It’s not that rare. I catch people by their lasers at least once a week or so, I feel like. They’re definitely worth it if you’re playing aggressively though.

The problem with giving advice in this game is that we are all on different skill levels. What may work for a newer player could just get you insta-killed in gold+. Theres literally no risk to running with a laser for a while and seeing if it works for you. I only use lasers with the CQB shotgun (as it gives it a tighter spread and makes it a medium range killing machine) and the shield pistols. I sometimes use it on Buck as it affects his skeleton key, again with a tighter spread. The trade-off is that it makes much smaller holes and changes the distance at which walls come apart nicely. Ela with the Scorpion is also a good weapon for the laser, since you get a really accurate hipfire with it

the most consistent thing i've noticed from copper to gold is that players are generally unaware of how much the sound they make impacts their game in regards to laser sights, if you are close enough for this to matter chances are any little movement you make is going to be what gives your position away moreso than seeing a red dot on the wall and using that same level of map knowledge/game sense to deduce where you might be hiding e: also at higher tiers you're going to be seeing a lot more communication and coordination with cameras to the point that additional info from operators like lion or cav can completely change the outcome of a round in a split second. laser sights should be the last of anyone's worries at any rank and i think that ever since attachments were given out for free most people just put them on everything more often than not Thief fucked around with this message at 16:28 on May 6, 2018 |

Speaking of which, it's insane how much noise people make during 1v1's. Almost every time there's 1v1 overtime during a Secure Area match, the other guy is always changing stances, shuffling around, picking his nose, or whatever the gently caress else, letting me know exactly where they are so all I have to do is stay still and hold an angle towards them.

It's not going to be the main thing, but it's yet another thing that adds up for in most circumstances an extremely marginal benefit. I have definitely killed a lot of people that I wouldn't have otherwise killed simply because I saw their red dot. Back in the day when it glared out as a bright red light from your gun too it was even worse, but it can still easily reveal your location if you're not being extremely careful. Personally I bring it on every pistol, shotgun, and most attackers, but in defense there's too many times I'd rather be able to freely hold an angle waiting for someone and actually get to look through the doorway at where their head will be rather than having to hold my gun slightly to the side so the dot sits on the doorframe rather than shining through onto the wall they'll be walking right past.

(i.e. my laser is holding an angle on a window that someone is going to peek from, but they are observant and can tell that the angle means i'm on the ground in a particular spot. they're a pre-nerf 3-speed or coordinate with a friend and i get shot from an angle i'm not prepared for, usually a window on a different floor.)

Wait do laser actually mechanically change spread beyond just giving you a tiny red dot that sorta tells you where your shots go?

Jack Trades posted:Yes, for all weapons too but only the hip fire spread. Well poo poo I had no idea. I have them on basically none of the guns because I was unaware of the mechanical benefit and I feel like I notice laser pointer dots a lot in this game so it bothers me knowing it could be a tell. I also play this game like a trap door spider so that may be part of it.

i wouldn't be surprised if somewhere down the line they allow it once they start seeing diminishing returns in elite skins. at least you can use the weapon skins across operators. also if you could change the equipment skins separately it would be funny to read the essays about how kapkan's reworked tripmine is pay2win lmao @4min lesion traps are SO god drat annoying to deal with that sometimes i will just pick thatcher and use my EMPs to blanket bottlenecks even if they're if they're in a basement or garage where breaching is the safest option
