Has anyone noticed that the backstory for the Padmavati multiplayer character (the shotgun woman) says that she fights against the British in India? Somewhat awkward!

She's apparently part of the INA, who were aligned with the Axis. The British did loving suck in India, but siding with the Nazis also sucks.

Fight for whoever you want, but waging guerrilla war against the British while also serving on one of their SOE teams is like wanting to have your cake and eat it! You're breaking my immersion Sledgehammer!

She's just getting training by the proto-CIA in order to then turn around and teach those tactics to her people to undermine the British rule and free her country from the yoke of colonialism.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

When you pop Dead Drop, it locks in whatever your current kill streaks is. If you die, it respawns you back at 5 or 8 or however many kills you had so that you can keep working toward your dogs or whatever.

There’s no reason for snipers to exist when the SVT is a thing.

That being said, I’d use them on longer sightline maps until you get a shorter range optic, then shipment while being a shitter

Any of the rifles you recommend? Any easier to use than the others?

And yeah, the marksman rifles make these weapons pretty obsolete unless you're aim is godly.

I avoid snipers like the plague because you can build the SVT to be a one hit kill from the chest up while being semi auto. It’s disgustingly good.

Oh yeah and it still penetrates for double kills. I’m amazed that I don’t see it more often.

They use different slots and have different stat effects while keeping you off the radar

that sounds cheeky and unhelpful, but that’s really what it comes down to - there doesn’t seem to be any reason to stack them and the silencers do the same thing subsonic does re: radar, so subsonic basically exists if you want to use a different muzzle attachment

dead drop basically works as follows: it’s a quick charging field upgrade that, when activated, means that when you next die whatever kill count you had transfers over to your next life - it won’t give you duplicates of streaks you’ve already earned, but it’s a nice way of working up to higher streaks over multiple lives (since 2x 4-5 kills in a row is frequently much easier than 8-10)

you won’t have it up 100% of the time, but it does come back very fast, especially since lives where you get significant kill streaks going also naturally build a lot of charge

however worth noting that it’s currently bugged so that if you earn your final kill streak while it’s activated, you’ll return to life one kill short of the final kill streak, allowing you to almost instantly re-earn it, which is how you’re seeing people chain multiple copies of high-tier kill streaks

It wasn’t great 99% of the time but it at least was interesting. Huge map, lots of people but staggered spawns, vehicles actually being used, games don’t end in under 5 minutes. Also the only mode that made snipers more than just bad rifles or bullshit quickscopes.

The Kar98k is always a one shot. I only tried one marksman rifle (Garand) but it took like 3 shots for a guaranteed kill even with attachments, so I guess I don't understand the point of them. Would rather just use the kar and one shot.

The SVT fucks, friend. Build it for damage and recoil control and center mass becomes a one shot and you can make three shots in the the time it takes one with a sniper. Use the first barrel attachment, plus vital and whatever recoil control you can get.

Just tried this and it's completely correct, this is disgustingly good. No way this makes it through a balance patch.

As long as you hit above the waist, it's probably a one hit kill, and if it isn't, it fires essentially as fast as you can pull the trigger for a followup shot.
