I thought it was easy (XIM :haw:) but pistols are going to kill me. At least I got the first pistol's headshots done, so I have the easier(?) burst and auto pistols remaining.

victrix, did you sit at 55 for a while one prestige or something? Not sure how you're lower level than me with a higher score.

Nah, I kinda skipped out on the double xp weekends, the one I played a lot was double weapon xp :downs: Should be prestige master by end of this weekend or start of next week.

I'm down to the last few guns on Dark Matter too, so I'm going to have a glorious orgy of pubby harvesting when I'm not running around with asstacular setups. Though I will say the SVG is a goddamn beast. Got multiple double kills tonight, a few triples, a quad, three collaterals, several jump shots, etcetc. Dying with that weapon is 90% my fault, it's really consistent.

re audio: You need a mixamp and/or the Astro mixamp. Otherwise party is loving deafening. The new A40 TR Mixamp will do it for you, and it even has a convenient stream out port to capture all audio and send it to pc stream device. That thing is $130 on its own though, so you might want to look into a 'real' mixamp.

With PS4 audio set to non-party all the way, I still have the mixamp set to like 30-40% game away from party chat so it sounds reasonable, and even then there's usually one or two assholes that are still kinda loud. You can thank sony for packing in a piece of poo poo mic, so everyone has a hodgepodge of random quality mics that suck. The fact that the engine level party/game audio mix is garbage doesn't help, but good loving luck getting Sony to fix that.

Also I dunno what the gently caress was up tonight, but we were in some pretty drat sweaty lobbies. We also got our asses kicked by a party of non prestige players :stare: They were the usual mix of m8s/vespers &c, but they were aggressive good obj players in dom. Otherwise though, just a lot of tough matches. Lead to a few fun games and comebacks though.

... the fact that I was running sniper/pistol and manpoose was running Haymaker probably has something to do with our struggles now that I think about it :v:

It was pretty hilarious seeing him going from double-triple kill feeds the last few days with the Brecci to hearing him swear in party chat profusely every engagement with the Haymaker. In christmas noob lobbies he'd wreck, but the sweatier lobbies we were in... not so much vs Vespers.

It's not a Bad Gun, it's just not as good as it was. It used to have a 3sk, now it's 4. So it used to be Kuda at close range speed, now it's Weevil speed, which is ok, not great.

I get why they did it though, with high cal, it could be a 2 shot kill, now it's only fast-ish if you get the headshot, before it was crazy fast.

Probably still good dual wielded, but I think they nerfed that hipfire spread too.

It's more consistent for me than the RK5 at least :/

I have fun with the Pistols, and Knifing, but aside from unlock purposes, I can't see any reason you'd actually use them. The whole game for me is SMG/Haymaker/Sniper Rifles, the rest of the weapons if you're trying to win feel like they're just fluff.

I did dual pistol L-Car for the combat handling mastery card a few days ago and it's still quite good. Definitely hurt by the nerf but I was going 40+ kills with it and it was quite good at amassing head shots.

Better than the RK5 which is the worst of the three now. :(

That's what playing with goons is for. I can knife run and break even and know my goon crew will also do well so I can still amass those wins

i only really use it as an actual sidearm for when i can't reload and it still seems just as useful for that at least

I play with a few people who I have on mute 90% of the time because my A50's pick up alllll of their background noise and their gameplay. No one else seems to notice it so I guess its an issue with Astro's in general.

That's not a problem on your end, a lot of people don't play this game with a headset and their sensitive mics pick up everything.

Another (Sony) issue is that Mic volume is tied to Mic sensitivity, which is about the dumbest poo poo ever.

For people with lower quality mics, raising the volume enough so their party can hear them also lets us hear the cat/dog/baby in the other room.

I kinda get why they did it to keep things "simple" but when you combine in with the bad pack in mic...

And bo3's audio mix is pretty bad, so basically the audio situation is a poo poo show everywhere.
