In general wattson sucks at being proactive. She is explicitly designed to be played passively and really needs a good team that can pick up the slack while rotating and fighting in open areas so she can shine when the squad finally decides to hunker down. Until then you're basically just a third gun with a subpar hitbox who can set up a makeshift defensive position in a pinch. She has tricks to survive more aggressive engagements, but playing her aggressively as a playstyle is a waste of her strengths and you would be much better served by a good aggressive legend or caustic, who is still defensive but has way more flexibility in his playstyle. She's incredibly strong, but you gotta play to her strengths to draw that strength out.

West007 posted:Weekly challenges to open supply bins at certain locations can suck my rear end. I havent fully completed a single one. Why is it always for a zone in the middle of nowhere, right now I have swamps, relay and artillery. My attempt at dropping artillery to get a few resulted in 2 poo poo games and 0 challenge progress. Artillery is the worst one. There's 4 total supply bins in the entire area, and you're not going to open any of them unless you drop right on top of them at the start of the game. Which means either cold dropping and running across the map for 10 minutes or hot dropping in a terrible spot in Artillery and probably only opening 1 or 2.

Playing a Caustic Gib Wattson squad is absolutely horrible for anyone trying to assault your position if you find the ring first. Managed to set up at Gas station (next to repulsor). Watching the last squad try to push past a maze of gas, artillery and laser fences while we took potshots at them with our krabers was pretty funny.

/\ best way to deal with those squads is just make a bunch of noise near them then run off and try to get them thirdpartieddogstile posted:Its nice to know i've made you reconsider the G7 as a non poo poo tier gun tbh I literally had to carry it around for like 5 hours and i completely sucked with it for like 4 hours before it clicked.

tweet my meat posted:Wattson's fences most definitely function for area denial, you just described it doing that very thing. You were denied access because you were smart enough to realize that pushing through the fences was a likely death sentence. You can still force your way through it, but any good team will be able to capitalize on that. The early warning is seeing on your mini map when they shoot the fence rods. I’ve almost never had someone walk through the fence to get the notification/pop up.

Its funny, as those of you who play with me know, that row of 4 bins is my preferred drop at art and I get all 4 of them I'll say 75 percent of the time. Only challenge that truly sucked for me so far is the L star knocks, of which I still have 2. I haven't even bothered to pick up the 2 or 3 I've seen since that weeks challenges though. I swore off shotguns after a very annoying 2 kills in the same match challenge but then I landed skully yesterday in my first match, found a pk and just was in the zone and decimated everyone. Finished with 11 kills and 1600 damage.

soggybagel posted:My team actually lost a game in the most infuriating way where they had the interior of a house/building on those steppes all fenced up. And the ULT was going in the perfect spot where any grenade we hucked in got disintegrated so we did a push and of course the 3rd (of 3) teams showed up and we got sandwich killed but we couldn't even really push in to the loving house so it just sucked. And yeah, Wattson's fences are less area denial weapons and more just like, early warning systems/makes attackers think for just an extra second. I love running a Wattson/Caustic/X team because it can be hilarious to just totally screw a team over. If you ever get the lucky roll of running through bunker as the circle is closing and a team is on your rear end you can basically trap them. I tried super hard to fast forward it but it wouldn’t work for some reason. There’s an editor in YouTube you can use to trim videos you post there I believe. I’ve had a few games like this including one where I literally camped the entire game and 1v1ed the last dude for the win. Also had a match where I dropped an entire squad solo for the win. Both with gibby. He’s super good sometimes.

I did some real grinding at the end of season 1 to get to 110 and was ready to take a break for the few weeks between season 1 and 2. I ended up playing a buncha games in between even without the extra dopamine from the battle pass just cause its a good game I can play with people I like.

I don’t really pay much attention to the dailies/weeklies, is one of them to scan survey beacons? Because yesterday I and one teammate went down in a hotdrop clusterfuck at Market, and our level 10 or w/e teammate who somehow managed to still be alive and mostly unscathed just ignored all the chaos going on around him and made a very determined effort to scan the beacon there (not sure if he succeeded, as soon as he plugged his robo-penis in I said “are you loving kidding me dude?” and DCed).

Yup. Scan 5 survey beacons is a weekly assignment for me. I hate to say it, but I did something similar. I was sitting on 4/5 scanned and it was my last game of the day. One teammate got shot up and while I ran over there to help, I noticed the beacon. I scanned it first before getting to my teammate  we didn't die because of it though.

I do the same thing tbh. Same with finishers. I'm probably going to throw the odd game by knocking someone down and then finishing them in the middle of a firefight.

Recently I am averaging about 2 kills a game instead of two kills a night which is rather satisfying. Seems being a little bit more careful and thinking before charging in like Dizzy is working out pretty well. Also, the Havoc might be my favorite gun now

I swear the challenges change sometimes. Yesterday I had a 'drop in repulsor' weekly challenge. Next game I drop there, challenge isn't unlocked. Weird, I think. I go and check the challenge screen and it says 'drop at artillery'. I'm 100% sure it said repulsor before

You did. It's a multi stage challenge. Once you have dropped on Artillery, you'll be given a third locality to drop, which will finally unlock the challenge.
