Obviously there's no right or wrong way to play but I'd rather play 5 games in a row where I die top 80 than play a game where I go ten minutes without seeing anyone

I'm mostly talking about endgame, though there's definitely other times where caution and patience beat running in with a shotgun and hoping for the best. Especially now that footsteps are the noisiest thing in the game.

Funnily enough my daily today was for outliving opponents, so I was being extra lazy/sneaky but one of those games turned into solo win #2, so :cool:

The new infrared scoped AR is pretty sweet. Was playing some 50v50 and knocked 2 guys down from across Loot Lake. Normally wouldn't even be able to see them with a sniper rifle zoomed in... I got 1 elimination out of it, the other guy must have got saved.

Edit: got it.

Dog controls your destiny.

If you're not enjoying going solo and getting dunked on, definitely try 50v50. It takes a while to get going but it's very fun once the poo poo hits the fan and it's good practice for the gun fights and building.

It's kind of a more leisurely experience too when you know generally where all of your opponents are going to be and you have a larger team to work with. Obviously it's far from the true Battle Royale experience but it has definitely helped me improve.

in 50v50 it's so easy to flank the other team just by guessing how they're going to reach the circle

Player movement on 50v50 is basically like lungs that connect in the safe circle

Yeah, finally got my last chest, which was the last challenge I needed to finish the week, which was the last week I needed for the super secret skin. There's nothing left on my list of challenges I need, and I feel... empty.


Anyway, Mukaikubo on PC if people want to pair up with someone thoroughly mediocre. I've won 7 solos out of about 300 matches, with about a 1.2 k/d ratio, so I am pretty much the definition of "very, very slightly above average" :v:

How the hell are so many of you at level 100 already? I've completed all the weekly challenges and I do my daily almost every day and I'm at like 75ish. Is it just level up xp from playing a lot?

Talking season level or the battlepass? You can buy tiers in the battle pass for vbucks, alternately paying with friends that have the battle pass will level you quicker as well since you'll get bonus xp from them.

But are you level 80 yet? Still need that to unlock all the Omega goodies like the rad light colors.

Unless something radically changes, boy oh boy am I never making it to level 80. :v:

I’m not even going to bother trying for level 80. You get so little XP now. I kept expecting them to up it over the season, and that’s not going to happen at this point.

Yeah, the xp for completing the challenges is so low compared to how easy it is to level the battlepass from the challenges. I think I'm barely at season level 48 even though my battlepass is at 100. I did take a shortcut and buy the battlepass with 25 levels or so at the beginning. So I got to 100 much faster than I did with the same effort last season.

Yeah I'm going to have to scrape by just to get to 65 to unlock everything for Carbide meanwhile I'm at 94 on my battle pass. The scaling on level costs is insane and I lack the time, patience, and teammates with pass bonuses to really pump levels out.

Same, I'll get Omega and all easily but I don't play enough to get Omega between IRL stuff and new Path of Exile league.

The skin you get with 7 challenges (Visitor) is a odd choice. It looks like a 500 bucks skin more than something you work forward the entire season.

Omega... I can understand the appeal, is black and looks menacing, but for this game I think John Wick work much better.

My favorite skins for this season are Zoey, because have a attitude, looks like somebody having fun; and Teknica, because she kind of meld in the enviroment really well.

Are they reserving a decent cape for future heroes, or capes can be a problem with some dances? visitor cape is too short.

It looks pretty good with full customisations but is trash otherwise.

Sorry, I mean the Visitor, not Omega.

They did better capes back in City of Heroes. But that was a superhero game so it'd be a given to have a cape.

I do like the Teknica skin and the soccer skins but I think I've grown attached to the Burnout skin for my character at this point. Kind of wish I'd figured that out before I wasted money on the soccer ones. Not regretting the vuvuzela pickaxe though.

It's literally Boba Fett, which automatically adds an extra 20% cool points.

Omen (on the store right now) has a fuller cape, but it's also weirdly thick and you can visibly see where the two different pieces hook together, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Just so you know, level 60 is 50% of experience needed for level 80.

Well I tried to play tonight but, I couldn't even figure out how to turn my TV on so massive fail....

The remote broke. Bought a new one and set it up, was working and then tonight nothing. Didn't even get to watch the Redbox I got.

All I needed was a drat power button but apparently SMART TVs don't have them or some poo poo.

Literally, all I needed to do was turn the drat thing on.

Blaming the roommates boyfriend for this one.

Eh if you can hit 65 before next week then doing 6-5-4 doesn’t sound too bad, but you’ll be playing a lot.

Wh- ...there was like an entire mission you had to do to unlock the capes, it was a Really Big Deal and everything.

Guess I shouldn't say anything though since on two of my characters I used it for a scarf and only one of the others even added it to their primary costume.

But yeah point is there's plenty of room for good cape technology.

Capes weren't in launch. They had tech trouble making non lovely capes that didnt chug and cause resource issues, so didn't include them and gave lore excuse of 'No hero wears capes now in honor of a dead dude's sacrifice.' Then when the tech was ready patched in that quest chain to unlock the right to wear a cape again.

The villain side was even better- you had to defeat a hero wearing a cape to get the right to wear one.
