how do they work?
Gib has high winrates because he's one of the only heroes that gets to say "gently caress off" and pretty much guarantee a heal during it. Also because every gib squad i see typically is full of players who don't want to fight until its the very last fight (that they can third party, with bombardment).

Figure 1: Mario's weird dog
Literally just change wraiths animations
Instead of doing the sonic hedgeheg run, a more typical run
Instead of a broken hitbox, a working hitbox
Also, why is it baldwraith that tends to be the problem? Did some streamer ever say that the removal of hair makes the hitbox yet smaller?

imo they should just make Wraith thicc af

Just write it into the lore and the developing storyline of the game that blah blah blah technobabble Caustic and Wraith swapped minds and now they have the same skillset just with a model swap.

This is my only legendary skin for her and people are also saying that skin is being used as a hate symbol?

pretty sure its more that with bald wraith the already wraithly tendency to be either VERY sucky or VERY VERY good is further magnified.

A while back someone in this thread idly wondered if there were any skinheads out there using that skin, but there’s not any actual evidence of it.

And use whatever character/skin you want, if people are making snap judgements based on it then that’s on them. They’ll either reconsider when you defy their expectations, or they’re a shithead and it doesn’t matter.

If my teammate just seems to bee-line in the direction of other teams without any apparent rhyme or reason and then solo wipes them, that would seem like some kind of hack, right?

I can believe there are people that good at shooting, but they took the weirdest, quickest lines from wherever we were to wherever an enemy was, non-stop.

I think this is assuming a lot just because someone solo wipes a squad and gets somewhere quick. If you really want to get kills you should run towards enemy teams fighting constantly and finish up the weaker squads. A lot of the time ill do this and not go the quickest way because it's not the safest and I don't want to be game kept or there's no cover to handle a full squad.

It's so easy to finish up a squad of 3 if they are all looting and still weak from a previous battle.

There's a difference between generally knowing where people are because you heard a fight and knowing exactly where every person is and where they're looking so you can take the most direct route with zero line of sight to them every time. Based on their description I assume they were talking about the latter.

I got the white test subject wraith skin like the second day after launch in a lootbox so thats the one I use the most. I would use bald wraith if I had it. Gladiator wraith and full machine wraith are also very cool skins.

Losing my poo poo at pubs today. If its not crypto's who aren't ever leaving their drones, its teammates who are straight up gifting squads their purple armour. Run directly at someone i've broken the armour on, get downed and ragequit do they get to loot the box from safety. Cheers mate. Really appreciate it, you loving prick.

Just played some Titanfall 2. It still owns and movement is still wonderful but multiplayer is just way too hard to have any real fun with these days even with the higher playercount. When you have people who are like prestige level 40+ and are boosting around the map at a trillion miles an hour it's just brutal.

The sentinel headshot sound is so satisfying. I had 2 spectators at the end when we won I like to think it was these guys who were very cross that I sniped them.

Also had this EXTREMELY clutch win today. Seriously outplayed the last 2 squads. You can see the last guys death box fall out in the distance

L-star: Put a 3x on it. You don't get blinded as much when firing it.

Havoc: Lol i don't loving know the new recoil turned it into a "gun i'd pick up" to "i might actually prefer a p2020 because i know i'll hit those shots". You only really use the single shot on it to meme, its very rarely useful. Maybe good if you don't have a gun to fight at the perfect range where you can see someone crossing a wide open space.

Pretty sure the l-star is bugged right now too. If you try to tap or burst fire it sometimes it will just start to overheat on its own without you even shooting it.

i think the single shot select fire is hit scan, so super long distance?

worse thing about energy weapons imo is the ammo count feels super low throughout the map

i’m usually a spitfire/eva double tap kinda person but i’m trying to experiment. i’m still bad at this game because my shooting play style is counterstrike.

i don’t bother sniping it’s not worth my time. and yeah that single shot just seems dumb as heck

I find having a long range weapon or a weapon you can just hold the trigger down on (spitfire) useful in one slot. My ideal loadout is something like that with an all arounder (301) or something really close range (shotgun,r99)
