I grew up on Doom ( the first one ) and Quake so reloading is one of those things that just doesn't register to me. Besides constantly cycling through weapons takes fingers away from checking the map button or pushing my precious shopping cart.

( I so want to build a giant ramp right outside Tilted and try to land on one of the roofs but the chance of not being sniped/blown the eff up is about 0.02% )

Someone was able to build a Hollywood style tilted sign above it, so can you.

So far either I get killed trying or its just not possible due to the storm eye instantly excluding Tilted Towers. Also the only reliable place to snag a shopping cart to do this seems to be the docks in Loot Lake so that's also a bit of a run. But if I can just pull it off...

It'd probably be a lot easier if 50 versus 50 mode was still a thing.

Do it with a squad so folks can cover you while you do it?

It gets me killed always.
I even do it in loving STW between zombie headshots. Old habits die hard.
I don't even know why I developed the habit. Counter strike? Still gets you killed there, too.
Some game out there didn't have an auto-reload and forced me to learn to mash R after murdering.

Play Borderlands 2, Mechromancer with the Anarchy skill tree. You get a flat +% damage bonus for each mag you shot withouth reloading, it accumulate to 255 stacks and has many many voicelines has you progress to more stacks.

You will come back from that refreshed, has a new person with the skill of not reloading.

Traveling during the first few days of dancing at Loot Lake has made that weekly impossible to get. I spent a little over an hour last night dropping there in different modes and dancing without moving. Best finish was 5th place (killed by the storm), and one time I had 2 other people dancing. Ugh.

if you happen to be on PS4 you can count me in for a squad to get the weekly done, maybe we can find 2 more people? I still need it too

XBone. Hopefully the Switch version drops for E3 and all the new people will decide they need the battle pass and there will be a rush there.

That's actually the best idea. One person scavenges up a shopping cart and gets it up the mountain, another gets the materials and builds, and the other two actually get armed enough to cover the first two. Now I just need to find three other people crazy enough to go along with it. And it'll mean two get to actually ride the thing down into the towers too. And maybe even get multiple viewpoints for the recording.

Now I just need to get friends that are actually on when I play :sigh:

I played one of those with my friends. Warning is that it will take quite a while for any hope of sniping skills to return.

Spend it on the super llamas to get the best chance of high end stuff, mostly.

Don't ask, I don't know how to pronounce my name either.
So I know how to upgrade a hero's rarity, but I can't seem to find the same "Increase Rarity" option under the Upgrade menu when I try to find it for a schematic (a trap, if that matters). Halp?

Ninja edit?
I guess you gotta convert it to the new perk system before it'll let you increase the rarity

I started a dance party in a 20 v 20 by standing on a pad for literal minutes, dancing until people trickled in. We lifted the disco ball and a jump pad appeared below it and everything... then the game didn't count it when I was eliminated later on...

Did they change the location of the Week 6 secret battlepass tier thing? All the guides say it's on a Forkknife truck in the corner of Greasy Grove, but the truck seems to have been moved, at least after v4.4? :confused:

It’s def in Greasy. If I remember correctly, it’s in a corner closest to some houses. IDK if that’s a new location for the truck or not.

People were using them to get under the map and win by just standing there, not taking storm damage. Makes sense to try to fix it ASAP.

Save it for legendary troll truck llamas. If is too infrequent for you, then use it also for Super llamas of a type you might really need (People llamas are your best bet.) If you're a couple hundred event tickets shy of an event llama, you can always buy something to get that last little bit. But really, there isn't much worth spending your V-bux on outside of legendary troll llamas.

If you absolutely must buy basic upgrade llamas, at least wait until they're selling in bulk (they'll often do sales that amount to 10-30% off, hidden behind "11 llamas for the price of 10" with some cutesy name).

Dancing at Loot Lake should have been 2 stars. The number of times I’ve been there with 2 other people (in 50v50) and a final person comes in and shoots me is reaching a number beyond counting.
