2nd Professional Killer on Seaport, this time with the CR. :)

I think I'm going to take a leaf out of Switch's book and try meleeing for a while. Ninja time!

182 hp, 4 gear slots, katana in depot, shurikens, breach hammer, shock grenades, and throwing knives for style points.

I would use a bow for maximum medieval but I can't get it AND it would probably be awful.

Everything is better with a bow. Bow is perfect for melee since the bow melee stabs people with the arrows and you can headshot with it.

Only problem with stabbing people with your arrows is that if it doesn't kill them, it's stuck in them until they die and it pulls from your reserve, so have at least two arrows on hand for stab city. Don't want to stab somebody with your last arrow and just look silly!

I had a video of the bow and there is a section of like 5 or 6 kill in a row that are nothing but head stabbings. Go check it out!

What the hell are you talking about? A couple of us are playing now.

Also wow throwing knives have slow projectile speed. It's pretty awful considering it only does 200 damage. Breach hammer is much more effective as a melee weapon. Especially once you pull out the katana after getting enough money with it.

I just perm'd the TAR. Seems like a fun gun. There's no gun calculator right? I'd have to rent the parts in order to see the resulting stats if I'm looking at a build with more than 1 new part?

I went with Krane Power, Silverwood SW-09, Silverwood z1200, Silverwood combo scope, quick mags, and a health tag. 2.28 hipfire spread, 56 damage, 1.21 recoil which can somehow gently caress me up sometimes, and 7.74 run on a 180 armor build. Seems great so far.

I use the 2x IR, but my TAR is also set up to have reasonably good accuracy in hipfire and while moving

I've seen so many hacks floating around since parody. It makes me suspicious of anyone that consistently goes near 30 kills a round with only 1-5 deaths. Am I just being cynical?

A tiny bit. I can usually get 20+ kills without many deaths relatively easily. 30+ is a bit much though, but it is also heavily dependent on the map.

Most aimbotters seems to be superobivous at the moment as there's no competitive scene for the sneakytogglers to pollute.

It got removed. I hope it'll be polished a bit and then re-added soon though.

It's a little light on the damage so straight shoot outs can be difficult to win especially if you're not running heavy armor, but it's damned accurate. Thanks, btw!

I don't think the lower damage hurts it that much, because you pretty much always need two bursts. Having the extra accuracy helps you land those. I didn't feel like I was landing a lethal number of bullets that much slower than my 56 damage AK would

Yeah, so as I mentioned to Switch, I got my first Professional Killer with my new Go Fast BFR build earlier today on a KOTH build. It wasn't until I got to 15 kills when I looked a bit closer at the scoreboard and realized that my team wasn't utterly dominating because we were all so good, but it was because the other team lost its experienced half which disappeared when they started losing, and the remaining half were full of newbies who mostly didn't seem to know what they were really doing.

What the hell happened to Proving Ground servers? Those poor guys should have been there learning the ropes more before they got tossed to the sharks. That was the first achievement sort of thing in a video game that made me feel really drat dirty and left a bad taste in my mouth. :(

Poddus at least consistently gave me a run for my money, leaving me often at 2 or 52 health. The others seemed like they didn't really know what the HRV was...

I've been wrecked by this. I can't play anything now. Hell, sometimes Chrome or my start menu trips it up and crashes the video driver. The nvidia forums and answers.microsoft forums are flooded with complaints. I've tried everything and can't figure it out. I even changed the TDR settings through the registry and nothing. Today I'm going to memtest my card to be sure it's not the memory and might try underclocking the GPU but the errors all point to the driver freaking out then causing a kernel panic.
