What does this even mean? My cool helmet disappeared, and now my 2x EXP is gone (which I knew was timed) :(

As somebody who's around level 30 and prestige 1, I think I figured this out. The guy above described the different timed items that can appear in your armory pretty well.

The time-limited armor pieces don't come from these - they come from some sort of action in the game. The bloodthirsty helmet comes after you kill five without dying, and you get the helmet for 30 minutes. Ditto the Baron helmet - you get a dog fight medal (killing an opponent who has boosted into the air while you too are boosted in the air) and access to the Baron helmet for 30 minutes.

The time-gated supply drop and experience bonuses, as far as I can tell, are active on your account the instant you get them from a supply drop. When you use up all the time - 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes and 45 minutes are the ones I've seen - you get an alert saying they've expired. These, otherwise, never show up anywhere in the game (in your armory, on your HUD, etc.). They only appear as an icon in the lobby room while they're active.

Worth noting is that, as far as I know, there are NO weapons that are time-gated. Anything you unlock, you keep.

The nice thing about the dubstep shotgun is with the current state of the game, I don't have the frustration of firing 10+ rounds at someone and having them kill me. The enemy either dies in one shot, or I die.

So I prestiged finally, and all things considered the game is good. Don't know how much staying power it will have though because it is not balanced at all. That being said, if anyone is interested in some serious sperg, I am feeling autistic and was thinking about writing up the most broken classes you can create.

Raioner posted:

gently caress it, that's all the convincing I need!

So because of the new mechnanics this game is basically still a run and gun nightmare. As such I recommend three run and gun builds: tac knife, shotgun, and SAC3 (future vectors). I will start with the most powerful and work my way down.

SAC3 Run n Gun, thanks to the goon above who made me aware, I didn't even realize these guns were akimbo by default. Run around at full speed, using overclock when appropriate, hold down both mouse buttons and win games. Scavenger means you never run out of ammo. This is my highest scoring class.

Primary
SAC3 w/ Rapid Fire, Extended mags, lasersight/advanced rifling. The third attachment could be the laser sight or advanced rifling. I never unlocked advanced rifling but if its like the attachment is elsewhere the extended range might help you pick up kills but hte range is already a monster on these things. Also the laser sight is helpful but it is not necessary as it barely increases hipfire accuracy, for some reason this gun starts incredibly strong in the hip fire department.

Secondary
none. You don't need it.

Perks and Exo

Perk 1:
Lightweight
Overcharged

Perk 2:
Gung-ho
Fasthands

Perk 3:
scavenger

Exo ability:
Overclock


Shotgun Run n Gun - Plays incredibly similar to the SAC3 build, the main difference being a secondary to finish off people if you don't kill them with the incredibly quickly depleting clip. If the bulldog has extended mags it would do well here, I never unlocked it though. Build is effective because the bulldog can easily OHK but its range does fall of very very fast. Note: The reason you don't want gung ho on this build is because the bulldog with laser sight has a really tight spread suprisingly but when sprinting with gung ho the spread becomes the entire screen and it is lovely, so its always better to fire this weapon when running but not sprinting. Remember the bulldog seems to have virtually no cap to its firerate so you can basically dump all six shots into somebody in an instant, making it insanely strong at close range.

Primary
Bulldog w/ laser sight

Secondaru
Any of the handguns except the rail gun. I prefer the PDW as this gun should only be used to picking off people who you hit with the bulldog but didn't kill (too far away, missed shots, low ammo etc).

Perks and Exo
Perk 1:
Lightweight
Overcharged

Perk 2:
Fast Hands

Perk 3:
Scavenger

Exo Ability:
Overclock


Tac Knife - This is my favorite build to play. Its not as effective and requires you to have amazing aim but it honestly is really strong and a ton of fun. The tac knife attachment makes melee feel much more like mw2, than Advanced Warfare, its not as crazy but it is much easier to connect with a much shorter cooldown between swings. Bob and weave and keep your eyes on the minimap, enemy location is the most important in this one because it requires you to be extra sneaky/flanky. The railgun is a one hit kill to the upper body up to a close-medium range. If you throw advanced rifling onto the gun that OHK range almost doubles. It requires serious aiming skills though because its one shot or nothing.

Primary
None

Secondary
RW1, portable railgun w/ advanced rifling and Tac Knife

Perks and Exo

Perk 1:
Lightweight
Overcharged

Perk 2:
Peripherals

Perk 3:
Blast Suppressor

Exo abilities:
Overclock
Additional Optional: Mute Device


So those are the best run and gun weapons. They are incredibly strong if you have good map knowledge. They fail where you run in a straight line at people. AR's are still a beast in this game and can easily cut you down before you get close enough.

I have two other main classes that I like to play but I am not sure how strong I would consider them. I can add them if anyone wants them, its the assault rifle class, and the laser class, its still easy to top a scoreboard with these but requires a bit more finesse. I left room in these builds for killstreaks if you need them.

No not really, but the TTK is so low already, that swapping weapons in a fight is normally a death sentence anyway and there are only a few instances where its a decent idea, and the extra slot points you get from it can be incredibly beneficial to grabbing another perk.

Don't use explosives, they are only decent in domination and even there kinda suck.

edit: Unless it does and I'm not aware, you do move super loving fast with the tac knife build.
