There fallout variation is also acceptable as 99% of the people use it despite never getting near a nuke.

Hi folks. My house was broken into today and my PlayStation was stolen (along with my Xbox). Feel free to send as many offensive messages to me as possible. I'm sure there's a way to get it recovered. They're already trying to change the password on, which I'm getting messages on my phone saying right now. So spam AhChaChaChaCha with tons of dick pics and gay sex pics. Seriously. gently caress those people.

That loving sucks. I assume you've filed a police report- maybe mention that they are logging in with your system, they might be able to trace the IP? :shrug: I don't know if that would really work, but they would have to work directly with Sony support or something.

A couple of years ago a friend got his house broken into and they stole his 360 and logged in using his account, he tried calling Microsoft but kinda dragged their feet on it saying they aren't really allowed to do that unless working directly with the police.

Yes. There's a police report. Here's the rub: I'm out of the country on vacation. Literally my first day overseas and this happens. It will happen, but will have to happen when I get back home.

That only happens on TV. In real life you can walk into a police station with a cerberus dump of your stolen phone's address complete with a shot of the thief's face from the front facing camera and they're like uhhh hes in the next town over so uhhh sorry.

Also Hardcore Domination is pretty good. Less likely to worry about getting your needed shots to kill, due to being killed by a gust of wind. Also managed to go positive.

I had two factor enabled already and my password is required for purchases. I was receiving the requests to reset the password via two factor via text message while on the phone with the cops. So I've deactivated the PlayStation. It should have locked them out. If not it will the next time it starts up. No psn or free games for you, assholes!

And my insurance is good so I should be fine. I have either a $250 or $500 deductible and didn't hit nearly the max. I've held renters/home owners for years. Now I know why. The funny things are 1. The cops missed them my minutes, but DID scout the neighborhood looking for them and found my backpack apparently and 2. Stayed at the house until my landlord could get there to shore up the window they smashed.

For the record, I have a Samsung SmartThings security setup and it worked. Like. A. Charm. I knew when they were at the back door trying it and when they successfully got it open and called the cops - from Europe - instantly. God bless technology.

Guess I'll be picking up a pro to replace it once the insurance rolls in. Not sure I'll replace the Xbox though.

That sucks ACha. I've been broken into as well except I was really poor at the time and while they stole a bunch of stuff it wasn't enough to hit my deductible so I would have ended up paying for everything either way and couldn't afford it :(

The first one ever I got from a drone package was an AP-3X, so I guess that's perfectly fair :v:

I had a match earlier where I got an Apex, followed by an RC8, followed by a Thor from packages :allears:

They went well with the legit earned Apex from the RAW :getin:

Apex challenges are comparatively easy next to the loving insaneo air mastery challenges like 'blow up ground streaks with air streaks' or 'get triple kills with useless bombing streaks that suck rear end against spawn protection'.

Bunch of new variants/camos/taunts etc.

Shockingly, all the variants are buyable with salvage immediately, none are crate locked.

There are also new rare variants (including a faster burst version of the R3K!)

Yes but good luck ever affording three epics from salvage. First with your 8000 from mission teams, second from the leftover + grind then it's over two months to get one if you average 100 salvage a day.

Ok, so the new ones are:
  • R3K - Spearhead (Rare): Decreased delay between bursts, increased recoil. Increased damage against scorestreaks.
  • Type-2 - Atomic (Legendary): Gets nukes. Reduced spread while sliding.
  • Mauler - Grizzly (Rare): Faster ADS, worse hip fire spread. Move faster while crouched.
  • Titan - Vile (Common): Move faster while crouched.
  • KBS - Affliction (Legendary): Damage reduces movement speed. Faster melee.
  • EBR-800 - Bomber (Epic): Charged 3-round burst. Infinite breath hold duration.
  • Banshee - Slither (Common): Reduced spread while sliding.
  • DCM-8 - Epitatch (Epic): Each shot reduces hip fire spread. Reduced recoil.
  • Rack-9 - Volatile (Legendary): Random attachment on spawn. Move faster while crouched.
  • EMC - Heavy Weight (Common): Faster melee.
  • Oni - Amped (Rare): Faster ADS, worse hip fire spread. Increased damage against scorestreaks.
  • Hailstorm - Thunder (Epic): Fast-cycling auto-burst, increased recoil. Reduced sway.

It's probably for people who never want an anti-scorestreak class ever.

Which is dumb, since the ERAD Reckoning exists and needs just a laser to function even though I'm conditioned to ADS all day.

Protip for anyone dumb enough to be going for camo challenges:

For the slide kills, take gung ho. Normally if you fire, it'll cancel your sprint and prevent you from sliding. Gung ho you can start shooting, slide, and finish the kill. It also helps with the registration of the loving slide kills because half of them seem to not count if you get the kill near the end of the slide even if the low blow medal pops up.

This assumes you have a controller you can shoot and slide at the same time with of course :v:

Sliding is way easier to do with a normal controller since you can just use Tactical and not give up anything with the removal of panic knifing. Heck, I have a pro controller and still use Tactical for sliding.
