Fuze is the guy with the LMG that you can just hose things down with while laughing and also you can put a silencer on it for some reason which is Kool because you can hose down walls without leaving tracers

Actually, unless they fixed it, every round from a silenced gun leaves a tracer, just a much less noticeable one. By comparison, only the first round from an unsilenced gun leaves a tracer. Silencers are great on LMGs though because they eliminate muzzle flash, which makes it much, much easier to aim them since LMGs tend to have pretty explosive muzzle flash.

Is Fuze not supposed to be able to use his gadget on the 2nd floor of Plane reliably? A lot of the times it goes through but sometimes one puck sits right below your heels and it sends you to hell. It's happened to me and I've won a match recently because the last fuze boned himself

Your grenades bounce and will kill you in tight quarters.

I'm pretty sure that's not how it works now, I definitely see large groups of tracers coming from unsuppressed guns all the time.

cyber athletes have been arguing about silencers for years now

i've seen ppl have full blown meltdowns about how the damage reduction is a literal game changer to them because you have to shoot someone with 3 bullets instead of 2 when the rate of fire for a MP7 is like literally nearly loving 1000 RPM anyway.

realistically in most indoor firefights i've seen a suppressor works well enough for people that know how to use existing sounds to cover their movement and terribly for people that don't ever relocate after being spotted. if you want to be tactic00l you should use them, its pretty much as simple as that imo.

The killcam showed one puck shoot downwards into the room below me, then the second, but the third didn't "leave" the gadget. The first two pucks didn't hit me at all, only the third did. If you mean tight quarters in that third floor isn't high enough over the second to be able to fuze without you taking damage, this is the first time I've heard of it. I've never had anyone warn me saying "you're fuzing server on plane? Naw dude bad strat" and people online loooove telling whoever picks fuze how to roll

its cuz the tiles separating the server from the main floor is thicker than most other floors, so the pucks can get stuck inside it, which then kills you.

Damage reduction from silencer is the silliest thing to argue about vehemetly in a game with 1HKO headshots.

Fuze is my main guy but i think his AK is a way better option for just about every case. his LMG is fun, but i think you can actually get through more bullets faster with his AK just because of how quick it reloads and shoots

his AK is also one of the best ARs in the game

I am on the quest to get Blood Orchid getups for everyone. Already got the JTF2 and half the Spetsnaz ops done, afterwards I guess the SAS and the GSG9 ops will be the priority.

At least some are pointless - BOPE and FBI are already dressed in black, and most ops have black default headgear.

But yes, I can't imagine saving 27,000 renown for cosmetics. Or even for a dlc operator.

hmm so actually a squad of 3-4 LMGers is incredibly effective at defending quickly-planted bomb defusers. To the point where by the 3rd round of it nobody even bothered to try and come in to the Kafe kitchen because we were just hosing down the doorways non-stop.

we chewed up the entire room.

Does the renown booster start from the day you purchase the season pass, and go from there? Or will it be ending when the new season starts? I'm assuming the former. I may get the season pass, but I only recently spent some $$$ on the year 1 bundle and might hold off. I also unlocked two DLC operators grinding poorbux so it will probably feel like 50k renown was wasted. I really wish there was some sort of half renown returned if you already unlocked an op and then buy the pass

So launching this game for the first time in a long time after needing an actual populated PC Shooter. The game feels really different. One thing I'm noticing is that I'm doing way better now. I feel like hitting enemies is more responsive, player movement is much better (anims seem smoother and move at a better speed, but that could just be me), and the brightness seems better (had to crank it up to eye-searing levels just to see near launch). I'm really impressed with how much work the game's gotten.

Renown boost lasts for the relevant season/year.
