surely getting rid of shuffle is going to hurt their skin sales. i do prefer global weapon skins and emotes tho

Huh? What?


i wouldnt mind it being separate if there was a way to link skin and weapon skin loadouts together still, for me its more just annoying fiddling to have to manually swap two different loadouts any time i want to look different :sigh:

Same. I had about 20 presets, and I only use about 5 of them. But I do like to change every few matches. I'm still waiting on the queue as I post, so I don't know how it works yet. But I'll probably end up just playing as one load out until I can be bothered to set up a whole new guy again.

I do not expect, want, or like for them to separate every one of my presets into multiple saved sets that all have to be loaded individually. It defeats the entire purpose of creating a saved preset in the first place.

Apparently shuffles is just broken but I hate that they've separated the character appearance from the preset emotes. I chose those dances for this skin for a reason!

Changing wraps to global instead of per character slot wtf why? I had each character set up with skins that matched their color scheme. And emotes per character. This sucks.

Enjoying it already

Love the train

I think the presets do need to be more granular though. I use random weapon skins on nearly every preset and the same emotes on nearly every one, but for the ones I've really made unique, it was for a very good reason

At first I was going to assume it's alot of server stuff. But I played again a few hours later, with 1/10th the queue time. And it was still just as bad. I swear the only way to describe it is like the torso of my character feels like it weighs a ton, and the legs are made of rubber. I kept getting weird momentum off of stuff like destructible objects on the floors in buildings. I didn't get to try the grapple hooks, even though I picked up a bunch, so I have no idea how the movement items feel yet. But nothing about the on foot movement feels good.

I had one bug (I assume) come up where I was opening the caches. And both of the ones I tried had this thing where after a set amount of the meter, it would make my entire screen fade to black. And then just come back again in an instant. I think it did it 3 times on each. And distance from it didn't seem to change anything.

Also, since I was complaining about it earlier. The locker stuff isn't as bad as I imagined it would be. But it still isn't great. I can live with a few more clicks to change my load outs for now. But the way things were before was perfect already. I saw people on another forum saying it's so it feels better on console or mobile. But I hope it gets reverted.

It doesnt feel better on console. If I want the combo of character skin + emotes + wraps that I had previously customized like 30 slots of, I now have to pick a character, then find the saved emotes and select, then find the saved wraps and select. Oh and first Id have to painstakingly name each one so I could easily find what goes with what. All of which was accomplished with one click before. Its absurd.

Ballistic shields don't really budge all that readily do they? Me and another play had a duel with them and I wasted a hundred rounds trying to knock it out of the way, ran out of bullets before they did and the couple times I brought it out against somebody else they just didn't have an answer if I crouched.

You can shoot at the feet but that seemed erratic in it's efficacy.

I completely agree, and I have over double the presets you mentioned. It's terrible. I'm not as attached as some, because I just don't switch when all I really want to do is play. However, I keep seeing people saying they don't want to play at all anymore because of this. If that's true, the changes are hurting the product.

Sniper/Ballistic is the meta.

They reduced crouch speed by 43% and regular walk speed by 30ish%

Thankful that I've always been satisfied to set all of my character locker slots to Shuffle after favouriting the cosmetics I like, this lobby UI has been butchered so badly I'd have a conniption if I had to wrestle with presets.

I could just be silly but I'm very satisfied with the new movement. I'm not sure how much of it is in how the animation system itself has been reworked, but it feels weightier in a way I find very satisfying, made even better by the improved movement mechanics. Hurdling being back is great and I love that it seems to finally understand how to negotiate high-up windows and stuff.

Another thing I'm noticing is that season is LOUD. Footsteps, including yours, sound louder. As the post above notes you feel heavier possibly as an effect of being slower generally, gunshots are bang bang BANG and reloads are rattly and clickity clack.

Feels meaty, I like it.

On top of that, if you are someone crazy like me who had all 100 locker slots customized, now enjoy scrolling down each list very slowly to the bottom for the ones on that end, since now it is just two per row.

It is bad.

Yeah what’s the gun mod meta? Anyone have that nailed down yet? I generally go with what I think is useful, but there are clearly some very OP unintuitive builds happening.

I’ve been absolutely shredded in a fraction of a second by a gun that shouldn’t work like that

Don't worry, the storm got hella buffed, you're not THAT slow.

And as for the bad gun I can confirm it's a smg with no recoil, i won a match by bursting three consecutive bullets in the face of a guy in a rooftop shootout. He was on the rooftop on the other side of the street...
In my defence, he had the same gun.

weird, I actually like the movement changes? the speeds are different to get used to but it feels much better imo.

this locker poo poo is annoying though doubly so with shuffle gone. they even deleted the keybind to favorite anything, you have to click on a stupid dot menu to favorite
the only thing i'm okay with is the emotes tbh i was too lazy to update emotes on every locker set when i got a new one i wanted to use

I think there’s a mod for guns called “Cover Fire” that equates to them making GBS threads bullets at like 2-3x the rate. It’s less accurate but if you’re close enough, it will shred. I got dropped in a fraction of a second by a guy with one.

I don't know that there's a list of what mods and combinations give what names, but as far as I've found:

- Cover Fire means a drum mag is installed, for more ammo in each magazine
- Run and Gun means an underbarrel laser, for more accuracy when hipfired

I think Covert Ops means a suppressor is installed and Ambush means there's an angled foregrip as well.
