A couple months ago, there was about a week when 25% of people or so would preedit the pyramid into a ramp. The benefit is minor and you have to preedit before every single match, so almost nobody bothers with it now.

Stone stairs also "suck in" your camera when you get close below the stairs. They're also way thicker than ramp stairs, which I guess isn't necessarily a downside in BR.

Pro players have been coming up with better and better uses for that building though so this is probably a bad idea.

I used to edit pyramids into ramps before every. single. game. But stopped when builder pro was released. They're stronger than stairs? I had no idea.

As far as I know, most the people that did the Pyramid-Ramp thing were console players before Builder Pro came out cause it was a faster button combo to get the Pyramid-Ramp down before the Stairs but i could be wrong, just started playing little over a month ago  Also, anyone on console (PS4 specifically) having problem with the Golf Carts? It says to hit R2 Forward to go but when I hold down R2 with or without holding forward the cart doesn't go anywhere? I can power slide to get the thing to go but then I still can't just drive it by hitting R2. I don't understand and I just desperately want to run someone over with it

If you guys want a fun use for the pyramid in BR: edit two opposite corners, the new shape will let you cross Loot Lake diagonally while spending half the mats you'd use on floor tiles.  (I forget where I first saw someone do this, some YT video I believe) Pyramids with one corner edited creates a little pocket corner to hide in but you're still open to snipers from other directions so it's not as useful unless you're in real bad shape with building mats. codo27 posted:Wait a sec. So you're saying- wait I think I get it. There are no epic or legendary tacs are there? There are epic and legendary heavy shotguns, which are the actual best shotgun in the game. You might get a lucky point blank headshot for more damage with a blue pump but I can't think of any reason you'd want a tac over a heavy. It'd be like wanting a regular blue AR over a gold SCAR.

Turns out Power Level 186 Takers one-shot you with their charge. In the end I just completely walled everything up except for the last 2 tiles, at least they won't charge you anymore.

remove miniguns https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRPzVzKxhM4 that's ~1400 mats vs 2/3 of his ammo. I screwed up moving onto the ground where I need 2 walls in front of me to not take damage but still, it's obnoxious and excessive.

I find people making endless, instant walls obnoxious and obsessive. Yes I know building is the name of the game but I came in thinking it would kinda be more thought out, purposeful building. I think the walls should offer little to no protection until they are actually finished. And even then, you got a stick wall full of 3-4" gaps, you might as well be looking through a pane of glass. But you cant hit the guy.

Yeah I’m happy with instant walls just so you don’t instant die when someone accidentally gets the drop on you. If anything, make it easier for walls to be destroyed to counter build spamming Edit: just watched the video. I guess you could’ve tried jumping down and peaking to the side earlier while he wasted time shooting down your tower. Instead you kept trying to rebuild your 1x1 and jumping back up top as it’s already getting destroyed. By the time you gave up on that, you let your opponent get to close that you just had to hope he ran out of ammo or get a lucky shot on him. I would’ve definitely panicked and died to this guy too, but it’s not impossible to counter the minigun Nottherealaborn fucked around with this message at 12:45 on Jul 17, 2018 |

Well now you're starting to talk sense. Its just so dumb to me that if you don't have a LMG or mini, theres just no way to blow down their walls faster than they can build. Hell even then you need a teammate to shoot them while you destroy their walls. Had some fun last night with a few goons, even though I suck. I just got no confidence in my aim at all with the loving gamepad.

But you cant hit the guy. I've been playing the game since october and yea endless instant walls is something I've always hated. Coming up with a solution is hard though, capping it at like 10 instant builds and then a cool down would gently caress up the flow of the game a lot. Something like first 10 placed materials having full starting health then the next 10 having half the starting health (but still building to full) might be a fix (with a cooldown on that as well) objectively bad posted:remove miniguns I hate being the guy saying "you should've just done X" but you absolutely played that wrong. Miniguns are used exactly to punish people sitting in cover like you and it worked. It's downside is that it's not that accurate at tracking or doing damage over range. If you just dropped to the back of your fort near the beginning and just got into a shootout with your AR vs his Minigun you would've won that pretty easily. I'm pretty sure he was able to get closer and closer to you because you weren't being proactive. Seriously though the main tactic against miniguns is, just drop the cover and shoot the guy, miniguns shine when a squad has one on squads being protected by cover fire. Miniguns are actually pretty crap in solos.

I mean you kinda just ended up in the perfect situation for the minigun: flat field except for a small little bit of cover, which he was in. If the terrain had been different his minigun might have been worthless.

It still has a big spread and people miss a lot of their shots with it tracking a target over a distance. Tap firing with an AR will have you win that battle more times than not.

You were also throwing down brick walls, which have less initial health than wooden walls. Only use brick or metal if you know you have the time for it to finish building. Wooden walls have higher initial health, and are much better for throwing up "oh poo poo I need some cover" walls. You just panicked and the dude got the best of you, it happens to all of us. If you'd dropped off the back of the tower after throwing up a few distraction walls for him to shoot around :30, while you went around the side and sniped or lit him up with an AR, you probably would have won. It may have come down to bloom, but that's still a better chance than not firing at all. You instead built mostly worthless cover for a minute while he just wore you down with lucky hits and slowly advanced into minigun gonna gently caress you up range.

In many 50 vs 50 games I see my side just sitting and sniping from houses and behind trees not being aggressive enough. Or when they are being aggressive they are doing by running through an open field. I will usually flip into builder mode and build staggered bunkers leading over to the other team, making sniping towers along the way. It generally works really well having dedicated builders & revivers.
