Do we know what future special units are due?

A friend insists the Norwegian FSK will be in R6. I can't find news about it, but I want to believe because their speciality is off-shore counter-terrorism. Oil platform and naval sieges, ho!

And what makes it plausible is how their waifu rating is off the charts. The FSK has a literal valkyrie squad. An all women, special recon unit called the Jeger Troop.

Next year is already set (some repeat units, Morocco, and someone else) and FSK is not part of it. Year 4 is possible.

Okay. Cool that they'll pad out existing units too. Maybe we can get a Russian that isn't just a huge, burly monster, but is a huge, burly monster with 3 speed.

I love this game, I really do. But the amount of gadget's you have to avoid when breaching a room is approaching critical mass. Grozet mines, lesion traps, frost traps, kapkan traps, barb wire and throw in a mira window for good luck. I've been playing thatcher a ton to try and combat this, but it's super frustrating spending half the time trying to clear out traps before you can play shoot-mans.

On the plus side, any trap operator they add won't matter in individual matches because opfor can only have 5 of them

I never get to do big plays because I never get to know the maps because I play two weeks and quit for 3 month, but I got a huge 4v1 game winning play where I got accused of hacking last night. Caught 3 guys in a hallway with Zofia's stun and gave them the business. That's a great gadget. I got a bug where I got to try locked operators on a match and found Hibana effective but kinda dull, so I'm real glad I got the grenade launcher lady.

The night before, I got the bug where all the base operators are locked while the DLC ones are available (season passes) and also all skins and attachments have been removed from every single gun in the game.

This is the worst loving bug as it wastes a lot of time. This loving attachment UI is hot garbage.

Last night my ping seemed normal but was having huge hitreg issues, several matches. Best example:

I had a guy dead to rights dinking around with his phone shot him in the face 3 time point blank with the mini 14 or whatever. Then he shotgunned me and and was still at full health.

The a few matches later, different OP4 and I had the same issue.

I saw the blood spray but they just no sold it. Anyone else notice this recently?

Welcome mats are hilarious, so many people fall for it if you put them behind the mobile shields, or below ceiling holes. Anywhere really, people dont pay attention.

be advised you can buff your dps back to normal levels by simply whispering "tango down" into the mic after each kill

this may or may not activate the raid buff for teamwork and stealth bonuses depending on your group composition as the added effects are random

Yeah, I have no idea how this mat got someone. It's the most obvious place possible and they even blew a hole in the wall that would allow them to shoot/avoid it with ease.

Also I think someone in our goonstack recorded a clip of my elevator mat getting the final kill in a round but said it would be a while before they could get it to me.

it's a microcosm of how greedy Ubisoft is now that they gave us a free Christmas skin when the game released and now you have to buy it in the store, it's not even unlockable through a challenge

am I supposed to be playing this poo poo like Counterstrike? if i'm on defense, I secure the objective room as much as possible and actually stay with/near it. my teammates will usually run off in random directions, get shot, and then vote-to-kick me when i'm the last one remaining trying to guard the fuckin' container or whatever.

playing on the xbonx if that makes a difference

other than that, this game is kinda awesome. I haven't played an RS game in years but i'm glad I tried out the free weekend

Nah it's not really like CS:GO but mobility and roaming are key parts of defense. A good team will usually have 1-2 roamers at most, depending on map and objective. The community just sucks.

It's always hilarious when the enemy team gets desperate and the entire team roams on defense, so you just walk into the objective and take it.

ok that's good to know. i'll be a little more active. I usually pick pulse, kapkan, rook, or mira on defense. their kits feel kinda "turtle-y" so I figured I was playing them the way they were intended

Yeah the defense meta is anchors and roamers, if your entire team was roaming and got merked that's on them. Especially if you were playing Smoke or Rook or something.

That being said I've done some badass poo poo as a roaming Rook with p90 + acog

Admiral Joeslop

Roaming doesn't have to mean hanging out on the other side of the map either, particularly with one speed operators. Even just one or two rooms over can be considered roaming while still close enough to respond to threats on the point.

You only need to be active enough to reposition whenever OP4 knows where you are. You wanna keep them guessing. And yeah, you are picking good anchors except maybe Pulse, he's kind of an ambusher.

Could at least flip one or two, maybe.
Pulse can go either way, really.

edit: To actually qualify that, a Pulse sitting on the objective (or near by) doing call outs can be just as effective as roaming and ambushing people. Granted, you have to make use of those call outs, but even if you don't have a competent roamer letting the other anchors know "hey they're skulking outside the window" is helpful.
