I'm pretty sure it's all but guaranteed they will swap one care package weapon and the two crafter weapons.

Though looking at the unofficial list of weapons it might be the G7.

I'm extremely okay with this. Bocek should be perma-care packaged until something else is created that uses arrows tbh.

seems like you gotta finish all the challenges to max out the battle pass? I dont wanna use shotguns and pistols in arena

repiv
Aug 13, 2009

not even close, if you keep up with the dailies you can finish the pass not even half way through the season

there's a lot of wiggle room to skip challenges

yeah, Respawn made it pretty clear that all Arena weekly challenges were just slapped on top of the traditional amount of BR challenges, so they basically just doubled the amount of weeklies you can potentially do.


Generally if you play at all regularly you'll get the pass done a decent chunk before the last week with the help of daily challenge stuff, even faster if you also do the arena challenges.

The dailies / EXP levels contribute a fair amount to BP progression so if you start late in a season you probably won't get everything done. Such is life

I started pretty late and have about 60 levels to get in the next week? I wonder if I can do it.

I'm between jobs right now so I guess i'll report back.

There is a lot of overlap with challenges. Play 12 matches and 5000 damage with the same person, plus other random ones let you get them in bunches.

This. I save most of the character challenges for late season and you can gain 15+ levels in a day if you stack them.

Best way to do it is just dedicate to playing a poo poo load everyday and checking trackers every 5 games or so just to make sure you're picking the right character or looking for the right weapons. Make sure to play with goons so you can talk about bullshit while getting XP bonus for those sweet useless red coins (unless you're level 500 and then nvm because you get them like every 10 levels idk how this work im just rambling now)

Honestly I'm into the shield/backpack changes. The other changes seem kind of unusual.

Though I wouldn't mind running a Wingman/Longbow loadout at all!

Wingman users are coming for your sniper ammo and they won’t back down

Relyssa
Jul 29, 2012

Wingman changing to sniper ammo is the perfect nerf. Now you can't carry 120+ bullets that each do 45 damage minimum for no downside. You wanna stockpile that ammo, spend some backpack space. Also about time there was a light ammo LMG. Also also my beloved volt is back, how I've missed it.

I am almost certain laser sights are going to be OP as gently caress. The SMG hipfire was already pretty good, imagine a R99 nerd with laser sights.

I already heavily favored bringing a RE45/P2020 with Hammer Point for finishing off enemies, you're telling me now that I don't even need to ADS with these anymore?

Notable Changes:
  • Care package rotation confirmed to be Scout/Volt out, Rampage/Bocek in.
  • Wingman/Spitfire ammo changes confirmed. No stat changes to either weapon.
  • Free thermite in the care package when you grab the Rampage out of it. You still have to charge the gun.
  • Devotion and Hammerpoints RE-45 in the crafter.
  • Self-res may come back in the future, is not necessarily gone for good.

ETA: It's unclear whether this means hammerpoints are still on the ground. I assume so, since you can still use them in two other guns, but this is a weird situation to be sure.

The r99 nerds do 3 different "one weird trick"s to make the hipfire accuracy a non-issue anyways.

good

it's comically easy to do a ton of damage with basically one inventory slot worth of ammo whereas that kind of damage on any other gun would take substantially more investment

3030 doesn't give you pistol movement speed so it's fine
