I bought Frost as my fist DLC operator and she's been doing fine, just don't pick her when you already have a Kapkan on team and you're golden. Great on Hostage and really anything if you can hold out long enough to force the attackers to rush. Now I've bought Hibana, and the guns are awesome, but X-Kairos seem to not work on non-reinforced surfaces A LOT. I've had quite a few situations where I'd try to pop an unprotected hatch and the would glow, make the sound and then absolutely nothing happens. Also how big does the hole have to be to crawl in? I thought it was one charge for crawl, two for crouch and three to walk through upright, but I've yet to manage to make a 1 charge hole that I could crawl through.

I thought this meant mute put down a jammer. 1 charge can be crawl but it takes some precision and maybe even luck.

Naw, mute can't jam the charges mid-activation (he is jamming the signal to detonate them), and it gives you a notification instead of activating them when they are jammed.

You can definitely do some tricky poo poo with mute. Like garage door on consulate, or the basement hatch on Oregon.

Well it can't be Bandit since there is no electricity and the charges stay there. I assume it's a huge bug then that I also get all the time. It would be weird if she was the only operator who had a diceroll to determine if they were shooting duds.

This happened to me on the hatch to the armory on Hereford Base, the one in the very corner. As far as I know there is no way to mute that.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

What, the feet thing?



just queued up for multiplayer and got in a game with 4 people with the same clan tag and was excited, :yeah: organized play!

i got tk'ed at the start of the round and brushed it off, then it happened the next round too from a different guy and when i started a vote kick they all called me "snowden friend of the family" so that was cool

i guess what i'm asking is there the ability to report people for something other than "suspicious behavior" or mute their text or is it pretty much just get hosed and find a different match??

Get hosed and find a different match, exactly. Ubisoft doesn't think that online harassment is real, so they chose against giving people an option to report it as such, or to ignore individual chatters instead of outright disabling the entire chat under HUD options. Sure, you can do that, but it's an idiotic solution for getting less than 9 people shut up in chat.

Suspicious behaviour is the catch-all "report a shitter" button and apparently gets people banned for non-cheaty things.

I've read people saying they've had some success opening support tickets and reporting people that way, screenshots if you have any would probably help with that.
