Also the undocumented SMG-11 recoil increase is bullshit. (also all the operators move like molasses now)

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
Real newbie question here but what's a good way to deal with guys using riot shields? I haven't even touched the multiplayer yet because I'm trying to go through the situations and get some practice before going online and being a liability. I'm on 9, Improvise Defense, and I'm a little stuck and frustrated. The op is the person with the trip wire/laser explosives to trap doors, and there's barbed wire in my grenade slot. The last two enemies use riot shields, and I can't seem to break their defense before they kill me. If I had a frag I think it'd be a cinch, but I don't, and I don't think the bobby-traps get refilled when I resupply so I'm out by the time they show up (I know I could save one, haven't tried it again with that in mind. Even getting to the last wave is an uphill battle for me).

I know that I could probably bash my head against the stage a couple more times and figure something out, but I spent over an hour last night doing the No Intel mission before finding something that worked. I've only tried Improvise Defense a few times but if there's something simple like "Barbed wire makes people lower their shields" I think that'd be really helpful. Otherwise I'll have to fall back on the tried and true "git gud' strategy.

Also, is putting a trip wire on a door with a barrier effective? I've tried that a few times but I feel (in my gut) that when the barriers are breached the explosive goes off with it, wasting it without damaging the enemy.

Bracing charges will blow the traps up, so wait until after the bots have destroyed the barricades.

Use C4 charges like grenades to get the shields. If that doesn't work then close the distance while firing to force them to hide behind the shield and melee when you're close.

During situations and terrorist hunt be sure to stock back up on ammo when you can so that you always have full amounts of C4.

You're so cute i want to eat you raw.


eAI besides being aimbotting piece of shits are predictable. The room with the hostage has corridors all around it. Can't manage to hit the foot/arm sticking out of the shield? Flank them. Melee also works as it will ''shield break''' them for a valuable second. Just enough to melee or shoot them.
eAi are not trained to see the huge fuckoff screw and will only use breach charges on walls/reinforcements. They will bash any door barricade and won't see/shoot Kapkan's ® Entry Denial Device™ unless theres nothing hiding it.

Does my guy have C4? I think it's just the barbed wire, unless I'm missing a swap button or something. C4 would be mighty handy but I think it would undermine the lesson of the situation.

i had an 'argument' with one of the guys i play ranked with about blackbeards shield being impenetrable, who didn't believe me when i said you could break it.

'okay, just go prone and shoot at my head'

like a clip of ak ammo later: -100 team kill

classic.

also, somehow i cluster charged the hostage (in master bedroom) even though i deployed it in the bathroom? had no idea how that happened.

what are people's strategies for defense? my usual group usually spreads out, which is fine on defusal I guess but it gets tiring being literally the only person watching the objective and finding myself in lopsided 3v1s because my dipshit teammates all want to 'roam' and ignore the fact you only need like ten seconds to get a hostage rescue. what could i be doing differently? anything?

DuoGodOfDeath
Feb 20, 2007
I usually roam to the opposite side of where the objective will be hoping an attacker will think hes save being so far away. Tend to get a lot of sneak attacks on people that way.Also sit on cams waiting to see where they're also attacking from and try to hit them from behind. But being stuck on the SEA servers its pretty hard to communicate with Japanese/Chinese/Korean players. Yesterday was pretty bad trying to carry bad teammates going 17-5-6 while the rest of the team combines 3 kills.

Two roamers spread out and stay out until like two minutes pass, or if we've some how lost the attackers. Then you slowly work your way back.

Dead weight, just like this post.



Is anybody else seeing an increase in the amount of teams that will injure the hostage at the beginning of the round and then revive him to "insure" that if he gets shot by the attackers that they will instantly lose the round? It's been like every hostage round i've played now.


Is there actually merit to this strategy? I've read around that the hostage actually has health like a 3 armor protection but it certainly doesn't feel like it at times when i've seen him get clipped accidentally and die instantly.

it certainly feels like the hostage has considerably less health than even a 1 armor operator so

Notable:

Sledge destroys both layers of a floor when using breaching hammer

All operators move slower

Nitro cells and grenades fly faster

Operators lose their rook armor after you are put in a DBNO state and then revived.

IQ cannot see the outline of pulse's cardiac sensor in the way she sees the outline of other gadgets, so IQ is now a counter to Pulse? https://gfycat.com/TediousQuarterlyCrayfish

After playing all that overwatch beta this was real tough to get back into, not because of a quality difference, it's just everyone feels like they're moving so slow.

The new operators seem cool, I'm not crazy about all of the balance changes though. Mainly Thermite losing frag grenades bums me out, since he was the only attacker I played that had them. I think a nice change would be if they gave IQ smoke grenades. Seeing as she can see through smoke with her scanner, it'd be a nice option for her.

Can't get people to understand that IQ is now really important for taking out Valk cameras. I think people were so used to her primaries being the most useful thing that they forget she has the scanner. It's starting to genuinely piss me off when IQ players yell "WHAT'S SPOTTING ME? WHO'S VALKYRIE? SHUT UP I'M BEING SPOTTED AND I DON'T KNOW FROM WHERE" and I'm not the kind of guy to get mad at multiplayer games.

I have like 50gig free on my ssd where uplay itself is installed to, and at least a terabyte on the hard drive that Siege is installed to.

I'm in australia if that means anything as one guy in that thread thinks it might be the aus/nz servers being down.

Sorry to hear that,
This is a bit out of my element so i forwarded the thread to internal uplay support. That might save the back and forth with CS asking you if your internet cable is properly plugged in.

In the meantime you could try the last reply as we had something similar happen and reinstalling uplay did the trick. You can also click on verify files under the game's properties in R6's uplay tab.
