The problem is that everything is static. The Bounties always drop in the same place (like, at this point I know where every single grunt pod lands and how to chuck a grenade into it before they get out of it) and the banks are always in the same place, so a team that has played quite a bit knows exactly where everything is going to go down and how to mop up all of the money in seconds and hit the banks before they even open. people who don't play it much are at a massive innate disadvantage against a team that knows the mode and levels front to back. I've said it before, but something bounty hunt desperately needs is to put like 8 banks all over the map and have 2 open up at random when the time comes. Then they need to randomize where the bounties land so people can't just wait there for them before they even spawn. That's why I think it's so good when you have 2 teams that know what they are doing. it becomes this head to head clash for money, and everyone is killing eachother and stealing bounties. The fact that everyone knows where everything is stops being an issue. Not knowing that stuff will put you at such a massive disadvantage that I think most people just quit before they learn.

You should probably just use the Archer. Also, every mode is a stomp in parties, it's not bounty hunt specific.

Not to the degree that the score ends up being like 5000 to 200 on a regular basis. AT least the group I play with, we lose probably at least 30% of attrition matches.

I stopped playing Bounty Hunt, because its one of those modes where people find out the perfect strategies to get the most amount of AI dead in a short amount of time, so I usually end up with only like $200 compared to everyone else's immense sums of money on my team. So I just said, "Why bother"

So I just said, "Why bother" I improved immensely when I switched to a phase/smoke grenade/ordinance expert loadout in bounty hunt. Make pilot turrets your boost, and maybe consider nuclear eject on whichever titan you pick so you can swoop in and grab titan bounties asap. I still eat poo poo about half the time, but the other half I can almost carry a team of pubbies against a group of competent players.

Ordnance Expert with Arc grenades is amazing because you'll literally throw one and the next will already be 60% recharged. Only takes something like 15 seconds for another to be ready so you can just run around stunning people from the air and then making GBS threads on them and be ready to do it again almost immediately.

When the L-star wasn't as good I would run ordinance expert and grab star. A new star every ten seconds for your laser balls I keep the two star combo on my All Star loadout, but with quick regent instead of more grenades

I didn't know that you could customize controls completely and was using jumper pilot layout, now I jump with L1 and crouch with R3 (like CoD tactical's layout). I can jump, slide and aim at the same time wich is an improvement.

I was gonna mock you guys for not noticing that they moved "Mission Select" to the front a couple months ago, eliminating the problem with accidentally hitting "Continue". But apparently they changed it back? What the actual gently caress Respawn?

Played a game last night that I'm pretty sure had hackers in it. Bounty hunt where my team lost by 4500 points. Two guys on their team had almost all of the points in the match, while the other guys just kept killing us. One guy in particular using an l-star genuinely never fired a shot that missed and kept looking exactly where either my teammates or I was, like spinning 180 degrees and snapping to me right after killing someone even though I hadn't taken a shot or anything. I showed up in the top three at the end with like 200 points on the losing team. It was so lovely. Wish I had saved a replay.

https://youtu.be/CLObRbpVfEE So we played a Pilots v. Pilots match and this thing happened where a goon is trapped in a well... Er, on top of a roof and he massacres the enemy without ever leaving his exposed position. Also included: him being surrounded and the enemy whiffing multiple sniper and DMR shots. Also: he cackles like a maniac.

I hope this next patch undoes the random lag spikes I've been getting since the colony update. The game is drat near unplayable now with pings sitting at 60 randomly spiking to 200 for split seconds (instead of my usual steady 20)

I hadn't tried the archer since the last patch until tonight and holy poo poo  one thing always has to be op as hell I guess. Literally no point in using any other AT weapon anymore especially considering what a pos they turned the MGL and charge rifle into.

it's seems like a logic failure that the archer actually locks on and fires in less time than the charge rifle takes just to charge and does more damage than any of the other AT weapons, and you don't even have to aim. Don't even get me started on how loving worthless the MGL is now. It does like no damage and you probably would build less titan meter landing every shot from a whole clip, than it takes to get one effortless shot from an archer. Good job Respawn you went full Naughty Dog with that rebalance.

As far as I can tell from trawling through patchnotes, they didn't touch the MGL's damage or meter stats, they just made the projectiles slower and gave it a fuse. Which is good, as it was unequivocally the most effective AT weapon since you could fire it from complete safety. It's still probably the highest DPS of the bunch if you can land every hit. They also didn't change the Archer's damage profile, they just made it so that you can no longer dodge every missile by walking slowly to one side.

If that pilot tracker map is a constant thing during the match, I predict a lot of hilarious kills from that. Also think it's kind of cool that you can grapple onto those little drone things in the new Live Fire map. Can you do that with the grunt dropships on regular maps, too?

Oooh, that new map looks good. Shame they didn't go full War-games with the simulation pod intro. Would probably be tough with all the different factions, though.
