VLK is unbelievably good in one situation: Shipment

Other than that, meh

Sometimes I run it as a secondary in indoor-heavy maps

Basically any shotgun is stupid good in shipment though. Maaaaybe not the 680. Maaaybe. The pumping takes too long for the frantic pace of the map, and it doesn’t have the option for a quick follow up shot like the R9-0 does. But any other shotgun will run all over the other team nearly effortlessly.

I really need to mix up my shotgun selection more, though, I basically only use the R9-0 these days.

Ran into a legit hacker in my first game. Lock on headshots in core mode, was like 30+ kills and zero deaths within a minute or so. Next highest was uh, like 4 kills. Report him but welp.

edit: What gun is a one shot kill to the chest? It was some silenced semi-auto (maybe?) gun.

Sniper gulag is a win for me 9 out of 10 times. Just rush them and melee with your rifle, it takes two hits but you always get the first hit out of surprise, so you'll win even if they start to melee back.

Usually I suck in the gulag so I like snipers.

I tried out the 680 for the first time using the “muck and mire” blueprint in hardcore and I swear to god I could not miss with that and being hardcore would just oneshot everything.

It was only good on tighter maps like crash, hardhat etc but even on cheshire there are some good spots to wait for folks to run around a corner and boom.

The combo of pellet spread and hardcore deadliness makes it very potent indeed. Now I just want to unlock dragon’s breath rounds.

I'm yet to have that work. Either I get 360 quick scoped by a monster energy drink golem, or the other person has the same idea and hits me in the face with a molotov.

I'm not loyal to anything, General... except the dream.
It seems like doing some damage to someone from a heli side-seat, then jumping out and downing and killing them after leaving the copter credits you for 'get kills or assists while in a vehicle' challenges, which makes them a little easier and more fun.

I was getting bizarre anti-aliasing that might not show in a screenshot well. What's the easiest way to get video into something I can post?

I had white showing through where doors met, weird diagonal shading glitches that moved as I did. Distant objects kind of melted together into a jagged mess.

Now it's, like, clean.

What barrel do you use the most? I just unlocked the 14” and it adses p fast but the 18” seems to have the edge in hitting a bit further out without a choke. Haven’t gotten whatever the next barrel is though.

I run the 680 with the 30" barrel, DB, the big rear end suppressor and no stock.

still get to VTOL on shipment at least once a game. shipment becomes significantly easier to do well on if you stop sprinting everywhere and only use spring to get away from poo poo.

but yeah if you havent got 5-10 kills before you have to reload you are in for a bad time.

With the mags, the barrel option is removed, so I use a mono suppressor or choke depending on which one looks best with my particular setup. Before that (or if I'm not using mags) I stuck to the 18" liberator.

Yes. In case you haven't figured it out from the spawns being like this for every CoD game since the dawn of time, it's intentional.

Any negative shotgun opinions I have are strictly warzone related. I find them all to range from decent to great in multi.

The amount of time it takes to down someone in WZ with a VLK is comical. I'm pretty sure an X16 will win every time against it. It is absolutely cursed.

Pretty sure you can 2 shot kill with the fire VLK in warzone.

Man, Cheshire Park sure is just a really bad map, huh?

Way too exposed on every lane, so many corners to hole up in and just never move, the only chance for close combat is the buildings at either end people just hole up in with snipers, and the hardpoint locations are universally garbage.

Haven't played since the day the new path of exile league dropped

Went in today, managed to pull like a 0.5kd in every game I played. Every kill, died to someone locking on the yellow "you" tag through a wall, after blatantly locking 1-2+ other people first

KD before was only 1.04mp (thanks damascus grind) / 1.6wz... this is like, 2015 CSGO levels of bad. Every single match, blatant cheats. Did something go wrong on the anticheat?

I like Cheshire Park. It's not that hard to clear the lanes if your team isn't absolutely terrible. Smoke, FMJ the obvious sniper nests, go the other way around and flank, etc. Most of the center of the map like the main courtyard, and the building/small courtyard on opposite sides, is fairly close.

I was playing HC last night and cheshire park was great. I was using a Syd skin and I swear she blends in really well both skin tone and outfit in the pub, I had several people walk right by and not spot me so I would kali stick/680 them from behind. Others would come in and not see me and seemingly ignore the pile of bodies and then join them :haw:
