You can get a similar situation if you don't clear out wildlife camps (and the crafting mats are so underwhelming that if you want to keep moving then yeah just go) -- if another team clears out a camp you partially worked on then now you instantly know where they are since you'll get the camp notification and partial credit for materials.

WHAT DO I CHOOSE ?
Compared to how far you max out at horizontally, Ash's phasing has a crazy long vertical reach. Not quite Pathfinder class upwards mobility, but it makes much less noise and you can move a whole team through. I think it's a lot of fun but suspect my victims wouldn't agree.

For arenas: Triple take/Havoc just to give yourself more than 5 times as much ammo for the triple take.

I've seen an awful lot of "Prowler Camp Cleared! Have some materials!" messages pop up when I have been nowhere near said camp or even done any damage to a prowler. What's even weirder is sometimes only one or two of us out of a squad gets it. Nobody I've talked to has been able to work out a pattern for this.

I got the nest cleared message today because I killed a single prowler before killing the team that killed all the other ones

I had that happen today, got a prowler nest cleared message when I’d not gone near a prowler at all that game. Speaking of nests I’ve never gotten a clear message for the spider nest at the north entrance of Command Center, there must be an egg sac hiding somewhere.

Regarding Ash’s death box scan, I don’t agree that it’s a guaranteed net negative. I’ve had it work in my favor multiple times. It’s a bit of a trade-off but so is every other scan in the game - which is why I doubt they’ll remove the heads-up for the scanee. Just gotta avoid using it at the wrong time time and react as needed once you have the information. The other half of the passive is straight up extremely good though. FYI you can hover over the deathbox markers on your map for a timer and ping them for your squad.

Big thing I notice with Ash is nearby deathboxes appear on your radar as soon as people die so it's great to know exactly where a nearby firefight is happening.

So far I've used this to warn my team there's a squad at the top of a zip line and watched them ignore me.

Regrettable posted:

Yup, and if you've only killed people in one area you know exactly where they are. Happened with me and my buddies last night. We killed a few teams on drop, looted, and left. We got the scan notification when we were about 200m away so we just went back and killed the team that was going over our scraps.

e: And if you've been scanned you're probably already assuming that they'll be coming after you. If you're the scanner you might not even think about the team turning around and coming back or setting up in an advantageous position between where you are and where they were when you scanned them.

It really looks like the gravity cannons were modelled to fit a trident through, maybe they tested that and ended up cutting it

Damnit Steve, you know I'm a sucker for Back to the Future references.
It's been a good few months since I played and I feel like movement has been changed in some way but I can't put my finger on it. It's like my acceleration is lower than it used to be, I try to start running and sliding from a standing position and I just end up crouching instead because I'm not moving fast enough.

Does this sound right? Was something like this changed in the last few months? It's really messing with my movement muscle memory, I constantly feel like I'm just moving so slow compared to before.

New map isn't quite as smooth so its harder to get some of the slides going.

Those market skins are weird but cool, very sad that you can't buy the dj gibby skin without the bundle though. I'd buy it at 20, but definitely not at 30.

Is there a "Seer has scanned you/detected heartbeat" warning yet, or did they nerf him bad enough that it doesn't matter? How much worse is the passive now?

The passive is pretty short range now, you'll probably have a good chance of hearing his squad running around if he's in range to hear your heartbeat.

If you get hit by his tac or you're inside his ultimate there's a notification, but not for the heartbeat sensor.

They’re collaborations with a Veblen good clothing brand so of course they’re gonna be ostentatious as hell. The surprising thing to me is that the Mirage skin is actually really cool, though it could do without the leopard print. The Lifeline skin kinda works in it’s own way too, not my thing but I see it’s appeal to some people. The Gibby skin is sort of like a worse version of the Lifeline skin, but almost works in how crazy it is. The Wraith and Bloodhound skins are just plain dogshit, though.

I am def not paying $18 for any of them, though.

Played Wattson for the first time this season.

Won with Wattson for the first time this season.

The rapid deploy on the fences and the faster charge time on the ultimate means her abilities are relevant to nearly every fight you get into. I didn't really notice any perceptible difference with her hitbox changes. Every time we got into a fight somewhere I'd just toss the pylon behind a tree or a rock or something and not worry too much about Perfect Deployment.

I think the wraith skin is great in a sort of hilarious way and would definitely get it for crafting tokens, but not real money.

I'm an obtuse man,
so I'll try to be oblique.
I've also noticed that movement feels...different. Something's off. Even when running on flat terrain the time from standing stop to run to slide is noticably longer.

My buddy also noted that the acceleration from Octane's stim also feels...slower.

Yeah, this is it. Move Fragment to an edge of the map or something. Or just blow it up and turn WE into a donut, Skyhook and Lava City are more fun "urban" areas to fight in anyway.
