A tangled web titan helmet just dropped with a perk called Scatter Projectile Targeting. I play this game every night and I I swear I've never seen this before.

Have you seen/used it?


"Improved target acquisition, accuracy, and aim-down-sights speed for Auto Rifles, SMGs, Pulse Rifles, Sidearms, and Fusion Rifles."

Yeah that ones been in a while. The Eimin-Tin Ritual Mask (Warlock drop from one of the baron heroic adventures) is guaranteed to drop with it.

Sweat rules are loving moronic and suck all the fun out of everything.

I played in a Aussie tournament and the only rules were no supers, no fusions and one of each class. 3v3. I took in A Wavespitter and won. The tears were amazing.

But yeah. Sweats are just hunters with hand canons and shotguns and its the same lovely play style cunts have been doing for 5 years now.

In all fairness there was a tourney this weekend and snipers were quite prevalent. BSK has some absolutely sick snipers. The most common loadout was spare rations and beloved. Top tree warlock with transversive was pretty popular. The super lasts forever and you can use Phoenix dive to peek corners.

What's the deal with Beloved? Eyeing the perks and stats I think it should be a PVE gun but it's everywhere in crucible right now.

I don't remember the reason for tlw but the 140 snipes is because it can kill in two body shots

I'm more interested in trying it because I'm sick of qp. All the lovely maps and infinite supers.

Yeah I know the reason they ban 140s, I still think it's stupid. Its in the same vein as banning titan skating then letting Phoenix dive, in air dodging and hunters roll go as being just part of the class.

It's still definitely worth doing. Private matches are fun as gently caress.

I just don't like how a lot of the rules are geared toward
-play as a hunter
-use handcannon to peek shoot/team shoot
-use shotgun for trades when you have life advantage

Which is how 90% of sweat games usually go.

TLW gets banned because its TTK with 4 body shots is still lower then other hand cannons that get all headshots. That's the reasoning anyway as I understand it.

All the hard counters to aggressive shotgun apeing being banned to me says, we've decided there's the one true way to play this game skillfully.

The DRB bois are getting real salty at the rise of fusions, I got a couple hate messages over the weekend demanding I use a "real gun."

One of them was a game where my team got owned so hard we were mercied, mister diamond elo still felt it was important to sass me about my weapons.

I got one with full bore, accu and opening shot with a range mw and yeah it's a little clunky compared to my usual QD rifles but its incapable of missing the head. Plus the usual double body bullshit if you're in a hurry.

I'm interested to see how exotics interact with Armor 2.0. Will we need to grind out new versions of all the armor pieces we already have, or can they be pulled from collections as 2.0? Will collections have to have two versions of each piece? Will any boots not have Traction as one of their mods?

Just make traction a node in the subclass menu so pissbabies can turn it off if they want and the real hitters can have it left on all the time.

Also bring back Asylum, Firebase Delphi, Cauldron, Thighlight Gap and Rusted Lands.

Also give me some in air accuracy, remove countdown and change it to normal elimination and bring back 3 man trials with cards and boons and increase primary crit damage to people in supers.

The tactic of saving a super for heavy spawn and dive bombing it was super great fun though.

Same except going 3 for 3 with Quiver on that specific box.

I miss D1 ammo pulls. I'd keep D2's treatment of Special but I'd love Heavy to come back exactly as it was. Some of my absolute best and most fun lone wolfing in D1 was on the Heavy box, having to gently caress on squads for couple minutes while they'd try to set up base once everyone else had run off after a pull.

My rose tinted glasses are sitting on my face perfectly.
