[spiral folio]

Nothing changes caliber of guns in the game
Do you know what caliber is?

[mental delta]

Ok I aint joking anymore

Where is patch notes

[novel basalt]

so you are

ok

[spiral folio]

Joma has em
He wont give us the patch notes

[novel basalt]

ignore short barrel because i made a single error

[dapper river]

not as bad as the xdefiant server at one point, 30 minute slowmode

[mental delta]

Why

[spiral folio]

.. not why
Who

[quaint vector]

I stole the Patch Notes

[spiral folio]

Dammit come on

[low timber]

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-2042-update-notes-4-2-0

[mental delta]

Give patch notes now

[quaint vector]

[low timber]

I just posted the patch notes link

[next onyx]

Yo.

[spiral folio]

Man 'the view' is lookin better with these new hosts

[pine roost]

Let’s go, patch notes time

If there is anything regarding flight assist ping me

[mental delta]

Thanks, I'll wait for dev update though because patch notes isn't that interesting ngl

[mental delta]

Patch notes sound intensifies

[next onyx]

No RM nerf lol.

Ugh.

[mental delta]

I guess people will continue playing it

Now new vault weapons too

[pine roost]

Transport heli nerf

Although it isn’t making its weapons any less viable which is the main issue

[mental delta]

They just increased damages on it

[next onyx]

Weird that the hind got a massive 20% increase versus the Osprey's 10.

[spiral folio]

I tell you until i see the holes in its fuselage and put my missiles into its side I will not believe

[mental delta]

Because condor got less mobility

[next onyx]

I probably get it but whatever.

Eh.

[pine roost]

It still has the same weapons

[mental delta]

And it's still the same shit

[spiral folio]

Making helos dead makes their weapons 100% less effective

[mental delta]

Yeah but making them dead isn't that easy

[next onyx]

It's literally the same vehicle in function. Its two modes are extreme ends.

[oak gulch]

condor is op for ramming other vehicles

[next onyx]

But hey.

If the rockets are a 2HK (I hope) then good.

[mental delta]

Yeah but in stationary it's much more riskier, I don't like it anyway

[low timber]

No info about new attachments

[spiral folio]

Its 20% easier now

[novel basalt]

the transition period between vtol and jet makes you fly like a giant boat through the air

[next onyx]

Fuck this stupid transport vehicle meta.

[vocal tusk]

Hind is way more maneuverable vs the condor...makes sense TBH

[mental delta]

New attachments ?

[low timber]

Every .2 update added some

[arctic grove]

Hi girls

[pine roost]

It will still have the same offensive capability, it’ll still be able to just fly over you and grenade you with ease

[mental delta]

Agreed, I hope people will play more rockets launchers and soflam

[low timber]

1.2 2 new sights
2.2 2 new lasers
3.2 3 new sights and S22 suppressor

[pine roost]

While yes a health survivability nerf is great, those guns are what make it annoying

[mental delta]

Wait for dev update they seem to have some announcement to make

[next onyx]

The fact that the gunners are invulnerable piss me off.

Don't care that you can shoot the nose gunner, The fact that they can hover above and get kills like that is fucking dumb.

[novel basalt]

make mobility hits in helicopters be impactful pls

[spiral folio]

It only took them THE WHOLE TIME THE GAMES BEEN OUT to realize its broken but ill take 20%
For now

[next onyx]

It's what made the TR helis in bf4 / H balanced. The gunners always had to be exposed for you to hit them.

[vocal tusk]

What exactly counts as a "Heavy Projectile"?

[next onyx]

And even so you had to position it in a certain way for it to be effective.

[mental delta]

Transport helis in this game are poorly designed anyway I don't understand why you guys are looking that deep while it's obvious that overpowered helisike this were a bad idea from the beginning lol

[novel basalt]

prob tank rounds and TOW missles

[next onyx]

Don't reply ping I'm right here.

[novel basalt]

make the rotors and engines of vehicles take damage from small arms fire

[pine roost]

Cause they could easily fix them

[novel basalt]

ok i fixed vehicles

[next onyx]

Yeah anything that's a rocket I would assume is a heavy projectile.

40MM AP I'd call "Soft"

[mental delta]

By removing them and replace them with lighter transport helis which wouldn't get explosive cannons yeah

[robust vapor]

Post Patch: Your local transport pilots have quit their job

[pine roost]

Not even that, just get rid of its front guns that have a greater potency than most attack aircraft weapons

[novel basalt]

half the time your heli pilot is a level 13 boris psn player that bails after the first rocket

[next onyx]

Without a nosegunner the transports aren't so easily abused.

[spiral folio]

Or WITH the awful 50mm

[next onyx]

The only nose gun that should have the strength is the AT choppers.

[mental delta]

BF4 transport helis were perfect, not too heavy and armed but they were hugely maneuverable so it wasn't that difficult to pilot them

[acoustic seal]

annnnnd the reason why transport air is so broken flies right over their heads

[spiral folio]

-fires one 50mm-
-watches lord of the rings during the reload-

[mental delta]

Yeah but nosegunner is the second seat Way lol, there's almost always one

[acoustic seal]

and they're turning on USA for everyone because they have no idea what it does

[next onyx]

Just want some fix on the explosive spam in this game and it'll be more bearable.

Playing as Dozer made me realised how much of it exists.

[spiral folio]

War is hell

[next onyx]

I can actually survive random explosions.

[pine roost]

At this point their reluctance to change the weapons on transports is clear, it won’t be changed

[mental delta]

A simple explosive spam fix just be to lower damages from explosives such as Sundance's grenades and some other

[spiral folio]

The best protection vs explosions is 200m of air

[mental delta]

Yeah but at least they could admit it was crap idea

[pine roost]

unless this change is a preliminary test to determine whether they need to make further changes

[next onyx]

I'm against removing stuff in a game but those nose guns on the TR helis are literally what makes them broken.

[warped kelp]

What, no weapon balance? Why are the patch notes even required?

[next onyx]

They need to be removed and actually balanced.

Yeah that too.

No weapon balance changes.

Another month of RM shitters.

[low timber]

I wonder if explosive damage can go trough the armor plates now that it doesn’t cover you fully, as the frag grenade damage was buffed shortly after launch to 120 because of the armor

[acoustic seal]

you don't understand, we NEED to constantly fuck with the end round screen and user settings

[next onyx]

Reminds me that at launch a sniper headshot wouldn't kill a guy with armour.

[warped kelp]

Yeah that's more important.

[haughty elk]

damn was really hoping the squad management update was coming in this update. Guess it's a season 5 thing.

[mental delta]

Vehicles in this game are just badly designed aside from tanks and the ground transport ones, I used to love playing vehicles in BF but in this game I only like playing tanks and Crawler

[low timber]

GVT couldn’t ohk headshot armored targets after its HSM was lowered from 4x to 3x if the enemy was further than 140m and had armor

[pine roost]

I’d enjoy helicopters if they weren’t an annoyance to fly

[mental delta]

BFV vehicles were good though, it's so bad to see the downgrade fron one game to the very next one

[low timber]

And in beta you could survive a direct M5CG hit if you had armor as well

[next onyx]

I swear armour was barely used in the beta.

[mental delta]

Squad management isn't even confirmed to be a thing for the moment

[next onyx]

People were having more fun with other things.

[low timber]

Now it’s just tryhards using it

[remote kiln]

yes it is

it's just confirmed for later

[mental delta]

Really ?

[remote kiln]

yes

[mental delta]

Ha sorry my bad

Didn't think so

[drowsy shuttle]

Dozer's Ballistic Shield will no longer deflect/ricochet Sundance's Scatter Grenade. <- i can already taste dozer main's tears ... delicious

[next onyx]

Literal shitters just abusing it. Like I'm fucked in the head but at least I have some self respect.

[mental delta]

I guess that dev update will ne massive as it's the one which will close year 1

You think they'll talk about seasons to come ?

[next onyx]

It's not like it's going to kill them, Junik.

[pine roost]

Will probably just be discarded

[mental delta]

Maybe a teaser for season 6 map and more reveal for season 5 one

[low timber]

What did the cyber warfare protection do on the Brawler?

[drowsy shuttle]

doesn't matter, pretty sure will make them stop from charging forward, and will help with damage..

[next onyx]

The shield will protect them from the blast anyways.

So I dunno what will change.

[mental delta]

It would be bad because we didn't get a lot of communication those last weeks, they could at least reveal more about what's about to come

[next onyx]

It's meant to help against hacking.

Fucked if I know.

[low timber]

So just a anti Rao thing

[next onyx]

They talked about a ricochet with the shield but that often refers to the damage coming back and hitting something.

[drowsy shuttle]

well if you throw a scatter and can't get deflected... the frags that spread behind them, probably will do damage to them... my guess at least

[remote kiln]

cyber warfare means it can't be hacked

it's immune tldr

[next onyx]

It'll probably just explode on impact on a dozer shield and because haha fuck counter play it'll damage them through it.

[remote kiln]

cyber warfare is raos hacking ability

[drowsy shuttle]

perhaps

[remote kiln]

you memorise everything when you get 12k kills with him

[warped kelp]

𝙒𝙚𝙖𝙥𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣❓

[mental delta]

I don't see many people playing Rao those last weeks, I never learnt to play it tbh

[mental delta]

!!when

[tender pendant]

Soon™

[mental delta]

[drowsy shuttle]

Auto throw grenades and throwing knives option now behaves more consistently. <- what they mean by this? faster draw? or somehow more responsive to when you press the key to throw them?

[haughty elk]

that's not true, it was confirmed on their podcast

[next onyx]

Either way.

[mental delta]

Yeah I told you shit sorry dude

[haughty elk]

not a problem. Season 5 it is.

[low timber]

Well when you use a grenade with more than 1 with auto throw on it tries to throw all of them, and on knives you rapidly throw them.

[mental delta]

I hope so, season 5 is gonna feel a bit empty without bew specialist, I hope they planned to add more features to compensate

[haughty elk]

Honestly am fine with no new specialist, my hope is after the last map rework + new map, that we get a season 2 announced and with that, hopefully a new map + 1 portal remake each season. fingers crossed

[jovial tusk]

whts the next season?

[next onyx]

We don't know.

[silk surge]

Why are they not nerfing RM68? Are the devs maining it or something??

[drowsy shuttle]

The EOD Bot was getting a bit too friendly with Boris' SG-36 Sentry Gun and instead of repairing it, would pick it up. Not figuratively speaking, don’t ask us how that would have looked, an EOD Bot rolling down the hills of Flashpoint with a Sentry Gun on it. Anyway, this will no longer take place and it will repair the turret instead, as intended. <- nice picture

[jovial tusk]

i think we need 1 or 2 more rockets tbh

[silk surge]

That gun is so fucking broken, and the meta has never been worse.

[brittle flame]

Crazy still no rm68 nerf…..

[mental delta]

It has already been confirmed there would be a complete year 2, about 2 maps per season it won't be a thing though, they confirmed that each season would always get the same amount of maps unfortunately

[jovial tusk]

i was stressed out earlier now i stressd playing bf i feel better

[remote kiln]

there has been no confirmation about year 2, it's just heavily likely

[drowsy shuttle]

its unbelievable to be honest... i don't understand... only 1 or 2 weapons can compete somehow against rm68 ... SFAR and AM40 maybe...

[haughty elk]

not sure if that's completely confirmed, with no reworks to be done, hopefully that frees up resources for a portal remake is all i'm saying. There were only leaks of a season 2 that popped up on Orgin/EA App

[jovial tusk]

and the AEK

AEk shreds people dont forget

[next onyx]

Eh.

[jovial tusk]

at range it sucks up close it slaps ngl

[spiral folio]

If they made the guns breakable it'd make it easier too. Like worked in bf1

[drowsy shuttle]

rm68 will make sure you can't get close enough to shred

[jovial tusk]

more guns in coming to bf? i hoep so

[hidden lantern]

Just waiting for the discarded rework

[mental delta]

Me too, portal remakes would be good, I've been waiting for new ones since launch

[acoustic seal]

"at range it sucks" makes it irrelevant in this game where you have to fight people at 100m regularly

[drowsy shuttle]

BUT im hoping theres a silent nerf for the rm68... it has to be...

[jovial tusk]

unless u play exposure xD

[mental delta]

But I think they'll just take benefits from this situation to move even more devs on the next game

[tribal cradle]

it was the case very early on in development.

[remote kiln]

it is not the final rework, hourglass is in season 5, after that is when there is no more needed to be done

[haughty elk]

we are talking about season 5 and the final rework being Hourglass

[subtle crag]

Lowkey want them to remake 2142 with today's tech

[remote kiln]

ah fair enough

[mental delta]

I wouldn't bet on an additional map for seasons after the fifth one though

[tribal cradle]

same well kinda, would love a BF2142 remake on BF4's engine

[remote kiln]

its not happening DICE have already said

and people are on hopium about it

[drowsy shuttle]

Updated Boris' SG-36 Sentry Gun description to now mention targeting vehicles don't use it.

[mental delta]

Yeah that's what I was saying in facts, but people are still hoping for it to be a thing

[haughty elk]

Dice has neither confirmed or denied anything.

[mental delta]

They told us months ago almost with those words : "expect the same amount of maps each season" which kinda says it all tbh

[haughty elk]

yes but this was before they even announced season 5. things have changed with the game in a healthy state.

[jovial tusk]

any updates on breakthrough 128? havent seen it in aswhile peole miss it n rush xl is susccessful so ye

[remote kiln]

there isnt

[jovial tusk]

damn miss it ngl

[still vault]

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/battlefield/battlefield-2042/news/battlefield-2042-update-notes-4-2-0

[haughty elk]

breakthrough 128 I would assume is dead, after season 3's event, it was further proof when everyone is bottlenecked into the same area, the game gets glitchy as hell

[drowsy shuttle]

If it wasn't the Discarded rework this update would be like 4.1.2 or something.

Its basically Discarded rework and the UI and some QoL improvements that comes to the eye.

[mental delta]

Yeah idk they probably had their plan to make a season 5 even before they made that statement

[jovial tusk]

dead? why say tht when rush xl is the same thing? but just rush xD

on smaller maps aswell

[remote kiln]

the announcement was not months ago

they affirmed in a podcast more than 1 map isn't happening

[drowsy shuttle]

when can we have a sneak peak on the "new" discarded? like a small clip or something?

[next onyx]

Dev stream most likely.

[haughty elk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo7pyqG-IMo This might be what you are looking for, they teased it a few weeks ago, and tuesday during their dev stream it will already be in the wild.

[still vault]

This is Q&L 😮

[prisma wyvern]

Updated Boris' SG-36 Sentry Gun description to now mention targeting vehicles.

Boris mains eating good

[drowsy shuttle]

yeah some QoL improvements are most welcome

[remote kiln]

the discarded rework was shown in the season 4 trailer

[jovial tusk]

last time we had breakthrouh 128 this game wasnt optimised as much as it was now to be fair. but ill accpet rush 128 np

[drowsy shuttle]

appreciated

[willow scroll]

Getting tired of RM noobs

[remote kiln]

rush XL half the time is still a laggy mess

no wonder they got rid of 128 BT

[severe sequoia]

Me 2 man

[jovial tusk]

yup but its chAOS

[next onyx]

Rush XL great for grinding your guns out. Only reason why I care for it.

[drowsy shuttle]

same... but it is what it is... when they start to really annoy me i have to fight fire with fire and equip the rm68 aswell..

[jovial tusk]

tbh kinda like tht tho

[next onyx]

DON'T YOU LOVE THE RM.

THE NEW BEST WEAPON.

[willow scroll]

Same man, I did that last round. Wasn't fun for them either, trust me

[next onyx]

I'm tired I shouldn't be here.

Lol.

[carmine rover]

when r we going to get vault weapon t1 skins

[remote kiln]

it's not very fun dying to desync issues or getting shot behind walls constantly

fun every now and again but BT 128 wasn't that

[next onyx]

Don't think we are but all purpose skins probably likely.

[jovial tusk]

oh i dont desynch anymore but for some reason this game hates msi afterburner

[drowsy shuttle]

i don't have fun using it... i find it too boring to use it of how easy it is.. its almost like cheating... but when more than half of the lobby is using it... i have no choice if i wanna compete

[jovial tusk]

i turned it off some stutters but no desynchs i had it on got Direct x errors so yea

[remote kiln]

you will have desync issues, whether you notice it or not is a different matter

cancelled actions animations ADS timings failing blah blah

[willow scroll]

Nah I just make them taste their own medicine.

[jovial tusk]

ofc but i think thts poor optimization tho but it is wht it is

[drowsy shuttle]

lol yeah, or that..

[subtle crag]

I think this game has the absolute worst maps TDM maps I have ever seen in about 15 years of playing FPS games

[next onyx]

I refuse to touch the RM now.

I've got it to 10K and I'm never going to use it again.

[naive magnet]

If I want to farm kills with the Wildcat is it better as an Anti Tank/Infantry vehicle?

[willow scroll]

Good decision

[next onyx]

I feel awful getting it to 10K but I loved the gun with the idea behind it.

But I just can't.

It's literally overpowered.

[fresh lintel]

I use it because bullpup brainrot

[next onyx]

Bullpup Xm7 lmaooo.

[willow scroll]

AF, but its meh meh

[dry lava]

Seriously no RM68 or SPH nerf? Damn lol

[next onyx]

But wow look.

New map.

Yay.

[naive magnet]

Update 4/20 on 4/21, weak

[willow scroll]

yay...

[dry lava]

I thought the update is for next week?

[naive magnet]

I mean the announcement

Missed opportunity haha

[dry lava]

Remade map, there's a difference.

[dry lava]

Oh yeah, definitely would've been funny

[next onyx]

Eh it may as well be new. I said new map without thinking with my only excuse being I don't care.

[naive magnet]

During the End of Round flow it’s now possible to skip all the way to the main menu without leaving automatic matchmaking.

This is my favorite

[willow scroll]

Really?

I will love Team VC

[dry lava]

Massive improvement imo

[willow scroll]

Can't wait for Console players without pust to talk

To absolutely blast my ears

[dry lava]

I just wanna jump in and out of matches fast

[naive magnet]

Mi-240 Super Hind takes 20% more damage from all projectiles

Okayyyy

[dry lava]

Needed nerf I heard, personally haven't been bothered much by them but the rest of the folk say otherwise.

[naive magnet]

Alright; they didn’t make any note of the capture glitch on conquest, the dozer revives forcing a knife with the inability to do anything, or nerfs of any meta weapons

[dry lava]

RM68's everywhere

It's crazy

[naive magnet]

If you can’t beat em, join em

[fresh lintel]

Hinds can be very intrusive to the gameplay, and given that flares basically negate lock ons it was needed.

[ebon pilot]

but I already got it to T1

[dry lava]

Yeah, loved the general feel of the gun as well, and it's too damn good. It's hard not to use it a lot.

[fresh lintel]

Makes it so when it fucks up and tries running its not going to survive without good movement

[naive magnet]

20% is pretty significant

[carmine rover]

YAY

[dry lava]

Good amount of nerf I think. Enough to reduce usage but still is a viable option.

[next onyx]

Eh they'll still be overpowered.

As long as that nose gunner exists they'll steamroll anything.

[white geyser]

Alright I finally use the MCX rifle (M5A3) in BF 2042, unlocked the attachments, and this gun is pretty good

[dry lava]

I see.

[carmine rover]

should i wait to get Lis t1 next week or keep grinding for it now

and will the new update let us remove vault weapon attachments?

[quaint vector]

Keep the grind On

[naive magnet]

Id still use her

[next onyx]

Everything, Moder.

We can make guns as if they're fresh again.

[naive magnet]

Nestle©️

[carmine rover]

yippie

will that let me remove the Bipod from the Ntw

PLEASE TELL ME

PLEASE

i need it GONE

[ebon pilot]

ehhh maybe?

[next onyx]

Most sane battlefield player.

[carmine rover]

probably not..

since its the only attachment

and theres no factory grip

[next onyx]

I don't really notice it anyways.

[carmine rover]

omg way

everytime i sprint

it blocks 20% of my screen

[next onyx]

Weird.

[carmine rover]

i cant see my right side

at all

[next onyx]

Oh you mean the super sprint.

That's the gun itself.

[carmine rover]

whuh?

[next onyx]

I mean

Ugh.

I super sprint and don't notice it prboably because of my FoV.

[carmine rover]

ah

its terrible.

[next onyx]

What's your FoV?

[carmine rover]

78

is that bad

🥹

[next onyx]

No.

It's personal preference.

[naive magnet]

9 points higher than the nicest setting

[next onyx]

I'd recommend 89.

Which is bf5 105.

[naive magnet]

Im trolling ignore me

[next onyx]

It makes it less of an issue.

[still vault]

FOV is also highly dependent on monitor width

[carmine rover]

i have to keep switching guns. back and forth between primary and secondary

[next onyx]

You're fine dude.

[carmine rover]

because the bipod is way too big

[next onyx]

Ah yeah that too.

[carmine rover]

its also incredibly long. people can see me coming around the corner before i even go around it

[pine roost]

94 fov for the win

[next onyx]

You mad man.

[carmine rover]

i hate that bipod

This is society if the NTW 50 didnt have a bipod

[rocky kraken]

has anyone noticed weird texture resolution in 2042

like some areas of terrain

like manifest

is like 240p

[pine roost]

Can’t you just not use the bipod

[next onyx]

Oh yeah I know how you feel now.

I dunno I always managed to look through it.

[carmine rover]

😭

[next onyx]

I was always at ranges where it wouldn't be an issue because of how the weapon worked.

[carmine rover]

i literally cant see the right side of my screen

[carmine rover]

you cant flip it up. like other bipods this one is permanent

[next onyx]

I never really found the bipod itself super intrusive weirdly.

[acoustic seal]

the super hind farm continues unimpeded, as does the rm68 farm

[next onyx]

Not trying to say haha it's just a you issue but.

Maybe I just didn't notice it.

[carmine rover]

it okey

[warm halo]

does anyone else use custom colorblind settings for their hud to completely different colors than default?

[drowsy shuttle]

i use default

[naive magnet]

I disagree

[warm halo]

mine is purple and light blue with a little bit of orange

[naive magnet]

20% is significant, across the board

And TOW missile buff makes Attack Helis a lot more capable to duel the Super

[pine roost]

Oh goodness

[acoustic seal]

the change doesn't affect good pilots or people with repbots in the back seats

the farm won't stop until the front gun seat is removed

[fierce gull]

man my game keeps crashing at startup

[naive magnet]

It’s been affected with these changes though, and we can see how this nerf affects the balance

I don’t disagree that the 40mm in a super is disgusting

But their ability to take “dumb” dives has taken a hit now

[fickle wharf]

this

[acoustic seal]

if you pay attention to the gameplay you already know how it's going to work out, this will only affect the bottom half of pilots since good ones already hide behind terrain after one hit/flares and mediocre ones party with repbots

[remote kiln]

meh not really

20% incoming damage boost from all sources is severe

[acoustic seal]

you might get a couple more lucky stinger kills but it's not going to be the game changer you think it is

[remote kiln]

a tank shell will strip 42% in one shot with these changes before the damage increase

[naive magnet]

If you want to make an argument about the quality of the pilot, then we’re already discussing something different, how the top 1% of players play a specific role of any kind, vs the 95-99% of the community isn’t really a fair argument

Plus TOWs got a buff

[remote kiln]

I get their intention with not wanting to lower folks using the transports, so increasing its damage take is the next best option

[naive magnet]

So now attack helis I don’t think will get outdueled by the super

[acoustic seal]

it's important because the good ones are the ones farming entire matches and going 160-0, which is the complaint

[naive magnet]

They have much higher ability to chase down kills with these changes

[next onyx]

They're more gunships than they are actual transports.

[remote kiln]

the condor* will be

[next onyx]

They both are gunships.

[remote kiln]

the hind will be second tier with these changes, 20% is a lot to take no matter how many engineers you've got

[next onyx]

They're better than a damn Apache at its job.

[sharp marten]

Buff Apache

[naive magnet]

I agree

[acoustic seal]

wait are you playing conquest?

[naive magnet]

I play conquest 128 mainly

[next onyx]

(Then again anything is better than an Apache)

[acoustic seal]

yeah these changes do absolutely fuck all in breakthrough

[remote kiln]

also why is nobody mentioning that flare warnings are switched off during hacks now

[acoustic seal]

defense gets no vehicles

[remote kiln]

this will be critical

[rocky kraken]

rip

[naive magnet]

I mean that’s your fault for playing breakthrough and expecting balance

[rocky kraken]

imma be honest

i havent seen an apache since laucnh

[naive magnet]

It’s literally unbalanced on the offset

[acoustic seal]

they're turning off the "PRESS BUTTON" prompt, not the lock warning

[naive magnet]

I run with Apache main pilot

[next onyx]

BT can be balanced.

But this game it's just whatever.

[naive magnet]

Equal vehicles = balance to me

[remote kiln]

yeah, that warning is critical to knowing if a rocket is coming or not

it's going to be crucial once it's implemented

[acoustic seal]

bro your ears?

[naive magnet]

It’s like they give attackers 5 heavys and defense 2 LATV4s

[remote kiln]

yeah let's not pretend like defenders on breakthrough are supposed to win

it's literally in the gamemode name

[rocky kraken]

hehehehah

still made hourglass isnt coming out this season

though its probably a good thing

[remote kiln]

it'd be, unexpected call it if manifest and hourglass were released at once

cool playlist tho

[proud gorge]

@arctic grove they did it lol

[bitter skiff]

im in love

[dapper river]

jesus, finally

[arctic grove]

Damn that took forever

[drowsy shuttle]

meanwhile Boris t1 mastery still requires 60.000 damage from his peashooter sentry

[spiral folio]

They need to set the turn rate on the lis rockets back to normal

Also with 500m range

And i want a free shirt

[severe sequoia]

Hell no

[spiral folio]

Your opinion has been officially voided and changed to approval

[bitter skiff]

gavel.

[spiral folio]

-everyone nods and shakes hands-

[arctic grove]

Hell no 2

[spiral folio]

Its already been decided

[arctic grove]

Dark times when they put Lissles to like what 600 meters range

[spiral folio]

I didnt say 600

[arctic grove]

Yeah but 500 is close enough

[spiral folio]

It's literally not even close

And a much better number

[arctic grove]

Difference being 100 meters

Anything above 400 is too much range, 400 itself is stupid range but I digress

[spiral folio]

475.. very annoying to type and say

500 is nice and even fewer different numbers

[severe sequoia]

25m is enough

[arctic grove]

Off the topic of “well technically” about the numbers it’s still too much

[spiral folio]

I will compromise with 25 but i get to pick the units

[arctic grove]

I believe 0 is the perfect balance

But nah jokes aside

n o h

[next onyx]

Oh yeah Levi Dozer feels like a normal soldier because of his limited specialities.

[spiral folio]

And a shield that ignores all physics and logic

[next onyx]

This game does that.

[spiral folio]

But glaaaze over that

[next onyx]

Sorry for the random side topic I only remembered to tell you that because you appeared here.

[arctic grove]

Yea that’s why I like him and Casper probably the most out of the specialists tbh

[arctic grove]

All good

[next onyx]

I'm starting to enjoy him because of flak jacket.

Just feels right.

[arctic grove]

I’d play dozer more but the ads speed on everyone just makes me sad

[next onyx]

I manage it but... Yeah.

[spiral folio]

So we've decided lis rockets should have 25km range and be able to toggle boost and thrust was the agreement

Also can spot things

[arctic grove]

[severe sequoia]

[spiral folio]

And able to shoot

[next onyx]

You might like this then lmao.

[spiral folio]

Like the "Funnels" in Gundam

[arctic grove]

I’d be pissed

[next onyx]

It's odd.

But hey.

DOZER.

[arctic grove]

Dozer and Casper also have my favorite customizations

[next onyx]

BUSH.

[arctic grove]

Their shtick as the faceless characters leaves a lot of really cool options

[next onyx]

Aye.

His base skin reminds me of ghost recon because of the eye wear.

& Mask.

Come to think of it. Think we'll see his face?

[pine roost]

haha, leaves

[radiant prism]

oh me oh my time for another day of dozer :)

[ebon pilot]

comedy

[radiant prism]

when youre going ham on those fellas

[warm stirrup]

Why does condor only take 10% increased damage opposed to the super hind taking 20%? In new update?

[dapper river]

my favorite bug when playing dozer is everyone t-posing when they get bashed

my least favorite bug when playing dozer is all the fucking ghost bashes that do 0 damage

[radiant prism]

Because the Condor is less maneuverable

It can fly fast in flight mode, but in hover mode when its weapons can be properly put to use its practically a sitting duck

[warm stirrup]

What is cyber warfare protection? New thing coming to brawler

[radiant prism]

prevents it from being hacked, I think

while active

[warm stirrup]

Oof

[radiant prism]

its like flares but for hacks only

[dapper river]

looks like Rao forgot his password

again

[arctic grove]

I’m glad they put the slightly less damage on the condor for that reason

[carmine rover]

meow

[arctic grove]

Bro is on a rampage 💀 😭

[wide shore]

20% more damage with launchers on the hind is a big fuckin W

No new vault weapons, especially my baby. Is a big L

[severe sequoia]

Just need weapon balance, more attachments for vault weapons and i'm happy

And ofc fix all the shit

[carmine rover]

no bipod for ntw and im happy

[subtle crag]

Why's there only like 2 characters that can use launchers now

[upbeat sluice]

Nerf the SPH dice I beg of you

[plain hamlet]

what’s y’all opinion on the M16A3

[radiant prism]

man the Rorsch is better than I remember

77 kills attacking on Flashpoint

a good number of those were G57 and shield kills tbh

but

It was a very reliable primary

[drowsy shuttle]

Second best vault weapon after the gol

[plain hamlet]

honestly it’s the only vault weapon i’m liking rn

[radiant prism]

M16 is very good yeah

haven't used it in ages admittedly

but damn

[sharp marten]

Still no AN-94

[opal compass]

The EMKV90-TOR no longer shakes as it sits on rugged terrain in siege mode. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

The Most Annoying thing got fixed

[next onyx]

Good general assault rifle.

[white dagger]

Oh lord oh my god they are doing it. You can remove attachments with the upcoming update. Oh my I start loving this game more every day. I was hoping for this to get added since the very first months after release

[drowsy shuttle]

Just played a different BT layout on Breakaway, was probably only for FNB, but i think having different BT layouts for all maps regularly and randomly, would be a great way to keep the maps "fresh". Think about it Dice.

[eager spire]

🤔

probably.

[dapper river]

two shots per reload is stupid, stupid!! what were they thinking??

[carmine rover]

why was it deleted ):

[dapper river]

dozer should be able to facetank that shit too, with more than 10hp, and if you stick his shield it should negate the damage entirely

[still vault]

I deleted it. No name and shame please.

[chilly jacinth]

feels good to get spawned killed by a heli

it doesnt make me quit the match at all

[still vault]

Gotta remove the name if you want to post the video.

[carmine rover]

no name and shame? wdym

ohh

sory

[radiant talon]

Agree with that, would be great

[still vault]

No worry. 🙂

[drowsy shuttle]

I think so too. If anybody has a way to pass the idea to someone at Dice, go for it.

[carmine rover]

but wut do you think carb .

looks fishy

[ebon pilot]

Improved HUD visibility across a number of different screen settings.
I hope they fixed the resupply button so it's not all the way on the right side of the screen

[next onyx]

@radiant talon Wait different layout?

Hunh?

[still vault]

Could be I suppose

[radiant talon]

The maps are big, they deserve to be used better in modes like BT

[next onyx]

Yeah where does it start?

Also

hi

[radiant talon]

Also gonna post this here

[next onyx]

[radiant talon]

[next onyx]

I'm so proud of you.

[radiant talon]

[acoustic seal]

crunching the maps would make them play better in cq too

[radiant talon]

thank you

[next onyx]

You told me different layout.

What happens

What.

[radiant talon]

[next onyx]

Ur welcome

[radiant talon]

They should use different layouts for BT, that is what the idea is

Smh

[white dagger]

Congrats! How long did it take? And most importantly, was it pure pain or actually fun?

[next onyx]

Stop beating around the bush otherwise I'll find out where you live.

I DUNNO THE DIFFERENT LAYOUT.

[warm stirrup]

Breakthrough only has 2 layouts silly
128 and 64
Friday night battlefield probably uses 64

[radiant talon]

I love the Apache and helis in general, so it was fun

[still vault]

it does

[radiant talon]

Sometimes pain though

[drowsy shuttle]

It was me, i played BT breakaway in FNB and started like old layout.. with the last sector of the current BT breakway layout.. basically backwards

[radiant talon]

AA can be too much in this game

[next onyx]

Oh wait.

That.

Original 64 layout?

Cool.

[drowsy shuttle]

Yeah. And i just got the idea that having diferent layouts or reverse layouts regularly and randomly in all maps for BT would be a great way to keep the maps "fresh"

[magic yoke]

What knife has the fastest animation?

[white dagger]

I do love helis too. I loved them in the beta, literally loved them. But the AA nowadays is crazy and I’m too bad to get more than 2 kills in one match with helis 😦

[next onyx]

Default.

[warm stirrup]

Next-gen consoles and pc players use the 128 layout for breakthrough even though it was removed

[next onyx]

And or bad co 2 animation.

[warm stirrup]

Friday night battlefield uses the og 64 layouts

Breakthrough plays differently per gen given the two different layouts

[upbeat sluice]

Give me throwing knife skins

I wanna throw shurikens

[warm stirrup]

Frag grenade tier 1 skin when dice?

[upbeat sluice]

Yessssss

Tier 1 c5

[ebon pilot]

I think having multiple variations of the one map per season would be interesting. So DICE can focus on making assets for one location, but reuse them to create different locations in the same locale. So like Exposure would have the landslide but also could have another area of the base like the main entrance to the base. Then you'd have multiple BT variations going through the large maps and multiple small variations for TDM-type, Rush-type, and Conquest Small modes.

[warm stirrup]

Breakthrough and conquest already have different layouts

128 and 64 version

[ebon pilot]

This also lets them keep seasonal themes and reuse materials effectively, but greatly increases replayablility

[ebon pilot]

I know, but there could be more layouts

[mortal stratus]

Damn months later this game isn't fun to play still

[ebon pilot]

Like 2 128 player layouts, 4 64 player layouts, etc etc

[true bluff]

Bro i still cant find servers with population

Every server has been 2-4 pop since tuesday

[warm stirrup]

Crossplay on?

[true bluff]

Yeah

[carmine rover]

there needs to be a tier 1 skin of everything 😭

tier 1 armor plate skin
tier 1 medpen skin
tier 1 eod bot skin

[warm stirrup]

Time of day?

[true bluff]

4:22

[radiant talon]

T1 gadgets would be cool

[warm stirrup]

4pm people should be playing

[true bluff]

Usually could find a server with pop in 5 seconds at this time

[chilly jacinth]

pretty sure matchmaking just breaks sometimes

and searches forever for the lols

[warm stirrup]

Think most of the replayability in this game is diminished when there's no incentive past like level 80 and you unlock everything

Game lacks content, people play different games

[drowsy shuttle]

I died 10 times. 8 of the times were from rm68. Pretty cool

[eager spire]

when you stop having stuff to unlock and you're just left with...the game

[true bluff]

Just realized i had crossplay off 💀💀 insta found a match

[mortal stratus]

The lowest quality game ever

[drowsy shuttle]

Welcome to my world. I need discarded for yesterday

[warm stirrup]

To be fair there's a huge amount of content, just split into 4 different sections due to portal

If you could create a server and allow croas-era content for both teams...would have been cool

[drowsy shuttle]

Im so bored and with nothing relevant to T1, that i decided to finally T1 the MCS-800 in the era of the RM68. Yeah im a maniac.

[radiant talon]

I don't see the RM68 so much any more, I see a lot of the APC-9 though

[mortal stratus]

And my first game had a blatant hacker 😂

[warm stirrup]

Imagine if you could tier 1 every weapon? Including portal weapons?

Would have gave people incentive to host servers besides 2042

[mortal stratus]

If the game had somewhat decent camos to grind for it'll already be better

[royal viper]

locking so much behind paywalls does kinda suck

[mental delta]

The new BP sucks as well, at least it doesn't prevent a major part of the community to play with new content but we get 1 map every 3 months now

[warm stirrup]

Most of it isn't even behind a paywall. Just spread out into 4 separate games in portal

[mental delta]

Portal is never gonna be updated though

It's a dead gamemode and they know it

[dusky tulip]

The mp28 side arm is absolutely pointless

[mental delta]

A little less dead than Hazard Zone

But dead too

[dusky tulip]

its not auto fire, and its also very weak you empty a clip into the enemy and he wont die

[mental delta]

It makes like 0 damages

[mortal stratus]

Because people play portal for something else than xp boosting?

[dusky tulip]

I play portal because I like seeing older weapons

[mental delta]

Portal wasn't a good idea even before it released tbh

[mental delta]

A lot of them are in AOW now

[drowsy shuttle]

Hum? Unless they nerfed it in the last update, its the second best secundary behind the g57 ... its the only 2 secondarys i have t1

[warm stirrup]

Had they chose more prominent games to be in portal it would have done better probably

[dusky tulip]

Maybe I tried it today its terrible

[warm stirrup]

Why was bc2 or 1942 added to portal?

Failed opportunity to choose better games

[arctic grove]

are we going to have another free skin on shutdown mod next week or is this the last one?

[dapper river]

because people have been bitching about remakes/remasters for those games for years, longer than remakes for BF3/BF4

[dapper river]

it's the last week

[arctic grove]

oh

i guess 2 skins are ok

[dusky tulip]

where do I play the AOW mode ?

[fossil trench]

AOW is just the normal standard gamemodes

[dusky tulip]

Oh I see thanks

[fossil trench]

Yeah like the official gamemodes. Conquest, breakthrough, etc

[dusky tulip]

is the glock still the best side arm

[karmic egret]

I'm split with these patch notes

[drowsy shuttle]

Like van damme?

[karmic egret]

I don't think the gunshi- I mean transport nerf went far enough

[warm stirrup]

Anybody else notice they mention jumping from top of the antenna in the reworked discarded? They trying to bring back the jump from breakaway?

[fossil trench]

That was the original pitch for Portal

Basically bring back maps and guns from older games

And have it entirely customizable

[warm stirrup]

Bf4 and bf1 would have sold more in portal no?

[fossil trench]

I’m pretty sure it’s because both of those games are on last gen

[eager spire]

lol

no

what the fuck are you talking about

[fossil trench]

BF3 and older aren’t on last gen

[royal swan]

Why did they make the condor take 10% damage while the hind takes 20%

That's a big difference

[fossil trench]

Lol what

[eager spire]

why did they do a lot of things in this game

[fossil trench]

Is that new?

[karmic egret]

Because the hind is a helicopter and more manuvrable

[royal swan]

Yeah

[warm stirrup]

Patch notes

[fossil trench]

Condor is more OP imo

Much faster

[karmic egret]

Why didnt they remove the cannon

[warm stirrup]

Why condor take less damage then?

[fossil trench]

Exactly lol

[acoustic seal]

yo i finally got fanmail in all chat

[fossil trench]

Who tf knows

[acoustic seal]

my life is complete

turn on all chat by default now thanks

[arctic grove]

Lis Bae

[carmine rover]

i can finally do her tier 1 now 🥹🥹

im so happy

[remote meteor]

No vault weapons getting to AOW with this patch or anything else that is new. Just map rework. Super Hind and Mav getting more damage when hit is the biggest change

Rip

I wonder how many seasons we will need to wait for attachments on vault weapons

[carmine rover]

or vault weapon t1 skins

i salivating at the mouth for a m416 t1 skin

or m1911

[spare quest]

skill issue

[carmine rover]

i got halfway 🥹

give me som credit

😢

[spare quest]

it was easy enough before they decided to change her mastery

[carmine rover]

EASY?

[spare quest]

I got engineer class t1 before lis t1 but it was fun

[carmine rover]

tell me your secrets

[vast citrus]

No

[spare quest]

Hardcore servers or those vehicle portal modes were very helpful

[acoustic seal]

can't believe there's no rm68 nerf

[drowsy shuttle]

My guess is going to get nerfed in season 5

While some other weapon becomes the new rm68

[carmine rover]

hopefully they will add the UMP smg

thatll be rlly cool

[mental delta]

It's the main mode lmao you can't miss it

[subtle crag]

Conquest ?

[carmine rover]

Conquest. Breakthrough. Rush. Team deathmatch

every mode except portal

is AOW

[ivory canopy]

PBX is basically the UMP so I doubt they'd do it

[dusky tulip]

I am unlocking the weapons one by one and trying to do it in online not solo which kinda takes a lot

[hallow sierra]

rush xl is fun

[subtle crag]

I really struggle to find any fun at all in bigger modes
must be missing something

[edgy oriole]

if youre playing CQ you just gotta figure out what point both teams decided to be the TDM area and do that.

[drowsy shuttle]

Dont tell anyone i said this, but im starting to dig the mcs 800

[edgy oriole]

BTq the fun is in front of you at all time

[subtle crag]

spawn, get fucked by a sniper, spawn, get fucked by a jet, spawn on a grenade, spawn in front of an enemy, spawn in vehicle that explodes a second later

cant seem to manage to live more than a full minute lmao

still manage to make middle of the score board so there's that >:)

[copper ice]

Thats the patch notes?

10% more damage to condor?

That's it?

[copper ice]

it's 4hk out to like, 75m

not weak just not auto

[edgy oriole]

this what im excited about

[copper ice]

basic qol features that the game should have had on launch are always nice, but at the same time they really really should have been here 10 months ago

[edgy oriole]

they here now baby thats all that matters

[copper ice]

not enough to make up for condor only taking 10% more damage!!!

10%!!!

bloody NOTHING

[carmine rover]

20%

[spare quest]

20% for hind

[mental delta]

fI unlocked some of them thanks to solo mode ngl

[dusky tulip]

I unlock the attachments in solo mode, but the weapons themselves I don't feel a rush to, I keep them as motivation to try different guns

[copper ice]

Should have been 40% for hind and 30% for condor

[dusky tulip]

finding an Ammo crate in this game is like finding heaven

[copper ice]

they're still untouchable with flares

[mental delta]

Yeah I understand, I like vault guns because it gives me a reason to keep playing this game

[dusky tulip]

playing for nothing like no unlocks is not as exciting

[mental delta]

Yeah it feels bad so that's why when I'll get to complete this season's BP I'll leave until next season comes out

[hallow sierra]

im almost to 1k bc

so i can get the bp

[dusky tulip]

DM7 or SVK ?

[drowsy shuttle]

Svk

But i wish dm7 was.more powerfull

[dusky tulip]

Im playing the DM7 just because its required to unlock a vault weapon but its decent ?!

[drowsy shuttle]

Decent..ish

For me its the best good looking gun in the game.. even the default skin is good

[dusky tulip]

It does look nice

[drowsy shuttle]

But its underpower...

[dusky tulip]

but the SVK firepower is 70, and rate is 220, DM firepower is 70 rate is 300

idk why the SVK feels superior

[ivory canopy]

Stats don't really tell much of anything

The game says the M44 has a faster RoF than the Super 500, which is VERY MUCH false

[drowsy shuttle]

Svk is a 2 shot kill

[ivory canopy]

SVK definitely feels nice to use in a way the DM7 doesn't quite as much

Even with the standard ammo (you gotta unlock it)

[wide shore]

Svk extended mag and 3x thermal

It’s a menace

[copper ice]

The stat bars are literally all lies in 2042

[dusky tulip]

Thats it's best feature

[wide shore]

It also isn’t a 2 shot at all ranges, at least not with standard ammo

[copper ice]

Dm7 is 3 shot kill to 100m, svk is 2 shot kill to 100m with standard ammo

with extended mag, svk has the same mag size as dm7 standard ammo

and with short barrel svk kills faster than dm7

dm7 is just worse for no reason

[twilit flower]

is sundance now a counter to dozer cuz of this patch? scatter not reflecting means u can just throw it on the shield and the explosives surround dozer right?

[copper ice]

lower kills per mag worse kill times etc

[drowsy shuttle]

Im not sure.. but i dont think dm7 is a 3 shot kill... at least when i play with it surely doesnt feel a 3 shot kill lol

[wide shore]

He has explosive resistance. I don’t know if it would kill him outright.

[dusky tulip]

DM7 has a slightly higher rate of fire, I am gonna try it with the short barrel and see how fast the rate goes

[twilit flower]

oh yeaaa i KEEP forgetting about that

[copper ice]

yeah but dozer still has explosive resistance and can just walk through before the cluster explodes

[wide shore]

Best way to deal with Dozer is incendiary grenade launchers.

[twilit flower]

can dozer climb with his shield out?

[wide shore]

No

[copper ice]

It's 2 shots if you hit the head, but 3 shots normally
I miss more shots with dm7 than svk though which makes it more like 4 or 5

[dusky tulip]

nvm DM has no short barrel option

[copper ice]

imo it's easier to land 2 hits than 3

[copper ice]

another reason dm7 sucks lol

Idk why some weapons get short barrel and others don't

It's a flat upgrade 99% of the time

[dusky tulip]

yeah long barrels are mostly not useful

[radiant prism]

Long barrel can be nice for long range stuff

especially on something like the DM7

But besides that yeah youre much better off with the short barrel

[copper ice]

Trading rof for velocity is borderline useless outside of snipers and taking potshots at very distant targets

[radiant prism]

I mean yeah thats what im talking about

[copper ice]

if you're taking potshots you're usually better off doing something else rather than taking the time to swap barrel just to shoot at people outside of consistent kill distance

[radiant prism]

hang on im gonna go get a margarita and get back to you

[dusky tulip]

The long barrels reduce the firepower !! and fire rate

[copper ice]

I still take long barrel on most guns as an option, but i use it like.. once in every 5 matches

Usually for about 10 seconds

Then back to short barrel/wrapped suppressor

If it boosted your velocity by like 50% I'd start considering it

[radiant prism]

I mean yeah thats whats nice about it

can i stop saying i mean yeah

smh

anyway

margarita acquired

The nice thing about long barrel being a thing is just having the option

the benefit of the plus system is giving you those options that you might need for those situations where its beneficial

[twilit flower]

by how much does it boost? and where do u see that

[radiant prism]

you can probably go to like sym.gg and see the actual stats

[twilit flower]

anyone else got the bug that if u swap between barrels of the BSV-M, the rate of fire just stays at 400?

[radiant prism]

if youre using the HP ammo then its gonna stay

afaik

I think is mostly the ammo type that determines ROF change there

[twilit flower]

is that intended or a bug?

[copper ice]

cqc mag on bsv boosts rof a bunch but short suppressor is intended to also boost rof

[radiant prism]

Yeah I guess

[copper ice]

Its hard to tell what is and isn't a bug with dice

[radiant prism]

But its not the attachment that absolutely cranks the ROF like the CQC mag

since tbh

[dusky tulip]

does the ranger robot count as a kill ?

[drowsy shuttle]

The inconsistency of the mcs 800 is what makes it a frustrating weapon to use. Other than that its cool

[radiant prism]

those HP rounds would be fucking busted at 800 rpm

[radiant prism]

no. it gives you the xp for it but its a separate thing

[karmic egret]

Australia post in a nutshell, wheres my goddamn CPU

[copper ice]

My issue with this is almost none of the attachments are actually useful enough to swap out even in niche scenarios

[radiant prism]

When it comes to like grips and stuff yeah I agree

but being able to take on/off a grenade launcher is def nice at times

Or swap GL types

[copper ice]

Even when I'm at long range it's normally more efficient to tap fire with short barrel while they're in view than swap out to long barrel and get caught with my pants down

[radiant prism]

yeah thats fair

[copper ice]

I personally think having access to 3 different UBGLs is insanely OP

[karmic egret]

Is Totalfps Swedish

[copper ice]

not that i don't abuse the fuck out of it

But i really don't think you should be able to carry that many nades

[radiant prism]

I mean its busted on paper, but in practice I dont see much wrong with it

[copper ice]

At the very least they should share an ammo pool

[radiant prism]

Especially for something like the SFARM that has a built in GL its definitely nice since theres nothing else you can put down there

heh

SFARM

its funny because its farm

:)

[copper ice]

sym.gg; they're using old stats from season 2 but the majority of it is still accurate

[radiant prism]

this keyboard is so clickyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

oh sym is a bit outdated yeah :/

Isnt there another site though?

I feel like Way would know

or Poetic or someone

[copper ice]

It just feels wonky to me when the actual grenades you pick are severely limited in capacity but you're carrying around 9 40mms for the ubgls

Every time you walk over an ammo box you get 1 frag and 3 ubgls

[twilit flower]

can i see on sym the changes an extended barrel does? if so, how?

[copper ice]

Sym.gg, then click on weapon comparison for battlefield 2042

Put dm7 into both options

[radiant prism]

so ive had to buy an external keyboard

for my laptop

because my keys stopped workeing

[copper ice]

Pick extended barrel in the third attachment option for one of the dm7s

There's a checkbox for highlighting only the differences between them

[hallow sierra]

i didnt know rush was this fun

[radiant prism]

I should play rush as dozer

that sounds fun

[copper ice]

Makes dm7 go from 800 velocity to 920 velocity

which is like

[hallow sierra]

i already t1 flack

[copper ice]

practically really small

While dropping rof from 300 to 250

Which is practically really big

[severe sequoia]

My posture is so bad man

[radiant prism]

mine too

back hurts from carrying

[severe sequoia]

hahaha amen

[radiant prism]

...carrying my shield around

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1097275266163802233/1097283600883384380/Dozer_Ready_1.gif

[severe sequoia]

The shield has to weight like 200kg with his movement

[hallow sierra]

me and the boys

[twilit flower]

oh extended barrel on sfar, is like
-15% firerate
+20% proj. velocity

[radiant prism]

I mean, its completely bulletproof. I wouldn't doubt it

The issue with -15% rof and +20% velocity is that 15% rof is really impactful while 20% velocity... is not

only for snipers really

[radiant prism]

I've had decent success using like the LCMG or SFAR with long barrel for engaging at long range

Its decently helpful

I can understand the lack of incentive to use though

[rocky kraken]

yalll think they will ever do a movement/gunplay update

[copper ice]

my main beef with it is that for it to make up for the lowered rof it has to boost your hitrate notably, which it tends to not actually do

Velocity is already high on most weapons

I'm willing to bet you're good enough to land those hits mostly yourself and long barrel isn't actually doing much to assist

[radiant prism]

maybe

but the long barrel does at least make it a little easier

[copper ice]

i did try it on lcmg for a while for long range stuff too, and then i realised i could just fart out even more bullets with short barrel

[radiant prism]

i mean dice said themselves, the plus system was never meant to entirely transform weapons

except on things like the BSV-M

[copper ice]

i definitely missed more but i was also putting out more so the kill times were similar while short barrel gimps you way less up close

yeah but my beef is that i barely even use it right now

If they removed plus system entirely I wouldn't notice on 90% of guns

Which are all using 1.25x sight, largest mag size available, ubgl (if not available then laser sight), short barrel (if not available then wrapped suppressor)

i swap optics sometimes yeah

if it was entirely removed id probably be using the dual optics instead

[dusky tulip]

whats the point of the BCG light grip

[copper ice]

but thats about it

[severe sequoia]

They need to nerf the RM68

I'm starting to lose my sanity

[karmic egret]

Alex has said he wouldnt

[copper ice]

🤨

[severe sequoia]

Really?

[random path]

Less spread

[karmic egret]

asked a couple of days ago

[severe sequoia]

Did he say why? They should look up and see what the most used guns are. Lots of people here are ranting about it including me.

[copper ice]

wow he literally did just say no

[dusky tulip]

I dont understand what "Aimdown sight accuracy" even do, is it not accurate enough when aiming ?

[copper ice]

What does it say exactly?

[next onyx]

Ads spread most likely.

[karmic egret]

pretty much

[dusky tulip]

basically the BCG grip increases aim down accuracy

but what is aim down accuracy increase actually means Idk

less sway ?

[drowsy shuttle]

I dont believe him.

Was probably joking

[karmic egret]

I asked him

[drowsy shuttle]

I believe you, i just think he was probably joking

I mean.. they have to..

[copper ice]

Ah, ads spread

[karmic egret]

if he was joking it would have been in the patch notes

[copper ice]

The spread is lower

[drowsy shuttle]

My guess is going to get nerfed in 5.0 update

[copper ice]

But spread in 2042 is already very low

[severe sequoia]

I thought they listened to the community

[copper ice]

When several hundred thousand people play your game you can do literally anything and point to a couple hundred people who asked for it

Such a meaningless thing for them to advertise themselves with

totally just done for optics

Where's my bolte buff where it can fly and ram helicopters

[severe sequoia]

Pretty sure the playerbase is no close to 100k even

[copper ice]

Good point!

Rm68 will get nerfed once there's a new battlepass

[drowsy shuttle]

Exactly. 5.0 update

When theres a new brand broken weapon lol

[dusky tulip]

Does Melee with a baton give longer reach and more damage than a knife ?

[drowsy shuttle]

Doubt

But its a good question

[dusky tulip]

It did in BF5 I think

Ranger dog is OP man lol

[hardy crow]

So have the devs addressed the Claymore bug and if they're working on fixing it yet?

Claymore placement bug

[kindred flint]

ability to remove Weapon Attachments from Weapons within the Collections Screen.
what in the fuck, someone at dice figured this out?? give that man a raise immediately

wait why do you guys want the rm68 nerfed? dice is totally fine with the sfars state

[hallow sierra]

wait i havent use it yet

let me nerf it after i get it t1

[kindred flint]

New - 10 Kills and Assists when destroying Vehicles with the G-84 TGM
wtf they on a role with these fixes! some serious man power must have been needed to figure these things out

[severe sequoia]

Only 210 fixes left

[dusky tulip]

just unlocked the m1911 side arm

[mental delta]

It has only 7 bullets though

[full burrow]

maybe they hired an extra person

look at the programming power when 7.5 people combine to work on a game

[mental delta]

Lmao the fuck are you talking about

[tidal trail]

Finally the hind is getting nerfed

[mental delta]

Damages you inflict to it are higher

[severe sequoia]

I genuinely think it's still gonna be a shitshow. Still gonna have 2 crawfords repairing it.

[dusky tulip]

specs look good though

[tidal trail]

20% per projectile more damage. So less rockets overall needed to take it down

[rocky kraken]

NAW

dice should rework el alemein

fr

[mortal stratus]

It's getting the lowest nerf it could have ever gotten

[tidal trail]

Better than nothing I suppose

[mortal stratus]

Of course

But still bad and unbalanced

[safe bramble]

can't wait for all the transport sweats to move onto the next most broken vehicle: tor

[hexed mango]

ripple effect is needed to save the city of sand

[copper ice]

No flare nerf means hind is still a massive pain in the ass

[mental delta]

Specs ?

[hallow sierra]

depends on the person tho

[copper ice]

Not really

[queen sky]

is this the right place to ask a friends related question?

[copper ice]

Its still going to tank multiple m5 shots

That makes it a pain

[dusky tulip]

What does "dog tags taken" do ? after a Melee kill

[wispy raven]

salamonki

[dusky tulip]

Where do I find these dog tags

[main nimbus]

Go to player card and tags

You'll see all of em you took

Can't do anything with em they're just trophies

[kindred flint]

so glad this LTM is only 8v8...easier to leave matches and find a new one fast

[arctic grove]

How’d spy die?

Can’t really say I care anyways

[ancient peak]

Dunno why I should use any other weapon than the rm68

[arctic grove]

There’s actually no reason to if you want the most effective ar you can play with

Which is unfortunate

[ancient peak]

Doesn’t look like any balance in sight either

Great gun design dice

[arctic grove]

Yeah it’s really unfortunate since it made the game a bit stale. Before people realized how good the SFAR was and before the RM68 you at least occasionally saw every AR

Now it’s just pain

[copper ice]

ar is most effective gun type and rm68 is most effective AR

hooray for balance

[main nimbus]

Is it possible to finish the battle pass before all the weekly missions come out

[copper ice]

Yeah
