Yeah Hard has 100% confirmed that it's the highest rank you've achieved in the season and not what you end at.

So I bought the season 2 pass and got 600 renown and was all good and happy. But then someone told me that I should have gotten 1200 for s2 pass since I own s1 pass.

Now I'm still good and happy, but hoping I qualify for another 600 renown windfall. Any truth to this?

Contact customer support and ask them to fix it. You get 600 Rainbux with Season Pass 2 and if you already owned Season Pass one you're supposed to get an extra bonus 600 Rainbux for a total of 1200.

If a room has too many openings then you should pick a more closed off side room to hide in that you can protect the objective room from. Do this in advance if possible and fortify the side room so you don't get surprise by someone breaking in behind you.

IIRC they changed voices to be team only at some point. They weren't originally but they are now. Nearly all other sounds are audible to both teams though including any shuffling you do when you spin around or ADS or whatever.

Tachanka gets a big ol Blackbeard style glass shield around his turret now. ~500hp

Blackbeard's shields reduced from 120 to 60hp. ADS time increased from .2 to .5 seconds.

Smoke can throw his grenades much farther.

Put him behind a deployable shield (which he can bring himself) or any solid waist high cover like a desk and he's gonna be pretty fuckin' hard to dislodge unless you're Capitao.

Oh yeah Hard I forgot to tell you in Mumble earlier:

You know the tunnel in the club basement that ends with the shipping container? When you reinforce the two panels on the shipping container that can be breached they're bugged so that Bandit can't attach his batteries to them. They worked just fine until Red Crow.

Well this is the first game I've refunded on Steam. Nothing I did fixed that error code. Tried tons of different router settings, reinstalled, etc... Unbelievable that this has been out for a year, and there's still 3-4 threads a month on Reddit with this issue. Probably dodged a bullet if that's indicative of the game's quality control.

Sounds like it's too late but did you by chance try taking the router out of the equation by connecting the computer directly to the modem?

Possibly related, is there something I'm doing wrong when it comes to Kapkan traps? It seems like whenever I try to deploy one on a window, I get the prompt in brief flashes. I have to sort of wiggle around the thing I want to trap and hope that I can get the prompt to stick around, and odds are by the time I've got the trap placed, the set-up time is over.

You want to look right at where you want the trap to go and then put it down. Since you can only put traps in the very middle of a window you have to be a little more specific where you look than on a door.

But IMO you should never put Kapkan traps on windows since they're either going to shoot the window open from afar and see the trap from a mile away or they're going to blow it open with a breaching charge and destroy the trap on accident. You'll have a lot more success putting them at varying heights on doors. Forehead height actually works very well on some doors because people are looking down low for traps and don't see the beam about to intersect their face.

Yeah she can only see Pulse when he has his monitor out. She can see Blitz's shield too but they're on the same team so it doesn't really matter. I think you can actually see when someone is holding a gadget out in front of them like a Jager ADS or something but that's pretty rare.

forreal though aside from first minute roaming, it'll be a cool to see more people actually letting the hostage being captured assuming this will be a defensive ability

I think that'd be a very foolish strategy since it takes all of about 5 seconds to secure the hostage once you've picked them up on most maps. By the time you pop out and go "hmmm, it looks like they went thataway!" they'll have won or be so close to winning you'll have to pull off a hell of a shot to down them before they reach the secure area.

I hope it's a big pop up cage trap. Like you step on it like a Frost trap but instead of downing you it just makes it so you can't walk out of like a 3x3 area, can still shoot and everything.

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.

Yeah I kind of agree, he just kind of throws the basic damage mechanics out the window and it's really just not a good idea.

He'd probably be acceptable if they un-nerfed his guns and left his shield the way it is though.
