As soon as I'm done with Dark Matter, I want to do a week of just running 6 perks, scavenger, and grabbing random pubby guns. Pubbies loooooooooooove stacking lots of attachments, so if I get mildly lucky, I should end up with 13-16+ points worth of loadout :haw: Hmm. Or maybe five perks and two flashbangs. Flashbangs are incredibly, incredibly obnoxious.

Downside: Pubbies think FMJ increases damage.

I'm contemplating doing a big rework of the ttk stuff I posted earlier, I'd like to add in rapid fire, high caliber, and range bands.

That would help answer the question of 'is rapid fire worth it on gun X' and 'just how busted is high caliber' and 'what am I actually sacrificing by silencing my weapon at most distances'.

I'll take a look and see how annoying it'd be to put together. Might not be too bad, depends on how much data gathering I need to do.

Holy poo poo copying the scavenger idea.

I have no interest in dark matter but until I've got my 3 specialists I like all royal wasp kitted, I will always have overclock being used. I've only been running it three days and it seems like a lifetime ago that I actually used ghost and sixth sense.

Yes I use sixth sense AND awareness.

So apparently you get kicked out when you team kill pubbies in HC KC after they consistently steal your kill tags as you're running toward them. Who knew?

I totally agree if it's a longer range kill. But if I'm clearly running right toward them, I think it's lovely to steal someone's tags from them. Meh. Moot point. I'll just start doing it to them now.

Edit: and to be clear, I'm talking they slide right in front of you to get the as you're sprinting toward them.

E: Clearly your double digit captures and defends aren't enough, Bubba. Selfish player, not thinking of the team etc.

I usually focus on defending so I'll stand off the site and keep it clear, rush B immediately at the start of a round, all that. Then the second game I was all "ok let's capture some stuff". Didn't matter. All is darkness.

Here's a bad question. On PC, how do you choose a different scorestreak when you have multiple available?

Nope, but it's pretty sweet for a non-animated camo. Also re: the Weevil, it's not a great gun to take people on head to head, but running Quickdraw/Silencer/Fast Mags and using Awareness made me feel MLG. You still don't want to find someone running at you with the Vesper/VMP/Pharo, but you can mow down an entire team without them knowing where you are.

Also, I think the Weevil has the best Fast Mags reload animation in the game. (Maybe that's just Stockholm Syndrome for my Diamond Weevil...)

If I had a nickel for every time I've watched a pubby full-on sprint toward tags (regardless of friendly or enemy) only to veer around them at the last moment I could pay for the DLC at full price.

Good changes.

I'm very weirded out seeing Treyarch make consistently good weapon tuning decisions. They've done quite the turnaround from their previous weapon balancing.

Need to test the XR-2, see if the tweak helped with its consistency at all.

I don't think idle sway reductions will help the BRM/Dingo for me, but hey, free Gorgon/Dredge buff.

Reduced idle sway on Sheiva and Locus is just gravy, on the ICR, it could be cool with High Cal. You really really really really really need to hit the (high cal) headshots with the ICR or it is a Bad Gun with awful ttk. On the other hand someone killed me with it from grammas to the back window of the barn yesterday while I was using a Locus, so what do I know.

KRM needed the buff, no idea why the Argus got one but ok? Maybe a hipfire thing.

SMG sprintout reduction is... odd. Not sure what the motivation is there. Maybe help protect them against burst deaths or high cal hipfires?

Also they said 'collision tuning'. Maybe slightly less mangrinding at the start of rounds?

Because it charges hilariously fast and only lost a tiny bit of energy when you died :P It still charges hilariously fast and you still retain some energy. It's by far the quickest offensive specialist weapon in the game.
