Things could be going better

Tips for newbies

- Hold Z to spot enemies while in camera mode (thanks sappo for teaching me basic controls)
- Friendly fire is on, but there are no neutral hostages yet. Lead with grenades.
- Shields are a bitch but very directional. Get around them
- Destructible walls, which look like they are made out of particle board, can be re-enforced with metal walls that only one operative can breach through. You can only put up two sections each, use them to direct the flow of combat.
- As tempting as it is to pop a hole in a window and look outside, it also is a huge red flag. Use the cameras instead.
- Barbed wire is poo poo for slowing down players but great for trapping roller cameras. Put them near stairways and blow up all their rollers.

VVVV the guy with the jammer is Mute, and he does indeed have four although they have a very small effective area. That being said if you can get a camera to run into one then it will kill it dead.

/\ also remember to hide your camera near the end of the mini-game, so you can use it later to mark enemies in the room, under cabinets etc is usually a good place. The tool that lets you destroy any robots that get too close is really good too, place it in barbed wire to hide it at the tops of stairs and stuff to stop them from coming up, you have like 4 too so use them to block of areas, i think its the defending SAS dude that has it.

Should be home in a few hours so i can play with all you PC nerds.

Also if you put one just behind a wall, ennemy will be unable to use breaching charges on that wall.

See you in mumble :911:

PS, As Dream said: Marking enemies: As defenders, you can use the "5" key to bring up the CCTV system, hold down X to mark any enemies you see on the camera. Can also do the same when viewing team mates roller drones, for instance if your drone gets nuked on the pre-deployment phase, or you're dead and waiting for the round to finish

So I got one of the codes from a giveaway, where am I supposed to download this from? I already added it to my UPlay account but I can't find a download link on the website or in my UPlay library.

Edit: I'll leave this up just in case someone has the same question. It's a known issue Ubisoft is having, just wait for your code to arrive via email after you redeem the initial one via the website.

Ps4 report...

It has potential but I can't get comfortable with the aiming. Feels floaty or something even with dead zone set at the lowest setting. And it's pretty ugly with not so great of frame rate. I love the teamwork aspect but the aiming is going to take some getting used to

So I got a code that I need to use on the RSS site after I log into uplay which I've done, but when I hit Beta Registration it just says I can't access content at this time.

Anyone else having the same issue? Could it be a region thing? I'm in Puerto Rico if that matters.

Any idea how to deploy the shock wire as Bandit? I press the key and he just holds it and if I let go he puts it away, I've tried all sorts of places to put it and he does the same thing.

As far as I've seen, you can put it on re-enforced walls and the razor wire.

You look at the floor and hold the key, if it's eligible your character will move their hand to the pull tab, let go and stand still and you'll throw it down. For Bandit's toy you need to specifically place it on reinforcements or already placed wire.

If you put it on a wall will that make it completely unbreachable even by thermite ?

I think so, but keep in mind reinforcements can be shot through by some guns, so they could just pop it with the right shot.

Have you ever needed to kill absolutely everything on the other side of a wall?

On the other hand, it is still a blind fire so it's hard to tell if someone actually on the other side.

So we're playing last night, and I'm running into the room head first as Blitz. Guy pops out starts shooting immediately gets flashbanged by blitz's shield, and owned owned owned owned. I couldnt stop laughing it was so hilarious, he kept screaming about "OVERPOWERED SHIELD rear end in a top hat" This is the greatest game.

Fuze and Blitz are the ultimate I'm an rear end in a top hat wombo combo shield team. Use Fuze with frags and blitz with breaches then just lead with clusters and into the breach shield assholes go.

Yeah I got an nvidia code and redeemed it, and it said "Ok we'll let you know when the beta opens" but it kind of seems like the beta is going on right now, and I haven't gotten a way to play the game. Am I missing something or have I just been put into a later wave of beta applicants?

Log into UPlay and see if the games there, should be able to download it.

Also we've got a group starting up on CTS right now, 3 spots available. Down in Misc we're in Buttes channel, DeadLikeRev in game.
