Also being a new player, I have won rounds being dead as Kapkan because the last one or two enemies run into my traps. I've been using Blitz on attack, even with shields being wonky I can still do things sometimes.

House is a garbage map though if there is someone on attack playing Glaz.

Kapkan is one of my favorites. I feel like he needs a tweak or two but I still have a lot of fun playing him. In fact, I had this round earlier today.

I've seen people use the "hit it 11 times, and wait to ambush someone" strategy before and it's always funny.

Pretty sure you can also shoot him back, through his own bullet holes - if you're crazy enough to try and pull it off! I saw that happen (successfully) only once I think, although it was a fair while ago, so something may have changed.

Glaz's shots used to blow out the plane windows entirely after several rounds making it an issue if you shot through the same window over and over; you could be countersniped with a 416 back then.

a pro castle strat is to prep each panel with a different number of hits whose combination is known only to you. that way when op4 starts knocking at your door you will be ready to counter them without wasting an impact.

this is of course a great way to get fuzed so always have at least 1 impact ready or prepare to run as far away from the hostage as possible to escape the blast radius

They've changed this back and forth various ways several times. At the moment I don't think you can shoot back out the windows even if Glaz shoots the window (including trying to shoot through the hole).

Upcoming Changes:
- Ash losing the ACOG on her R4
- Mute counters Dokkabei's logic bomb
- Maverick takes longer to switch to/from gadget, may get audio rework
- Capitao's fire is going to go nuts. Larger spread but won't go through objects.
- Lesion's mines do 50% less damage per tick.
- Breaching changes do less damage on the side it was planted on

You can walk into the range of a jammer to hang up now. It was a counter before but now it's a real hard counter.

Ash still has ACOG on G36C, which is not a bad gun either.

Gridlock gets something called "tracks". Mozzie gets a gadget shot from some sort of launcher. I'm guessing it may take over a drone without requiring a kill?

We are aware that the current playstyle for ballistic shields heavily favors direct gunfights instead of teamwork and tactical positioning. We are looking to address it by slowing down the speed of aiming down sights while having a shield equipped.

Hahahahaha. How about making them more effective than wet tissue paper at stopping bullets? Then maybe people would use them to sit around and position themselves instead of rushing in to try and get frags before they get a bullet in the face through three inches of steel and plexiglass.

They're more effective as shields when they're aggressive. The game syncs them better in ADS.

I honestly can't think of any attackers that would really need their ACOG's taken away other than Ash atm. Unless they are just going take it away from all the 3 speeds just for consistancy's sake and for parity with the Defense.

Removing ACOGs on all attacker 3 speeds would own. I remember in the game's first year when people said ACOGs were poo poo and the red dot was the meta, lololol.

Been playing a ton of Apex Legends lately, and honestly I've warmed to the idea of headshots not being a guaranteed instant kill. Siege is already such an arcadey shooter I think it would work. Maybe keep them doing enough damage to instant down/kill three speeds and have everyone else have a chance of surviving depending on the weapon's damage.

It would radically change the meta, but honestly I think it would be for the better.

I'd really like it if they just increased the size / height of a shield by 10-20% or so. Just so they are a bit bigger on the sides and top so you don't feel like you die because someone pressed QE and hit your shoulder or knee or because they were two stairs higher on a stairwell and headshot you over the top.

If they took away all ACOGs from speed 3 attackers, maverick would certainly suffer as it is almost mandatory if you want to see anything in a small blowtorch hole, so he'd have to go to the DMR.

EDIT: Here's a comparison for Ash's guns, they are so drat similar it makes me laugh to think they nerfed it in that way. I think 80 ROF difference is so very minor it might as well not be there. Give it 10 less bullets in the magazine or slight recoil increase or something.



Note: this is with vertical grip and muzzle brake, my go-tos for maximum recoil management. The spray would be slightly more pronounced without those.

Personally, I used the G36C because I think it looked nice with the SPQR skin :v: I generally prefer reflex or red dots for my attackers, with the exception of a couple that I usually like to hang around outside the building to cover windows and things (nomad, maverick, blackbeard).

the 3 armor attacker lady is almost certainly just going to be a mirror to Lesion. normally that sort of homogenization sucks in games like this but Ubi has handled it pretty well all Zofias aside

For what the Seige community has become since launch, i'm really glad the youtube presence for this game isn't interested in the same kinda stuff that-say- The Overwatch crowd is (more lore for the heros, new holiday/seasonal events, a single player mode, etc)

Like i'll take hot takes on operator balance every day over some of the stuff Stylosa pushes out every day on Youtube.

Third Echelon operators confirmed! :D Sam Fisher on attack, being able to destroy lights and use night-vision goggles; in addition to Anna Grimsdottir on defence, who has an ability much like Dok's, revealing where the attackers are.
(Aside from Sam, as he uses an OPSAT for droning instead of a phone; so he's immune, much like Echo is for Dok)

Just wait til they bring in Doug Shetland and his PDA-hiding abilities, when Displace International is added in a few seasons' time... That oughta give Ubi some new inter-op tension material, for their biographies :D
