I noticed last night after finishing everyone's normal challenges and then unlocking Reaper's hero parts that the hero challenges seemed either bugged or had false unlock information, so maybe you did what you were supposed to and the game kept track of it, but they fixed the requirements in the patch or something.

That's what I thought, but it didn't unlock transmission 9 on the back of the cards for those guys. My lore!

I have no idea what I am doing in almost any given situation.
I didn't realise how much I was enjoying this game until the glacial update speed on PS4 meant I couldn't play it when I wanted to.

Denying me my shootymans is making me unexpectedly grumpy.

Is it? I did the 'get 50 kills without any attachments'-camo challenge for the KN44 last night, and I noticed that it's a good gun anyway. Doesn't really need quickdraw or grip. High caliber does make it better, but other than that I didn't really notice much difference. I even thought about throwing rapid fire on there, but I have no idea if that'd make any difference. Where did you find that data anyway?

I'm using my next unlock on ghost because if you've got trophies or anyone else on your team running them flak jacket seems redundant

I mean I know it helps with scorestreaks and war machines and all that but it still seems a little pointless if explosives get knocked by trophy.

also, if you have trophy and you or someone else drops a turret put one next to it. they'll cut out some of the rockets and emps

"Position your Wraith so it defends an objective from 2 or more attackers"

This challenge is the worst. Any competent team actually playing the objective will shoot down the wraith ASAP. Terrible pubbies that won't shoot it down also won't go near the objective.

I got that on Nuketown just calling the Wraith into the center of the map and having it shoot into the spawn. i suppose you just have to pray that the enemy team won't shoot it down :v:

I got that on my first ever wraith, which coincidentally was from a care package, not a legit call in. Just wait until the pubbies inevitably start the infinite loop of Combine voting and it's pretty much a lock. Even the trashiest pubbies go for B on Combine, and as the level is so small and has a few hiding places the wraith will usually focus murder around B.

Man, I got all drunk and then all "on the phone" last night and missed all these new changes. Glad you can get rid of dupes, I have loads of those. Just need to get through work and then I can shoot motherfuckers with a gun on a video game and sing "Kudacabana" as I do it.

I really do sing that. poo poo, it's in my head again nooooo.

The game doesn't tell you this, but if you burn a permanent unlock on Primary Gunfighter III, because it's the last wildcard to unlock and you could do with an extra attachment slot, you can't use it until you have Primary Gunfighter II unlocked :downs:

It was in this thread a few pages ago. I use stock, suppressor, and grip. Grip is a little superfluous but I would still rather use it.

Suppressed KN44 is a 4hk. Unsuppressed HVK30 is a 4hk. So why not.

KN is 3 shots up close, and the suppressor hits it slightly less than other ARs. The important point is it keeps the 3sk up close where you're likely to run into subs. And it remains 4sk out to a longer-than-this-would-probably-be-lovely-for-its-recoil distance anyway.

High cal lets you get bullshit 2 shot kills occasionally, ymmv.

I think it's my second highest k/d sub :shobon:

Suppress it, flank endlessly. It loses head on sub fights, so don't get in them. It's superbly accurate, meaning landing 5 shots on a distant target is actually remarkably easy, and at close-mid it's still 4, so it still has its optimal (bad) ttk. I'll take (and get) shots on targets I wouldn't touch with other subs.

It's basically a sub version of the ICR with marginally higher rof, but I vastly prefer it, handling matters I guess.

Think of it as a cut-down mobile AR and it'll treat you right. I think only the Pharo really has a chance of beating it at the right distance.

Hmm... I should make a set of mid-range ttk charts that count the second tier of sub damage vs ARs and see how that looks.

Meh. Later. Tonight I just want to shoot dudes, work on hero armor, and get closer to dark matter.

This is the first CoD where I prefer SMGs over the ARs. High Caliber is the only thing that lets rifles keep up.

What happened was the patch also changed some challenges around, and it swapped the ability challenges to the head and weapon challenges to the body. This unlocked the heads for me, and since I already had all the bodies equipped it didn't remove them.


Also, yes you should swap grip for high caliber. It's probably the worst attachment since it has such a small effect.
