They are pretty decent to put on windows like Maps Office where you can shoot anyone trying to breach them from skybridge / the other building. On Oregon in the basement I usually castle off the construction site entrance and annex the concrete room. You can get 3 castle barricades in a row they have to get through if they insist on going through there.

Echo is really powerful for area denial if you are doing it right. I hit the enemy with it, then immediately detach from ceiling and reposition it before hitting them again. Unless they get pretty lucky they don't find it and end up just living with it and dying, or abandoning the entire area.

Also if you aren't taking the shotgun for your secondary weapon you are missing out on some utility. You can make your own drone holes.

Pretty much this.

A thing I've brought up to the sound guys is to be able to differentiate an ATK using his drone from a DEF going on cam. It's the same sound and i'm always like '' hum guys, did any one of you just went on cams/drone?''

Another thing to the pile i guess.

If this is something desirable maybe they shouldn't all be using the same smartphone. It wouldn't make sense for them to have different sounds unless you make the guy yell out LETS HAVE A LOOK AT THIS DRONE THEN.

Also is "placing claymore B)" voice line team only? If not that is a bit awkward.

How does heavy barrel interact with weapons? does it up the recoil? Trying to suss out how to run Frost with her SMG cause I think she's cool. I suck at this game though.

It doesn't do anything except decrease damage falloff at range. It sort of does "up the recoil" as you can't put a recoil reducing attachment on the barrel if you are using it.

It also makes your gun a lot longer so it can be seen around corners much more easily.

The MP5SD damage is so low and you already have a SMG in the secondary slot. There's not really a reason to use it over a utility shotgun.

The Hibana Rifle is probably just me being weird but I always have problems with the 20 round magazine size. I do a lot of suppressive firing normally and usually wonder where my extra 10 bullets are. (I usually am Fuze with a machine gun) I usually take the shotgun for her as well.


Re: how do I use Fuze MG, ideally you never want to be firing it directly at a person as a reaction. Find out where the enemy is, then just hold down mouse1 through walls/floor/cover if you are 66%+ sure someone is there.

It's getting into unplayable territory where I:

1) go to barricade a door and change my mind because I'm under fire
2) teleport into the room the enemies are in
3) somehow rubber band out of it and then teleport back into the doorway i was barricading
4) teleport again and have my characters hands fly up intro the air as he barricades the door in (1) from 2 doors down the hallway. The barricade is completed. Somehow it gets done.

Maybe they'll get Blackbeard right this time.

IMO There's no right for Blackbeard while his ability is to at some level negate upper body shots. Anything over useless will immediately move into "too strong". I think they made a big mistake putting him into the game, realised it, but don't know how to un-make him in a way that won't piss everyone off.

Termy - can eat wood to create murder holes silently and regain health. Takes double damage from toxic gas bombs as he is a bug. There is a 1/9 chance per season that he is removed from the game, as he is a bug, but if that happens he can return each season (1/3 chance)

I don't think so. I tried it once and it was down but not stapled and I was still killed.

It definitely does block bullets. One of my team's uhh, "tactics" is to suppress the enemy and then immediately have castle (usually me) run up and put it up. You can hear the bullets smacking into the barricade as the enemies full auto trying to kill you. I almost never die doing it. I made some videos of it but it's so commonplace now I don't bother recording it.

I had someone last night give me some decent information about an incoming enemy but then didn't approve of my ambush location and started abusing me while the enemy was approaching while giving no alternatives. :v:

Also "Throw your smoke, Smoke" from a spectator with no indication of where it should be going or where the enemy was spotted is not helpful.

I always use the revolver on whoever can take it. It's very useful as a medium range weapon paired with the shotgun. You can do some serious damage with it if the enemy is unaware of you and they are outside shotgun range, like through a drone hole or whatever.

My favourite castle zone is construction entrance to basement on Oregon. You can force them through all 3 castle barricades while shooting at their feet and throwing impact grenades the entire way, and if it's just ash she sometimes gets stuck at barricade 3 after wasting her 2 breach rounds and just leaves and goes home.
