the chinese shotgun is probably the best of its class right now

first time using it got 4k and it cuts down walls almost as good as buck's skeleton key. you just gotta look in the general direction of what you want to :unsmigghh:

expecting that (if anything) to get nerfed once available for purchase by renown lmao

Ying's pretty cool too, her LMG plays like what the P90 would be if it were an assault rifle

Interesting touch: Ela's pistol has a green laser sight instead of red like all the other lasers in the game.

Also the Scorpion rules :getin: You can set it up for really accurate hipfire spraying like Jackal's PDW.

Ran into what appears to be a reproducible bug: If you're playing Secure Area on plane, the container will sometimes be un-spottable by the drones in the pre-game phase. You can do donuts right in front of it but it'll never be marked. Specifically when it spawns in the middle section among the seating (why yes, I am garbage at calling locations :downs:).

It may technically be a terrible callout, but I knew immediately what you were referring to.

unless you're playing a high tier ranked game, its funny that basic observational skills tend to benefit more for improvising callouts rather than using the actual label.

this is especially true in the new map because most players are genuinely lost.

the new map loving owns btw. i dont even miss favela having now played it a few times. if you haven't tried it yet - bring Sledge... especially before everyone else learns the maps. thank me later :black101:

Why would you ever play this game in high tier ranked on purpose?

E: Or I guess more specifically with people that would need to use the label call outs instead of whatever insane home brew poo poo your five man has.

I think shotguns in general got a buff to their wall killing potential - I've seen Sledge's shotgun loving EXPLODE walls on Kafe yesterday. One blast and half of the wall is gone :stonk:

There seems to be some undocumented changes with regards to destruction. Tachanaka's MG breaks off chuck of barricade with only one hit. Spanish operator's shortened shotgun now destroy walls just as good as a normal shotgun.

Edit: Glaz's rifle also doesn't damage wall as good anymore.

Flash hider for burst firing, compensator for sustained fire, muzzle break for single shot weapons (DMRs/Pistols).

Flash hider has more accurate individual bursts, while muzzle break will reset the recoil in between bursts faster.

That happens if it fails to sync your cloud save. If the game doesn't shutdown properly it can skip this syncing and recover the next time you play by generating a new local save file that is then pushed to the cloud when you next quit. Happened to me a couple times and it does indeed suck. Basically you can blame Uplay, and/or Hard.

I have three regrets
The first is to be born in Joseon.
Jesus, played with two of the saltiest randoms I've ever encountered in this game, right back to back. The second one was actually trying to sabotage our team, shooting our mira windows and gadgets and so on out, because he'd made up his mind that we "didn't communicate" (we're on discord) after one round. I guess I should consider myself lucky this kinda thing doesn't happen more often, but it beggars the question, can you just not kick on ranked anymore? I know you can't on overtime, but by round 3 we'd decided we'd had enough of him and it didn't let us even then.

And if you can't, why the hell not?

They removed kicking in ranked many a patch ago. Something about premades kicking people so they got a loss and maybe a sanction.

New content is objectively good and fun. The game is objectively loving worse now. Atrocious casual matchmaking, atrocious hitreg, vaulting works maybe half the time, I'm constantly being pushed away from walls.

I understand new patches bring new bugs but you guys just made a big to-do about Operation Health and the BIG SEASON 3 KICKOFF PATCH WOOOO! But this game loving blows right now. It's legitimately less fun than last season, novelty of the new ops aside.

Might be break time boys.

I thought Ela was suppose to have headgear/season pass variant thing that dyed her hair blonde? Or was i just imagining things? I'd think she'd look better blonde tbh
