e: VV in ranked people tend to pick the same 2 objectives over and over again. They'd pick the same one if the game would allow it.

Thats because some of them are horribly bad (favela meth room) or absurdly easy (plane meeting room) so picking anything else is handicapping yourself for no reason.

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.
Every single game I've played tonight, every single game (~15) each team got the same objective point every single time. (I mean one team got point A every time, and one team got point B every time).

They're way better imo. They were far too chunky to see anything last patch. Only having the slightest indicator of where dead-center is seems a lot more useful.

to buy it you have to go into the shop side menus, its hidden in the headgear section instead of the regular operator menus

Y1S3 and Y1S4 Signature Weapon Skin Compensation
The wording for the Year 1 Season 3 and 4 signature weapon skins was not entirely clear and created the perception that they were intended on being universal for future Seasons. This is not the original design intention. We are striving to create new and immersive cosmetic gear, which is why we unfortunately will not be able to dedicate resources to fitting these skins for upcoming weapons. However, because of the confusion that we created, we are distributing a free Blue Nebula Universal weapon skin for all players who owned Season 3 and 4 signature weapon skins. Additionally, if you are still unsatisfied, then you can contact us for a refund of the Renown or R6 Credits that you spent on these weapon skins. You have until March 21st to request the refund (then please allow 3 weeks’ time to process this request).

Please note that the signature weapon skin will be removed from your inventory and it will not be available for purchase again.

You will be able to redeem the following signature weapon skins:

Season Name
3 Amazônia
3 Azulejos
3 Piranha
3 Skull Rain
4 AKI NO TSURU

I don't care about renown but this waves skin is loving garbage. The question is do I keep something 'unique' that is also uniquely poo poo or not.


Well anyway, with this change to Jackals gun I question the fact that play testing was made on or it was not intentionally made OP. It doesn't take brightest dev in the box to figure out that a gun that simultaneously has a high rate of fire and high damage shouldn't also be pinpoint accurate.

I'm actually kind of sad they buffed Glaz now. He seems way too OP. Every match so far today has had a Glaz w/smokes. I felt more satisfied getting a kill with him before, now it's way easier for anyone. Hell, a dude TK'd me for stealing him away.

I like it! but OP? yeah, I guess a bit but we'll see how players adapt. it'll be cool to see shield players using extra smoke grenades to work with him

honestly loved Glaz before the update but I didn't play him as much because he never felt like he really had an "ability" like the other ops do. An offensive sniper that can just as effectively enter the building and cause trouble was always really cool but he was always just a 1 hit kill gun to me and not much else. The range toggle ability is already better handled in an operator like Buck that can switch from ACOG to a shotgun so yeah I think overall Glaz's update is good. if they need to nerf it, the easiest way would be to over-magnify the zoom when using the thermal.

and who knows... it'd be funny if the next defender op is somehow a perfect counter to him. dunno how they would actually do that though, maybe someone that can throw a ghostbusters trap on the floor and suck up a smoke cloud? :iiam:
