Yup wingman ain't what it used to be. The hipfire spread is garbage but crouching aka sliding tightens it up a lot - slide for close range and ironsight for longer ranges, amp it for one shot kills and it's pretty dang serviceable.

I started to say it boils down to bein dumb cause why would you take a pistol when you could do CAR or whatever plus a real anti titan weapon and be better off. Messed around and I'm not 100% sold on the idea though. Lookin at the weapon spreadsheet and trying it out in a private match, the DPS between grenadier and anti-titan weapons is comparable. MGL does more damage but Softball has more range. SMR does more damage but Archer is safer. Thunderbolt does more damage (I think?) but EPG can spam more. Also there's the deal of the primaries having unlimited ammo and generally being better against pilots. So I dunno, maybe it is fine to mix it up like that and supplement with amped weapons for wingman 1 shots or a smart pistol. Overall it's still like TF1 that some loadouts just seem flat out better at handling a bunch of stuff but with the ability, grenade, etc. options you can make things work.

It's way bettah. I got bored in the BF1 beta real quick but havin a blast here. Always was less CS and more Quake, idc about crouching around near cover with an AK lemme fly around with scifi bullshit.

Never touch the ground and don't stay in one place to shoot for too long or you will get flanked. The starting guns are pretty good, lots of people still use the R201, and the game is way more fun if you play with friends.

Also the single player really does prepare you for the movement style and titan combat.

I was so confident that bf1 was gonna be my new regular FPS that I got the premium pass, but all I ever play is tf2.

bf1 is great and will get better with more patches I'm sure, tf2 is super fun right now.

I swore by the volt until I unlocked the R-97, the instant bullet travel time and hilarious rate of fire make it great for running and gunning. When you sweep it over a target you're guaranteed a hit or two where the slower rof guns might miss completely, so while on average it should be the same in reality it feels a lot more reliable. It loses some of the super long range hip fire accuracy, but that isn't really the reason I run with SMGs.

The Volt is also hitscan, despite looking like it isn't, which is baffling because if it were projectile-based it would at least have one weakness.

Looking at it now, it really is disgusting. The flesh is transparent. From the start, I had no idea if it would even make a clapping sound. So I diligently reproduced everything about human hands, the bones, joints, and muscles, and then made them slap each other pretty hard.

Stay as mobile as possible. Chaining slides and wallruns will help you increase your speed (you actually accelerate while wallrunning). Play the campaign because it's great. The starting assault rifle is totally fine, but you might have better success with SMGs (the Alternator is my fave, although they're all pretty decent). Tone is probably the strongest Titan at the moment, but you can do well with any of them. Unlike a lot of other shooters, you want to be gunning from the hip 90% of the time - you really don't lose much accuracy, and slowing down to aim down the sights usually will just get you killed.

Oh, and if you're on PC, Bounty Hunt and Attrition are the only two modes you're going to have much luck finding games for.

Indeed, the only guns that have travel time are the Kraber and Double-Take in the Sniper category, and Mastiff and Mozanbique as a shotgun and pistol.
Every other non-grenadier gun is hitscan.

So, like... if I'm running around with a Grenadier weapon that isn't the SMR which I can use like it's an assault rifle, is there any reason not to run around with the Mozambique as secondary?

I tried to jump the gun and pick up the level 45 Grenadier weapon that shoots four grenades at once but using it feels impossible.

I'm diggin the pistols more for backup with the grenadier weapons. It sucks when you see a pilot above you with some distance facing another direction and you have no hitscan guns.

Phase shift is neat

I was dreading the hell out of this fight on my Master playthrough because of everyone complaining about it

Ended up dying once and finishing it on my second try. What I did was use Ion to laser snipe him then when he did his missile barrage switch to Ronin and dash while holding block (I had planned on Phase Shifting but since I kept using laser shot on cooldown PS was always on cooldown too).

Its weakness is that it's too fukkin' accurate in hip-fire so I keep dying because my aim is garbage whereas with the CAR, Alternator and R-201 the hip-fire spread helps me actually get hits :downs:

I'm giving the R-97 and Volt a second chance after the gushing even though i didn't like them initially and also my Devotion is already G3.4 which is kinda embarrassing.

Anyone know what counts as kills for the Pro Screen? There's a discrepancy between the Pro Screen and camo unlock bar

The L-Star is not hitscan, which is part of why it's so bad.

The Volt should really be the L-Star as an SMG, complete with heat mechanics and travel time (just a faster projectile), instead of what it is.

Yeah despite loving legion I have to agree. I would love to be able to play Ion and Ronin and Scorch for once without feeling like I'm totally loving myself.

YMMV, but I was having an abysmal time coming from a long run of Overwatch, until I swapped my tactical to cloak. It's like night and day. So if you start out and you just die a ton, try being a cloaking rear end in a top hat, it's great.

Something to note is that when cloaked, your usual mobility options will decloak you for a split second, so it's actually better to stick to the ground and slides when you're invis.

Also it's got a much longer duration than in SP, and you auto recloak after firing, which is why I prefer to rock the auto-shottie when I'm doing it. Bang bang done, fade into the night.

Current fun loadout is amped wall with dmr and charge laser with charge hack, you get it back roughly every 30 seconds or so and vastly improves both of the weapons. DMR goes to one-hit from two and both can be used on Titan crit spots for huge damage.

Yeah, gently caress you too buddy.

Not one bad match, this is somehow the last ten LTS matches. The Ion mines the place, Northstar hides in a corner. The Tone is the rear end in a top hat.
