battlefield-2042

[royal swan]

It's literally a disadvantage now,

[stiff pollen]

so youd need to grind 25-30 levels in xp alone

[royal swan]

To go on a drone

[tepid agate]

Okay so 7-8 things unlocked a week

[royal swan]

Or any high places and be stationary

[tepid agate]

20 tiers can save me what, 3-4 weeks of playing?

[royal swan]

The railgun just takes them as easy kills

[dire quest]

I mean the first 20 tiers are the easiest

[tepid agate]

@hexed mango can you share a photo of the 20 tiers offer I game?

[proven igloo]

Going to be easier with the xp boosts

[dire quest]

2042 xp boosts better than cod too since only countdown in-game

[stiff pollen]

xp boosts activate automatically too

[tepid agate]

I literally try doing missions as fast as I can then stop playing. Spotting mission? Be Casper and whip out the drone. Revive people? When I die switch to Falck

Can usually get them done in maybe 3-4 games

[dire ibex]

hate the charging sound of the railgun

I want to pierce my ears

[lilac dust]

Good Morning! What's the consensus on the railgun so far? I heard they nerfed it right after the creator preview event

[tepid agate]

Never used it lol it it is a mission task in the future I'll give it a go

[dire ibex]

surprisingly unfun

play the crossbow or NTW if you want to meme

[stiff pollen]

if they did, GOOD

every creator told them both in person and online that its gonna ruin the game

[dire ibex]

it's pathetic that they need other people to tell them some obvious things

[tepid agate]

What was supposed to be the other map rework this season with breakthrough?

[dire ibex]

oil rig movement

[stiff pollen]

breakway and the container map

[tepid agate]

It's a new studio team

[dire quest]

Breakaway* and manifest

[tepid agate]

Ah yes manifest. Thanks

[dire ibex]

I'm no studio 🤓

[dire quest]

Manifest in December, breakaway and class rework in January

[stiff pollen]

railguns in any game that have bullet velocity mechanics should be considered a slippery slope

[proven igloo]

Its a great time to T1 Irish

My god

[dire ibex]

now t1 boris and get his achievement

[tepid agate]

Man they need to introduce a new map at the heights of exposure. That map popped off like crazy seems the recent one and the ship one are not as good as some base maps already

[dire ibex]

I miss old, proper map names

instead of wanting to sound cool

[stiff pollen]

operation ass crack

[tepid agate]

Old maps are ibportal

[dire ibex]

for example, yes

[hexed mango]

stranded and spearhead are so much better than most base maps

[tepid agate]

I don't think so. Orbital and manifest are better imo

[lilac dust]

You heard it here first folks. Orbital and manifest = Most of the base maps

[hexed mango]

orbital after rework sure, but stranded and spearhead are still on par with those and far better than any other maps

[lilac dust]

🤣

[dire ibex]

is there a reworked map that is worse than the best pre-rework map in your opinion?

[tepid agate]

How many were ther like 6 base maps? Lol

[lilac dust]

7

[stiff pollen]

7

they said its cause they were the largest in bf history

[hexed mango]

hourglass, breakaway, discarded, renewal, kaleido do not stack up even close to spearhead or stranded

[stiff pollen]

and everyone said thats cool and all but the maps suck

[tepid agate]

I try to think if any ore are better

[dire ibex]

large emptiness

[tepid agate]

Snow map no,

[dire ibex]

large map are all ass

[tepid agate]

Dessert no

[stiff pollen]

orbital and manifest were considered the best cause they were the smallest

[hexed mango]

Desert*

[dire ibex]

just look at bfv

[tepid agate]

My man

[hexed mango]

Dessert = food

[tepid agate]

Ship in India ... Debatable

[dire ibex]

wide plains of nothingness

[tepid agate]

What other 3 maps I miss?

[dire ibex]

[gloomy otter]

Man for some reason recently the game feels like it's optimized really week after this update

[dire ibex]

"really well"?

words are dangerous

[gloomy otter]

Well

[hexed mango]

i listed them all

[dire ibex]

I was capable of having discord open this time, so it's not a step back

[still solstice]

how do the display of level display season level?

[dire ibex]

just say container map, description can be used for any

[arctic grove]

not really, not if it actually runs well for them

[gloomy otter]

Let's say with my 3060 in medium to high settings I usually get around 65-70 fps but now after the update I get around 80 to 90

[hexed mango]

hourglass, discarded, manifest, kaleido, orbital, breakaway and renewal are the base maps

[hexed mango]

what cpu

[gloomy otter]

No minor shit stutter in the menu, neither in game

[dire ibex]

false, we're talking about optimization, not what is actually running

[gloomy otter]

Ryzen 7 5800H

[dire ibex]

:^)

[hexed mango]

makes sense

[tepid agate]

Ah okay so base maps

Orbital and Manifest are better than season 2 & 3 new maps

India ship one is debatable

Kaleidoscope, snow map and desert are worse naps

[arctic grove]

cant tell if this is irony or if people asked for more cover on the maps just to complain that they used an asset that does the job just fine

[hexed mango]

my i7 10th is able to get 100fps now but fucking takes up 99% util

[dire ibex]

too many containers, but a cheap way of improving is better than none

[hexed mango]

i would debate they are on par. manifest and orbital are good, but spearhead and stranded are more fun, especially for bt

[gloomy otter]

Let's all ask the basic questions ladies and gentlemen, will we be free in 2042 in real life? 😔

[hexed mango]

english 500

[tepid agate]

Maybe we speak highly of exposure because it was so long since we got content and the base maps were poor

[gloomy otter]

Yes

[tepid agate]

Or maybe it's really that good

[hexed mango]

exposure is a good map

[tepid agate]

Yea so I think season 4 they need to hit the level of exposure

[arctic grove]

you got what you asked for, im cool with it as long as im not getting sniped across the maps again, again, does exactly what we wanted

[dire ibex]

exposure was designed like a battlefield map, that's why people liked it - all other maps were designed as - literally forgot bootleg BR mode name

[tepid agate]

That's stands out to the rest imo

[hexed mango]

spearhead tbh is my personal favorite out of the 3

[next onyx]

The gpu is better utilised now too.

[dire ibex]

I asked for so many things 😓

[next onyx]

The game looks better yet runs the same graphics wise.

Actually pretty good job there

[arctic grove]

day 9523959235932509325032 of me asking them for AI skins

[hexed mango]

yet my game is still choppy even tho i get 100fps

[dire ibex]

I miss the feeling of optimization BF1 had

[next onyx]

Talking about AI skins.

[gloomy otter]

++++

[next onyx]

The new falck skin has that U.S helmet.

[gloomy otter]

Lmaoo

[dire ibex]

like, BF1 felt surreal how good it ran for the graphics

[gloomy otter]

Yea

[dire ibex]

it was just

[gloomy otter]

As a flack main I liked it

[next onyx]

Good art style with good tricks.

[arctic grove]

oh yea i actually saw that, i love that skin im glad they made it

[next onyx]

Yeah I'm a zain main now.

[tepid agate]

@next onyx is there an in-game photo you can share of the deal to skip 20 tiers?

[dire ibex]

now real question - when will we get all chat back?

[proven igloo]

I just want baseline battlefield destruction, I'd trade away the tornadoes if that's what it would take.

[gloomy otter]

Btw 23 of NNN, Flack kinda seems thicc

[next onyx]

I don't know xeno.

[dire ibex]

when will the game become social again?

[lilac dust]

Name something more annoying than trying to vault over the curved edges of the roofs of the cubes. I'll wait

[next onyx]

Sloth!

Been a bit!

[hexed mango]

if you have the bp you cant view the deals

[arctic grove]

im fine with destruction if it doesnt make the map shit, like destructible cover elements on objectives, i hate that

[tepid agate]

Oh I guess I have it as I got it at launch

[dire ibex]

anyway, I'll leave again

[tepid agate]

So no chance to skip?

[arctic grove]

people want destruction until it makes a map worst to play on

[next onyx]

Bf5's soft and hard cover would be nice.

[hexed mango]

the deal?

[arctic grove]

Crouch run

[dire ibex]

would still not recommend the game but I only want to scoop one of my eyes out nowadays instead of both

[arctic grove]

kk

[ivory canopy]

I unlocked the target scope for the AC-42 and now it's kickass

[next onyx]

Crouch running, ledge grabbing, etc.

[tepid agate]

I don't know I bought the middle price battlefield at launch

[proven igloo]

It's just a massive mood kill when you try to blow up a wall that would be destructible in past games to find out it isn't.

[hexed mango]

if you have gold or ult you are given the bp included, but not the 20 tiers
the 20 tiers is a separate pack you have to get each season

[dire ibex]

not a big fan of crouch running

[stiff pollen]

oh btw you can change the airburst range on the new spec's gadget by using the change fire rate key

[dire ibex]

but it wasn't bad

[ivory canopy]

Oh - THAT'S how you do it

[dire ibex]

lying on your back was somethign shit though

[acoustic island]

I like this new rail gun

[hexed mango]

yeah it says on your screen

[tepid agate]

Ah so I can't use boins to speed up progression 😕

[dire ibex]

insanity

[ivory canopy]

I would have expected it to be F

[stiff pollen]

it auto does it when you ads in and its honestly more accurate that way

[arctic grove]

yeah i think walls can be fine, im just saying i'd rather like way said them do a mix of hard and soft cover, some destructible while some isnt, i hope the devs dont get this stigma that they have to put destruction wherever possible, cause i can already see the issues itll cause

[stiff pollen]

but if you need to change it in ads you can do that

[next onyx]

I got the railgun to tier 1. It's fun but at the same time it's not for me.

[hexed mango]

yeah i mentioned it to sam that v was a weird key

[dire ibex]

....why?

[acoustic island]

Rail gun probably won’t be my main but more of a screw around weapon

[dire ibex]

it's been one day

[next onyx]

My V is a melee key cause black ops 1.

Why not?

[hexed mango]

isnt that default

[next onyx]

Cool railgun.

[dire ibex]

how much time did you pour into that

[ivory canopy]

I knew it had it in ADS but I was trying to figure out what did it while ADS. Thanks for the tip

[hexed mango]

nvm

mw2 melee messing with me

[next onyx]

No f is default melee.

[ivory canopy]

Railgun to T1 already?

[arctic grove]

btw sloth i wasnt talking about u in this message i mean in general

[dire ibex]

can't believe it's such a downgrade to the rorsch mk1

😔

[arctic grove]

well considering s3 dropped today it really only takes a few REALLY dedicated hours on top of already being good at the game

[next onyx]

I dunno really. I couldn't sleep for the entire night due to stress, turned the game on. Found servers and got it done.

[arctic grove]

T1ing guns isnt hard but you do have to know what youre doing

[next onyx]

It's pretty snazzy too.

[hexed mango]

i just cant play 2042 for that long cause it fucks up my pc

[arctic grove]

is the stock purple? or is that just a lighting thing

[next onyx]

Light.

[arctic grove]

ohh

[hexed mango]

lighting

[next onyx]

That glow when you get it

I plan on doing the pistol first.

[arctic grove]

ah that glow ye ik what youre talking about

[tepid agate]

2042 need to educate new players that a death results in a loss of a ticket. Same old same old people tend to die as fast as they can and moreso do t wait to be revived

[next onyx]

But now that I have my medication I'm gonna crash for an hour and get the new pistol done next.

[dire ibex]

only got one t1 gun, being ntw

[west raft]

That is the most

[arctic grove]

i t1d the M5A3 and SFAR without even trying, i just really like to use em

[next onyx]

Yeah same.

[west raft]

Insane thing I've ever heard

[next onyx]

I got the scar to tier 1 pre buff.

And got it to 25k post buff.

M5a3 is a fun gun too.

[dire ibex]

disgusting

[arctic grove]

i'd say its pretty broken rn too cause the headshot buff

[next onyx]

And the XM8 MG is my new favourite gun.

Yeah though it's been toned back.

Which is good.

[arctic grove]

oh has it?

i probably skimmed over it in the patch notes

[next onyx]

Yeah the scar has a 49m 4hk range now.

Instead of 74.

They also nerfed the avancys.

But the best part of it all?

[arctic grove]

didnt they also reduce v/hrec for some of the vault guns?

[next onyx]

They reverted the pistol HS multiplier back to 2x.

The g57 now does 28 damage out to 29 metres.

They even buffed the m1911.

[placid echo]

I finally got Angel to T1, I rarely use him

[lilac dust]

That would explain why I got outgunned by a G57 while using MP9

[dire ibex]

I wish angel was buffed, no one uses him anymore since the armour thing

[next onyx]

Same. I stopped using him when I got him to tier 1

[dire ibex]

I hate armour

[lilac dust]

Still a skill issue tho

[tepid agate]

I still have dozer, Liz, the bald guy from season 2 and the latest one lol

[next onyx]

The new pistol looks cracked.

Zains health regen is so damn good.

I'm already 555 kills in for his XM370.

[royal swan]

Bro not sure how way got t1 on the railgun, but you need to stop and take a day break from games

Like it's concerning

[tepid agate]

His life let him spend his time how he likes 😆

[next onyx]

I literally only just started playing the game again yesterday after a break.

[hexed mango]

its been glitchy for me tho... i would be at 50hp and get a kill, and i wouldnt heal
or if i got injured in a fight, and lets say the enemy shot as I killed him, and then i got hit by that shot after i got the kill, since i was damaged during healing, it fucking cancels

[royal swan]

Not even a full 24 hours and you t1 the railgun

[lunar finch]

Wait i skimmed through the patch notes... the MCS handles like an actual shotgun now...

[wide hull]

shotgun nerf is so bad

[dapper river]

pain

[hexed mango]

its still ass

[wide hull]

12m is awful now its so bad

[lunar finch]

:(

[wide hull]

my main weapon now useless

[royal swan]

Skill issue

[stiff pollen]

wait did they nerf the 12m

[next onyx]

Marse tested the 880 with 00 buckshot.

[hexed mango]

good

[royal swan]

Yep

[dire ibex]

12m?

[hexed mango]

12m shouldnt exist

[dire ibex]

the saiga?

[royal swan]

They did nerf the 12m

[next onyx]

Apparently it's weaker.

[wide hull]

12m slugs are bad now too

[royal swan]

It was a stealth change

[stiff pollen]

they stealth nerfed it?

wtf

[lunar finch]

W

[wide hull]

hipfire on buckshot and flechette is garbage too now

[hexed mango]

W

[arctic grove]

jesus 🗿

[royal swan]

W

[dapper river]

too bad, I already T1'd it, and just before the patch too

[next onyx]

They did a general change for shotguns.

[wide hull]

not to mention they like halfed the damage

[next onyx]

Less pellets but more damage.

[stiff pollen]

they did a general change for shotguns? theres only 3 lmfao

[wide hull]

lmao not at all

feels like its half the pellets with no extra damage

[hexed mango]

that is what the patch says

[next onyx]

Yeah well that's the consensus I got from the patch.

[dire ibex]

when will the 50mm not be utterly trash again? I hate spawning in vehicles as a gunner with that one

[next onyx]

Maybe they did more who knows.

[royal swan]

Well it seems the new shotgun is great

[wide hull]

better than the 12m was? or at least similar

[royal swan]

Need to get my hands on it

[wide hull]

gotta change up my whole playstyle now lol

[next onyx]

The new gun everyone will abuse.

[royal swan]

It looks better

[lilac dust]

Holy moly some of Zain's death screams 🤣

[royal swan]

But that reload time

[next onyx]

Ok hour sleep.

[royal swan]

Way no

[next onyx]

I gotta share one good thing I did.

[hexed mango]

sleep now

[placid echo]

I uhh, I managed to make someone rage quit by running a circle around him and doing a take down

[hexed mango]

sleep.

[royal swan]

8 hours please

[next onyx]

Watch this beautiful clip.

[tepid agate]

Who are the 2042 versions of this 😆 all banter but funny 😆 https://youtu.be/id3f2XU2cJQ

[hexed mango]

go to sleep

[next onyx]

Also I plan on getting a proper sleep. I got some strong sleep tablets and I'm gonna crash for a good 14 hours tonight.

12 14 whatever.

[royal swan]

Oh I sniped a pilot in a transport helis across the fucking map with a railgun

He wasn't even facing me

[arctic grove]

finally got the RG

[shy bronze]

So is 2042 worth it for $30

🤨

[stiff pollen]

yea

i mean

its not bf1 levels content

[tepid agate]

I thought it's still 50

[lilac dust]

Free right now on EA Play

[wide hull]

or game pass PC

[shy bronze]

$30 on steam

Steam sale

[tepid agate]

It'll be free for you in December for some days so give it a try

[sour mango]

almost have mackay t1 he’ll be my first specialist t1 idk who i’ll play next

i love his ads movement everyone else feels hella slow

[proven igloo]

@sour mango Good time for Irish with all the XM's being fired

Just had 300 explosives intercepted in 1 game

[shell ermine]

Okay yeah the Rosch is definitely OP in single shot when PC players are using it.

[lunar finch]

Its worth 500

[granite island]

Why do the cubes in the background keep exploding

[royal swan]

I'll never know that bfv was worthy of a sale for 5 bucks

[granite island]

Makes me wish we could blow up one of the cubes

[royal swan]

5 bucks for bfv

[granite island]

What tier is the tank

[shell ermine]

22

[granite island]

This is going to take a while

[heady loom]

anybody facing low fps on new map 😦 r5 2600 + rx580 = 55 frames

[hexed mango]

L

[heady loom]

tried every possible setting

[granite island]

It is impossible to avoid typos

[shell ermine]

Very Janeway of you.

[hexed mango]

rx580 isnt a very good gpu

[royal swan]

Yoooo I think tornadoes got an update

There are shipping crates in them

[heady loom]

atleast give me constant 70 on ultra low

[granite island]

Real?

[royal swan]

🤯

[hexed mango]

game is more so cpu tied than gpu, graphics settings dont change much at all

[royal swan]

Well the one on Kaleidoscope did

[granite island]

Oh god

[royal swan]

I saw shipping crates

[granite island]

My teammate is playing Nightcore

[royal swan]

[granite island]

And I can't mute him for some reason

[heady loom]

@hexed mango do you have any fix or tricks ?

[hexed mango]

upgrade pc

[royal swan]

Use the voice chat and tell him to "shut up and stop using the mic you dumb bitch"

[heady loom]

@hexed mango sed life

[granite island]

Wowww

That fucking sucks

I thought you could go inside one of the robot rooms

But there's a invisible wall preventing you to go in

Now I'm mad

[hexed mango]

yeah same

i tried

[granite island]

How dare you dice

Preventing me to have fun

[hexed mango]

preventing me from having fun*

[granite island]

Yeah

[lunar finch]

Haha i saw one of those and i was thinking about it lmao

[lilac dust]

Ok I'm no scientist but I don't think clouds move that fast lol

[hexed mango]

fr

i saw

clouds going mach 2

[white geyser]

What? preventing you having fun??

[lilac dust]

The clouds are giving me motion sicknesss

So fucking fast sometimes lol

[lunar finch]

Is the xm8 worth unlocking?

[hexed mango]

yes

[lilac dust]

Spearhead takes place in a giant box travelling on a truck going 200mph. That's why the clouds are jamming out

[granite island]

This what happens when you take 4 flintstone gummies at the same time

Or drink 5 cups of coffee

[placid echo]

Great way to make someone rage quit

He really did leave right after that tho lol

[granite island]

Holy

Now that's a wingman

Teammate saved my life from another heli when I was using stealth chopper

He was in a jet

[lunar finch]

Leave the tv gamers alone

[shell ermine]

I really hate that 3d spotting is back. You can just spam R1 and the entire screen is filled with doritos again

[wide hull]

people bitched and got what they wanted

[quick cosmos]

Can anyone else not get past the very first load screen? Can't connect to EA servers.

[lunar finch]

If i had a battle pass lvl for every time i got defender this season on bt id already be finished with it... jesus

Can i please play attacker

[shell ermine]

I've only gotten Russians on Spearhead Conquest and I've played like 10 rounds today

[lunar finch]

Yeah i always get RU on conquest and always US on BT

Shit is pain

[granite island]

NOOO

My troll car

😭

Bolte is fun

[wide hull]

RORSCH is broken lol

60+ game just now, 30 headshots

[sage dock]

I like to think Angel was always so happy just to hide the pain deep down. Love the update of course, but having him slightly cheery is charming. Don't be sad.

[lilac dust]

BROOOO I got knifed in the back and then my teammate who was in front of me got finished with a takedown by the same guy LOOOOOOOOOOL

Those are moments I'm not mad about. Fair play to him

[shell ermine]

Rorsch essentially being hitscan makes it super OP for KB&M users.

[limpid pond]

My boy was on a mission

Imagine your whole squad was there

They all just get assainated

[lilac dust]

I didn't bother to ping the dude to my teammate cos I just knew my teammate was already a goner 🤣

[arctic grove]

Dude what is with the delay between ADS and fire lol

[wide hull]

yeah its killed me a bunch

lmgs especially

[lilac dust]

Do we have a yellow container emoji on the way?

[wide hull]

also how do i get spawn beacons to spawn mei nthe air

[arctic grove]

Ah yes, enemy in front of me, give me 1 second lol

LOL

[shell ermine]

I honestly can't believe anyone wanted it back.

Requiring a gadget like a spotting scope or a flare to 3D spot was so much better

[wide hull]

omg enemies too hard to see need to have doritos

[raw moss]

OK...so on the worst internet available (work lodging wifi) I've managed to get 300 kills with the Railgun.

I can't get right into the action due to the game basically crashing....but holy fuck

[lilac dust]

Fingers crossed the damn sprint glitch (the one where you slide across the ground and your gun doesn't move) will be fixed by season 4 🙏

[arctic grove]

Does anyone have a fix for stuters

sutters

stutters*

[tame cobalt]

New shotty any good

I have to grind out boring lcmg to get xm8

[mental cave]

i havent even played yet

literally been sleeping the whole day

[tame cobalt]

Kool

[mental cave]

is the rail gun

really just aimbot basically

[tame cobalt]

No

Hitscan

Basically

[mental cave]

so cod bullets

[tame cobalt]

fart

[limpid pond]

Nah cod bullets are hitscan.

[tame cobalt]

Cap

[spiral folio]

fallout4/76's are too mostly, except a few cases

[limpid pond]

Nah no hitscan

[spiral folio]

like plasma or exploding ones

and rockets of course

[limpid pond]

Cod bullets act just like 2042s bullets

[mental cave]

never noticed bullet drop in cod

[spiral folio]

yea most FPS games went out of hit-scan stuff forever ago

[arctic grove]

they do

most cod maps just arent large tho lol

[spiral folio]

even CoD2 was like delated shots

[limpid pond]

That doesn't make it hitscan. Hitscan is instant hits. It means that the moment you fire the bullet it hit markers your enemy

[mental cave]

[spiral folio]

well hitscan and ray-tracing

etc

[mental cave]

1 second ttk in cod so might as well be

[spiral folio]

you can still add a shot delay to simulate bullet travel even with a straight line shot

[arctic grove]

hitscan is a raycast

projectiles are physical objects with physics applied

some games have weapons that do both

[mental cave]

this new sniper is a rail gun right?

[rugged sail]

The game doesnt start, i'm stuck on the starting screen with no sound

[tame cobalt]

yh

[mental cave]

is the range bad

[spiral folio]

it has to charge before each shot

[wide hull]

its ezmode

[limpid pond]

The new tank Is cool tho

[spiral folio]

the one going for me didn't find it so easy

especially when he ate a rocket

ahaa... the NVK-p125 says 5.7x28mm on the side

[mental cave]

which one is that one

[spiral folio]

it's the weird bullpup pistol

[mental cave]

nice

these guns are fucking ugly

[spiral folio]

pass tier 28

[mental cave]

🤣

[spiral folio]

that might be my new favorite

even though it looks goofy af

it's weird that it does more damage than the P50

which has the same length barrel

and same round

just saiyan

[wide hull]

this is a video game

shotguns suck past 10m lol

[spiral folio]

you're a video game

anyway now that's settled

i'm getting to bed

[mental cave]

is it also a rail gun

some super strong magnets

going pew pew

[wide hull]

and headshots lmao

its so broken

dropped another 60 kil game with it by sniping off the big building on spearhead

its scummy but so so ez

[mental cave]

range nerf would make sense since in real life adaptations of rail guns they can’t shoot a bb more than like 20 feet 🤣

[arctic grove]

bro this game

[wide hull]

nah

navy has got some big ass railguns

[arctic grove]

legit goodluck being a tank, drones always hacking you, at everywhere

[lunar finch]

I hope its nerfed to the ground asap

[slender isle]

Did the pf51 get a silent buff? It feels weirdly good now

[dapper river]

oh no, if only there were multiple gadgets for drone counterplay.... smh I guess we'll never know

[arctic grove]

Larger ones can shoot for miles, but this si 20 years in the future, so minituarization

[arctic grove]

Yeah but, like most battlefield games, when your squad is basically a loose grouping of loners, theres not really any cooperation lol

[mental cave]

imagine rolling into battle with your primitive mini explosion powered weapon just to get domed by a guy with a magnet gun

[arctic grove]

A good way to balance it would be to make the recharge time longer, if it is nearly a 1 hit kill at most distances

And to lower the ammo

[mental cave]

.50 cal style

slow it down and give you 15 bullets

[little zealot]

So are they gonna fix the input lag on pc?

Super cool dragging my mouse through mud to ads

[arctic grove]

yeah

[slender isle]

Did they not like just improve it?

[arctic grove]

It's still pretty bad on my side though

[raw moss]

The charge is fine. But it should be a single shot reload

[lilac dust]

Wait I just realized if you're an avid flyer zain is OP

He's OP anyway but damn

[wide hull]

you can go tot he top of the big buildings with just mckay

[arctic grove]

Is there a reason why spotting sucks so bad? A single blade of grass and I cant spot the vehicle in front of me

[lilac dust]

Grassfield 2042

[coarse badge]

So I wanna test BF2042 on game pass PC before I buy.
I know that it uses the EA app to handle this, but this means the game will install under some ea folder, right?
just wanna know so if I buy the game on Steam I can just move the files y'know

[lilac dust]

It has cross save

But maybe that doesn't matter if you're playing on PC migrating between launchers. I'm not a PC guy

[arctic grove]

Its so hard to actually level up when the rest of the enemy has max guns lol

[tough widget]

Why is the attack chopper not on any breakthrough maps?

[coarse badge]

Usually xbox game pass games install under some encrypted folder bullshit making it impossible to move
just wanted to see if it doesnt do this when the EA app is used
thanks anyway tho

[nocturne cloak]

lol

BF2042 sucks

[arctic grove]

lol

[narrow elm]

xgp games appears as a "app" and cant even view files atleast not what ive seen.

[nocturne cloak]

COD is the best. Especially the new game.

[narrow elm]

ghost/aw was the last two i liked. warzone is fun lol

[arctic grove]

I'd just like a battlefield game that doesn't have an identity crisis lol

[narrow elm]

yes.

[oak fable]

Wasn't this update meant to include gadget restrictions?

[elder patrol]

Ntw can say bye bye

[wide hull]

no thank god

[elder patrol]

Mid season

[wide hull]

will they take c5 from sundance

[elder patrol]

Idk

[wide hull]

if they do i stop playing the game lol

[dapper river]

assault is said to still have C5

[elder patrol]

And recon as well

[wide hull]

thank god

my main deal is sundance and c5 for anti tank

cant jihad jeep reliably in 2042 compared to bf4 and 3

so tahts what i do

[elder patrol]

But railgun go br br br

[bold delta]

did they add server browser option?

[wide hull]

no

[slender isle]

Again, play portal

[bold delta]

I want server browser so I can switch regions for official servers

[slender isle]

Hmmmm, well maybe a region switcher could come but there is no AOW browser coming

[elder patrol]

Need server browser and flamenwerfer

[limpid pond]

Ya know what else is coming?

[elder patrol]

I know what I must do but I dont know if I have the strength to do it

[dire quest]

Do It!

Give in to your anger!

Let the hate flow through you!

[elder patrol]

"Muscle man" MY MOM!

[sour mango]

does anyone know what “kills performed on enemies from a different era than yourself” actually means? is there a mode i need to play to complete this challenge?

[dire quest]

I'm guessing portal BF3 vs bad Company 2 servers

Or any two eras fighting

Gotta be a full xp server tho so best bet is setting one up on your own

[sour mango]

ah okay ty i will look for one c:

[dire quest]

Could just make your own and invite friends to do it the easy way

[tacit sphinx]

yeah it’s supposed to be related to portal where you have asynchronous teams

[elder patrol]

Hey is there a way to change reticle color?

[tacit sphinx]

but you can also just get it killing bots in multiplayer, they’re counted as a different era to specialists for the purposes of the challenge lol

[dire quest]

You can change color of hud with new update

[lilac dust]

I wonder why the codename for this map was lights out. Even when the clouds and rain come in, it ain't that dark lol

[dire quest]

Clouds do be bugging tho

[lilac dust]

No kidding. Those clouds are racecars

[elder patrol]

I just cant see my reticle sometimes its white

[ebon pilot]

isn't it normally white?

[dense sail]

it’s cool that they fixed the jet

a lot better to play with now

[lilac dust]

Man I love it when you're shooting a dude and he cowers away behind cover so you whip out your zain GL and fuck him up

[proven igloo]

Finally got the new tank, fun little tank destroyer.

[ebon pilot]

I love it when I'm playing Irish and go behind cover and completely counter the Zain GL

[proven igloo]

Not much on it to defend from infantry though, so you need a decent gunner.

[placid parrot]

Anyone can help me find a specialist, equipment, and weapons that is great for my lone wolf playstyle in Battlefield 2042?

[tacit sphinx]

afaik lightsout references automated/autonomous manufacturing (“don’t need the lights on because people aren’t doing stuff” type thing)

[next onyx]

I do wish there was better communication if you're being countered by irish's aps.

Two mags emptied and I thought it was that weird xm type glitch.

[lilac dust]

The devil has appeared in the form of a pizza cat

[dire quest]

Battlefield isn't a lone wolf game tho...squad play is heavily supported in all battlefield games

[lilac dust]

Ah yeah think I heard about that on a youtube vid

[ebon pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/samurai-pizza-cats-gif-24768683

[lilac dust]

https://tenor.com/view/liam-neeson-i-will-find-you-taken-gif-5593626

[proven igloo]

So... anyone else wish we could fly around the new map on that giant drone

[fathom osprey]

Falck, XM8, C5

very versatile loadout

[inner roost]

For lone wolf just play Mackay with anything like Avancys and C5

[ebon pilot]

Falck is really good at lone wolf style because infinite syringes. Just please try to do your job as support and revive people

[proven igloo]

The whole specialist system is designed around lone wolfing, any will do fine.

[placid parrot]

I don’t really do teamplay.

[fathom osprey]

Class system will restrict lone wolfing somewhat

Wont be able to run medic + antitank anymore

[inner roost]

Well, you should get used to doing teamplay in BF honestly, get tons of exp from playing objective

[lilac dust]

Bjorn chose violence

[silk surge]

Will never forget the time I got a triple collateral with the crossbow.

[ebon pilot]

It's easy, just run around and press E on downed teammates and instantly gain tons of XP.

[ebon pilot]

This fact gives me severe depression

[dire quest]

Zain is good enough to run without med crate in my opinion, given each kill speeds up health recovery

[fathom osprey]

i think its for the best, Battlefield isnt Battlefield without teamplay

[inner roost]

Zain is super versatile, not overly OP either

[silk surge]

I agree, I usually always run with medcrate, but Zain's passive is so strong that you don't really need to as long as you get consistent kills.

[dark stirrup]

just noticed that blood is in the game now

[inner roost]

I think on spearhead atleast Irish is the MVP

[dark stirrup]

good job DICE

[proven igloo]

Huh, the maul upgrade for the tank can 2 shot the wildcat lol

[ebon pilot]

wym

[inner roost]

Blood splatters more often now

[tame cobalt]

he will also always have med stim when there's classes

[silk surge]

Your screen gets covered in blood when doing a takedown. It's a nice touch.

[dark stirrup]

blood splatters

[inner roost]

Kind of redundant considering his passive is almost a stim

[dark stirrup]

haven't done a takedown yet

[placid parrot]

I don’t like doing teamplay like I said.

[proven igloo]

I wish the melee in this game wasn't so finicky

[ebon pilot]

just peak from cover with 2 health

[inner roost]

Cod would be more up your alley then

[dark stirrup]

melee takedowns should be first person

[tame cobalt]

Kind of, stim is much faster tho and can be used in emergency when u couldn't activate his perk

[dark stirrup]

they did not execute it right with the melee system in the game

it being choppy along with the third person executions makes it so weird

[glossy storm]

Most superior compression quality:

[inner roost]

Very true, lots of utilization

[proven igloo]

I don't even care about the third person, I just want it consistent.

[bold delta]

I heckin love this game, gunplay is so much better than warzone2

[placid parrot]

I don’t like CoD.

[bold delta]

COD's core gunplay is so bad, one of the most unsatisfying
shooters out there as an mnk player

[dire quest]

Cod mobile is adding a soccer player if I recall correctly

[arctic grove]

Everyone in 2042 right now is sliding thinkin its cod

[tame cobalt]

sliding is actually viable movement in 2042 unlike mw2

[bold delta]

tbh only thing I would take from bfv is the sliding mechanic, but even at the current state movement is good, much better than the new cod

[silk surge]

At least slide cancelling isn't a thing in 2042.

[inner roost]

You don't need to slide honestly I see people do it way too much and lose gun fights

I've seen so many people recently try and slide cancel and go prone only to lose a gun fight

[dire quest]

At least bunny hopping ain't back like in battlefield 4

[arctic grove]

This is true

[edgy oriole]

I'd go as far as 2042 > WW3 > MW22 with gunplay.

[lilac dust]

[tame cobalt]

2042 strikes a good balance with the pros and cons of sliding. Bfv sliding has no cons and mw2 sliding has too many cons

[arctic grove]

It is. Ive seen some doing it

[silk surge]

I agree. Too much camera shake when shooting the guns.

[inner roost]

I do like 2042s movement over cod, I think there is no terribly unfair mechanics such as dropshotting or anything

[placid parrot]

Anyone can help me?

[ebon pilot]

bro stop

[dire quest]

No spam bruh

[bold delta]

camera shake and visual clutter when you shoot while ads

[placid parrot]

Sorry.

[silk surge]

What do you need help with?

[placid parrot]

I’m trying to find a specialist, equipment, and weapons that is good for my lone wolf playstyle.

[ebon pilot]

define lone wolf

[dire quest]

A wolf that just lost the wife n kids

[upbeat sand]

Wait does the gold edition lcmg skin have the launch day reload

[inner roost]

Cod playstyle, no objective no team work no revive only point shoot

[upbeat sand]

It's not as detailed

[tacit sphinx]

gamers upon discovering that they can actually try things and work out what they like using instead of repeating the same vague question 🤯

[proven igloo]

Literally anything, until the rework in january

[silk surge]

Mackay or Sundance and a gun that is viable at any distance (eg. Avancys, SFAR) along with a medcrate or medpen as gadget.

[upbeat sand]

Literal human scum

No team play

[worthy inlet]

Best lone wolf gameplay is to play alone but use other people as meat shields

Just be a medic and revive people to draw the fire

[inner roost]

Medics goats

[proven igloo]

maul 3 shots mbt's and 2 shots transport choppers

this brings me joy

[ebon pilot]

jeezus

[inner roost]

Good to see dice is attempting to fix vehicle balance for tank players

[placid parrot]

Like I said I don’t like teamplay.

[inner roost]

Play TDM or smtn in portal then

[worthy inlet]

Then why are you playing battlefield

[ebon pilot]

but it's so easy

[edgy oriole]

Mackay, m5/advancy/k30, c5/spawn beacon

[copper fulcrum]

Then just play the game without helping the team

[upbeat sand]

Mmm yes yes

I see if finally new players

New level 20s and 1s

Goood

[worthy inlet]

You don't even need to teamplay, just use other people

[copper fulcrum]

It's all I'm seeing too lol

[inner roost]

They don't know what they doing too funny, so many gamepass players

[upbeat sand]

Id say some are from the sale as well

30 aud

[worthy inlet]

If you want a build so you can 1v2 or 1v3 then it's just a matter of get good

[inner roost]

Oh yeah true

[edgy oriole]

Gamepass

All em

[ebon pilot]

I kinda feel bad for them

[placid parrot]

I’m not competitive either.

[copper fulcrum]

SO JUST PLAY THE GAME

[upbeat sand]

Or if they just have ea okay

[upbeat sand]

Welcome to battlefield

Les go

[worthy inlet]

Then use anything lol

[inner roost]

Honestly doing about nothing in battlefield and only going for kills could be the most useless/boring thing you can do, you have to be on obj to rack up meaningful kills

[upbeat sand]

The gold edition skin for the lcmg uses the old reload

[ebon pilot]

everything works, a gun is a gun is a gun

[placid parrot]

The only thing I don’t like is teamplaying. Hence, why Iprefer lone wolfing.

[upbeat sand]

Hey look buddy I'm an engineer

When you have a problem you use a gun

And if that ain't work

Use more gun

[tame cobalt]

Yeah, also conquest isn't just about going for the objective with the most enemies to kill, sometimes the smart move is going for the obj with the least enemies,

[upbeat sand]

What colours did people set their huds to?

[ebon pilot]

default

[proven igloo]

Yeah, default

[upbeat sand]

I made it yellow

[worthy inlet]

Fluro pink

[upbeat sand]

Now I can pretend it's double xp week

[placid echo]

🅱️urple

[tame cobalt]

Although back capping can be really painful if u don't have spawn beacon or mav/transport heli

[inner roost]

Then go for kills only in game, it won't get you far and you will level up much slower

[next onyx]

Orange

[tame cobalt]

White

[worthy inlet]

Just turn off the HUD

[inner roost]

White best

[tame cobalt]

It's the color for neutral hud elements so it should be white IMO, blue should be reserved for actual friendly team hud elements

[placid parrot]

Alright, what weapons and a specialist you recommend for lone wolfing?

[tame cobalt]

To improve readability

[inner roost]

You've been suggested so many by now how have you not decided yet

[tame cobalt]

For example when your whole hud is blue, the blue revive icons just blend into the hud and are easy to miss

[dire quest]

Would you guys agree?

[inner roost]

Nah my friends rage tf out lol, they get heated and bring down the mood

[placid parrot]

Sorry I wasn’t paying attention. Can you tell what you recommend me again?

[tame cobalt]

uhh mackay with sfar or avancys would be a good choice probably

[lilac dust]

Ahaha so many replies getting 100's of likes for saying "Don't waste your time on Battlefield 2042 just because it's on gamepass, it will never be good" ... You gotta love people wanting to take as many prisoners down the burning ship with them.... although in this case they are not aware that the ship is alive and well and getting stronger https://twitter.com/XboxGamePass/status/1595099945429864448

[grizzled whale]

No

winning is all that matters

Even if you have the worst time of your life, winning is what matters

[inner roost]

They're just jumping on hate wagons, none of them are going to give a fair chance to a game after a shaky launch

[lilac dust]

I see so many idiots when questioned about why Battlefield is bad in their opinion they say "Because it had a terrible launch" 🤣 Right okay then..... Terrible launch = Impossible to fix.

[bold delta]

trolls most of them or just single player only andys

[inner roost]

Ignore them honestly, no point in wasting time reading that shit, most of them probably haven't touched BF in years and just like to hate on whatever is an easy target

[placid parrot]

Are one of the new futuristic weapons good?

[grizzled whale]

yes

[placid parrot]

I’m a sucker for futuristic weapons.

[inner roost]

Lol 0 awareness from enemy players

[next onyx]

When you run full auto on the railgun for a long time and go back to a regular gun you'd be amazed how much you forget how good a gun that instantly fires feels.

[limpid pond]

The new sniper is sick asf

Been using that and just went 95and 14

The burst mode is where it's at

[grizzled whale]

doubt

[wide shore]

I was enjoying it in burst mode.

[grizzled whale]

Damn they really nerfed the crap out of the nightbird didnt they

basically nothing is left

[dire quest]

They nerfed the C5 too

Well throwing distance

[grizzled whale]

yeah but i mean the nightbird nerf is insane

its not even a nightbird anymore

just look at this

[lilac dust]

lol

[grizzled whale]

@next onyx so i take it you T1'ed the railgun already?

[next onyx]

Yeah I got it done 5 hours earlier.

5 to 6.

I just had to crash.

[grizzled whale]

wait wtf

really

i was joking

[grizzled whale]

jusus christ

full auto farm inside the cubes i take it?

?

[next onyx]

Yeah.

But the charge up time limits it.

[grizzled whale]

might do that

it will take a while with the sniper mode

although if i have more clips like the one i posted earlier

[lilac dust]

I feel kinda cool that I got the honour to speak with a real life alien

their name is @next onyx

[next onyx]

It's because it's because I'm Australian isn't it.

[wide shore]

No fuckin way

[lilac dust]

Yup. I tier 1'd the railgun before even the creators got their hands on it last week 😉

[placid parrot]

What sidearm and throwable I should use?

[next onyx]

The g57!

And the frag grenade!

[wide shore]

Proximity Sensor and PF51

[next onyx]

G57 can be used in burst.

And recently got a buff.

[wide shore]

Did it?

[lilac dust]

Ok considering Silk and Ashe are around your parts @next onyx Then clearly that part of the world is just built different. You're all cracked over there

[next onyx]

Silk is fun to play with. Ash is not.

But yeha.

OCE players are cracked.

[placid parrot]

Is there any sidearm and primaries good in all ranges?

[lilac dust]

Lol ... may I ask why Ash is not?

[next onyx]

Asking for a side arm to be good at all ranges isn't what you should be looking for.

Think of it like this.

Err.

Wait lemme start this from the start.

[placid parrot]

Isn’t your sidearm meant to be your backup?

[next onyx]

Yeah definitely.

A trusty gun you're familiar with just incase.

The SCAR is a good ranged assault rifle.

Which I would advise for using.

It sucks a little bit closer up but other wise it's pretty alright.

[placid parrot]

What about the new futuristic weapons?

[next onyx]

The railgun is awkward.

But it's a very good instant dome weapon.

Through DMR mode.

The shotgun and pistol I have yet to unlock.

[wide shore]

Railgun is not very good close range gun because of the charge time.

Any SMG would destroy it at close range just because there’s a firing delay

Shotgun will have limited range as well. It’s a shotgun

[placid parrot]

The Pistol?

[wide shore]

Haven’t unlocked it yet. But it looks like a standard pistol

g57 or PF51 will have the advantage over all the semi auto pistols just because of ROF

[next onyx]

HE'S FUCKING LOSING IT ON STREAM.

[grizzled whale]

why did they have to buff the AC42 again

[lilac dust]

lmao ... Yeah I tuned in yesterday to his stream during launch of season 3 and he was pretty quickly saying "The game is finally going in the right direction" then today he took a full U turn on that opinion

[dusk ore]

Game keeps crashing for me, is it broken on 40 series GPUs?

[next onyx]

Lemme DM you something.

[bold delta]

so many portal games where all the 128 players are on one team, why?

what is the purpose

[slender isle]

It burst pistols the new one

[wide shore]

Is it? I thought it was just semi

[slender isle]

It has a burst fire from what I’ve seen

[wide shore]

Interesting

[next onyx]

Fish I need to show you something.

[slender isle]

Low bullet count in mags though

[next onyx]

It's fucking beautiful.

[slender isle]

What is? The sidearm?

[next onyx]

Even better.

[slender isle]

Shotgun?

[next onyx]

Check Dm's.

Let's keep it down here but it's so good.

[grizzled whale]

way

did you T1 the sidearm too?

[slender isle]

It’s beautiful

[next onyx]

Not yet.

I'm almost to it.

[slender isle]

So happy to see Ashe just not having fun

[grizzled whale]

show

[pine roost]

I don’t really know who some of the good eu players are, I never get to play against anyone I actually know

Saying that actually, I did play against omni Exxo in bfV a while back but that was it

[slender isle]

Way, are you coming up against adeptmoisture? This man is clapping my cheeks on a constant basis

[lilac dust]

Just unlocked the railgun. Purposely avoided looking at footage of it, but this thing is fun so far

[bold delta]

Portal is dead

give me server browser ffs

[upbeat sand]

now i say i say what the hell is a C grip

[next onyx]

Not too much but I have been in a call with him. He's a good guy.

[grizzled whale]

this

[upbeat sand]

ooh ok i was wondering why people where sayign it was in beta

[lilac dust]

I like how the railgun promotes the plus system in what I find a fun way IMO. Was expecting to press the alternate fire mode like you would on like the G57 but was pleasantly surprised all the fire modes are part of the plus menu 👌

[silk surge]

Apparently EA PLAY doesn't affect the steamcharts at all because you're forced to use the EA Launcher.

I didn't know that.

[bold delta]

how do I switch regions without paying for vpn?

[lucid goblet]

no region switching capability

[slender isle]

I’ve learnt for next time to just not play update launch

Sweat galore

[bold delta]

this is so stupid, game keeps putting me on middle eastern servers instead of singapore servers

exitlag is like 10 dollars per month which I don't want to pay

only to switch regions which should be a basic necessity feature in a multiplayer only game

[bold delta]

[lucid goblet]

There's lots of players currently as the new season has just started

[long pike]

what they fixed on new season ?

[lucid goblet]

check #game-news

[lilac dust]

I'm super curious. What firing mode did you use the most when tier 1ng railgun? @next onyx

[long pike]

i hear that they have boosted fps

is that correct ?

[bold delta]

only one gamemode is active in middle east servers, that is the new map on conquest mode. Rush, breakthrough, portal and hazard are all dead

[long pike]

??

[bold delta]

getting 200fps instead of 130 which I was getting last year

[lucid goblet]

For some users yes, i've noticed a 10/15 fps increase on 128p servers

[long pike]

my pc

is i510400f

1660 super

[haughty plume]

Understandable

[long pike]

can i play it with 100 fps now ?

or 90 fps ?

@lucid goblet

[bold delta]

its on gamepass, try it before buying

[long pike]

ok

how many dolars ?

dollars

i hope bf 2042 be like bf4 and 3

[pine roost]

Watch some gameplay first

[haughty plume]

It's not worth buying I would say bf 1 or 4 is and you have way better performance

[pine roost]

It’s very different

[long pike]

ok

i want to buy bf4

[pine roost]

Plus there’s a huge steam sale right now, all other games are on mega discounts

[long pike]

it have sale

now

[elder patrol]

I now have the 6x for railgun, just wish the crosshair was smaller

[long pike]

do i will find players ?

[haughty plume]

Bf4 is the best battlefield or 3

[long pike]

bf4 is 5 dollars

6 dollars

imean

[haughty plume]

Yeah pretty sure that it has more players then 2042

[long pike]

and really i want to buy it

but i opened battle log

wait

i will see

the problem that i will start from level 0

not like 2015 i was 140 level

i selled my account

[haughty plume]

It is what it is it's still a good game

[long pike]

i will see bf 2042 youtube reviews now

[long pike]

ok i will buy it and start from level 0

cause no games last 2 years

i hope they start doing another game

or remake bf4 or 3

bf 2042 u cant play it beacuse fps is so bad

also with rtx

[lilac dust]

Instead of looking at reviews on youtube where most will be out of date and not reflective of the current state of the game, I recommend downloading 2042 in December when it will be free on all platforms at certain points of the month

[elder patrol]

He right ☝️

[haughty plume]

That's what we all hope

[long pike]

there is videos for season 3

[lilac dust]

yeah that's true, but if you care enough to look at how the game is on youtube then you may aswell try it out for free in December to make up your own mind. Just my two cents

[arctic grove]

Why are you typing like this, random spaces

Is your space key broken

[long pike]

no

[lilac dust]

Google translator I'm guessing

[long pike]

but i like that

no im not translating

[lilac dust]

Oh ok

[long pike]

but i love to type like that

[lilac dust]

To each their own 😄

[long pike]

but it will be free on 16 dec

thats the problem

[arctic grove]

what will be free?

[long pike]

yes i think for week

[lilac dust]

Yeah I hear you. Plenty of season 3 videos out there to get an idea of how the game is doing

[long pike]

and then it will be again u should buy it

[lilac dust]

2042 (limited free periods in dec he's referring to)

[next onyx]

Full auto.

[lilac dust]

Noted. TY

[raw moss]

I'm a huge fan of the Single Shot personally

[lavish thistle]

Battlefield 2042 vehicle and sniper game is not played as an offensive.

[raw moss]

4.5x optic

It slaps

300m headshots no problem

[lilac dust]

So far I'm liking all the modes on the railgun. Love it when they add these guns that have plenty of variety to them like BSV

[raw moss]

Burst is useless lol

[lilac dust]

Oh I love burst if I don't feel I'm close enough to justify spraying

Might be a different story on M&K tho

I play PS5

[raw moss]

I always die when its in burst 😆

[lavish thistle]

sniper and vehicles are annoying

[pine roost]

Learn to deal with them then

[lilac dust]

Railgun them in the face

[raw moss]

I'm killing tanks with this railgun...it's hilarious

[lilac dust]

Oooh I just realized the railgun does vehicle damage on all 3 modes

Assumed it was only the one shot mode

[ripe hedge]

awww shit i missed the C Clamp discussion

[pine roost]

I hope people are happy with the aa options low that there’s a hitscan anti air weapon

[raw moss]

Oh....someone's mad I hit em with a throwing knife 😆

[lavish thistle]

It's hard to do that as Assault.

too many vehicles

[pine roost]

Isolate them then

[lilac dust]

Bring friends with railguns

[pine roost]

Get an angle on one without exposing yourself to others

Honestly I feel like when I try it out im going to be utterly dumbfounded

[placid parrot]

I don’t know what sidearm and primaries to use with my lone wolf playstyle.

[pine roost]

Something with decent ammo usage I guess?

Something like the ak or scar tends to be my go to

[elder patrol]

I rate the railgun a solid 7/10

[lilac dust]

@ripe hedge Whatever part you had in creating the railgun, whether it was all of it, some of it or none of it please send my thanks to the team (and you) for such a fun new gun. These versatile weapons are a big reason why I love this Battlefield! 👌

Feels extra satisfying to be able to say this considering it technically got nerfed just before launch day. Glad it's still very fun to use!

[limpid pond]

Well the new sniper isn't busted at least

It requires you to camp so that's a relief

[pine roost]

How so?

I’ve not actually seen how it differs from the recording event

[limpid pond]

Wdym? It wasn't busted them either. It's close to hit scan and requires you normally to kinda camp with the sniper and burst conversion

The full auto version still requires charge up so you're not gonna win gunfights if the enemy shoots at you

[pine roost]

Close to hitscan on a sniper looked pretty broken

It’s just that I’ve not actually had a chance to see it since the event

It released at an unfortunate time for me and I was too busy to get to unlocking it

[limpid pond]

Idk man it's not a 1 shot close range it has a charge up time. There no way for you to actually showcase that it could be possibly busted unless you just shoot a bunch of trash kids camping

[pine roost]

I’m talking mostly about the sniper mode, not the other modes

[limpid pond]

Sniper mode applies to it also

You have to camp with the sniper version to even remotely kill more than 1 person

Close range if the enemy sees you you lose no if ands or buts

[granite island]

Holy

[limpid pond]

Long range you can kill campers with close to hitscan headshots

[granite island]

Why does the railgun tank shoot so fast

I'm in the air

And I'm seeing shots fly past me every second

[pine roost]

Yeah so it’s strengths lie in that long range, makes sense

[limpid pond]

To a degree but yes mainly

A sws can still headshot you faster than the new sniper

[placid parrot]

So far I’m not liking the scar’s low magazine size.

[limpid pond]

Good

Meta spammers are annoying and suck

[pine roost]

Oh yeah it got nerfed didn’t it

[limpid pond]

Finally

[pine roost]

I didn’t even know it was meta, I just liked it. Slower fire rate felt good

[limpid pond]

To many low skilled players were able to use it and do semi good

[pine roost]

I’ll check it out but I’ll probably still use it

[limpid pond]

They'd still drop only 30 kills with the busted ass gun

[slender isle]

It’s not really nerfed

[limpid pond]

Yeah no scar outgunned smgs at close range

[slender isle]

It is amazing still

[limpid pond]

Wait huh

Wdym? Can it still best any smg if it headsgots 1 time?

[slender isle]

Pretty much

[limpid pond]

Bruh

[pine roost]

They only changed it’s damage over range didn’t it?

[limpid pond]

Tf did they do just lower mag size?

[slender isle]

The nerf only effects 50-75m

From 28 to 22 damage

[limpid pond]

Bruh

[placid parrot]

Scar magazine size is 20.

[limpid pond]

Remove hs multi and give it back to smgs

[slender isle]

And that still is fine, 5 hit kill with crazy accuracy and 50 damage headshot

49*

[pine roost]

Ak is still my beloved though

Easily my most used

[slender isle]

My most used is the SWS lmao

1800 kills or something stupid like that
