this was one of most weirdly intense games I've played in a while. it consisted almost entirely of two extended fights and was 2v3 from very early on, with a nice amount of damage dealt, a bunch of sneaking to get my teammate back up twice, shooting at a branch and a wraith that was impossible to hit. Video's quite long but it really is just those two fights:

Solo queue is likely easier because they don't match you with full squads only duos or solo players.

Also going back to earlier chat, the longbow is good. It's situational like all snipers but out of the 3 it's the best, catch a squad in the open from 200 metres or so away and you can usually down 2 before they make it to cover if your aim is good. Get that initial hs with Skullpiercer and your first target will go down almost instantly after that. The triple take is too weak but the easiest to aim and the g7 at sniper distance you may as well be hitting them with spit balls. I usually rock it mid game where a lot of the fights are spread out more then drop it for something more close quarters for the end game smaller circle.

That 50 million video was so good, though would have been amazing if they added a release date for the battle pass at the end, yea I'm greedy.

The Scout and Triple Take are both way better than the Longbow in my experience. You can spam the Scout and it can chew people up very fast, particularly if you can get chained headshots. Triple Take's high velocity + trivial drop makes it better at 150m+ and also better up close. Longbow is pretty good between 50m and 150m but any other time I'd rather have the other sniper rifles, since that Longbow RoF punishes misses big time.

True but 40 shots for the Take Take Take and you're golden. It's really easy on the ammo.

Also for a while I was playing mainly as Pathfinder and holy moly they need to do something about the hit boxes. I just figured I was just bad at the game but when I switched over to Bloodhound I saw an immediate and dramatic improvement (I wasn't dying immediately in fights). That's a difficult balancing act though so it'll be interesting to see how they address it.


I main pathfinder but yeah, I've recently started trying bangalore and the difference is noticeable. I can't stay away from my robot boy too long though - the sheer mobility is such a joy to use.

I guess I just use the g7 more as a battle rifle than a traditional sniper so I always feel like it's more for closer engagements than the other two snipers. It can shine in those situations though. And I've never really had an issue with the rof on the longbow but I think its just personal preference on how you like your snipers: more damage and lower rof vs the opposite. I just took umbridge with whoever called it garbage when it does its job well which I think is surprising teams in the distance moving in the open and getting a quick down for your team to rush and take advantage of.

Am I misremembering or doesn't the triple take use 3 bullets for every shot? So you chew through it faster. I haven't used it in a bit tbf.

Nope, you get 3 - count 'em, 3 - zaps for the price of one!

edit: The Longbow ain't bad - in fact I've come around to the fact that other than the Mozamweak, there's no real bad guns in this game. Yeah even the P2020 is good in the right hands.

The Double Take did use 2 bullets per shot, if you played TF|2 maybe you’re remembering that?

Yeah I'm wondering if it's a connection issue sometimes or people who have literally no idea respawning is a thing, since I've seen folks do it in like textbook 'we won the engagement, sucks they focused you' scenarios in the first 5 minutes of a match. One dude even did it AFTER I picked up his banner and was hoofing it to a beacon.

It’s weird how you can go through phases of similar matches. Yesterday the trend was very talkative teammates, tonight it’s wiping 2-3 squads before being killed in the first 5 minutes of the game, then getting insulting messages from teammates I carried.

I've had the CTD once and it was at the most heartbreaking moment: Rounding the corner behind 2 last enemies while they are shooting my squadmates. They don't know I'm there. I have a peacekeeper. I click - POOF

Friend I play with is lucky to make it through two games in three for how much he crashes.

People keep saying this but I don't think it's definitely true. Maybe during busy hours there's enough people playing for it, but I played solo yesterday around 2-4am EST and I was constantly seeing champion 3 stacks of level 100 TTV players. No way that was a coincidence.

I crashed while there were 2 squads left trying to get a bangalore win for the achievement. We had a sneaking suspicion the last team was bad and hiding, my duo won the 1v3 and I was sad. Got a win 2 games later so all was good in the end.
