Just shoot your teammate in the head, they will always respawn in the next round with full health.

Gadzooks! I'm terrified of this little child who is going to stab me with a knife. I must wrest the knife away from his control and therefore gain the upperhand.
Personally I think a revived person should get up with only 1 health. It makes no sense someone revives with 50 health. They should be given a slight fighting chance but not a 50% reset.

Question: Will a silenced pistol kill one hit to the head?

Don't be sad, the game is placing you with players it thinks matches your skill level best. I wish I was copper 2, probably way less tryhards and ultra aggressive jerks

99.9% yes.

But you still can run into situation where you get a injured + headshot trough objects, also cav pistol without silentstep gives me like all the time headshot + injure over medium/long distances, speak plane.

My newest problem is that I'm doing loving terrible in just about every match I play lately. I went from consistently improving and sometimes pulling off some cool poo poo (Throwing nitro through a drop in the ceiling an attacker opened, detonating in midair for the kill), to getting 1 or 2 kills the entire match and being the first one to die every round.

It seems like the operator I'm able to reliably perform well with at the moment is Fuze, with his machine gun. With that in mind, do you all have any suggestions? Does Capitao work alright when you give him his machine gun?

Belt-fed guns are great! I also like IQ's gun with handlebar grip.

are they better than the other guns available? I guess not if you have excellent aim and are gonna pop sick nasty headshotz all the time.

but like shotguns they're fun as gently caress and perfectly viable imo. you don't have to have great aim, just a a good sense for when and where to shoot. you don't need to hold the trigger down to suppress someone. you can trash walls and take pot shots all day with short bursts or even repeated single shots. peeking is very important in this game and having 100 bullets to spread out while running around pretty much terrorizes the enemy team while you cut out a perfect outline of their silhouette with bullet holes. in the meantime, your teammates are rotating around the far side while all the attention is faced towards you because it's loud and ridiculous

Unless you're Caveira using Silent Step, all pistol headshots should be lethal.

At all ranges. There's a number of reasons I think headshots really gently caress this game sideways.

The bit where he was Jager being included is pretty funny because he straight up misses the guy, firing over his shoulder because he wasn't quite quick enough, rubberbanding or having the server dictate that you're in a different position to what you should reasonably be in is more frustrating and has happened to me often enough.

I've had times where I've been rubberbanded back through a corridor to safety after sprinting face-first into what should have been my death only to murder the guy on my god-given second attempt.

I've also been sent inside one of the lockers in the coast-guard bomb room(the one that isn't where the hostage/cap point is) on Kanal after trying to vault out of a window, I got pulled back up inside the building after I'd run away from the window and it was like the way it corrects things was by deciding how far offset the server thinks you are and tries to correct for it but by the time it kicks in I'm far enough away from the window that it's going to place me not at the open window but inversely offset relative to whatever position I was in when the correction happens(with some sanity checking for wall boundaries).

I seem to be cursed to never get past gold 4. I will have a great team going, but get one win away from gold 3 and suddenly poo poo hits the fan. It's like entering gold skyrockets you to some elite, sweaty-palmed, tryhard arena where people takes shits on you without second thought. I have been juggling between silver 1 and gold 4 forever.

Also, am I the only one who can never seem to get kills with the nitro cell?

Basically even with the nerf, the muzzle brake still returned to rest faster then all other attachments.

It comes down to personal preference and specific weapons, but a couple rules of thumb I follow:

All pistols get suppressors to take out gadgets more discretely, except shield operators get muzzle brakes or compensators since they're loud as hell anyways. Shields also get laser pointers for the same reason, otherwise yea don't bother with lasers.

Primaries I'll only single shot with (FAL, HK417, etc) get a muzzle brake, primaries I'll mostly be spraying with (LMGs, etc) get compensators, but most weapons I try to do control bursts with so they all get flash hiders.

Vertical foregrips are for babies that can't handle recoil, angled foregrip is always useful especially when going up against operators like Ash.

Any sort of sight attachment just fucks with your peripheral vision so I stick to iron sights, but ACOGs are especially bad since all they do is narrow your FOV and give you tunnel vision.

Every gun gets the most colourful skin available and the unicorn charm, or the chibi drumstick.

I generally follow this guidance (vice the iron sights...which I may start following) and I usually do okay. Several of our regular group use suppressors on their primaries all the time and while it may be unintuitive they do better than me so they are probably more in touch with UbiLogic than me. I like ACOGs on most of my primaries but they are frustratingly jarring to use if you find yourself breaching a room.

I honestly can't make anything less than an ACOG work. Without it half the time my eyes just don't register enemies as a thing I should be shooting at because of their lack of detail and I end up just ignoring them as map geometry. Very frustrating.

Jehde
Apr 21, 2010

Yeah it depends a lot on your comfort with pixel sniping, as well as being able to hold your gun at low ready and snap to targets. Everyone in the crew I play with thinks I'm a weirdo for just using irons, but it's what I'm used to and I have my reasons. :shrug:

Does lead to some funny clips though: http://streamable.com/7b12, https://streamable.com/a1ur

As for the suppressors on primaries thing, they do actually effect the recoil pattern, so if it makes the recoil more agreeable to you then it might be worthwhile. I just personally would rather have the maximum damage potential over recoil mitigation.
