Over the last couple weeks I've noticed a lot more people doing armor crafting at the replicator, like significantly more up from basically never. Did something happen to popularize it?

It's easier to gather materials now that the pickups are shared over the whole squad

I always go for the backpack if it's there. Shield batteries and ammo are my backups if there's no attachments for any weapons I already have, but armor crafting takes priority sometimes if I don't have inventory space and am still stuck on white armor.

Backpack > batteries > magazines > medkits > armor upgrade. I'd rather just kill my way to better clothes than waste all the craftbux on them.

White armor is such a huge disadvantage that upgrading is probably the most impactful thing you can do to win your next fight. Stuff like batteries are good but much more speculative.

In addition, vantage is everywhere, can see you have white armor, and can two tap you.

Did they ever explain why white helmets and knockdown shields are still spawning on the ground despite not ever needing them now?

White knockdowns definitely don't spawn on the ground, and I don't think helmets do either? I've only ever seen them as the result of someone upgrading from white and leaving them behind.

I've definitely seen them both on the ground or in supply bins before for sure, and I usually land further away from the main drops so I see quite a lot of them at the start.

Yes, it's still very good but it has more competition now with the volt being out of care package and the other smgs having godly hipfire accuracy.

My favorite uses for the CAR was to build a gun I'd swap to or let it soak up loot as a secondary and it's not as good at the first piece, but I still like it fine.

The car goes down in value for not having the laser sight slot but the versatility still makes it worth it to pick up imo.

yeah with an across the board hipfire nerf on smgs and the car being the odd one out for barrel stab or laser sights it's niche is now entirely how flexible it is ammo and mag type wise. Bit more damage too per bullet but it feels a bit less oppressive.

Talking about oppressive, PK is the most oppressive gun in the game (a PK with no attachments beats any fully kitted gun in the game at close range), but noone seems to care.

Gonna disagree with you on that bud, the carepackage Mastiff exists at the moment. Also tbh the Eva after the buffs is looking kinda disgusting and I hate it.

PK wins peek wars though, no argument there.

The new Exo with kit deletes people. I needed a purple bolt and stock but having seen a Timmy video I made sure to try it and I just wiped multiple teams with it.

Shotguns are back!

Yeah, I was specifically thinking of peek wars in my head when I made the last post. But if you aren't using a peek and shoot style with PK, you aren't using the PK correctly. And like you said, it just doesn't get beat in that style of fight, which is kind of ridiculous considering it's a ground loot weapon. Even at mid range, it consistently hits for 60+ which is stupid for a shotgun

I had a pred octane peek kill my entire squad in a 1v3 on the last circle three nights ago with a PK and I haven’t booted up the game since

I played a game yesterday where I was chasing an octane, hit him in the body with a wingman, hit him in the head with the wingman, I ran up close to him to finish him with my prowler and shoot him once with it, he does a 180 in the air and hits me one time with his PK and insta kills me.

I had just white armor, but still, I land 3 skill shots on him and get defeated by just one RNG shot (I guess he hit me in the head? Never got full downed by just one PK shot before that)

sure, but with no attachments a fully kitted EVA has just dumped over half its mag into your face by the time you cock the PK again. Fun fact, the PK does over 200 damage in 4 shots now if you hit all your pellets.

If you have time to pump the PK is the best shotgun but the one thing respawn has done well is give all the shotguns their own niche.

drat sorry to hear your teammates subscribed to honorable 1v1 in final ring.


My assertion is that the PK is not the best gun in the game without attachments, but it's certainly the strongest in its niche.
