people equipped double tap on scout?

Some folks couldn't get the hang of it, but I can't see myself using a g7 without double tap, so I'm good they made it easier to switch to the 30-30. It's a killer in close range and with decent hipfire, you can drop someone who gets the jump on you. Wonder how the 30² will be close range, especially compared to the hemi.

In the past 3 seasons' battlepasses, crypto has gotten a total of 2 quips, a banner (this one was cool but it was back in season 5), and a holospray. I think crypto has received a grand total of one skydive emote and one skin (that lovely robot one from season 4) in all the battlepasses, didn't see crypto once in the season 8 battlepass trailer either. At least Bangalore and Lifeline both got yet another legendary skin.

They sure do make it very easy to save your money if you play crypto, but I wish they would at least pretend he existed.

Try Bloodhound who, despite being a launch character, has had one free dive emote - the basic boring ones from Season 2, and then has had a Season 4 event purchaseable one and another event one that just happened.

That's the same number as Crypto, but Bloodhound has been in since day 1.

I had to buy the drat event one just so my poor bloodhound could do something other than just cross his arms on the drop.

double tap scout was garbage but i'll miss it on the eva8

I hated that because I would keep picking it up by accident and needing to click it off

The prognosis
is not good.


I still really like Rampart and setting up a good gatekeep is nasty as hell, especially with a Wattson on board.

I like the double tap because I'm bad at aiming and it can turn one good hit into two good hits.

The double tap is a land of contrasts.

My friend likes the double tap scout because he says it turned it into a shotgun hipfired up close.

how do they work?
Double tap scout owns at 3x range and closer. Any further you just flick it off. Was always funny getting the chest-head two tap with it and downing someone who though they could peek for "just a sec".

I completely mis-read the changes for the Spitfire. I read it as Respawn making it reload more quickly. :doh:

So it does more damage, but takes longer to reload. What a word we live in.

I wonder how significant the Alternator change will be?

It has SUCH a huge clip. The reload isn't so bad. It's just going to punish people who compulsively reload after every couple bullets.

As the guy on the team that gets made fun of for dropping R-99s for Alternators, I am very excited to do more damage with my favourite light gun.
I already thought it was a drat fine close range weapon this season, but the buff is niicceeeee.

If it can truly hold its own against the r99 and Volt I’ll be amazed.

I think it'll be great for those of us who can't aim/track and need larger clip sizes to compensate.

Alternator and r99 serve different purposes anyway. You want to fight a little further than with the r99 but the thing is laser accurate, so it has a place.

I dunno, I can shred with the Alternator at short range even without an extended mag. As soon as I get a white or blue it's end game quality. But medium range I find it unreliable, unlike the volt which I'm quite happy to use at medium range.
Personally I find the R99 unwieldy until I get a blue stock on it, then I can actually fire the thing without shooting the roof.
