Blisk so cool, after all the TF2 shenanigans, him trying to kill you across a planet, as soon as the writing is on the wall he says gently caress it and offers you a job. Top character.

The graffiti mod is in the abc mode, increases ammo and fire rate reload speed too!

The one I picked up was for Spitfires, don't know if it's only those or if they vary.

there is a small but unfortunately statistically significant portion of people who play fast-paced FPS games that have broken idiot brains and think that stationary flow-breaking mechanics like walls and gun turrets are good and fun, and game developers cater to them

assuming her skills align with what they appear to be, Rampart is going to be a horrendous piece of poo poo character that sucks the fun out of the game and will be either a meta-defining mistake or tuned down to being useless but annoying to deal with

Every Season Legend except Wattson (v. overpowered) and Loba (just right) has been extremely underwhelming and underpowered at launch, so I wouldn't worry too much.

On the other hand the idea of the turret and A-Wall with a Pylon protecting it is nightmarish.

My one complaint is that Blisk’s appearance added exactly what you could expect going in and absolutely nothing more.

It was good for giving us a clearer picture of her rough-and-tumble personality. And there were some pretty good moments, like seeing Gib and Bang in casual clothes and that Stalker dual-wielding Spitfires. Actually I do have a second complaint, they cut away from that shot too quick.

Also Big Sister has to be someone important (and I have a guess who). The studio that does this style of Story has a tendency to give the unimportant characters more personality than necessary, but come on. A name and a crazy mask on a character who’s role could have been fully covered by Tealhair McMachete?

Forgive me if I’m telling you something you already knew, but this isn’t the first time we’ve seen Old Man Kuben. He was in the original opening cinematic.

I wonder how many people have never seen this since Respawn replaced it with each current season’s launch trailer, and never put it up on the official channel.

I can think of a few niche uses, which tbh, is how most ults play out.

Spitfire getting a hop-up that restores it to its *-~former glory~-* makes me so happy, especially because the Spitfire is my main weapon anyway so this means I get to kick even MORE rear end with it :getin:

Just so everyone knows, you can change the paint color on the spitfire by using whatever key you use to change the fire mode on weapons.

It got a new “Graffiti” hop-up that increases the mag size and reload speed AND makes the bullets leave paint splatters.

They have not, as far as I’m aware, mentioned that it exists.

First time I was in a game with a cheater in my squad. Me and the other dude died pretty fast, cheater took our banner but never respawned us. It seems he was able to see enemies through obstacles and used a really natural looking aimbot. It never snapped around but he landed almost every bullet with his spitfire.

If his wallhack wasn't so obvious I would've say his aim was just very very good also because he moved around and used cover really well and easily won the game. Reported him ofc

Time passes quickly on the weekend.

With the purple mag and graffiti mod combined, the spitfire now has 63 bullets per magazine.

So many people expect you to stop firing before you have to.

On the plus side if everyone starts picking up spitfires and you like knife fighting, you're gonna win almost every duel.

Eh, it depends. I've beat people with Mastiffs at close range with the Spitty, you just bull rush them and hipfire and if they get a couple of 14s or w/e (as you do, with the Mastiff) you'll win. However if it's Scooty Shroud Jr and they hit big shots your rear end is deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeead

Well yeah, but that's more incompetence on their side than anything else. I'm talking more dps things, because being able to fire forever doesn't mean much if someone can magdump and then pop around the corner while they reload, ya know?

Yeah, you're basically relying on the other person being a fuckup for that to work. I loved the Spitfire pre-Season 1 but now it's in the same category as the Moz. I won't touch it unless there's no other option.

Its still definitely got its uses. You can completely lock down an approach with it and catch people out who don't quite know you're there, but yeah, its not an amazing gun right now. I like it though.

Hey look i did a thing it has a spitfire at the end. I think like three squads collapsed on us it was ridiculous. I need to increase my shadowplay length, first five kills i basically did solo but i didn't get them. Womp womp. I like the part where i was blind as gently caress and still melted a dude.
