There's a lot of trolling right now because of free weekends and UBISoft giving the starter edition out. Constant team killing will only get you banned.

As a new player why is there so many team killing? Is it people trying to rank down to get easy wins?

Get in the Discord or Chugging the Stairs and go for a free carry to the sweaty side of the game. We'll teach you slightly less bad habits than the average newbie pubbies will.

I still see teamkills on the opposing team once every 10 games or so, but I can't recall the last time anyone on a team I was on was intentionally TKed.

Fuze isn't as insanely strong of a pick as he used to be once they added some granularity into the explosives. 5 pucks per charge and 3 charges made him a hostage killing machine when it's only miss or dead, no injures (beyond armor plates, anyways)

I got teamkilled because I didn't take any attachments on alibi and said it was so I could pretend to be a prisma. Some people just don't appreciate next level gameplay playing for laughs :argh:

He still rules. Especially when the other team picks Castle.

Is there a site for best “builds” for characters? That might be too inside baseball lol.

Also I’ll stop asking dumb questions but how does discord work with Xbox? Or is it a way to find other goons in Xbox?

There's weapon attachment guides out there. I've actually really wanted to make a site or app with builds and team compositions.

Not really, there are a number of analysis videos on what attachments should be used and such (Rogue-9 is quite popular), but it largely come down to how things feel.

Personally, most of my guns have flash hiders (single shots get muzzle breaks, and a few automatic weapons get compensators). Never use long barrels, they are not worth it. Sights wise it comes down to preference, reflex sights tend to be best in my experience purely because they don't block sightlights as much. Shotguns benefit the most from laser sights, but other than that I can't stand them, as they can reveal your location and don't offer enough benefit to outweigh that cost.

As for particular weapon choices, that can't be easily summarized here, but most of the time there is usually an obvious choice. You can always ask in here for opinions on what to use in those cases where is isn't clear. Secondary gadgets are very operator and map dependent, but there usually isn't any explicitly bad choices.

Empress Brosephine posted:

This happens a lot in lower levels because some accounts are smurfs or people screwing around, or are not familiar with the consequences for doing so, and sometimes they are simply people not paying attention to their hud (this happens regardless but especially with newer players).

My "favorite" thing to be subjected to is someone joining a team, picking cav, downing the entire team and then leaving the match. Always "fun".

Compensator on anything with a ridiculous RPM like vector/smg-11 & 12/bearing for mag dumping

Flash hider on dmr's or if you're running around and going for the headshot evry tim

I have laser sights on pretty much every weapon because they look dope, same with silencers on secondaries

but also this

the biggest exception is that ash's R4 flash hider > compensator because the kick between the first and 2nd shot is nuts. but if you're playing ash instead of hibana or zofia you got bigger problems

Now be a dear and
fuck the fuck off.
This is your casual reminder that the tooltips lie, and the gun attachments don't do what they imply. It's nothing more than one does horizontal recoil, one does vertical, and one does a mix of the two.

There aren't many tutorial videos I don't slap that 2x speed on, but yeah, there is no threat indicator when being shot at with a silencer, there is still a hit indicator, and the bullet trail is barely visible and there is no muzzle flash

That's pretty much the entire video

u should just start playing Ranked as soon as u can once you've got basics down imo...ppl in Casual kinda already play like psychos so you'll have to relearn some stuff just 4 (in my experience) the different pace of Ranked
