Like any other emote, it will spray onto closest to cursor surface.

Just give it a few days and tilted will be 2/3s old Tilted, unless there are undisclosed loot nerfs (didn't feel like it). I imagine everyone is now dropping divot/haunted/flush due to new season hype and first week challenges.

But yeah my TT experience today is like a handful solemn buildlords at a time so you basically walk out sweating and exhausted after 2 kills.

Out of all this week's challenges, "Search 7 chests in Haunted Hills" ended up being the hardest. Lol at barely sneaking past an intense gunfight between like five assholes and trying to find a single chest.

It's like the comet destroyed the experience of Tilted. But it'll probably be back to normal after everyone gets used to the new content.

I didn't know the sprays were emotes. That's weird, but not unexpected.
I had some time to dig into the UI but not enough to start a game.
What's the new wheel for emotes look like? I read something in the patch notes about being able to use any of your emotes in game.

Is there a new LTM to replace 50v50?

It's hitscan and 100% accurate when in first-shot accuracy - only thing that could account for seeming inaccuracy would be desync, which sucks but probably won't go away until the current iteration of the internet does.

I think it's one stash per 5 (or 10) regular llamas purchased in the past?
Either way: I have a problem.

I just recently found out you can hold down the mouse button to fast forward through the openings, except those pick a card pauses. I'd prefer an option to skip right to the screen that shows you everything.

there is not nearly enough loot there for the insane number of people dropping any given game

if you're one of the first on the ground, or first to a chest, it's pretty much guaranteed you'll get 5+ kills, but good fuckin luck doing that because of how it's arranged (you will pop your chute way above the base)

Dive out well before the bus reaches Dusty, so your chute opens a square away and juuuuuust as you're about to hit the ground you glide over the crater and land 5-10 seconds before people who jumped out later, allowing you to loot and start hunting all the unarmed sightseers.

I was getting the impression that this WAS a Hollywood theme. There's tons of new recording studios dotted around the map, some new villain/hero bases (the mansion north of the racetrack, a missile silo to the east of Snobby Shores), also a sitcom set to the east of the junkyard.
Also if you unlock this week's loading screen and look at the item description it's a kind of short diary log that talks about how a recording session was interrupted by the comet strike. Conceptually this seems to be a fun mashup of Hollywood and actual space bullshit. .

This season will be a ton of fun with space crack. The two upgradeable heroes look pretty sick as the unlockable armor pieces get applied. While it was fun to hail Mary crossbow shots I'm okay with it being gone.

Can't wait to see how things evolve throughout the season. The dance club at the warehouses near flush is loud as gently caress you can hear it in like that whole area.

Whoever does the music for the dances and dance floors is doing am amazing job.

I can't say enough how well Epic seems to be handling this game. I was certain the servers would have poo poo themselves today like every modern game does on update day. The battle pass is always fun challenges. While the stand alone skins are a bit pricy. I have no complaints. Apparently Skeleton Trooper accounts are selling for like $400. While it is tempting, got to hold onto that bony boi

It's funny, I was thinking all the Hollywood stuff was a tease and that the theme was sci-fi, but now that I've seen the huge number of changes and rewards, it must be what you're describing.

Well, they're purely cosmetic rewards, but the season is quite long so a couple of games a day would add up to half the rewards, at the very least, and more if you do the treasure hunts etc as some of your games.

I have a lot of fun with the challenges. If you don't spoiler the "treasure hunt" stuff it's fun to try and figure then out. I was able to find all of them from season 3 and enjoyed the challenge from the vague clues.

Even if you don't unlock everything (or even anything at all) 2 skins for :10bux: isn't bad compared to the price of anything else.

This was me last season. I think i went a whole month through without playing in the middle and i still almost got the level 100 skin. I enjoyed it and think its worth :10bux: if only to give you something to do and make you try different weapons.

And what should one do to be remembered?
How doable is hitting level 100 without spending money? I don't mind spending a bit to buy 10-15 levels but it's my first battle pass and I have no idea what to expect from it progression-wise.

It’s fairly straightforward if you can maintain some semblance of regular play (like an hour or two per day averaging over the entire season). Just do your challenges.

Very doable, particularly if you use modes like 50v50 to bang out a whole lot of challenges and treasure hunts.

You can do that all in normal modes too unless you get paralysed by incoming fire.

if you dont mind spending to get the last few levels just wait til the season is coming to an end before you buy them (if you even need to at that point). i bought in on something like week 7 or 8 of the last season because i was kinda drunk and having fun and i still hit level 50something i think

I really like that even though there are Black Panther skins running around already from the people willing to buy like 100 levels on day one, nobody can get the “real” tier 100 skin unless they earn it through actually playing. It’s a really clever little addition to this season’s battlepass.

I hope we get a 50v50 this season. It’s the only reason I was able to get the sniper rifle achievements last season. I’ve done all the challenges this week but still 0/500 on that.

I had to do it in sniper battle v2 last time. Hopefully they do that one again. Even in a mode with just sniper rifles it still took me an embarrassing amount of time.
