they start to make sense once you practice when to charge a roll to a specific nook or to have them pop off on impact

also flashfuze timers can make or break her breach

if you're still having trouble with them make it rain like a sprinkler over the obj when your team is on the edges and the defenders are actively shooting back

you can also stagger a couple of them so you don't get hosed down by a blind magdump

What I usually do is pop a smoke on an objective room entrance and then chuck all my gadgets in from different angles and run in. You also have to be really cognizant of the layout of the room because if they're able to shoot in from a different room entirely then you're hosed, unless you can figure out how to nail the breach with a flash or smoke it. Best used on small, reinforced rooms.

use the shotgun if you wanna breach and clear with blatant aggression

the LMG is best for hammering bottlenecks with infinite prefire as your team does what they gotta do or are actively completing the obj

play ying like thatcher and she becomes a lot of fun. she is at her best playing support. try to 1v1 someone like a 3speed roamer and you better be on point or very sneaky because that LMG is not good for face to face duels

if you wanna put your life on the line blanket the obj in smoke and run into a good corner that isnt the very edge corner and as the smoke starts to clear you can stagger spam the flashes and pick off select defenders overcommitted to anchoring

its also a good way to make anyone on site scramble so while you're doing this a glaz or whatever can play for picks

If you wanna hammer bottlenecks with prefire play Zofia. Her LMG is way better for that.

After reading so much about her recently in the thread, I picked her up last night and basically just used her with the shotty 100% of the time. My personal favorite moment was blinding two dudes at once and shoving shells into their faces. Haven't even tried the LMG yet.

(I like to pretend that I've become really good at this game in the past few days, but I'm certain it's because a ton of people bought it post-free weekend, so I'll live it up while i can).

Ying is a 1-woman hostage rescuing machine too. I've made some epic grabs just by throwing in smokes and a few candelas. If you're lucky sometimes the enemy will kill the hostage so you don't even have to get them back outside. You'd think people wouldn't blindfire into a cloud of smoke when the hostage is moving but they really do.

lol I had that happen the other day, except some Johnny Rambo teammate heard the commotion and ran into a target-rich environment and somehow managed to land a burst of gunfire straight into the poor hostages dome. There were two guys looking straight at a wall and he managed to murder the poor hostage in my arms.

I was done for the night after that one.

This! He should also get the steel front-only body armour the Soviets made during WW2 to go with the theme of his helmet, too. (Both of which should protect him from one rifle round, or a couple of pistol/SMG rounds)

You get all the maps and ops regardless of whatever edition you buy. Don't buy the starter edition. Get the one that has season 1 and 2 passes in it so you have ops unlocked.

Have they fixed the match making? Do you still wait 10min ques before a match? I only tried the ladder once, but I really do miss dicking around in quickplay with this game.
Yet a lot of the issues that we complained about in beta (poor hit detection, queue times, match making) seemed to of plagued it still when I tried playing during Operation Health..

What region are you in?

In casual I only wait 30secs-1min when waiting for a match most times of day, and ranked a little longer. THunt is wild since it's not popular but I only do it for the challenges anyway.

This is in Australia so I assume anywhere with more population will easily queue faster.

All of this looks like german WW1 trench armor for machine gunners, not so much soviet armor. Especially since there's a tankgewehr in the hands of the rightmost guy.

North America. So normally East coast servers. I use to have a decent list of fellow players when I first started playing. But due to me being me, ended up removing them before operation health as I thought I was done with the game.
It was finding anything with a sub 200ping that always was my issue, the queue times were just the same for me though 5-10 mins :(
I wouldn't mind giving rank another try and actually see if that Plat ranking was earned or if I got carried :) once I learn the new maps.

I connect to EUS servers and casual takes like, 15 seconds to find a match. Ranked is maybe a minute? Usually much less. I'm in Newfoundland so I probably connect to Montreal servers and my ping is usually 48, playing with my boy in Alberta and my ping jumps to 100 connecting to a different data center

There are way more people playing then when you so it'll be nothing like what you're describing, thankfully
