and a seen as a mild hurdle at high rank ability owns at low level with good map knowledge and game sense. but to get the most out of his ability you have to be good at tearing them down and relocating them on the fly without getting yourself killed and sometimes while actively in a shootout or engaging someone hunting you when most people think of castle they imagine a bad player locked out of the objective in the last seconds which is cool. bad players imagine themselves being castled in as if they can't just tear down the wall in 2 seconds (which refunds him btw) good players know that castle can specialize in specifically loving up roaming rotations until the last moments where he can lock down the obj if the opportunity arises then use his impact grenades to surprise attack anyone defusing or whatever The Duggler posted:Pulse? Smh it pales so much comparison that i forgot tbh i dont think of pulse much at all except when i'm crafting my most creepy operators tier list. he's one of my least played operators next to mute, not because he's bad, but because the ability just isn't nearly as fun to use as it is effective

As noted before, it's a mild nuisance most of the time, but if you don't mind taking risks you can do things like holding most of your barricades until the last minute of the match to bog them down, even better if they're short the breachers. Usually better to go Pulse if you want an FBI guy to burn down a house though. Also a boon to any enemy Fuze if you don't know where you're putting them and why.

I have a theory that a lot of the castle hate comes from the early days of the game where people had no idea where to place barricades. Honestly people do dumb poo poo with all the operators, not just castle.

Castle and Mute are good together but without those jammers Castle really loses quite a bit of usefulness. He needs to be able to carry more panels at this point though, there are so many operators now capable of getting through his panels that he's a way weaker choice than he was in the beginning of the games timeline.

Hah, fair call on that one!  I was at work when I posted that, so I couldn't take too good a look at it, prior to posting. I was actually thinking of this image of an armoured Soviet soldier holding a PPSh-41, but couldn't find it at the time.EDIT: Tumble posted:Castle and Mute are good together but without those jammers Castle really loses quite a bit of usefulness. Yeah, he definitely needs more panels at this point - preferably ones that take two hits from Sledge's sledgehammer before breaking, too. I'd also like it if you could hook up Bandit's batteries to the panels too, but oh well. EDIT EDIT: \/\/\/ That's a good idea Major Isoor fucked around with this message at 00:33 on Feb 23, 2018 |

Keep the panel amount but make it so he can replace any broken ones. That way you have to breach or he can just barricade that entryway again when it's safe. God knows that practically every attacker has enough methods to punch through them as is, including literally punching through them. Ed: Oh or make them Bandit compatible so you can't breach with anything but projectiles SpazmasterX fucked around with this message at 00:34 on Feb 23, 2018 |

more panels would be cool. as of now all they really do is tax the attackers of their explosives in a situation where they're used to dealing with him. since he is already great for disrupting improvised rotations, an interesting buff would be to let him use his ability on hatches that have been opened. this would allow him to seal/unseal blown hatches throughout the round. it will naturally counter the eventual and inevitable op that has spring loaded mario boots to jump up hatch holes also sledge should totally lose a ton of sledgehammer ammo when countering castle because otherwise its practically impossible to run out of stamina. it'd also be cool if it went both ways and took 2 sledge hits with the first 1 making a huge hole like glaz's gun used to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgp2gBVaIU8&t=22s

Castle is the king of shooting off people's ankles when they try to breach His walls are either useless or completely stop an unprepared enemy (rare). Lately when using him I have been just saving 1-2 walls and putting them up near the end. Seems to work well enough, his barricades also stop bullets when going up so you can put them up with enemies lurking

I like Castle and Castle strat rounds are the absolute best. He's very objective situational though. I also can't hit poo poo with his UMP half the time and the shotgun is one of the worst. He's still the coolest op. I've said it before and I still think it's valid: give him an extra panel and have the panels completely seal the doorway. He's really fun to play on plane: https://streamable.com/o6zm9
