Anyone mind sharing some Bandit tips? I know about using the Bandit trick (which seems really fiddly to do in soloqueue?), but it feels a bit awkward to do to know you're playing vs a Thermite and where to do it? though I guess that's part of the learning. So I usually just put them on barbed wire to catch drones, or behind shields. Am I right about this or what?

I have three regrets
The first is to be born in Joseon.
Maybe there's been a meta shift (they changed it so charges instakill drones now, it used to take like 3 ticks), I haven't played that much since the update, but I'd still think except for a few specific locations you wanna be using your charges on walls rather than against drones or on shields. You don't need to be active banditing for it to be worthwhile, it still requires Hibana/Thermite to coordinate with Twitch/Thatcher. Just leave them on any important wall and it still forces them to reposition, be delayed, and be in predictable spots, which is always good for your team. Learning what are important walls is part of what you gotta do as a Bandit player, but exterior walls and Mira windows are a good rule of thumb if you don't have any other ideas.

As for tips: shoot out the wall before you reinforce it, the sound carries better which'll make it easier to hear the charge plant. Also turn your sound way up so you can listen. Make sure your teammates are covering angles people might get you from (stairs on consulate garage, blue corridor on snowmobile garage are ash-rush favorites for instance) so you don't have to worry about them. If it's a 2 wide wall, I always set the first 2 charges down immediately and consider them sacrificial, but if you sorta-randomly pick one up and put it down again repeatedly when you hear them outside you can often save it and waste their EMP (even better if you can actually listen/look for the EMP, but I've only had luck with that when they throw it directly up against the wall and I see the blue light bleed through). Also don't over commit. If a Thermite charge is going off but you're not already ready for it, it's probably too late, even if you think you can get it.

Cheers bud, I'll give it a go more. I don't play him very often because I feel a bit clueless playing him compared to some of the other operators, but I want to learn for sure.

If you shoot the hostage in the head at point blank range with a shotgun will that for sure kill them? I'd like to think I just tanked a comeback game really hard because they TKed and tried to votekick me when the round started but I am not sure if I actually did.

suggestion: if you lose a round because it times out, it counts against your k/d. too many lamos holding back for their stats that miss prime opportunities for clutches

that'd be awesome. iirc tf2 put an emphasis on this and tracked class specific stats that promoted teamwork and fun gameplay. its funny to look player's stats up mid round or ask them about their rank or avatar or whatever but a lot of people do it rather too seriously and it definitely affects gameplay frequently. there are a lot of people that just play for k:d though so i think if it was removed people would literally cry over it while calling casuals carebears.

rad chibi bruh

as for bandit, he pairs excellently with mute so try to coordinate with anyone you see playing them. don't double down on jammets and batteries tho.

they removed the acog from him but you still see ppl playing him regularly compared to the huge dropoff in jager mains.

batteries aside one thing that bandit is good for harassment. ela is obv the new queen of this and jager is still good in his own way but bandit is an excellent roamer and is a slippery bastard to deal with if he commits to hit and run attacks. the mp7 is way deadlier than it first appears.

Hostage has 200% health compared to an OP and an headshot will do 120 dmg per bullet (base 100hp +20- dbno) The game handles 3 distance calculating bullet drop damage. Let's call them close, (100%) medium(-30%) and far (-50%).

You do the math from there.

I thought shotguns didn't get extra damage for headshots?

Oh so the Hostage straight up has 200 health? I remember reading a long time ago they were just treated like they had level 3 armor for the purposes of bullet damage. Do they still come back with the standard 50 health if they are injured and then revived like regular OPS or do they just come back with the standard 100 then?

Hard is there a chance earned alpha packs can limit their selection to stuff for operators the player actually has unlocked, because holy goddamn is it a bummer to play 10-20 rounds just for a common gun skin for an operator I don't even have.

so turns out that castle/ela pair up well in that you can bust down the friendly castle wall to 1 hit left on a really obvious spot and then put an ela mine on it. when the attacker goes to start breaching it will insta-pop the ela mine and the door letting you kill them before they realized what even happened :lol:

Idk what you complain about your aim, unless the video bits take like maps in-between of you just dieing constantly. No one cares as long as you land the shots you take, even if it does involve 40 second salsa around the kitchen. :v:
