yeah heat RPGs, claymores, and a SAW with everything unlocked have pushed my KD in Battlebit up to 1.77. engineer is just incredible

also I unlocked the FLIR last night and I can see it being good on DMRs but it has a short battery and a lag effect on top of normal medium scope problems that make it quite difficult to use with an automatic weapon

I encountered a red vagrant using DSCM back before DS1 had functional multiplayer in 2015 or something, and at the time the DSCM web of players maxed out at something like 15, and at the time I was connected to like seven other worlds. given the circumstances required to produce a vagrant I tried doing the math once on the likelihood of one making its way through everything required AND the limited connections of DSCM and couldn’t figure it out specifically beyond suspecting i encountered the most rare permutation of a vagrant statistically possible to encounter

nah they’re so rare in DS1 these days you should always attack them imo, and that was def not scripted or anything you ran into an authentic anomaly

imo the most reliable way to improve your k/d in battlebit is to just get better at not being shot. every once and a while i can kill a bunch of people in close quarters but more often than not i die the instant that i see them because of the super low ttk and netcode. you really just have to rely on getting the drop on people and keeping where the enemy team might be in mind. like idk how many nerds I've shot while they were running along the crest of a hill instead of like 5 feet further down where I couldn't see them

idk but it seems important for doing damage at a distance. the stats are pretty baffling tbh, a lot of stuff is ostensibly an objective downgrade but in practice merely feels different. I think the low TTK makes a lot of stuff less relevant than it might initially appear? still trying to break myself of the “look for biggest green and slap it on there” habit

I think ea is so incompetent and in disarray these days they can’t even manage to buy out small studios anymore. that is not a bad thing though

so either Embracer Group or Microsoft

although I think Embracer’s plans was to buy up a bunch of equity holdings hoping they could sell it to Microsoft or Sony anyways for $$$$$$
