Nope, just like every patch for the past couple of months, now I can't queue with my friend. I talked about this issue in the thread before, but it's happening again after this patch. We can't join each other's squads, and when you do, the Operators "freeze" on the main menu screen and it hangs on "Joining Squad". The menu items are still animated, though.

Gonna verify integrity of files and then restart the pc, but this shouldn't be necessary.

The MP5K with a laser makes for an absurdly accurate hip fire weapon, but that's the edgiest of edge cases.

They're cool, but not good, as with anything that constantly broadcasts your presence. It's like holding down shift whenever you move anywhere.

to fully appreciate the laser sights, one must play Glaz and use the scope while approaching the house, then spam smoke on the objective and toggle to the reflex sights. suppressor optional.

Yeah, laser sights are pretty useless. Every time I spectate a team member who has a laser sight, they get shot because they're giving their position away. I guess it's not so bad if you aim at door frames, etc. instead of through the door, but then if someone DOES pop through the doorway you need to readjust your aim before you shoot - which I think is worse than simply not taking the laser sight to begin with, for the same outcome of not having your presence be given away. :shrug:
(Plus I'm pretty sure they fixed the bug where laser sights tightened your buckshot grouping when using shotguns, so it's no longer useful in that regard, either)

Well, you could play with them on and off... waiting for our extra group buddy I hopped into custom rounds and tried out different loadouts on my fav guns. Laser on MP5K is a beast, shotguns are good, and anything with a high ROF tbh. Also it's a lot easier to hide your laser sight than you think, 90% of a firefight is positioning.

If the other person knows you're there, it doesn't matter if you have a laser sight or not, you're both going to be peeking corners looking for an angle on each other. Really though, just try them on a couple of guns? I hate the nickel and diming on attachments but one laser sight isn't gonna kill ya

It's as simple as relocating. Taking someone on when they know where you are is a dumb move. Go somewhere else and kill them.

Laser Sights used to be pretty bad yeah, but ever since they lowered how visible the dot is to the enemies i've never had any problems with it. The hipfire accuracy increase actually really is helpful i think it's worth the off chance that maybe, possibly, sombody will see your tiny little red dot if they are stopping to look for it.

It's problem of these people. You can play around laser sights if you want to, even though you seldom have to.

I just aim at whatever is closest to me to hide the laser.

Like the closest part of the door frame.

But I'm also typically using a shotgun when I use a laser so its less of a big deal that I'm not just idling on head height.

People just forget that the laser sight is still on when they ADS because it isn't visible, it's covered by the sight reticule usually. If it actually turned off when you ADS'd it would be loving amazing.

I like the laser pointer on Rooks P90. I also think people are overestimating just how much people really look for the dots and how much of a difference it makes if they even do get spotted.

It's funny how Ubisoft made Siege, one of best examples of how keeping all of your content free and not splitting your playerbase with paid DLC can make a game super popular and successful.But then totally ignored all that with For Honor. Another game i thought maybe would get the Seige treatment of "pretty bad at launch, super good now" but nope.For Honor is still a game with awesome gameplay being hampered by connections issues worse than what we have in Seige right now.

2/2, 5 traps, no laser on them, no longer instant-kill (40 damage apparently).
