its worth noting that spraying like that gives away your position

not only can they hear you are magdumping but they can also assume that you are likely laying prone in the corner because of the angle of tracers you're flooding the doorframe with

when camping you want to volunteer as little info to the peeker as possible unless you are doing some 420 IQ mindgames




e: also headshots are always instant kills in this game so you'll immediately know when your aim is true. there will be times where lag or hitbox fuckery seems to affect the outcome of a firefight but this isn't really one of those cases

How can you say that with my last volley of shots? He literally runs his face through my stream of bullets.

You're shooting the door frame as he runs past and he kills you as you swing right to adjust and try to hit him. It's pretty clear to me :shrug:

yeah the crosshair is literally ON the doorframe while leaning in a way that recoil would most likely kick it even further off target

Three hats and an outfit for maestro that sorta works with the outlaw hat from the cowboys event.

And then I got a lucky alpha pack and snagged a new hat for frost.

Their "story" blurbs are intentionally vague as well. Melusi sounds like another trap operator and Ace sounds like a hard breacher.

So anyway, looks like the new operators are - Melusi is a roamer with an area-of-control gadget, while Ace basically retires Hibana.

my amaru experience is:
50% dead on arrival because of the whole 'announces your arrival 30 seconds early by breaking the window' and 'cant move when landing' thing
30% frost mat or Cav right inside the window
15% nothing special, just run around and kill/die like usual
5% shitstomp an entire team with clicky shotguns

I live for that 5%

her loadout is cool af no matter what combo you use but the current delay makes her way too predictable when that grappling hook should have been helping her specialize in being the opposite
