I've really fucked it. Have I fucked it?
Played a round of gun game -- it's fun, but maybe suffers from the same issue as the snipers and knives mode (by Stodeh, also a mode I enjoyed): players trickle in, so if you were not there from the first round, it's hard to catch up. Especially when others have ARs already and you start off with the pistols.

I really hope they put Rush into a regular rotation at least. I wasn't even the biggest fan of the mode in the past, but it's nice to chill out away from the 128-player madness.

Are they consistent for everyone? ie everyone has the shotgun/dmr weekly?

I'm much more into it if it makes everyone use some bizarre off-meta weapons together

Uh the shotgun is very meta, atleast for me. poo poo is a one-hit-kill out to very decent ranges, I could see it getting a nerf after this week.

Heads up you gotta play on either the Battlefield 2042 rush or the Rush of Ages playlists for the mcom challenge. Custom lobbies don’t seem to track for it

I was looking for this screen in-game. How do you get to it? EDIT: Nevermind, it's on the matchmaking screen.

Annoying that there is no game indication when you are working towards it.

And yes, it's the same for everyone. The amount of shotguns used in my Rush games today was disgusting. But the auto-shotty just shreds...

I was just playing Rush with Falk and the Saiga and lmao the chaos in the last objective. Half the game was running Falk / Angel and Saiga or the pump shotgun.

Just the first one, the autoshotty isnt great atleast with default attachements.

Yeah, the pump is surprisingly good fun. Pretty generous one-hit range, and you can two-tap people out to remarkably long distances. Really looking forwards to how the other ammo types play out, particularly slug and the extended-range buckshot. Though at short ranges you'll still get annihilated by the autoshotty unless you nail that first shot right away.

:patriot:

iirc slugs do something like 65 dmg out to 70m or so. They are pretty good. Certainly better than the slugs in the auto shotgun which does 25dmg :laugh:
Flechettes seem to do the same damage as regular buckshot, now with 100% more penetration! Or maybe very slightly less damage. At least not enough to immediately notice when swapping between the 2.
I haven't tried the ranged buckshot.

Dynamite Dog posted:

The pump action can one shot to 14m or so. The auto shotgun cannot one shot kill. But it's 2 shots out to 12m.

You need to stop moving while you fire with the shotgun , it reduce spread by a lot. Kinda like a sniper rifle.

Do the angel supply boxes not replenish M5s? I've been super confused on now to reload those. In previous versions, you just had to stand on the box for 30 seconds or whatever to get a new missile/explosive.

The angel ammo pouches only give bullets and 20 armor. The supply crate does resupply the M5(and everything else).

The ammo crate gadget also resupplies the M5 like you are used to.

hold use on the crate to bring up the interface then hit esc to reload your current loadout

using the crate gives you back all your grenades and equipment ammo

using any angel crate has a 20s global cooldown for yourself which you can see if you step a little bit aways from the crate

(the crate sometimes bugs out on giving you a new beacon)

holy poo poo the PKB is a loving laser now

edit: slap a 3x scope on, long barrel, use standard rounds and the bipod and no joke this poo poo is busted, just a tiny bit of vertical jump on the first shot and it's after it's almost recoilless

edit edit: just won a rush map as defense that lasted less than ten minutes, and in that time I got 58 kills with the pkb just sitting at range mowing down attackers lmfao

the PKP doesn't have a long barrel, are you talking about the LCMG?

it gives you the beacon but you have to manually reload it (by pressing r) for some reason before you can deploy it

SVK ate a huge nerf, the recoil impulse is a hilarious 45 degree jump that takes twice as long to return to center, cutting the effective rate of fire a ton

this really feels like the anti-fun patch I was worried about
