Revisiting this game after spending a couple hundred hours of overwatch is a beautiful thing. I've gone from not being able to aim or use sound ques (I was a legit bronze player) to demolishing the people it puts me against. I've even won on the new maps that i've not played on yet. Did they make shotguns more fun (as in, not poo poo)? I've had a hell of a time just breaching walls with buck and nailing the people behind it with four rounds of hilarious goodness.

I dont think shotguns have been changed recently, but they're all getting an indirect buff via the huge pistol buffs tomorrow.

can someone give advice on how to dominate with shotguns? I feel like I only get kills if I purposefully take a route that puts me in close quarters with enemies, cause ADSing someone who is more than 15m away isn't enough to kill them, and I usually end up dead if I can't kill them in one shot. I've had some real bad luck with Sledge where I'll shoot someone up close and they won't go down, and I die to their high rate of fire weapon before I can chamber the next shell.

pistols really don't need a buff. cav's pistol barely bounces when you shoot. literally every situation I've used a pistol in, the person has been relatively close and all I do is ADS and keep the centre of the gun (not the ironsights, literally the entire gun) on their body and spam click and they die. pistol damage I can sort of understand, however.

No way the worst map isn't Bartlett. Also pistols legit needed a buff - they were absurdly poo poo to aim in comparison to other weapons in the game. I now feel like I'm not trolling my team as Mira if I pick the pistol instead of the shotgun. dogstile posted:Revisiting this game after spending a couple hundred hours of overwatch is a beautiful thing.

Good luck hitting someone's head with your iron sights when the head's obscured behind your entire loving barrel. it's kind of a bad joke that they gave one of the only sighted pistols to the person with the best smg in the game

Fart Car '97 posted:What is wrong with theme park, aside from it being kinda dark? It's a loving hellscape of a map. Like, if it was half the size that it currently is it would be fine. But it's basically two maps slammed together with the world's most confusing layout possible. The exterior of the map is as large as the interior and is 90% unused. You've got two dozen entry points and jumpouts along with the most cameras any map has had so far. It is also, as you mentioned, pretty dark. Bartlett for all it's flaws (which are numerous and obvious) is a really simple map to learn because it's just two rectangular floors slammed on top of each other.

They should add a DM mode with respawns but it is limited purely to the house map, also make more walls destructible for this DM mode.

Is there a downside to always having Jackal’s visor enabled? I assume Pulse can detect him, but if the defenders don’t have a Pulse then is it okay to always have it turned on?

Jackal gets a little icon on exactly where you are, and it moves around with you. I’m not sure if it wears off after a while or not, as the target usually gets shot pretty quickly be me after that. It does seem to linger for a good long while though, it seems pretty powerful.

It doesn't technically follow your every move. His team gets a UI ping every couple of seconds with your current location, but that doesn't update until the next ping. So don't sit still when tracked, you can definitely still surprise him if you reposition between pings. Pings 5 times right now, I think? But it definitely wears off

Jackal's visor lasts, I believe, 20 seconds, and pings your location every 5 seconds. It might be 30 seconds. You can try to lure him into a trap, or cheese it if you know the exit is clear.

You get interference when you get shot which makes it harder to see when you're trying to shoot back at someone. You also get totally blinded when you touch something electrified by bandit or step into a mute jammer's radius. The mute jammer thing doesn't make any loving sense, like why would radio signals affect it at all? But you'll walk into the objective room ready to blast a dude hiding behind something and then your vision will switch completely to static when you go near a jammer and then he jumps out and shoots you. Also turning your visor on and off does not affect if pulse can see you or not, he has a heartbeat scanner not an electronics detector like IQ.

Speaking of Pulse I started playing him last night and I had Flashbacks to R6 Rogue Spear running around with a heartbeat scanner out and getting shot because I am totally tunnel visioning on my scanner.

Be sure to use it for the entirety of defense set up. Seems to be a very common tactic I see.

On top of jammers and batteries, Jackal's visor also gets affected if he gets shot by the enemy.

Patch size 15GB (or 23 if you have high res textures), deployment times here: https://twitter.com/Rainbow6Game/status/937807390845685760 New patch notes too, there are some fixes that I didn't see before, like apparently you won't be able to kill people with claymores through the drone hole anymore

Kikas posted:apparently you won't be able to kill people with claymores through the drone hole anymore I don't think that's what it's saying. "Attackers can trigger claymores through walls" means literally walking past a solid wall and exploding from a claymore on the other side that shouldn't possibly be able to hurt you.
