According to the wiki it's non-lethal and superstrong but who knows if that site is actually accurate.

The way the patch notes make it sound, it's just super quiet.

EDIT: Definitely didn't expect Capitão to be 3 speed 1 armor though.

These new nicknames are lackluster. I suggest renicknaming the attacking operator as 'Smash', cementing his true nature as Smoke + Ash.

The BOPE operators' backstories makes no goddamn sense. But I think the worst bit is BOPE recruiting a CORE agent; should've at least added a bit about how he got kicked off the civilian police for being too brutal and then took another shot through the military police.

Sorry, just wanted to rant. I'm disappointed that one of the few times Brazil is represented like this, they get the easy stuff wrong. Ultimately it doesn't matter.

For reals. I'm tired of "spiral stairs" and "service stairs" meaning something completely different every match on Consulate.

But first unbuff Pulse.

From the Dust Line update:

quote:

Thermite swaps Frag Grenades for Stun Grenades

We are swapping Thermite’s Frag Grenades for Stun Grenades. There are two reasons behind this change. The first reason is that Thermite has a very important unique gadget, making him one of the most pivotal Operators in an attacking team. The second reason is to limit the number of concurrent Operators that can bring Frag Grenades on the field. To us, two Operators with frag grenades is more than enough for an attacking team, and more than two would make it a lot harder for the Defenders to protect their objective. This will make Thermite slightly less offensive, while giving him more utility.

And now:


So they take frags away from Thermite citing too many nades on attackers, then give them to the new DLC operator that costs 25k renown or the season pass?

Hard, between this and a lot of the DLC operators being insanely powerful (Blackbeard, Valkyrie (SPAS-12) and Frost for 3 months) do you see how this is a really bad look? I get you need to make them good and competitive but the Thermite situation just seems like an unnecessary nerf to incentivize season pass buying.

Thermite's kills went way down after the change primarily because while his gun is super hard hitting it's also slow as gently caress. DBNOing people is really common and having frags to just chuck it at them while they were down was a godsend.

Lemon-Lime
Aug 6, 2009
Thermite doesn't need frags.

The point about too many operators with frags is valid, though, and the solution is to reduce the number of carried frag grenades to one. Maybe give frags to someone else, too, that way the total number of frags the attackers can bring is still four.

Balancing while taking the future into account is almost impossible especially in a multiplayer game where the meta is constantly evolving.
Some changes that appeared relevant at the time might not be a few months later this is why different things are tried. That doesn't mean they are set in stone.
