It's interesting, I can't think of the last time I played an FPS that didn't have some sort of holdout weapon alongside a primary. Even a terrible pistol. Here your secondary weapons are all the gadgets and grenades you have, but it is unusual to think "oh I'm actually out out of bullets til I reload".

Whether you like BP is another thing all together but some of these rewards are sick as hell. I especialy like hte machine gun that is also a straight up roulette wheel or the sledgehammer which becomes a loving guitar lol

Yeah dress up is really on point in this game. Its funny to compare to other game cosmetics which often feel way less nifty.

In 600 games so I empty my clip and go "oh gently caress that's right".

A sort of grenade sidearm lol

Man it's a shame the BP is time limited, I might have purchased it otherwise. Can't do anything that makes me treat gaming like an obligation, tho. Game is still good and they fixed the most egregious stuff from the beta, really enjoying it.

I just rebinded it to one of my thumb mouse buttons. Also this probably is a good case for running a melee instead of a gun: no need to reload

After going for a random "deal melee damage" challenge I'm now completely hammerbrained for the heavy. It's surprisingly capable in a stand-up fight because the damage is really chunky (one-hitting a light never gets old  ), but more than that it gives you remarkable mobility for a heavy. You basically no longer have to care about map geometry at all, you can just go pretty much anywhere you want to in a straight line.

I had so much fun playing the Demolition game mode in Red Faction: Guerilla with my friends. I would love a destruction based game mode in this because it really is extremely cool to see a whole loving building collapse in front of you.

sledgehammer is probably mostly a gimmick but maybe it's actually competitively viable in niche situations where you are assaulting a heavily set up point and you just need to cause maximum destruction to the environment and use utility to yoink at the last second i've had situations where i have a great overlook on the point but the roofs and everything collapses all around the cashout and act as a giant protective shield making me unable to stop it

with the sledgehammer is best to treat players like cash boxes smack the floor out from under them and deliver them to your fun party house protip use RMB when you wanna break walls n stuff. LMB isnt nearly as good at it.

be aware that when you group, the game very likely averages out the SBMM or goes with the SBMM of the highest rated player. this can be very frustrating for the lower rated player, even if they know what's going on. my advice would be to stick with your teammates if you're in an SBMM lobby higher than your rating. I solo queued a bunch in quickplay and the sweaty SBMM led to a lot of good totally rando [mute] teammates using teamwork and utility. pretty good experience overall

Yes it demonstrates that AA has an effect in a wide range around the target, but most of the time the aim was still way off target. It was only really bad when they were right up on the target and it was dragging the crosshair on target off the hip. More my question would be how well it works at long range, but also how aggressive the recoil compensation is. A game like this with a fixed recoil pattern for each gun puts a lot into compensation for that pattern, and if the AA turns it into a laser that is an issue. Jenny Agutter posted:you can put a breaching charge on a canister then carry it with you for a airburst rocket launcher You can do the same thing with a sentry gun if you want a pick up and go buddy. So long as no one shoots the canister. CuddleCryptid fucked around with this message at 14:10 on Dec 12, 2023 |

The guns in this feel like they kick all over the place compared to CoD and the like, and you definitely have to compensate with the right stick. Took me a bit to get used to after playing a lot of MW2, where you'd tune your guns to only have vertical recoil and then just hold down a touch on the stick to keep them perfectly on target.

Yeah that's generally how it works in games with fixed recoil patterns, all the guns are made of rear end and recoil but since the recoil is perfectly predictable you can manually compensate for it if you are good. I play on mouse so it's a matter of tracing the pattern each time you hold down the trigger, but I don't know how well that works on controller. Sounds like not super well.

The only real advantage in starting the box in cashout is getting to choose the vault location; which can pretty important if you or an enemy team has a preferred engagement range.

Played a couple rounds with friends last night, thankfully the guy in the group who hadn't played before and doesn't play a lot of competitive shooters got a game winning last minute steal and just started yelling I THINK I LIKE THE FINALS, BOYS! so that was fun. I went with the Heavy/Sledge for the first time and holy poo poo that is a good time in close range. Completely awful when you're caught in the open and you have no ranged options but when it's good it's real good.
