Just got done doing 3 double shifts back to back so give me a few hours to get some sleep and I will be game.

Also opened 2 big bundles and the only epic weapon I got was Type 2 Butchers. FML.

Yeah that’s the problem with the big bundle. It is only worth it if you’re an idiot like me that have been farming keys constantly / buying every hack and bundle whenever available.

Week 3 boxes should be up today and the epic auger in it looks real good.

Talking of which, here's a video doing a review about this new auger variant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKuaRdHEBxQ

It has significantly more recoil so this is really a more close quarter centered lmg variant but they lie when they say "has a lower maximum fire rate than the base variant", it shoots just as fast!

Continuing the long tradition of the answer to any headliner asking a question being "no".

Say... since Activision patented that bullshit matchmaking to make newbs buy loot boxes, does that mean no one else can use that style of matchmaking, unless they pay The Big A a license fee?

I’m generally ok handling recoil so I think I’m still going to go for this and give it a fair shot. It doesn’t look nearly as good as it did on paper, though. Moving it to a 4-5 kill range always kinda negates the skip ramping up part.

Bitch please, Fury is way more close quartered in that you have loving dumb hip spread to start.

Also, watch as people call it OP while not realizing it's a 4-shot minimum now.

... poo poo it still might outclass the Flatline.

Took me 17 boxes to get it (including the free one) :negative:

Anyways with double keys and one zombie run a day + whatever MP we play should get me back to 1000 by next week. May need a few extra zombie runs in the weekend to close it out.

I played Advanced Warfare tonight. I ran around with an ASM1 and poo poo on people, it was fun. I guess the Supply Drop weapons are pretty good because I saw a lot of them and not many ASM1 or BAL users.

Yeah the joint op is the hack. I’ll be home around 6ish and will jump right on to either play or farm keys. Maybe both?

I was not expecting to have WWII weekend off, but I do now. I’m not sure if I want to play Mario Odyssey first, though. The first weekend of a new COD tends to be kinda rough.

Aaaaaand it’s a new weekend bundle.

525 keys: 15 rare crates, 1 random epic supply drop, 1 guaranteed epic mk 2 weapon, and epic weapon camo.

I think this is pretty “good” on the keys (it’s 450 for 15 crates and you’re essentially getting 18 with 3 of those being guaranteed epics). The hacks should be dupe protected (mk 2 weapons and camo). The epic supply drop could be anything, though. There’s also no limit as to how many time you can buy it so you could technically farm the absolute poo poo out of SS and get it a few times? I’m probably going to skip just because I already have too many epics to work on and not feeling the need for an epic whatever and camo. If the 15 boxes were dupe protected I would definitely jump on.

Forget weapon bundles, I wish there was a synaptic bundle with guaranteed synaptic pieces.

Happy Noodle Boy

I only go for weapon bundles because I still want the warsight and the epic trenches and like 3 more guns. Also because they refuse to move poo poo from the quartermaster collection to craft able prototypes. My guess is once WW2 comes out they’ll start loosing poo poo up bit by bit to keep the playerbase going for a while kinda how BO3 had new releases well throughout this year.

EDIT: Oh by the way the epic supply drop’s epic item could be epic SALVAGE.
