Watching people play on Twitch, and this isn't having the environmental destruction that I was hoping for. Players are not really engaging with this mechanic at all actually.

Well there's your problem: you're probably watching a competitive streamer that doesn't wanna have fun when- and I think I'm using this phrase correctly- "going for the W". Or are they leveling buildings for the gently caress of it?

Either way, I might get in to the beta... for about two days. Family trip. Any word on when the beta goes until?

Fair point! In future updates of the game during beta, I hope there will be more encouragement to level buildings to the ground in order to win. In this regard Fortnite does environment destruction better.

Yeah, like if I were to level this building, the enemy snipers have to reposition. Or do it like how Siege teased and gimme a sledge hammer to break through a 2nd story floor, guns out etc.

I would take out anything that uses bullets, and only give players weapons like rocket launchers that eject mini-nuclear bombs.

Trying to play heavy in Bank It kinda sucks. I think mobility is mostly king in that game mode. Playing heavy in the quick cash mode does seem useful cause you don't need to be zipping all over the place all the time.

Other than that it's been pretty fun so far

I'd say for Bank It, go Medium with the Medic stuff or Light with SMGs/Melee. I remember having a Light partner in Bank It once. They opted for solely killing with the sniper as far from any vaults as possible.

We wound up dead last. Don't snipe in Bank It.

That said, I opt to plant mines or flashbang the point. Good luck stealing when the gas hits.

But then again, last night I saw more shields/turrets/loving sonar nades in the matches. I think people got stuff unlocked by now.

I played a match of Bank It on Monaco against a team that would have a sniper pick off people in transit and a pair of lights with grapple to yoink the coins. Hard to say if that was actually more effective than doing literally anything else with a premade though

Well that's the thing: the sniper's being used near the point here instead of far away from both Vaults. Stick and move, etc.

Anything different from the beta? I'm just gonna finish up Tribes 3 before I become The Finals contestant #42069.

And as a reminder, if you're on comms, call your flashes and gasses.

As an aside, I was trying for the Block Damage weekly with Medium's Riot Shield and I think that weekly only counts goo blocks. Also how the hell should I Riot Shield in the first place, else I'm sticking with the AKM and its sicknasty punch Tac Reload I got off the BP.

In the Vegas map you can take out the buildings support columns with the sledgehammer and it'll collapse the casino. I was pretty shocked they let you do that, typically in games they'll make these support column invincible or just have the destruction not work like reality.

Very cool!

Duly noted for if I need to suddenly level Not Binion's or Not Four Queens.

But yeah, I was also surprised that you could drop those hanging platforms with the cashout spot on it you sometimes get. Went from "okay just gotta hang tight for a bit" to "gently caress ME EVERYTHINGS BREAKING".

Also note: sometimes Vegas gets a blackout condition. poo poo's the good kinda uneasy when suddenly no neons.

For sure. I always forget this is even an option until I catch an elbow in the face. I really need to rebind it because V mid firefight is a bit awkward.

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 :v:

You ever get those sudden moments where your back hurts



I think I (Howard the Fucc) had a moment where my sack hurt :haw:

But yeah nah I tried Riot Shield again when I saw I had two Lights (Throwing Knives/Sword) and uh huh melee really loves bonking people with low self-preservation

I got filled into an empty team mid-game and accepted my mission to make the other two teams as miserable as possible :hai:

Honestly the right thing to do.

My only issue is that some dailies require me to specifically steal a cashout. Can't do that in Bank It sadly.

If it weren't for missions like that, I'd absolutely mainline Bank It more.

Random thought into the void. Calling the C4'd up canisters Nukes is uninspired. We should be calling them Boom Boxes.

Or a Dutch Oven if you C4 up a green canister :v:
