Here's to hoping the SK operation gives us an actual street level urban environment to operate in, in contrast with the letdowns I got with Japan and HK.
Cameron Morris
I live in Japan and travel to SK frequently user SK is just a dirtier version of Japan Ubisoft would never make an urban map
Nathaniel Young
>SK is just a dirtier version of Japan Still better than never getting a proper urban map at all. And why do you think not? Lack of creativity or just laziness?
Austin Perry
Uproar
Nolan Jones
what's that, a new operator?
Josiah Perez
>Hey guys Ubi here can we show how much of a shitty country you guys are? Don't worry it's realism
Jack Ramirez
I'm newfag, is using red dot bad? I see that everyone is using acog, but spraying is so hard with it and sensitivity feels weird. Also I'm using compensator on all my automatic weapons, but usually I get killed before I start unleashing the spray, is muzzle/silencer more useful? I know it lowers the damage so doesn't it fuck up shots to kill in chest on some weapons?
Carson Long
>assuming they'd make the map accurately "dirty" >or that anyone would give a fuck if they did a bit of a stretch if you ask me Still just want an urban map mate. They don't have to give it a realistic grit, in fact I'd prefer if it's clean, even if it's "unrealistic" for a South Korean city. They're not China, it could be fucking Mirror's Edge levels of spotless for all I care.
Parker Wilson
Is the Vegas map cancelled
Jack White
>implying SK has anything to say on the matter get fucked chinks
Bentley Ward
>but spraying is so hard with it and sensitivity feels weird. Don't just constantly spray before you manage to learn proper recoil control, try adjusting your ADS sens, and know that the compensator isn't optimal for most guns. Flash hider should be your go-to aside from on a select handful of ARs, for which you'll be wanting a muzzle brake. Experiment though, see what suits you. There's no single optimal option for all guns, but as some advice, the red dot is general seen as the worst 1x sight just due to how thick the dot is compared to the holo, and how bulky and centralized the frame is compared to the reflex.
Daniel Evans
Have they got rid of Kix for the pro league commentary or something?
Logan Morales
my ADS is at 100 because I don't want to fuck up my muscle memory by lowering it
Dominic James
nah mate, they have four different casters now. I've only seen/heard three of them, including Kix, Interro (cool dude) and Bloodbath, but that's what I've heard to be true.
Chase Sullivan
is the stupid recoil pattern shit getting added
Robert Robinson
the 2 guys who have been doing the past few games are so much nicer to listen to than kix
Owen Gutierrez
Don't do that. Lower it to 50 or so and fuck around with it from there. Keeping it at 100 just makes you feel like your sens is higher when you're aiming, because your screen zooms in when you aim; it's not going to feel 1:1 regardless.
Lincoln Taylor
They're doing matches on 6 nights this week, Kix and Bloodbath were split to cover three separate nights each and are paired with different casters.
Landon Lewis
get used to the weirdness of the acog if you want to succeed. its got very obvious advantages by being able to zoom in on the target more.
Nathan Cooper
shouldn't it be at 75 because ACOG is a 2.5x scope?
Logan Morgan
I don't like Bloodbath. He seems like a bit of a dumbass at times, and he gets too hype in the wrong moments and drowns out the more decent casting from either Kix or Interro. Kix+Interro is my favorite combo so far, since they both seem more relaxed around each other and bounce their analysis back and forth in more interesting ways, without killing their enthusiasm when the plays gets heated. Also Interro just inherently seems to make Kix more bearable as a caster, since they tend to have more of a dialogue in the slower moments of matches than you have with Bloodbath just sitting silent while Kix monologues about the strats going on.
Josiah Baker
That math isn't going to check out, because there's an inherent ads zoom that the Acog stacks on top of. And besides, I swap between 1x and acog from operator to operator with no problem on 50 or so ads sens. I don't think it matters as much as you think if the the ratios line up and shit.
Asher Phillips
Someone called me gay in a game earlier. I'm very upset. Should I report him to the police?
Nathaniel Rogers
Interro's addition has been great. The matches have been so much better to watch compared to before regardless of whether he's with Kix or Blood. He seems to know how to balance out the other caster.
Noah Torres
report him to ubi he should get a week ban for hurting your feelings
Ryder Lewis
Thankyou user. I really need support as I think I might have PTSD.
Benjamin Gomez
>tfw there are people in the world who are actually like this
Joseph Martin
By that line of thinking, at what point does getting offended by getting called "gay" become an equally offensive act? >"You should take it as a compliment user, he just meant you have much better fashion sense than most cis scum. Can't believe you'd get upset by that, baka"
Brandon Ortiz
What's with the rather dramatic increase in Echo pick rate in Pro league so far?
Landon Scott
Yeah really, he just seems like a mellow guy without being too quiet, it's a good balance.
Now one of only three acogs on defense, and a much more useful ability than the other two for Bomb. Not to mention the huge barbed wire nerf means any means to slow down the attacker's approach and gain exrta intel in the process is always welcome. Also I don't know if this is true but it really feels like they buffed the Yokai stun effect. That shit makes you practically blind now, and I don't remember it being that bad in the past.
Lucas Peterson
they stopped looking for the echo drone with all the other traps
Nathan Harris
His drone isn't permanently disabled from Thatcher's EMP making it harder to take out than just nuking site with them. As mentioned already the barbed wire nerf and ACOG make him more desirable, also machine pistol and shotgun combo for the interior decoration make him have an all around good kit. His gadget gets out-shined by others but for stopping last second pushes (which happen often in Pro-league) it is king.
Cooper Murphy
>His drone isn't permanently disabled from Thatcher's EMP the amount of people that don't know this honestly baffles me. The amount of times I've had Echos on my team just get off their drone for the rest of the round after it gets EMP'd, just to leave it on the ground to die just isn't right. And yeah you're definitely right, the Supernova getting that damage buff definitely helps him shine more as a site-builder. That alone helps him in terms of utility, but the rest of his kit being as flexible as it is outside of his 3 armor getup has always been strong, it's just more favored than it used to be with all of the changes we've been seeing.
Eli Nguyen
Interestingly, it doesn't appear to be the Supernova buff. Most every Echo I'm seeing in the Pro league broadcasts are going MP5 + Bearing9.
Leo Collins
You're not wrong, but I've seen a good bunch of rounds where there was a Smoke, Ela, and Echo all going at it with their shotguns. Might've just been with a specific couple of teams though, I honestly can't remember.
Zachary Rogers
>Ela Meant Mira, shit I'm fuckin tired.
Andrew Evans
Seriously, I thought originally he needed to be a 2 speed back in Red Crow but by the time Velvet shell came out I realized the 3 armor pretty much balances him. Recent ACOG nerf aside, if he was 2 speed back then his pick rate would be so much higher since he can just stun, run and gun the attacker team with ease whilst having every tool needed to make it easier.
Admittedly I'm exaggerating but you get the point, he is just a solid pick when people know how to use Yokai.
Thomas Edwards
His usefulness isn't just in his own hands though. How coordinated a team can be with their roamers and a good Echo makes a huge difference in how effective he is, which is half of the reason he sees so much more play in PL than he does in your average ranked match. Not only that, but since if he wants to use his drone he's potentially a sitting duck if he gets approached, having that extra coordination to have his teammates let him know when he's about to get jumped can keep him alive and useful for much longer.
Joshua Wilson
>Here's to hoping the SK operation gives us an actual street level urban environment to operate in, in contrast with the letdowns I got with Japan and HK.
What is that clean shit? Half of South Korea looks just 50% better than the favela map.
Camden Garcia
It's Seoul, which doesn't happen to be half of South Korea. Unless you'd prefer for the SK map to be "Favela mk. 2: slightly cleaner boogaloo" for the sake of 'realism' or some shit.
Thomas Jenkins
It's pretty fun roaming when you have a competent Echo running around with you on Yokai stunning every attacker you are about to fight. Might not be the most optimal but in gold ranks and casual at least will definitely burn time.
Joseph Walker
Hey it's that drawfag from a few weeks ago. I finished off that bandit chibi and am currently working on a small one panel starring Jäger and Tachanka. (Apologies for the file size, uploading from moblie)
how the fuck do you counter bad timing? how am i supposed to live through someone who just happens to walk by as i get grzmotted or I drone a place out and he just happens to walk in after?
>buy a vertical grip for a weapon >the character doesn't even use it.
Nolan Roberts
Do you mean you didn't equip it, or that there's a messed up animation?
Carter Wilson
I assume animation, a lot of the time when you epuip a vertical grip in this game, your character holds the gun like it's an angled grip.
Ethan Hill
>tfw bought a shitload of skins for Hibana despite being Fuze/Tachanka main.
Christopher Watson
the character doesn't hold it from the grip, he's just holding it like before.
IIRC many games has this issue for some reason.
Parker Gonzalez
cuuute!
Matthew Rogers
Has the Theme Park easter egg been discovered yet?
Henry Stewart
Clipping seems to be back.
Nathan King
hnngh has Vek drawn anything with Ela and Ying yet
Jaxson Nelson
The Bear Jew?
Nolan Morales
did they do some battlefield style super elaborate easter egg? is it the fortune teller thing?
Ryder King
what's with all the sound bugs lately?
>some of the ambient turning off randomly >sounds from the actual game move on to win cam
Grayson Reyes
all a joke boys. Leakbro aint leak bro, where are you, real leakbruh?
Brayden Baker
There's usually a small thing, like the interactive soccer balls on Favella, or being able to play the drum on Skyscraper. So far, I don't think they've found anything like that on Theme Park.
Nathaniel Carter
>trusting ubi yeah right, implying they would give that info away and just say "yeah its real"
Camden Gutierrez
I would much sooner believe an anonymous leaker than the company's very own community manager for such matters
Alexander Howard
So, I hit level 96 and finally managed to scrape together enough renown to buy Frost.
The problem is - I'm fucking awful with her. I think I've only trapped someone twice in about 6 games.
How do I use her traps? Both times I got kills were through planting them beneath window frames. Other than that I usually try hiding them behind shields or in barbed wire, occasionally planting them next to the barbed wire in the hopes that when they strafe they'll walk into one.
Also is her shotty any good still like in her glory days or should I just stick with the red dot extended barrel c1
Hudson Barnes
What the fuck? This thread has been
Jason Williams
Try putting them to the left or right of door frames, as attackers will often strafe to the side when entering a room and expecting an engagement.
Dominic Johnson

Jonathan Stewart

ded gaem pls buy siege 2

Thanks lad, I'll give it a shot.
Clapistanis are all still in bed, chum, so all you have here are EU neets or students
Ryan White
Cool soon we can call them liars.
Alexander Thompson
>calling that a leakbro reddit leaf
Luis Diaz
That dude was in the thread yesterday apologizing because he didn't want people to think he was leakbro, he was just summing up everything he'd heard and people assumed it was leak bro.
Carson Howard
>dev denies something >the pretty much confirms it it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation, cause even if they didn't say anything people would be like "They're ignoring it, so it must be true!"
Samuel Morgan
Ever hear of "trial balloons"? They put out a bunch of ideas as an anonymous leak, and change their plans if anything has a really negative reaction, without ever having to admit they even considered it. Ubisoft has said before they don't think any other game modes (besides Secure, Bomb, and Hostage) would work, but some players are still bugging them for more game modes, so this is them asking players "What do you think about CTF?" and remaining free of any backlash.
Julian Evans
put them wherever shitters will walk on them regardless of where you put them, pros will almost always shoot them from the other side of the map and know exactly where you put them, so placement makes very little difference If you have a barrier, put it behind it, if you have to put one near a window, don't put it aligned to the window, move it a bit so there's the chance that if they're vault-shooting straight down they'll miss and get trapped
Michael Anderson
So I have about 35k Renown, and I was thinking of getting one of the new DLC operators. I was thinking of either getting Ela or Lesion, because Ying seems really useless (by that I mean that her gadget is inconsistent, and her choice in primary weapons is between an LMG and a shotgun, both of which are considered lower-tier weapon classes in this game). It takes me a while to get renown because I’m not able to play often due to work, so I want to get the most bang for my buck, as it were. So what do?
Joshua Garcia
>Buy my first DLC operator with renown >It's Frost >Her SMG is complete garbage
If I knew it was that bad I would've gotten someone else instead.
Cooper Gonzalez
>being bad
Brandon Davis
it's from world war 2 m8, what did you expect?
Lucas James
Then you say it is company policy not to comment unreleased content. Neither confirming nor denying. Now they have taken a stance and they will be called liars. Not like Veeky Forums and a single tweet reach many people but the message is out there. Ubi are dirty liars.
>hurr leaks are fake news >t. Ubi shill
Christian Harris
git gud you plebeian
Luke Edwards
Buy Ela if you're a cunt who enjoys abusing her absurdly overpowered self
Buy Lesion if you're a top lad
Practically speaking Ela is an amazing choice right now and she will without doubt be nerfed in coming patches.
Lesion is a solid pick and I'm not sure whether Ubi would even tweak him desu. He's a quite well balanced operator who suits both roaming and perimeter defense.
If you want to abuse Ela now, by all means do so, but I hope to God you have an SSD with Siege installed on it or you are going to struggle to pick her since literally everyone who has her wants to use her
Camden Flores

Brandon Butler
I have 25,000 renown. I want to buy blackbeard for usefulness but capitao seems more fun. Either own or have no interest in the other ops. Which should I get?
Jaxon Clark
the fuck are you talking about? they made a brazil map, as if filth would stop them.
Charles Watson
Red dot or holo?
Robert Young
I already foresee Ela getting nerfed super hard, which is why I was leaning towards Lesion; I don’t want to get an op who won’t be (at least somewhat) consistent for even a single season.
What’s a good strat for using the Gu mines?
Nathaniel Taylor
Capi is more fun, but his guns are absolute shit and he also requires time to learn how to play effectively.
Tyler Taylor
Throw them in places that would make it awkward for the enemy, I find it best to put them *over* thresholds rather than *on* them, so the enemy can't just back out again immediately. Try also to not die early so you get as many as possible.
Colton Ross
You regenerate them every 30 seconds. You start off with a single mine, and keep getting them up to a total of 7.
It's probably a better strategy to reinforce and immediately leave the objective. You want to guess common entry points etc and plant them there, because when you return to the objective when the round starts you'll still be generating mines. Subsequently, you'll have plenty of time to set them up nearby the objective but you might not be able to leave and set them up elsewhere on the map later.
He's a really fun operator, and you can play him in a lot of different ways.
