battlefield-2042

[patent prism]

No.

[small swan]

like cluster granade + lis rocket

aw

[patent prism]

Nope.

[vapid lily]

i see people with S1 S2 instead of lvl on his name and they all use M5A3, maybe I should reconsider my options

[small swan]

and how or where do i unlock the grande that tracks flying stuff ?

[kindred flint]

didnt they remove that?

[patent prism]

That specific gadget belonged to Sundance and is long gone.

[spare pasture]

Removed

[small swan]

aw :c

i saw a video and i wanted that

[kindred flint]

along with the poison nade

[slim marlin]

wtf are tactical weapons

[kindred flint]

shotguns

[spare pasture]

The shotguns and the weird ones

[kindred flint]

the tactical weapon slot on the right side

[patent prism]

Shotguns, Rorsch, Ghostmaker, etc

[slim marlin]

danke fellas

[kindred flint]

first game total landslide victory....into blackscreen lets goooo

[slim marlin]

well that'll be easy as fuck

[kindred flint]

yeah its a dumb challenge

[slim marlin]

peak bf 2042 matchmaking

[kindred flint]

bro i couldnt even get kills the enemy was so bad

[kindred flint]

got top revives...but holy shit we pushed them back into their spawn so quickly i couldnt even farm kills myself, top dude a s500 had 77 though

so he has a full shitbucket this season already

[patent prism]

I'd love to join in making fun of that idea, but unfortunately I am tier 49 battle pass so I feel that is outside my prerogative

[kindred flint]

is this ways burner account?

[patent prism]

👀

[small swan]

also, there's a thingy that negates granades

how i counter that ?

[patent prism]

Nah I'm nowhere near Way's level, I just really wanted the G28 and now I have it and am shredding.

[patent prism]

EMP grenades.

[kindred flint]

i got....23? 33 idk points from that match because i was doing spots+tactical kills, then swapped over to revives with smoke for the rest of the game...trying to get 15 kills close up

so im close to lvl 40

[small swan]

wouldnt it counter that grande too ?

[kindred flint]

you have 2 EMP nades

[small swan]

no, i mean

[kindred flint]

once the trophy system activates, its on cool down for 5 seconds?

[patent prism]

No, Irish's APS does not counter EMP grenades because balance.

[kindred flint]

...wait what

[small swan]

ohhh ok ok

[kindred flint]

bro, why do they do this

[small swan]

so i throw 1 emp

[patent prism]

(I could be full of shit in saying that because I don't play anything other than recon)

[small swan]

and then somebody else has to throw a normal one ?

[patent prism]

Yes.

[kindred flint]

the EMP nade destroys the unit

[small swan]

ok, so i'm screwed

[small swan]

profit

[patent prism]

Take one for the team, fam. You get points for destroying it either way.

[violet elbow]

Not gonna lie. I love the fact that you can use sniper rifle in any class

[kindred flint]

started off my match doing that, got a kill with the emp nade, took out some equipment disrupted some mofos

[violet elbow]

My favorite BF2042 feature so far

[kindred flint]

not gunna lie, i hate snipers even exist in this game...get closer to the damn objective you campers smh

[patent prism]

I love snipers.

Such easy targets.

[kindred flint]

ez kills?

[patent prism]

Precisely.

[kindred flint]

the RM was such a glorious anti sniper gun holy shit..

[patent prism]

They don't even move when you hit them.

[kindred flint]

single fire tap tap tap, dead 150m away

[small swan]

sniper = 🌼

you are too delicate to actually play

[kindred flint]

then on the flip side im using an SMG, and i see 3 sniper glints appear and all start shooting me and i have no cover and not enough heal darts

[patent prism]

I used to use the Xceed a lot when I had just unlocked it but in an offensive role with heavy suppressor and subsonics just to piss people off.

[small swan]

at least, so far

i never got 1 shoted by snipers

so they are decently balanced

[patent prism]

Yeah, you either have to be close as fuck or get headshotted.

[kindred flint]

didnt they remove the 1 shot up close to the chest aspect from bolt actions?

[tacit sphinx]

yes

[patent prism]

Entirely?

[kindred flint]

minus the 20mm ofc

[tacit sphinx]

dxr may still have it but i dont think so

[patent prism]

I thought they just nerfed it significantly.

[tacit sphinx]

yeah this was like over a year ago at this point lol

[kindred flint]

nah it was with in 15m it was 1 shot?

[patent prism]

The fuck? How did I miss that?

[kindred flint]

but apparently the number of snipers shooting people at close range was too high

[tacit sphinx]

15-20m, something like that

[kindred flint]

meanwhile we went almost 1.5 seasons before they had the fucking data to nerf the RM lol

[tacit sphinx]

i think 15, 20 does feel a bit high

[patent prism]

Honestly if I wanna be a close up real mean motherhubbard these days I just use the R10 Ghostmaker because that thing OHK to the torso out to 40 meters or some ridiculous distance like that.

[tacit sphinx]

yeah the ghostmaker is nuts tbh

[kindred flint]

daily reminder a tiny bit of metal with a pointy end can kill someone out to 100m...thrown by hand!

[tacit sphinx]

obviously requires some semblance of aim and it suffers pretty significantly once you're outside of that range but im surprised i dont see more people either using it or complaining about it

[patent prism]

[kindred flint]

if you move like you have ADHD...or like way, its harder to get hit by the arrow

[tacit sphinx]

a game is a game, if you can use throwing knives effectively then good on you

[kindred flint]

its more about the absurd 1 shot range lol

when bfv literally...was the template they could use for the damn thing

[patent prism]

I really wish I had aim enough for the throwing knives.

[tacit sphinx]

that's still my point though lol

like if you can hit someone at that range with the throwing knife i don't really have any complaint with it being able to kill

like realistic? no, but throwing knives as a lethal weapon are not realistic in the first place

anyway i want this ghostmaker skin

[patent prism]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIDv1fzS6Hw

[dusk falcon]

"equip"

[patent prism]

"7"

[dusk falcon]

anyways the skin looks sick

[tacit sphinx]

"Lfd10n00b"

[dusk falcon]

but i wont get it sicne the ghostmaker is doodoo

[tacit sphinx]

congrats it is someone else's screenshot from the preview

[dusk falcon]

if you guys think about it the ghostmaker was the original sph

[tacit sphinx]

skill issue

[midnight moon]

What happened to 128 player conquest?

[tacit sphinx]

somewhat unironically

[dusk falcon]

gone reduced to atoms

[patent prism]

With the explosive arrow?

[dusk falcon]

yh

[patent prism]

As much as I love the Ghostmaker, its explosive bolt is pretty shit for my purposes. Regular bolt is a million times better.

[tacit sphinx]

explosive is fun to have in your loadout though

[patent prism]

Oh, absolutely, but I only use it when memeing, other than that I just roll with regular bolt, unless it's some camping cunt.

[kindred flint]

its the principle of the thing

[small swan]

peeps what's the difference betwen accuracy

and handling ?

[patent prism]

Handling is related to recoil control and I think reload speed.

[loud kestrel]

Happymap still work ?????

[ancient peak]

Gotta love playing a match against Enders, watching the chat ride him, only to see him leave halfway through after your team starts winning even a little

It was pretty funny

[patent prism]

Enders is kinda cringe and furthermore pretty toxic.

I had the extreme displeasure of watching one of his videos and then I got him in my recommended so I had to move the mouse cursor a bit and select "Don't recommend this channel again".

[ruby citrus]

accuracy is related to weapon bloom if im not mistaken

[kindred flint]

most based option tbh

[errant scarab]

64 players conquest again?????
💩

[ruby citrus]

lower accuracy the bigger the circle your shots randomly fly in

enders is the guy that does nothing but complain how awful the game is but continues making content for it regularly, right?

[ebon pilot]

yoo i finally got the thermals years after i got it to t1

[ruby citrus]

and said content is nothing but more complaining

[patent prism]

Congratumalations.

[kindred flint]

all while maintaining a super low viewer number even though hes been doing this for a decade?

[ruby citrus]

a decade? jeez

[kindred flint]

but yeah you have to be a super sweaty fuck snap aimer using broken weapons...and then the moment someone gets a kill on you "omg this game is trash wtf"

[ruby citrus]

at least be successful if you wanna be a contrarian so badly

[next onyx]

Enders is such an ass.

He's a creature of his emotions.

[kindred flint]

and totally not sus

[ruby citrus]

but bro im just saying the things everyone is thinking but is too afraid to say

[kindred flint]

dice banning him for a week was good content

[ruby citrus]

lmfao what did he do

be abusive in comms or something

[patent prism]

Shame it wasn't permanent.

[next onyx]

He gives proper feedback but the same time the abuse he flings just. Get fucked.

[kindred flint]

like beyond the normal cuntish behavior?

[ruby citrus]

yeah, cuz being a bitch isnt really a bannable offense

[kindred flint]

there are plenty of other people giving proper feedback, his voice is not needed

[mental mountain]

anyone wanna play?

[next onyx]

If I had to guess.

[ruby citrus]

my opinion as well, behind the 20 minutes of complaining you see some genuinely decent criticism that I do agree with, but the thin veil of hatred around everything just makes it so fucking corny

[next onyx]

His toxic behaviour finally culminated into that suspension.

Dude sits on the super hind, alt f4's when it's destroyed by a stinger.

[ruby citrus]

like, the moment i personally took a break from the game was at peak rm68 meta

[next onyx]

Augh don't need reminders on that!

Nvm the sph spam.

[ruby citrus]

when i was genuinely honest to god getting beamed at 100m+ without any counterplay and with 0 skill

[next onyx]

That period I genuinely went anti meta with dozer and m16.

[ruby citrus]

thats when i sort of realized how bad 2042 maps are

too much open space, and everyone not dying being balanced by bigger recoil and damage falloff/bloom

[ancient peak]

Yeah after the third time he got shwacked by the pump shotgun on the new map he alt-f4'd

[ruby citrus]

the rm68 just had like 0 bloom, 0 horizontal recoil, and good dropoff, so it could murder people in half a second at 100m away

[next onyx]

How do you feel about the bloom now?

[haughty helm]

100k players at the same time? sheesh what did i miss?

[ruby citrus]

rm68 is fine now, the gun actually has some horizontal kick, and cant be full autod at that big of a range

[patent prism]

I've said this before but I think the major reason Redacted has been so well received (generally) is because, unlike other maps, Redacted is (obviously) infantry-only and, more importantly, is built for one specific playstyle and doesn't try to cram every playstyle into the map.

[sullen quarry]

Hello

[ancient peak]

Free weekend + map that is metrolike + solid update after a few months + few bugs

[ebon pilot]

when the tunnel

[haughty helm]

figures

[ancient peak]

Whatever the reason, I am happy to see it

[ruby citrus]

redacted is basically just operation metro with a fresh coat of paint, if you vibe with that you're gonna love it, i hate meatgrinders so i avoid it by any means necessary, its pretty af though i will admit

[sullen quarry]

Locker

[haughty helm]

free weekend might be over and now is back to 20k, wich is still good tho

[haughty helm]

same

[next onyx]

Demons in my head.

[ancient peak]

Considering it was battling with COD beta over the weekend I was honestly impressed

[ruby citrus]

is also operation metro with a fresh coat of paint

[next onyx]

The map plays pretty well all in all.

[sullen quarry]

I drink paint

[ancient peak]

I like it on conquest. Breakthrough eh............

[next onyx]

But maybe this is my first experiencing enjoying a meat grinder as a half decent player.

[patent prism]

I usually don't enjoy meatgrinders like Metro or Locker, but the Redacted map always seems to have an avenue of movement open. Whether your team uses those avenues is a different question.

[ruby citrus]

like, i get top 3 on the scoreboard in redacted every game

[haughty helm]

Halo Infinite is also reviving for what im seeing

[ruby citrus]

but i still am not having fun

[haughty helm]

its happening guys

[patent prism]

You don't get bogged down in a single location.

[haughty helm]

gaymers rise up

[midnight moon]

So why did they get rid of 128 player

[ancient peak]

Place down a jammer at a chokepoint and watch the points roll in

[ruby citrus]

it depends from game to game, sometimes it ends up being like a genuine 15 minute stalemate where its 2/2 on captured points

[ruby citrus]

place a tugs at a good chokepoint and basically guarantee a top 5 scoreboard lmao

[patent prism]

I've actually had very few attritional games on Redacted, most of the time there has been small (heroic) raiding parties from either team taking flags behind the main conflict line to keep the action going.

[ruby citrus]

similarly to spearhead, it happens, but the backcappers rarely actually succeed and get support, like spearhead i just see the usual middle of the map combat being 90% of the map

at least in the majority of cases

map becomes sorta fun if there is some turmoil and back-n-forths though

theres been a few cases where the backcap succeeds but then no one spawns on the newly capped point so the backcappers all get shot and then they lose the point

[sullen quarry]

URETHRA!!! ☝️ 💡

[patent prism]

Usually I try and communicate to my team whenever I will be going for a backcap so people can spawn there.

[dusk falcon]

my team: nooo youre supposed to help us push the enemy back and capture each objective 1 by 1

me: haha d1 push go brr

its actually kinda useful tho

since it forces them to oush back a bit

and maybe open a window for the rest of the guys

[ruby citrus]

backcapping is super rewarding if you have a squad with a brain the issue is that most people ignore squad leader commands and coordination entirely

[dusk falcon]

i jusst go alone

[patent prism]

Pretty much, yeah. I found a very useful spot for a spawn beacon at C1 so I usually place one there and then harass the back lines.

[ruby citrus]

backcapping alone is just begging to get 1v4d within 40s of them seeing it get capped

btw does the old trick work where points capture faster the closer you are to the flag

[dusk falcon]

i place a beacon and i pray my random teamamtes are smart enough to support me

[ruby citrus]

ik it was in V but not sure in 2042

[patent prism]

I had a fantastic match today with a very communicative squad that worked well and gathered towards a common goal. Had to quit after that match because I wanted to end on a good note lmao.

[dusk falcon]

i dont think so honestly

[patent prism]

Not as far as I have noticed.

[ruby citrus]

solo capping in V actl worked cuz of the flag trick

in 2042 it takes an eternity to solo cap a flag

i mean i get why they did it, but still

its annoying when literally the entire squad is unga bunga c-b area

[bright canopy]

People rn are being nicer in squads/chat than before the free week dropped

Feels weird after the constant antisemitic rants in BF1 all chat

[ruby citrus]

the what now

[bright canopy]

in EU

every 2nd game or so you had someone randomly go on an antisemitic or racist rant

wild west back in those days in BF1

[patent prism]

could be worse. could've been Wargame: Red Dragon's warchat.

[bright canopy]

Or people being mad because your platoon flag is a rainbow flag

So someone you kill goes on a rant about it

Wastes the entire game doing it

[ruby citrus]

i tried bf1 like a few months ago and i just couldnt with the gunplay, the ads-ing felt so fucking weird coming from 2042

like the aesthetics are top notch but the aiming just felt so damn weird

idk exactly why, is it the fat iron sights, the weird fov with adsing, something was just throwing me off

[kindred flint]

mag dumping through smoke with the k30....balanced gameplay

[frozen loom]

[kindred flint]

we only won by 630

just farmed them at d lmao...such a balanced game too

[dusk falcon]

i mean the fact germany is in the game probably is a factor

[frozen loom]

Throwing nades through smokes. Truly a 5head move.

[dusk falcon]

bonus points if its scatter nades

[kindred flint]

black screen again? lets goooo

[frozen loom]

That's why everyone should play Irish.

[patent prism]

I had a match on Exposure (I think) the other day where we lost by more than 1 000 tickets.

[gray comet]

I’ve had a few of those matches, always very good

[kindred flint]

thats not even trying

[dusk falcon]

i still remember this match i had in season 4 where we beat the enemy by 1 ticket

[ruby citrus]

i still have no idea how the irish turrets work post rework, its like theyre both never and forever on cooldown

[next onyx]

I heard xbox NA was pretty bad in itself as well.

Oop I left ping on.

[bright canopy]

i dont mind

attention

[frozen loom]

That's why I put 2 trophies down on opposite ends of the opening.

[next onyx]

Hahaha

[dusk falcon]

From the Dev Notes:

"Going forward, the Sentinel will now have a 5-second window from its first intercept to take down any additional projectiles it detects, such as Frag Grenades and Anti-Infantry Rockets from Specialists and Vehicles.

Once this initial intercept time has elapsed, the Sentinel will enter into a recharging state and will no longer be able to intercept any further projectiles for 7.5 seconds before being able to intercept projectiles once again."

[ruby citrus]

thank you

[bright canopy]

^ And if you put down two Sentinels next to each other, they're smart enough to take turns on the intercept and cooldown period

[dusk falcon]

woah so cool

[next onyx]

Hears ping.
Sees the red 1.
Dopamine activation.

[bright canopy]

so if one goes down the other starts intercepting

[ruby citrus]

huh okay so thats why i felt like i could never get any projectiles in

[bright canopy]

Basically

[next onyx]

It'd be nice if you were notified?

[ruby citrus]

even post rework

[next onyx]

Like a sound.

A ping sound.

[bright canopy]

Q spam

get those pings

PING PING PING

[patent prism]

A submarine sonar ping.

[ruby citrus]

did someone say ping, garand itensifies

[patent prism]

One ping only, please.

[pine roost]

All the pings

[next onyx]

Yeah. A more filtered ping sound to tell you your aps's are down.

[bright canopy]

have a friend who mashes Q constantly and pings random pieces of the terrain constantly

i want to chokeslam him

[next onyx]

I wouldn't revive him at all at that stage.

[bright canopy]

Stopped playing with him 3 days ago once I got my new PC

[ruby citrus]

deserved

[next onyx]

Bet there was more to it but honestly.

[patent prism]

This is a very good reason to not have friends. I only have acquaintances.

[next onyx]

I try to act dumb if all they do is spam ping and i can help it.

[bright canopy]

Dude would always play Rao or Irish with med pouches, so I had to slum as Falck for 400 hours of playtime

literally no one else

Asking him to stop did nothing

So i just gave up

[next onyx]

Play zain.

[bright canopy]

oh i do

[next onyx]

Blow people off buildings.

GOOD.

ANOTHER ZAIN ENJOYER.

[bright canopy]

where Zain skins

[drowsy shuttle]

Quoting nike: "just do it" ✔️

[bright canopy]

i got like 2.5 KPM on that fucker

[next onyx]

There's a leviathan rising skin in the files.

I'm sitting on a 3 kpm.

I should check up.

3.5!

He's that fun.

[remote kiln]

lmao no one cares about your stats kid

touch grass

[next onyx]

Quiet you sweat. xP

[bright canopy]

drama alert

[next onyx]

Hang on.

I'm older than you

You little shit.

[remote kiln]

[bright canopy]

KPM too low, banned from chat

[next onyx]

COME HERE.

Oh yeah that's right.

[patent prism]

Aight, I'm going to sleep. Enjoy your evenings/mornings/days/nights, fellow humans.

[bright canopy]

Problem is I need to find more friends to play with now

oh well will look into solving that

can't be worse than that one guy

[next onyx]

@remote kiln cause you like puns.

[remote kiln]

im surprised you manage to find a second player when you're upside down on earth

[next onyx]

Quiet British.

[ruby citrus]

how the hell do yall have the bp gun alr

did you buy the advance pack or smth

[next onyx]

Yeah I bought the beginning 20 tier skip.

[ruby citrus]

ah ok then it makes sense

[remote kiln]

the vhx?

[next onyx]

But I grinded the hell to get the laugo alien and the g428.

I got to tier 50 yesterday and fuck me.

[remote kiln]

yeah I did the tier skip aswell

[ruby citrus]

i just do the regular battle pass buying, mostly cuz i can earn it back each time

i just hope this time around it doesnt end up too grindy

with all the changes

paik is like my most used char and the lvl 100 skin looks really clean

[remote kiln]

lol I have 0 kills with paik

[next onyx]

I got her tier 1 cause completionist.

[ruby citrus]

shes like the easiest tier 1 ever

to be fair most recons are super easy to tier 1

[frozen loom]

The dumb rockets' scopes are too zoomed in.

Let us fire them without zooming in.

[ruby citrus]

angel seems to be my least played

followed by mackay

[kindred flint]

theres not a lot of reason to play angel anymore lol

[ruby citrus]

casper, irish, dozer, mackay, angel
my least played

[sullen quarry]

Hello

[ruby citrus]

casper has a collection of stunningly good skins but his kit is just so bleh and campy

[sullen quarry]

#other-games

[slim marlin]

is this TTV-iFocus BF iQ guy legit?

[ruby citrus]

wait when did they add all chat

i dont see it in my own game, do i have to enable it

[remote kiln]

yes, he is a ex professional player

[sullen quarry]

Since the beginning

[remote kiln]

since season 3, its in the settings

[slim marlin]

ok, in the future I am going to leave when I see him, cause this isn't fun

[ruby citrus]

huh, guess i never looked for it, thanks

[slim marlin]

team gets annhilated

[ruby citrus]

btw, did boris get buffed recently?

his turrets feel better somehow

[slim marlin]

wait professional battlefield? lol

[next onyx]

Yeah there's a comp scene.

Wait I misinterpreted.

[ruby citrus]

how does comp battlefield even work

[next onyx]

Ban list and 8v8.

[ruby citrus]

they tried incursions in BF1 and that was a massive failure

[slim marlin]

damn he must literally just be tryharding so hard to do that, you'd have to memorize every single spot on the map to do 80-6 every game

ofc he probably has a squad that just revs him every single time he dies so I guess its not actually that impressive now that I think about it

nvm

Like, at that amount of effort, most people are no longer having fun lol

some ppl are built different I guess

[ruby citrus]

honestly bf1 incursions were really unique and interesting

its a shame they never kicked off the ground

[slim marlin]

most ppl can't even go 40-20 while having fun

which I find hilarious

but ya know

[remote kiln]

? my guy he is one of the most elite players in the game

[slim marlin]

right, but I thoguht for a second he was solo, hes obv not

[ruby citrus]

just get skill gapped and move on, its fine

[slim marlin]

which is not that impressive anymore

[remote kiln]

does it matter?

[slim marlin]

yeah it does

I forgot revives exist

so I thought he was legit like godly or hacking

hes just really good

[remote kiln]

no, he is like godly lol

[ruby citrus]

racking in 80+ kills on infantry is still mighty impressive, usually only helos can do that

[slim marlin]

if I had a 3 man try hard team I could def do that

I'm just too antisocial to want to find other sweats to play with

not every game, but I've had plenty of 60+ solo

[remote kiln]

sorry my guy, you aint competing anywhere near this level

you definitely cant do that

dont act like it

[slim marlin]

not every game, no

[ruby citrus]

bottom 1% headshot KEK

[slim marlin]

I also don't put in the amount of effort required, and am not interested in it

I like how he uses 1 weapon

lol

[ruby citrus]

so many mp9 kills is impressive

given its sorta ass

[slim marlin]

true

I assume dmp vs spm is a lot differnet

cause spm 600 was like decent in bf3

1000 hours play time hahahaha

[ruby citrus]

60k nightbird kills

[slim marlin]

lol

[ruby citrus]

why am i not surprised

[slim marlin]

you shouldn't be

hopefully we get a game where its nerfed into the ground so we can laugh

idk, I feel dirty sometimes and I don't even try to really max max my game

I don't think I could nightbird on a moral level

[reef cedar]

0 gadget kills? like rockets or whatever right?

[remote kiln]

yeah 0

[slim marlin]

@remote kilnin the end he's worms like everyone else, I hope he enjoys his time. I am not an easily impressed person, because the best people always have the absolute best genetics, life history etc in literally anything

[remote kiln]

??

my guy stop being salty that hes better than you

[slim marlin]

no, hes on my team, and I left

[remote kiln]

you got beat in a firefight fair and square stop blaming it on other stuff

[slim marlin]

its not fun dude

[remote kiln]

lol

[slim marlin]

totally imbalances the match

[remote kiln]

thats even worse

[slim marlin]

I'm not playing to spawn camp or get spawn camped on redacted

[pine roost]

Focus is actually a pretty cool guy too. His streams are pretty chill compared to others, you can pick up a lot from simply watching him

[slim marlin]

oh I bet, I should do that sometime

learn all the op spots

[pine roost]

He’s definitely got a great understanding of map flow

[naive quiver]

Lmao 🤣 definitely a legit pro player

[reef cedar]

whats his main spec?

specialist

[pine roost]

Falck I believe

[reef cedar]

ahh

[pine roost]

That or mackay is what I see him use most

[reef cedar]

neato

[pine roost]

Oh he’s streaming now actually

Research time

[topaz field]

Anyone know what are consider as tactical weapons?

for the weekly mission?

[arctic grove]

I believe that means the shotguns, railgun and funny crossbow

[junior galleon]

aka the opposite of tactical

[arctic grove]

[merry heart]

Looks like I missed the drama

[topaz field]

ahhhh rightttt thanks lmao

[vocal tusk]

Utility was renamed to Tactical in 6.0

[frozen loom]

I spent the whole match on Kaledioscope trying to manage enemy vehicles. It was hard when everyone else ignores them.

[kindred flint]

lmao fucking getting flanked multiple times and losing a while we cant even push c wtf teams

leaving 2 matches early because of this dumb shit...forgetting about the mission to actually finish redacted matches

[vocal tusk]

Just ignore C and push D constantly if you spawn on A side.

[next onyx]

Farm.

[vocal tusk]

So youre one of those "Im losing so Im leaving this game" players.

[kindred flint]

3 games in a row i get US side

love seeing the enemy get on C consistently before we are close to b

[ivory canopy]

Yea the map is quite RU biased

I should unlock the VHX this week

broke my controller left analog stick trying to keep up with last friday in CLASH portal server. You were dogding my bullets so fast 😭

[merry heart]

The term is rage quitting.

[vocal tusk]

Im not even good at the game lol. I just constantly flank on that new map.

[merry heart]

Flank like a flank steak

[topaz field]

Was on valparaiso

[vocal tusk]

Oh lol. I do love that map, despite all its annoyingly bad collision issues

[pine roost]

The more I hear the word tactical the more I cringe

[topaz field]

ahah right half the time your exchaning fire no hit

[pine roost]

There’s just something about it that makes it sound so cringy after a while

Like ‘ai’

I dunno, it’s hard to explain

[vocal tusk]

Ill turn my bullet dodge hax off next time

[merry heart]

This actually is a thing in military engagements as a tactic.

[topaz field]

yeah ? you meaning the training

[quaint bronze]

pass so long to do zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[pine roost]

Oh no we bouta get an essay on fire and manoeuvre

[kindred flint]

alright 3x in a row same shit lmao...fucking losing a cant cap c, back cap a...push into c but nah just lose b instead

[merry heart]

Nope. Before the current Russian Ukraine war, during the annexation of the Crimea, Ukrainian soldiers in the trenches blind fire to the Russian trenches for reasons I forgot now. There's a video of it on YouTube.

[kindred flint]

was doing mildly good with a suppressed 880 though..but not worth sitting through that shit

[merry heart]

Speaking of suppressors, do any of you actually use them?

[vocal tusk]

Depends. I have one on most of the weapons I use...but I only swap to it if im flanking, or in an areas that has a lot of enemies and im in a semi-hidden place

[merry heart]

https://tenor.com/view/nod-kermit-nod-nodding-gif-24624072

[topaz field]

oh i see 🙂

[slim marlin]

anyone notice how when you change attachments on a weapon the game will spawn you with something else?

[vocal tusk]

What do you mean?

[azure zenith]

What up fam!

[fresh lintel]

The one thing I noticed since forever is my Specialist skins resetting.

But its mostly funny because its like a default dozer absolutely demolishing people

I usually use cold protector

[sullen quarry]

It keeps the slots, so if you move the current sight to a different slot it won't follow that sight

Idk if that makes sense or not

Let's say you currently have slot 1 with attachment A. Put attachment B on slot 1 and respawn and it will be attachment B, not A.

[topaz field]

it use to happen to me alot with mackay didnt really care much since im not big on skins

[fresh lintel]

Its a minor inconvenience at best 🤭

[ebon pilot]

i want to show off my inability to regulate my spending habits so it's a major inconvenience to me

[glacial cloak]

bro why are the skins so expensive

[merry heart]

@sullen quarry I see you're a Satania fan.

[glacial cloak]

i only get 2 for 25 CAD

[fresh lintel]

Because inflation and because companies hate us and because we eat that shit up

Oh yeah and Canada can get fuckedTM

Thats our life as Canadians.

[glacial cloak]

nah im not gonna buy any

[fresh lintel]

I do because i'm dumb :3

[glacial cloak]

I bought that Nikki Minaj skin from MW2

[merry heart]

I'm Canadian and I don't know what you're talking about.

[fresh lintel]

I'm a Canadian and we have to pay almost $10 more for shit

[merry heart]

That's capitalism for Canadians.

[glacial cloak]

Min wage in US is 7.50 in canada its 16.50

[frozen loom]

That's the price you pay for being polite.

[fresh lintel]

Yeaaaaah

[glacial cloak]

it makes sense

[merry heart]

About the same

[fresh lintel]

16.50 isnt enough to pay for rent here

I mean neither is 7 but still

[slim marlin]

to be fair, almost no one makes 7.5. Most food workers are making 14-15 an hour

[glacial cloak]

I see

[merry heart]

Is that total including the tips?

[slim marlin]

for me, no

[merry heart]

[slim marlin]

anyone else just play 3 matches of breakthrough stranded to unlock all attachments instead of getting wrecked in multiplayer because you have 20 rounds instead of 30?

[glacial cloak]

bruh, i still have to unlock all the damn guns 💀

theres so many

[slim marlin]

there were even more in bf4

[ebon pilot]

now i know why paik uses wall hacks
she blind

[slim marlin]

also to be fair, a lot of the weapons just aren't that good

[glacial cloak]

im procrastinating in here rn

[slim marlin]

most of the vault weapons are questionable

[fresh lintel]

ARs are all around solid or stupid meta.

SMGs kinda suck without the HSM but theyre still decent

[topaz field]

you can use rao throw smoke then scan through the smoke 🙂

[strong snow]

[ebon pilot]

oh I've known about that forever

[arctic grove]

I’ve always been inconsistent with 2042 SMGs unfortunately, besides og k30

[ebon pilot]

you're telling the certified Rao Expert™️

[arctic grove]

Which was absolutely goated

Pp29 and the starter one I never really liked

[fresh lintel]

PP and PeanutButter are my favourite SMGs

K30 and AC9 both grown on me but I prefer the range of the other two

[remote kiln]

[fresh lintel]

And the AKS is basically a carbine

[arctic grove]

I always got outgunned with peanut butter by M5s

[next onyx]

Smgs irritate me due to their hs multiplier.

[fresh lintel]

Too be fair, anyone who can aim with the M5 short barrel can dunpster anyone lmao

[next onyx]

May as well play with the vhs.

[fresh lintel]

Yeah

[arctic grove]

Yea SMGs are pretty niche when the plus menu exists tbh

[serene crystal]

Anyone made a 128/64 portal mode yet

[next onyx]

Plus menu doesn't really mean all too much to be honest.

[fresh lintel]

Its a nice convenience

[next onyx]

Yeah.

[ebon pilot]

very convenient and useful for adaptability

but it can't save you in all situations

[next onyx]

To change the muzzle and optic any time I like it for.

[fresh lintel]

I know some people dislike it because "It ruined attachments" but i feel like thats of other reasons.

[next onyx]

Unless the weapon demands it, changing your ammo type and grip is pretty redundant.

E.g g428.

[arctic grove]

Plus menu is definitely something I do want battlefield to keep as a mechanic going forward but I understand the complaints about it

They’ll probably just restrict it to grips, sights and other stuff that you’d more reasonably be able to carry and quickly get on than other stuff

[next onyx]

I'd like hard and soft attachments to be honest.

[ebon pilot]

I like switching between subsonic and standard rounds. People just don't know how to react when someone shoots them and they don't have a muzzle flash

but standard rounds are often extended

[next onyx]

To actually change the barrel, stock and that. You can't change that mid fight. But soft attachments like mags grip muzzles and sights.

[kindred flint]

you mean people pay attention to puzzle flash?

[next onyx]

Player visibility is shit which is why it's so effective.

[ebon pilot]

if the person is in the dark yes

[kindred flint]

oh im just so used to squadmates ignoring obvious red markers i just assume most are blind

[next onyx]

Lights were done as the be all end all solution when in reality it isn't as people who are prone appear as black blobs.

[fresh lintel]

Its also it makes the gun a little quieter so some people will struggle pinpointing its location

[next onyx]

Subsonic on the m417 helps quite a bit cause it's high power with worse velocity. So it's super useful to have if you're out.

[slim marlin]

what do you mean regarding g428

[fresh lintel]

Despite the game having LEDs attached to people, some people tend to be fucking blind.

Unless theyre prone.

I hate prone players.

[next onyx]

High calibre on the g428 you may as well run semi.

[ebon pilot]

#battlefield-2042 message

[next onyx]

With standard you run full auto.

Cause it has more recoil with full auto.

[slim marlin]

makes sense to swtich if you want to actually snipe

[next onyx]

I just run the micro t1 and call it a day.

There are no proper close ranged optics but thankfully I'm used to the sight.

[slim marlin]

you mean no actual x1 zoom? yeah its irritating tbh

[fresh lintel]

I like me acog

[slim marlin]

and most irons suck

its crazy there isn't x1 zoom optics (no zoom)

[next onyx]

1.25x is alright but a kobra would help in its stead.

[slim marlin]

aren't 1.25x sights not actually 1.25x because of the way it works in game?

I'm pretty sure functionally they are like 1.57x or something weird

[chilly dove]

I want to play Conquest 128, what happened to it?

[fresh lintel]

Thanos snapped

I'd imagine its just making room for Redacted. 128 Conquest should still be a thing

[ebon pilot]

It's not in rotation

it's just redacted conquest and conquest 64

[fresh lintel]

Oh thats dumb.

[ebon pilot]

until next week probably

[fresh lintel]

I only get 64 anyways because hehehaha last gen

[robust vapor]

@next onyx SA Hellion is disgusting indeed

[slim marlin]

jesus its going to take forever to unlock the incendiary for the vhx after they hella nerfed grenade launchers. it barely does anydamage and you get 1 a minute lol

[chilly dove]

I love how the developers still have difficulty simply making extra tiles to fit more play modes in. Would've solved all the problems with people unable to play core rotations on some weeks. Paid for 128, can't get it. "Just play Battlebit" f no.

[arctic grove]

Right

[slim marlin]

i guess its not really worth using now anyway, no point to grind for incendiary

[chilly dove]

There should be dedicated a tile for CQ128 all maps, a tile for CQ64 all maps, and then they can vary around with the other stuff and put those on rotation.

[arctic grove]

They should’ve rotated back around to 64p with the next game, and maybe this new seasons map, not randomly with this one after so many of us bought it for 128

[next onyx]

Were those clanboys stacking?

The Ezn or whatever they're called.

Good shots by the way.

[robust vapor]

4-man stacks

[slim marlin]

whats your dpi and sensitivity?

just curious

[robust vapor]

Professional players

[next onyx]

Yuck.

[chilly dove]

Battlefield games can definitely support 128 without issue. Even more in fact. The whole push for 64 is just from crybabies who are ready to blame anything they can for being terrible at the game.

[robust vapor]

800-1000 dpi

[chilly dove]

It's not even new to 2042, people were crying about 64 players on BF3

[robust vapor]

I forgot my in game sens in settings

[arctic grove]

I understand 128 complaints as far as performance and map design goes

[slim marlin]

they should just keep both 64 and 128 at all times, freakin idiots

[next onyx]

Nvm development time into 128p maps.

[arctic grove]

Not enough players on, this would break matchmaking

[slim marlin]

the issue is they designed the maps for 128, so for anyone who doesn't like 128 for whatever reason, gets to now play with worse maps than they did the last 5+ games or whatever

[robust vapor]

Also disable mouse acceleration

In game settings and windows settings

[willow sky]

d0k sh0w me am40 gameplay

[glacial cloak]

where are the 100k players playing this morning?

[willow sky]

dat g0n destr0ys

[next onyx]

The free to play period has ended.

[glacial cloak]

was it the chinese?

[arctic grove]

[robust vapor]

Nuuu my video is at my computer

[fresh lintel]

It was the Capellans.

[robust vapor]

Now d0k at work

[willow sky]

and u at w0k?

sad

[chilly dove]

There's just no issue. 128p means a few places get more crowded, that's it. Literal bs reasoning to think that any big map can't support 128

[robust vapor]

At W0rk indeed

[slim marlin]

my dpi is still 2k lol @robust vapor whats your soldier sensitivity

[robust vapor]

Slightly higher than default

[slim marlin]

128 also means for anyone who plays solo their ability to impact the game is significantly lower

[robust vapor]

By 5-10 increment from the gauge

[slim marlin]

mine says 15

[fresh lintel]

Too be fair the 128 maps having 64 players feels way too open/empty at times

But it means more shit heads ghost capping.

[slim marlin]

ofc, they were designed for 128

[robust vapor]

Mostly Asians

[slim marlin]

actually pretty sure they were first designed for BR but...

is 90 fov too small?

[fresh lintel]

90 FOV is perfect

[chilly dove]

I play solo 95% of the time. I can sneak cap, or just kick ass and put a huge kdr dent into the enemy team. And I don't even vehicle spam to get it done either because I like the challenge

[robust vapor]

Featured Portal Maps created by DICE itself in a weekly rotation will include them a lot

[chilly dove]

I just feed people SVK bullets

[arctic grove]

A BR with a slightly unique(?) trait: multiple maps

[slim marlin]

I played 128 the other day on breakaway, it was an awful experience

everyone was far away at all times, no cover, enemy team camped their base spawn, so fucking boring holyshit

[next onyx]

Playing 128p now its so damn slow.

[fresh lintel]

At least its not like Planetside where you can have 600 players in a small 2 story building. :3

[arctic grove]

Orbital and manifest have always been the most enjoyable with 128 impo

[chilly dove]

I played 128 yesterday on breakaway, it was a great experience, but I prefered the old map.

[slim marlin]

EA

Probably need to use longer range weapons playing 128, I'm not used to it

[robust vapor]

Manifest and Renewal are defence oriented for rush xl

[slim marlin]

tho I said fuck it I'd rather play redacted 24/7 instead

[robust vapor]

Like those 2 maps be hard to win as attackers

Include Stranded too

[next onyx]

Reclaimed as well.

[slim marlin]

breakthrough doesn't feel very good to me, whatever breakthrough was called in BFV felt way better to me for some reason

[robust vapor]

O noes Reclaimed

[chilly dove]

As a SVK lover, all the big maps are my best friend. But i can play on any map since DMRs are so versatile

[fresh lintel]

Yeah Redacted is fucked for attackers.

[robust vapor]

Iwo Jima still hardest map to breakthrough as attackers

[junior galleon]

rush is still superior to both ngl

[chilly dove]

but I have no aversion to any weapon class, I just think machine guns are generally boring and probably a bit too easy.

[slim marlin]

ah so many good times on BC1, BC2 and BF3...

[robust vapor]

The tunnels are bit annoying to navigate

[next onyx]

Reclaimed and redacted 24/7 for all out warfare I would kill for.

[robust vapor]

Literal worm hole haven

[next onyx]

Reclaimed is honestly pretty damn good.

[robust vapor]

You just need 2-3 MG42 worms

And they can hold their fort

[willow sky]

lets make it happen

[robust vapor]

[slim marlin]

anyone noticed how casper like ghosts into existence when you select him

[next onyx]

Oi Dok I have something for you.

[slim marlin]

even though hes enormous?

lowkey awesome detail

[robust vapor]

Show me, W0k

[slim marlin]

ah I liked how MGs felt useful in bfv

[chilly dove]

The weirdest thing about Rush/Breakthrough players is that they complain they don't like spam, yet the very nature of those modes is concentrated spam on the current objectives.

[slim marlin]

only other game I played where I felt that way was MW3 lol

[fresh lintel]

I'm not a fan of the LMGs in this game, but theyre actually fun to use at times.

[robust vapor]

One correct position and you can shred enemies with chauchat and lewis

[next onyx]

The way she fucking flies lol.

[junior galleon]

i dont know any rush/breakthrough players who dont like spam ngl

[slim marlin]

hey you wasted your claymore!

[next onyx]

I'd use LMG's more but I honestly would rather just SCAR.

[slim marlin]

i was an MG3 fan

[chilly dove]

"Everybody go here" gameplay is just such a silly meatgrinder design. Might as well play in a 4 x 4 room instead

[next onyx]

Hey claymore go boom.

[slim marlin]

but I didn't play late game so maybe it was nerfed

[fresh lintel]

The issue with LMGs is my playstyle. The Sprint to ADS fucks me up.

[willow sky]

I literally forgot claymores exist. Holy hell on this map.

[junior galleon]

i would play in a 4 x 4 room if it was fun

[next onyx]

I was good with LMG's back on bf5.

They were good fun.

[robust vapor]

Tfw discord not playing vids for me

[slim marlin]

hmm maybe I should be using hold to sprint

[next onyx]

This game I just go AR cause my favourite battle rifle is in the game.

[fresh lintel]

I'd rather planetside LMGs

[slim marlin]

weren't the old games hold to sprint?

[next onyx]

No.

[robust vapor]

Lmao poor bastard

[slim marlin]

huh

[robust vapor]

[next onyx]

I feel like it's a video you would add a sound effect on.

[slim marlin]

I feel like theoretically its better because you can cancel easier? no?

[next onyx]

It's kinda muscle memory dependant.

[robust vapor]

Not anytime soon

[next onyx]

I use press to sprint since it's easier on me.

[slim marlin]

letting off seems the easiest way in terms of memory

like theoretically

I do have click to sprint on, though

[robust vapor]

I just use my ring finger to hold sprint

[willow sky]

bec0me a youtuber d0k
make funny compilations 😳

[robust vapor]

[slim marlin]

when I played on xbox I clawed

[robust vapor]

[slim marlin]

was an enormous advantage over other players

no one else could turn while going prone

[versed ridge]

no way they fixed the black screen issue, omg dice actually doing something

thats crazy

[robust vapor]

Gotta know where I develop my veins on my hands from

[slim marlin]

wait what??????????????

[chilly dove]

If you don't know anyone who complains about Rush being nothing but a spam fest, go over to the search button for this discord and type : rush spam

[slim marlin]

lowkey going to get arthritis for it 😂

[fresh lintel]

I dont know what my grip is for controllers

[slim marlin]

(seriously, its bad for you)

[robust vapor]

Crabbing on a controller

[fresh lintel]

Its fucking weird

[willow sky]

did someone say XP farming?

[dense steeple]

bro what the fk is wrong with players nowdays. i just had a match where the entire lobby was targeting me who was in the AA tank

like everyone and t heir grandma was coming after me

[versed ridge]

i hate they removed 128 conquest

[slim marlin]

must have made a littlebird squad angry

[dense steeple]

they even took my AA after a fuckin tank chased me for half the map

bro fuck little bird squad

[robust vapor]

Anti bird squad

[slim marlin]

they should stop being dumb and keep fucking both holyshit EA/DICE whoever is in charge of this nonsense

[fresh lintel]

Thats me when I keep the air clean of the stupid birds

[willow sky]

little bird squad 💪

[dense steeple]

i was in a jet half the game and the dumb ass bird was trying to kill me IN A JET

[fresh lintel]

Its called; You're too good and you pissed them off. Badly.

[slim marlin]

They only want one mode at a time due to player count, yet, they are losing players long term because of it

[versed ridge]

garbage game

[dense steeple]

I WAS LAST ON THE LEADERBOARD WHAT YOU MEAN LMAO

[chilly dove]

I mean achievement heads and people who don't care about interesting gameplay and only want XP would love it I guess. The same people who cheer when a multiplayer game lets you farm bots to UnLoCk NeW gUn!

[dense steeple]

also wtf happened to conquest 128 players

[robust vapor]

Dedicated AA squads are terrifying tbh

[next onyx]

Got swapped out for 64 at the moment.

[dense steeple]

sigh

[fresh lintel]

DID YOU KEEP THE SHITTERS FROM THE SKY?

[slim marlin]

conquest 128 players seem worse than 64

but I have very low data set so

[dense steeple]

bro

[slim marlin]

but it sure seemed they were way less perceptive

[dense steeple]

what is the most effective setup on AA tank?

[next onyx]

Honestly when it comes to 64P Cq they should just... Run maps that were primarily built for 64p on it.

[slim marlin]

it did make it interesting

[fresh lintel]

I use the long range AA ones, 35mm i think? And AA missiles.

[slim marlin]

who knows, probably AT and 30mm? idk

[next onyx]

The 30MM's are great for a range and the 35MM's ruin people close up.

[dense steeple]

i use 35mm dual AA cannons and AA missiles

oh

[fresh lintel]

The AA Cannons can be effective against infantry. But the higher RoF one is better for that.

[slim marlin]

If you are just doing AA, I'd personally use 30mm and AA

[robust vapor]

35MM and AA for just Anti Air

[slim marlin]

IMO 30mm is better for aircraft

[next onyx]

It really depends on your needs.

[pine roost]

30s and AT here

[dense steeple]

next time im gonna start using AT rockets. because i cant believe i had an enemy tank doing circles with me for half the game

[slim marlin]

35 isn't bad tho

[slim marlin]

yeah, honestly very situational

[dense steeple]

at one point i drove around a glacier with the tank following me. doing loops

[robust vapor]

I run 35 and AT for both air and ground

[fresh lintel]

Personally you don't need AT if someone has SOFLAM/Darts

[next onyx]

Oh yeah that reminds me.

[slim marlin]

unlike a lot of the other options. I wish HP versus standard wasn't so clear cut, most guns its like, one is clearly better

[next onyx]

A guy was firing tracer darts during redacted and I thought it was an SPH.

[slim marlin]

like sfar HP extended is easily the best

[next onyx]

But I wondered.

[chilly dove]

CQ 128 players, especially the infantry ones, from my experience are the most intelligent of the bunch. Highly aware, generally try to work together to do objectives all over the place. Make strong efforts to deny entrenched sites, with or without help from vehicle farmers

[dense steeple]

i guess ill try 30mm AA and AT missiles for the best of both worlds

[next onyx]

"Why isn't it blinking?"

"Why isn't it flashing?"

[robust vapor]

You can 1v1 as a heavy tanker with the correct set up

[slim marlin]

didn't those get nerfed into the ground?

[fresh lintel]

Imagine darting someone and having a M5 lock onto them

[next onyx]

The darts? Kind of.

[robust vapor]

MPAT + MG of choice + TOW + Quad Rocket Pods+ APS

Thank me later

[slim marlin]

ah to play with squad mates

can trophy still be put onto vehicles?

[dense steeple]

MPAT?

[pine roost]

I don’t think it ever could

[robust vapor]

Multi Purpose Anti Tank

[pine roost]

Has to be on the ground

[next onyx]

Multi platform.

[chilly dove]

Pretty sure the game just had it's like best playercount ever this past weekend, and now they remove 128... if shooting ones self in the foot was a sport...

[slim marlin]

It did seem more objective oriented, which is great

[dense steeple]

oh

[next onyx]

Or that.

[slim marlin]

but in terms of 1v1 engagements, they were easier to kill, but again, I only played a few games, so I'm probably wrong

[robust vapor]

If you wanna farm infantry just use HMG

Your secondary weapon on the driver seat

[next onyx]

Redacted and reclaimed being more focused certainly helps them from not feeling like a fucking slog.

[dense steeple]

back to conquest i go. if i get targeted by the entire lobby again ill just log off lol

[stiff pollen]

just abuse shotgun if lobby isnt going your way

[fresh lintel]

If you do, make it their problem.

[slim marlin]

I can see a tank could be pretty good if you have a squad

[next onyx]

12m.

Or 880.

[fresh lintel]

But also what Hijinks said

[robust vapor]

If only your squad is reliable

[fresh lintel]

Just use a 12m with drum mags out of spite.

[robust vapor]

[next onyx]

My friends and I abused tanks, I was hacking them and they actually could not fight back. Rao is broken.

[slim marlin]

im too scared to socialize so no squad

[robust vapor]

But a full tank with reliable squad would shred another tank easily if everyone is focused

[slim marlin]

or the game would be so much more fun...ugh

[robust vapor]

On one vehicle target

[fresh lintel]

This is why I use tank mines and stay far away enough from fights.

[robust vapor]

Consider they got the same accuracy or better than yours

[next onyx]

Nah alt you charge at tanks with mines.

Who cares.

[slim marlin]

who said they don't like prone players?

[next onyx]

Explosive cake tin go boom.

[fresh lintel]

I mean I do that when i'm losing a fighg

[chilly dove]

There's probably a concept to argue that people who spam closer range engagement modes have closer range engagement setups. Picking stuff like shotguns more, or the strongest possible setup and then they go test it out (doesn't this get boring super fast? what am I saying... i forget about the intelligence level of the average FPS player)

[fresh lintel]

:3

[azure zenith]

Just get the new AR with subsonic and heavy suppressor. Literally invisible on the mini map. But GL. 💯💪

[robust vapor]

I like the explosive toilet plunger from BFV

[dense steeple]

i was planning on going AA the entire game

[slim marlin]

I had a thing yesterday...my squad got killed, I went prone in a crater, and I proceeded to run out of ammo killing ppl, had to switch to the G37, which again I ran out of ammo with killing ppl, and wow, it was OP, no one knew I was there 😂

[dense steeple]

on a side note. is NTW-50 even good at long ranges?

[next onyx]

Erm.

100M.

[pine roost]

I imagine that’s why you were getting hunted last time

[azure zenith]

Ah I missed that part of the convo. Nvm. Ignore me. Lol 🤣

[slim marlin]

I killed like 15 ppl cause no one could see me

[next onyx]

It's not a ranged rifle.

[dense steeple]

i guess

[dense steeple]

oh fair enough. even tho it has a 12x scope

[chilly dove]

There are times where you can be pretty stealthy, or just not where people would think to look because of good cover or a tricky spot

[next onyx]

Yeah.

[slim marlin]

NTW has 1 HK to 100m, outside that idk seems not that useful

[next onyx]

Same logic with a 6x on an assault rifle.

[chilly dove]

but that's not an issue with the game or with an entire playerbase of a gametype

[robust vapor]

If you can determine bullet velocity bullet drop and drag correctly then NTW is satisfying

[slim marlin]

is it actually not shit with the heavy supressor?

[fresh lintel]

But at the same time, you might as well just use a silencer on a SWS lmao

[next onyx]

Laugo is pretty nice.

I just use wrapped and work off that on the VHS.

I'm not looking for perfect stealth but something to at least dampen my shots.

[fresh lintel]

Wrapped is genuinely good for that. No range decrease but you do lose velocity

[next onyx]

Yeah.

[remote kiln]

subsonic + heavy removes you from the minimap entirely, so its ok with that, anything else its garbage

[azure zenith]

Nope! Still drop 70 kills a game with it.

[next onyx]

You need to know how the weapon works.

[final lintel]

As long as it’s not over 100m it’s basically hit scan, which is my preferred range for snipers

[next onyx]

As you apply suppressors.

[robust vapor]

Use low magnified optics

It works well with NTW

[next onyx]

It just feels weird to use a suppressor that doesn't reduce damage.

Like oh its still cutting through people.

[azure zenith]

If I could post screenshot I would show you I got most kills with it a couple times. But damn permissions. Lol😆 😂

[slim marlin]

hmm VHX does have high velocity, so heavy suppressor wouldn't hurt it as much as some guns...

[dense steeple]

welp i got like a 425m kill with it just now LMAO

[next onyx]

Just use wrapped, Sqep.

Keeps things simple.

[slim marlin]

I'll mix it up, probably wrapped standard extended will be the go to

[chilly dove]

Did we ever have longer range scopes on ARs in 2042 beyond 6x? I run 6x on my AC-42, turning it into a fun little test DMR/battlerifle thing with the best longest range/accuracy and highest damage bullet setup, and it definitely worked extremely well

[azure zenith]

Does the same as the 6ku

It's not too shabby

[final lintel]

How you think I got it tier 1d, aped around the map with iron sights not getting a kill farther than 80m

[next onyx]

6ku reduces damage by 2, The heavies reduce it by 3 to 4 points.

[slim marlin]

I never use SKU because it wrecks your ttk

(usually)

[robust vapor]

3x scope

[next onyx]

Heavies hurt a lot.

[robust vapor]

Good shit

Iron sight too

[next onyx]

I wish I wish the VHS got a kobra.

[final lintel]

I never run any aight on any run above a 2x. We stay close

[fresh lintel]

VHS is the new AR yeah?

[chilly dove]

You can definitely build guns to be DMR/sniper like that aren't in those categories. It plays to the strengths of this games great weapon customizability ✅

[next onyx]

Infact I wish the kobra was distributed more.

[slim marlin]

I just want the FAMAS or AN94 so bad

[next onyx]

Yeah.

The VHS - 2.

It's known as the VHX-D3 in this.

[fresh lintel]

Got it. I cant wait to have if

I love bullpups

[next onyx]

They've grown on me.

[slim marlin]

decent reload for bullpup, doesn't feel excessively slow at least

[next onyx]

I was talking to Alex about it and he said his bullpup propaganda is finally working.

[slim marlin]

that 4hk at close range is powerful, at range the recoil is decent

[next onyx]

The bastard.

[chilly dove]

Bullpups are the best. Based AUG users

[slim marlin]

it might compete with the M5 imo

[chilly dove]

game needs AUGs, DICE quick

[pine roost]

He’s planted it in their minds

[slim marlin]

AUG A3 😩

[next onyx]

m5a3 has a more balanced 5hk but it works out till further ranges.

But honestly.

I'd rather run the m16.

It's many many times more reliable.

[pine roost]

M416 or m16?

[slim marlin]

m16 is better

[next onyx]

m16

If the m416 got a velocity adjustment it'd be worth using.

[pine roost]

Oh, I’ve been using the wrong one this whole time then :/

[slim marlin]

M16 has incredibly consistent damage at range

[next onyx]

Wot

[fresh lintel]

Ive started using the M416 and its become my favourite over the M16

[slim marlin]

its a sexy gun, I used it in BC1 just because it was so beautiful lol

[next onyx]

I would like to hit 25K kills with the m16 by the end.

[fresh lintel]

Easily one of my top ARs now

[chilly dove]

AUG HBAR-T machine gun plz, i'd start playing that weapon class just for that

[pine roost]

After you suggested it I thought I’d try it, I’ve been using the m416 as I thought that’s what you said

[next onyx]

I should be able to get 10K for the VHS soon if I seriously dedicate to it.

But I'm too tired.

[fresh lintel]

I'd use a XM8 AR but they dont have those in AOW.

[arctic grove]

I’m super picky with gun aesthetics so I’ve honestly never cared for the m416 lol

[slim marlin]

m416 isn't like, bad

[slim marlin]

I know man, I feel you

[arctic grove]

the stock and handguard is just…

[next onyx]

XM8 MG does the job for me.

[pine roost]

It’s been pretty good for me so far, but Ill go and compare it to the actual m16 tomorrow

[next onyx]

But I wish it got a GL.

[pine roost]

Actually got the day of tomorrow, it’s gaming time

[next onyx]

Oh that's awesome.

[fresh lintel]

The XM8 MG is basically a Heavy AR, i like it

[next onyx]

I used it religiously at the start.

And got it to tier 1 pretty quickly.

But now I can't be bothered.

[fresh lintel]

I'm going down the list of LMGs to T1.

Avancys is almost done but ive been using the PKP. The PKP fucking huuuuurts.

[chilly dove]

Game needs F2000 and its scope guard. And the Five-seveN too

[next onyx]

PKP just isn't it.

[azure zenith]

Honestly, kinda but not really. I go by shots per kill. If it's a 4 body shot with a wrapped suppressor but 5 with the 6ku. Then yes it's not worth it. But if body shot Damage is 28 with the wrapped suppressor and 25 with the 6ku then it doesn't effect ttk. Not on all the guns but almost half of them. Like the M5A3 and GEW. TTK is the same.

[fresh lintel]

Its surprisingly doing wonders versus LCMG

[chilly dove]

It just comes down to good aim in the end really, for all weapons ha

[pine roost]

The 5-7 is one of the only guns I can say I’d like simply because it looks good

[fresh lintel]

I mean fair. Its just how easy some guns are to use and effective they are at ranges

Which the PKP kicks like a mule.

[chilly dove]

It also has an interesting round, but i don't know how dice would handle the balance of that

[pine roost]

Like any other pistol

[chilly dove]

SMG damage on a handgun. Does the P90 get special stats?

[pine roost]

Wont be any different

Will probably get the same ttk as the others for consistency

[chilly dove]

and that gun that uses the P90's magazine

[hushed cedar]

Is it possible to lvl up battlepass on portal servers or co-op?

[pine roost]

I know challenges work, since I hopped into noname’s and got some levels accidentally while testing some guns

But there is some kind of limit

[hushed cedar]

Hmmmm

I know for guns the limit is t3 but the other stuff idk

[chilly dove]

Wait do people really have have issues controlling recoil in this game? PC has mouse, and i've seen the recoil control boost controllers get, ontop of autoaim lmao... like come on people, spend a bit of time on a server testing aim, recoil control techniques, pay attention and have good hand eye coordination

[hushed cedar]

Recoil control on this game is so easy

[reef cedar]

pc is not console

[pine roost]

Over the last few years there have been some pretty bugs relating to recoil, so most of it is justified because the system was just against you

[reef cedar]

like at all

[dense steeple]

welp i got the AA tank again. wish me luck i dont get bodied by the entire lobby again

[fresh lintel]

Cause arson and warcrimes

[chilly dove]

I said controller. I know controllers get a recoil control benefit. I don't know if it's different across platforms.

[pine roost]

But they’ve fixed one of the most notorious bugs in the latest patch so overall it’s far more consistent, that being said though recoil in this game is non existent

Worst you’ll get is a bit of horizontal that throws you off slightly

[chilly dove]

I never said PC is console so I don't understand why I was told that

but again, people can and do use controllers on PC. I'm all about mouse on PC but yeah

[pine roost]

Me neither I won’t lie

[slim marlin]

wait, does this game have headglitching? lol

[pine roost]

Well yeah

[slim marlin]

did they seriously not bring that fix from the other games over

[pine roost]

I’ve got clips of me controlling it perfectly fine from 150+ m out, it’s really not that bad, shouldnt take too long for people to get down

[chilly dove]

Headglitching as in bullets originating from the camera/centre viewpoint instead of from the gun, and replicating impossible cover-peak shots?

[pine roost]

Yes

[chilly dove]

Exactly this. I've not struggled with any weapons recoil control in this game. I'd challenge people to pick a notoriously bad gun for recoil/spread and worst setup and I'd be able to make it ridiculously accurate with usage technique

i guess that's where the split on SVK users comes in haha.

"It's amazing" "I can't hit anything"

[pine roost]

This was a while ago, but I can’t post any new ones since I lost perms, but this was with the recoil bugs present too

[wet delta]

Wish there was an option in portal to change the time of day on maps like turn a day map into a night map

[dense steeple]

lets just say im a whole menace of the lobby now LMAO

[chilly dove]

preach

[pine roost]

I honestly don’t get the appeal of night maps, but that’s just me

[chilly dove]

night maps are cool, you get to use shadows, darkness and stealth techniques to your advantage. make better use of night vision / thermal concepts.

It's a bit of a different style. If people approach it from the being on a receiving end of all of that, just stay calm and give props to people for doing it well.

Alot of ire boils down to "I'm mad I got shot / died" in shooters. Kind of silly

[reef cedar]

ive spent at the very least 3000 hours playing games on controller and in every game i always gravitate towards the weapon that has little or no recoil because it, in all cases, makes me able to play against or with players and have any amount of fun

[chilly dove]

Ok

[reef cedar]

ty

[chilly dove]

The validity of getting mad about the gunfight loss is a touchy subject I guess. Balance issues vs skill issues.

[junior galleon]

nobody really likes low visibility tho

[wet delta]

Not only that see rounds flying and explosion at night. It would also make sense since wars don't usually stop at night and continue during the day lol

[chilly dove]

Guess that makes me a nobody. Also, props to smoke users for and people who use other forms of temporary visual obstruction to get things done in this game

[reef cedar]

fucken love smoke
