Holy hell. How much of that is actual new content/files vs. replacing existing files? I find it hard to believe that 2 ops and a new map are that drat big.

New map is cool. Feels like an expanded Oregon or Clubhouse, rather than another square multistorey labyrinth like Villa/Hereford 2.0/Fortress.

Gridlock's ability is fantastic for just throwing all three into the secure area room right before you storm it.

Gridlocks F90 seems pretty good, too. On console I feel like it doesn't bounce around a lot and is pretty easy to control even while moving and shooting.

Her ability is situational, but drat if it isn't great in the right situations.

Just had someone on the attacking team get mad at us for "camping".

Imagine loading up the video game Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege and being frustrated that the team whose job it is to defend a fixed point is then camping said point.

I haven't had a chance to do anything other than play around in Terrorist Hunt but Gridlock seems pretty drat good just for the M249.

Has anyone messed with the extended barrel on Mozzie's P10?

You may or may not be aware that 99% of extended barrels are garbage. They will have a real minor influence: roughly 5 bonus damage per bullet at shooting distances of 30+ meters - it doesn't usually make a difference in time to kill in most gameplay, and more accurate shooting from a muzzle brake is probably more useful to try line up headshots.

There are a couple weird exceptions to this: frost smg and ela shotgun can't have other muzzles besides suppressors, and oddly enough, the long barrel on the p90 removes ranged falloff entirely.

Odds are, the extended barrel for mozzie is very minor. Having said that, I don't have season pass so I don't know if it can have normal muzzles.

TheKingslayer

Yeah it gets the normal stuff on top of that. I honestly didn't know much about their effects since I don't play ops that use them.

extended barrels rule for spawn peeking and are the 2nd best attachment in the game next to silencers. they're also good for doing those across the map flanking/runout attacks for obvious reasons

but yeah if you wanna do small bursts, use the flash hider/vertical foregrip or whater the latest reddit chart says is supposed to be the best for whatever gun you're focusing on. the situations where that benefits the average player are way more common that anything else

at least until you learn exactly what style of tacticality you want to use because almost all of the attachment combos have a use if you know what your goal is.

for example, using a muzzlebreak/acog then switching your rifle to semi-auto will effectively turn it into a dmr sniper rifle evem though the attachment has been mostly popular for basic .308 recoil

angle grip + laser sights are popular for roaming brawlers that hipfire as they aim down the sights. add a silencer to the mix and you'll find flicking headshots to be much easier.

but generally most people just use a vertical grip with no laser because they are already ADS while holding a tight angle

e: also thicc gender/team swapped lesion is good, just not as interesting as mozzie

I don't think Mozzie will get a lot of play beyond the first month tbh. He's cool but he's an intel op that requires the team to change something they've spent the last couple years working on (shooting drones)

Im not gonna lie the 249 is loving hot. Gridlock right now is my new favorite since i love traps and lmgs.


Also throwing traps all over a fortified rooms exits before a fuze bombs the room and ges like 3 kills to win the match is a sublime feeling

The new 2.5x scope that both 249s get is really nice. Looks the same as the one on Kaid/Nomad's pistol.

My 2 factor code stopped working??? I don't know how that's loving possible but I can't log in to my account because of it. Very cool and good program ubi.

edit: it locked me out and told me to wait or change my password. I changed my password (still without a working 2 factor code) and when I tried to log in I was still locked out. Tried again later and it let me log in with the new password and the 2 factor code was working again. Very mysterious. Also why the gently caress am I allowed to change my password without the 2 factor code? Isn't that the entire point of 2 factor????

heard the interior feels like clubhouse without an impenetrable basement and i think this is a pretty accurate description

exterior feels like italy where it mostly forces you to really commit if you want to runout or spawn peek if you aren't camping common breach points
