i decided i wanted to get good at the havoc and l-star so any hot tips? what is the purpose of the single shot havoc and why can I not asmd combo 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

Honestly I've been having less fun and playing less this season. The lowered TTK I feel really impacts how you can approach engagements, and is especially punishing for aggressive players. One of many modifications this season in favour of """tactical gameplay""" (e.g. hiding in a corner).

Yeah, i’m feeling similar. This has always been my complaint about lower/faster TTK games, they feel great when you’re stomping but TERRIBLE when you’re getting destroyed: you don’t feel like you can fight back or maybe out shoot someone when you die super fast. -25 hp isn’t COD/BF-level fast, but...

As annoying as it was to have someone scamper away with a pinch of HP, it felt better to barely sneak around a corner and avoid death for a little longer. Maybe heal up and re-approach.

Obviously positioning is more and more important.

I played a gently caress ton last season but will prob only manage half as much this time. But I feel super spoiled by the movement and gunplay in this game, and as much as I wanna get into Destiny 2, I can’t without advanced look controls :(

Newbie help post incoming:

I started playing because a friend of mine likes to play with people he knows and his regular teammates have basically quit. I don't really play FPS games at all, and I'm pretty terrible at this one as a result -- if I get a kill per game and/or deal over 100 damage, it's an achievement.

I'm a bit overwhelmed with the weapon types, accessories, etc. I can't keep track of which is which, generally. Is there any certain type of weapon I should be on the lookout for, or avoid? For example, I've found that I did fairly well with the Alternator a few times, so I try to look for that one, but maybe there's better options I should prioritize.

Edit: I should add I generally have been playing as Bangalore, for no real reason. I also played as Lifeline a fair amount just for the sake of being able to help my friend a bit more as support.

the game feels overwhelming when you first pick it up but you’ll get the hang of it. all the guns are distinctive enough and good enough to run, honestly, almost all weapons are viable. i do like the alternator.

just read the tool tips and eventually you’ll grok it all.

i know for a while i kept getting hammerpoints and skullpiecer hop ups confused with each other.

that’s the joke, which i assume is due to their lifeline constantly loving it up (i didn’t watch)

I am not surprised they suck, lots of people suck and that's ok. What I'm surprised at is how this game supposedly has SBMM but puts me in a casual game with two bad players and the champ squad is a very hardcore 3-stack all with badges I'm nowhere close to earning. Or when I group up with Diamond level players and get put in a game where every other squad, seemingly, has a Mr. Beam in it (as in, you're gonna get beam'd by some pretty great shots). It just doesn't seem to work, I'm always either vastly too good or way too bad.


Confession: I actually do just leave those games. I'm not a dick or anything, I throw my poo poo on the ground, ping it, and leave. Enjoy playing Apex: Stealth Action edition, I'm not interested.

i mean, if 90% of players suck, is there even a proper skill spread on the demographics to fully fill out SBMM properly?

had a match with two randos where i fell into the loving lava canyon in fragment west and couldn’t get out before i died, and they rezzed me in sorting factory and we won the game standing in the final ring we had scanned near the lava pools.

god bless that bangalore and bloodhound for carrying my corpse to victory (i nabbed a red evo and re45 outta a box and contributed 800 damage)

when the game is good it’s great

i genuinely think i play worse when i have a bloodhound on my team. I rely too much on the scans and stop trying to predict movement through footsteps to whatever.

horizon is amazing. her passive alone is so smooth, and having what is essentially a jump pad without double jump every, what, 8 seconds? is crazy.

There's an 'inspect weapon' button to look at your cool weapon skin.

There's also a trick you can do with it where you can move slightly quickly but without tucking your gun away like when you sprint regularly? I dunno, I unbound it

would love to add some goons on ps4 (or xbox!) to play with when my two friends aren’t available or whatever. i’m okay/average at the game, if i don’t get rinsed in the first 30 seconds i usually get 3-4 kills at least. my last season KD was 0.90 which is.... an improvement from season 5 lol

Nope, I play this game wayyyyyy too much and always hot drop. Like I said my average damage per game is 700 or 800

But I also always solo queue and seem to get matched with absolute morons wayyyyyy too often :(

I send game invites to goons constantly but nobody ever joins my games. Someone named Zia posted a couple weeks ago looking for teammates and I thought it'd be nice to play with another girl but they never accept either :(

I have absolutely literally never had a fellow girl teammate.

I have to confess.

I have been playing since season 3 (or whenever Crypto came about) and it was all World's End and I....have no idea what the gently caress any of the locals are named. On any map. Ever. I vaguely am aware where the vaults are but otherwise it's Elsa's Ice Castle and the Train Station and the Funnel Tower By The Train Station. King's Canyon has Agrabah and Shrek's Swamp and Olympus is pretty much all Pretty Space Future Town.

no, no no, You go the Dab Rig on KC, the Long Schlong of the Sorting Factory on WE, and South and North Mcdonalds on the east side of Olympus
