Repeater is pretty underwhelming, I'll still way rather go with r99+scout so they share an ammo type (STAB bonus)

Actually, Repeater with golden mag, wingman offhand, is an ideal combo. Not sure if it's a bug or intended, but the golden mag reloads the Repeater from empty to max after 6 seconds, which I think is faster than it takes to normally reload.

Crypto is useless because of the massive DRONE DETECTED SOMEONE IS BEING SNEAKY alert message. Same with Bloodhound but at least they aren't totally deactivated and vulnerable while doing their scan.

Why isn't the drone controlled like mirage's decoy where you can stay in your perspective but toggle controlling the drone? And of course, get rid of the alert message. Imagine if mirage was like DECOY DETECTED whenever you used his skill.

is that the only way to friendly fire in the game?

Pretty sure it is, which is surprising. Maybe it would be overpowered to lock down an area and then have your team run through it though. That would seem to point to a balance issue with the ability to begin with.

It's very, very easy to tell when a non-Australian tries to do one of our accents so I was sure Fuse's VA was actually Australian the first time I heard him, even if he was turning it up a bit. I also would be astounded if they didn't let him ad-lib some of those lines as I can't imagine anyone who isn't very familiar with Australian-isms could have come up with some of them (like "That's a prezzie for Fuzie").

I'm pretty sure I heard him say 'How's the serenity?' on a drop once but when I went back and checked his emote wheel I couldn't see that line.

He definitely does say that, I just heard it. It's not an emote, it plays when you drop from the ship as jump master.

I can tell that spitfire is OP because I can just hold down left click for a while and won't run out of ammo until everything is dead. But it's fun to have more ammo and not reload every 2 seconds, so they should fix the situation by making SMGs and rifles start with 25 rounds. While having the same DPS as LMGs but different projectile and reloading characteristics.

Sound has always been buggy in this game, you're probably noticing it more since people are abusing a very specific playstyle of Horizon tactical dropping onto you which doesn't seem to play the sound and/or bug footstep audio.

Then just swap to your 2nd spitfire when your mag goes dry.

I played double gold mag spitfire twice yesterday, lol. It is kind of fun because you don't even need to empty the first mag before you switch to the second one, you just switch any time you would normally reload.

Since I main Loba the way I've been playing is dropping next to an explosive hold, lifting the 2 gold mags with my first ult and basing my kit around that.

In fact there is a spot you can drop in the new zone that has black market access to two explosive holds at once, so if you stand there you can load up your whole team on gold mags.

After initially only using the Anvil receiver on the flatline, ive had some wins using the 301 with the Anvil and its so drat good. Running spitfire/Anvil 301 loving owns

The anvil receiver on 301 is basically a scout that you can also turn full auto, saving the other weapon slot for a shotgun or other close range weapon

Simone Magus posted:

I like it just fine but it really is the most demanding gun. They should remove the barrel mod slot because no other snipers have it and it feels unnecessary for a single shot sniper rifle, just get rid of the muzzle rise or drift or whatever barrel mods actually do (I honestly can't tell the difference usually)

It's also a bit difficult to get used to because it has a higher rate of fire than it "feels like" it should. It honestly works best for me at mid range, contrary to its name

Agreed about mid-range since it also has a slow, heavy projectile. It's more like a beefier version of the Scout and Repeater. One unfortunate difference is that Longbow uses sniper ammo which means you need to carry a stack of that, where if you carry Scout and Repeater along with your R99 or Spitfire then you can get away with holding only one kind of ammo. (so there is something wrong with longbow)

I lost a very winnable game last night when it was just my squad and the enemy squad, and a ring flare opened between us and the enemy squad. Unfortunately it trapped us on the side that couldn't get to the next ring, and them on the side that could. We lost because of a coin flip. Between this, the bad writing on Maggie's voice lines (the actress does a fine job, but the lines themselves are mostly bad or really repetitive), the awful audio bugs, and the fact that I'm frequently being put in very competitive lobbies with fresh-faced Switch players as my teammates - yeah. This is rough.

You weren't carrying enough heat shields

Yeah, I didn't notice the takeover had changed over to this new one, and evidently neither did our flightmaster that game who landed us directly into the middle of the mega flare.

Not sure how I like this one, but I've only gotten to the final ring once since it started up. Pubbies seem just as eager to embrace a late game flare as they are a late game ring however. Using Heat Shields hasn't seemed to have penetrated the collective consciousness either.

The heat shields are the name of the game right now not only to survive environmental damage but because they speed up healing while you're inside of them, almost like a Gibby shield. So you can drop them in a covered area and quickly heal your whole team up if you find yourself down shots in a fight.

In one of my pubs we've chained heat shields to make it to a replicator outside of the ring to make purple backpacks, that was sweet.
