I ledge slide off of loving everything but what is a YY slide? Just hitting YY during a slide? Never tried that.

Not just ledge slide, but slide off a ledge and hit and hold jump at just the right time. Do it right and you slide in mid-air with the full boost momentum of your jump added, going horizontal. It's insanely fast.

YY slide is just slide and double tap weapon switch. It cancels the sprint-out delay from the slide, you go immediately from sliding to sprinting, no pause.

With afterburner you can basically YY slide around the entire map at full speed, its pretty nuts.

Sweet. Is there a timing component to when you hit YY during the slide?

Not really, it's incredibly lax. The ledge sliding requires some practice, but there's basically no penalty for failure, so just mess with it any time you're on a ledge/tall thing.

For the Y slide you can just double tap triangle as soon as you start the slide. For whatever reason the weapon switch animation cancels out the slow stall at the end of a slide you normally experience, so as long as you did the switch, you go right back into a sprint.

Y sliding (particularly with afterburner) will let you blitz some routes early that you used to be able to do with the G slide (these names are so dumb).

Like you can get onto B on Breach and be lined up for those sweet sweet capture kills as pubbies round the bend. Or the one Javes and I jockey for every round, the rush to the fences from A spawn on Fringe to kill 3/4 of their team at the C bend.

Brecci, Fast Mags, Rapid Fire, 2xFlashbang, Scavenger, Gung-Ho, Afterburner

That's the core, you can tinker with it from there, you have two points to spare, grabbing a lethal to abuse with Scav isn't a bad idea, C4 is always fun, or you can squeeze in a fourth perk. Long Barrel/ExMags aren't bad either, though I find Fast works fine for the number of people the Brecci can kill on one standard mag.

e: Master your YY slides and ledge slides - the speed you gain is pretty crazy.

Well poo poo. One point shy of an engineer load out. Ah well, wasn't really using it much anyways.

I don't have the money for The Division so that's gotta wait until I do. Also I've been wrapped up in Torchlight 2 with irl friend so that's why I've been away from CoD. Not upset because torchlight 2 rules and is a better game than cod.

Increase your speed by tapping ads after your YY to cut out the slightly slower end of slide part to get to your next full slide speed

Yup. Ripper owns. Charges really fast, can destroy 3-4 guys in seconds, has a nice range and can it saved me on more than one occasion. Just reflexively hitting R1 and L1 and bam, shotgun dude who was in my face is now dead. It's also cool when they try to leap over you and you hit them in mid-air.

I've gotten that a handful of times. I think it means you're in some sort of pre-selected lobby where they're stealth editing settings, but I have absolutely no confirmation of that.

So there's a new undocumented recoil mechanic. TLDR, fighting recoil is harder than previous CODs, going in the direction of recoil makes it worse. So from the sound of it tracking upwards movement may make your recoil worse, which might explain why hopping around is successful. Also it's slightly bugged :v:

I got an ultra kill last night on Fringe. Apparently it's a dark ops challenge for 8 rapid kills. Interestingly enough, it did not award the 6 and 7 kill versions (I already had the one for frenzy). Also I *just* missed the 9th kill, which apparently is another dark ops challenge.

It does seem like a complete loving joke. I would rather gamble at the chance from weapon skins vs new weapons instead of that bullcrap.

So it's not entirely clear to me on how this works, but it seems to suggest you have a higher chance at a legendary pull than the rare crates. Is that in addition to the guaranteed barbie outfit?
