I'm currently reinstalling Rogue Spear on my PC, are there known incompatibilities with Windows 8.1? Are there programs/mods that I should download?

this is mostly catered towards blitz (because he's hands down the most fun operator in the game) for reference, my K/D with blitz is 2.07, W/L 2.28 with about 60/40 casual/ranked distribution, reliable up to mid-to-high plat (depends on your entry fragger)
>combat hipfire > ADS > melee hipfire is your dominant close range tool, you can also do a blood sacrifice to randomly headshot jäger at long range always put a laser on shield pistols the hipfire is at its tightest when standing still in a crouched position so if you flash someone you drop into a crouch, stop all movement and fire away getting shot at the shield decreases hipfire accuracy drastically, so don't magdump someone if you see your crosshair going as wide as the screen itself usage of ADS is up to discretion, also useful when dealing with 3 armors because they're fucking bullet sponges at anything but point blank
melee is for helpless flash victims and if you run out of ammo DON'T TRY TO OUT-MELEE AN ENEMY RUSHING YOU let him hit your shield, turn to the side so that his next melee/shot hits your shield and then flash+hipfire the cunt to death
>crouch spam is your friend if you move forward while crouched your legs are protected, but you're slow and keep your hands/feet at the same spot if you strafe sideways while crouched your legs actually cross past the shield and can be shot at if you move forward while standing up your legs are exposed, but you're way faster
continuously alternating between the two stances gives you good speed while still protecting your legs enough it also realigns your legs with your center, which results in them not crossing past the shield when strafing sideways an added bonus is that your hand hitbox is constantly shifting its position up and down, which makes it harder to hit your shield rattle gives a good base rhythm for it if you notice the enemy focusing your legs you adjust the timing towards staying crouched longer than standing up

>movement take a route that minimizes the time in which the enemy has free line of sight on you use cover just like you would with a normal op (chest high cover is awesome for ADS peeking people btw) your shield is the means to crossing unsafe territory between cover without getting headshotted it's not a free pass for you to walk openly towards the enemy and through crossfire, that's montys job
sometimes you need to expend health in order to cross an unsafe angle and get into a favorable position just make sure that most your HP loss actually serves a positional purpose playing cat and mouse with a jäger in an empty area is a good way to lose HP without actually achieving anything this is especially true for blitz, if you can get your enemy within shotgun OHK-range you can get them into full-flash range
>peeking / ADS strafing in and out of cover is a good way to conceal the ADS transition animation jigglepeek around the corner with your shield to get a view of the angle you're concerned about once you want to engage you strafe back into cover, go into ADS and strafe back out combine with lean and crouch as you see fit if you die mostly to headshots you're probably ADSing too much/for too long and/or aren't concealing the animation properly walking straight into an unexpected magdump happens, but it shouldn't happen all the time
keep your fire discipline though, two shots ADS, then straight back into shield at long range you want to use this to discourage people from holding complacent angles on you
in general you should jiggle peek every room that you're about to enter first assess the situation for as long as you like while you're not committed yet, then move in

3/4
>flashing people contrary to what shitters want to tell you his flash is actually very consistent if you know what you're doing as long as the enemy within 4 meters when you hit the switch they will be fully flashed for 3,5 seconds neither the duration nor the intensity of this "full flashed" state scale with distance, so a flash at 3,8m gives you the same result as flashing someone point blank full-flash also ignores what direction the enemy is facing when you flashed them, so even if they turn their back they get full flashed
don't overthink when to flash, you have enough of them not sure wether that guy was within full-flash range? flash him again think there's an enemy around the corner? prefire your flash while entering
LEARN YOUR FLASH RANGE BY HEART DONT EVER MAKE A DECISION BASED ON THE HAND-INFRONT-OF-THE-FACE ANIMATION I can't stress this enough the earlier you start ignoring this animation (which triggers even when you look at a flashbang 20m away) the less buttblasted you will get about people that are supposedly blind but headshot you anyway don't ADS someone you flashed unless it's apparent that he's full-flashed (sprints into a corner, keeps firing the same direction even though you sidestepped, point blank flash, etc)
flashing also cancels your reload animation and instantly puts your shield back infront of you
>shield lag your shields rotation lags behind what you actually see on screen this is also the reason lagstabbing exist even if you perfectly track a 3speed sprinting past you he can still melee your shoulder because on his screen you didn't even turn the shield
how to avoid getting lagstabbed: flash -> sidestep -> hipfire it will happen, but if it happens to you consistently you're not doing enough to discourage the enemy from rushing you - especially as blitz

>caveira the fucking cunt if you need to spend 5 flashes to kill her it's absolutely worth it her cancer pistol will two-shot you in the arm and ruin your day if she catches you off guard she's the only enemy op that warrants throwing a drone
on the flipside there's no better opportunity to push through hellfire than during an ongoing interrogation people go absolutely nuts when the wallhacks start, use their recklessness to your advantage
>shield angles the further away an enemy is from you the more severely you're punished for angle offset in relation to him the corner of your viewing window are good indicators for that if an enemy is 20+ meters away from you and at the corner of your little window, chances are he has an angle on half your body and parts of your head
>stairs if you're directly aiming at someone holding a downwards angle on you down you're exposing part of your head while moving up the stairs keep the crosshair atleast one, better two, head heights above the enemy
>the P12 learn how this smooth firing goddess of a pistol handles by going gsg9-pistol-only in casual for as many rounds in a row as your sanity can handle
>reloading your shield covers part of your side during reload if you turn, but your head is still exposed timing your reloads while in close quarter combat with enemies is the key to getting sick killchains
Samuel Peterson
Nth for reminder to immediately quit the match if Caveira downs you
Daniel Miller
5/4 because word limit
>other stuff learn how to play with shotguns, they use the same movement and positioning skillset as shields do your goal is to reduce distance between you and the enemy while minimizing the time you're actually exposed to fire
push as hard as you can and dial down from there in consecutive rounds if it fails, not the other way around nothing breaks my heart more than an watching a scared blitz that awkwardly shuffles around the outskirt of the firefight and eventually succumbs to trickle damage without achieving anything worthwhile
at the start you need to learn what situations you can safely push and which are deadly to you the only way to do that is to be as risky as possible and assessing afterwards wether it worked or not watch the killcams, look especially for how your shield rotated on his screen compared to yours the more instances of shield lag get you killed the more you will understand how to avoid it

Thanks for effortpost
Camden Carter
I don't intend to sound like a dick because you've spent so long writing this but Blitz only works if your enemy is retarded and has shit aim. If you have a great team with you, you'll do well, but you'll also do well even as recruit because you have a great team. All your webms show the enemy doing stupid plays or you winning thanks to dumb luck since the enemy's aim is so shit. A quick look at your stats also show that you play almost all casual, or win games by playing jaeger on defense Blitz can be absurdly good in certain situations but he's dogshit useless in all others, I don't understand how you think otherwise

Much appreciated user
Michael Morgan
>or win games by playing jaeger on defense most of my jäger time was spent shotgunning people to death
also >almost all casual and yet if I play with my mate(s) and have a competent entry fragger following me we're effective right up until you hit high plat full stacks - at which point the high speed peek meta is 2stronk for anything but monty just don't do it every single round or you'll get swarmed with C4
I get what you're saying, and I partially agree in that I'm not that much of a ranked nerd, but in the end most of this is mechanical knowledge that can be applied in the majority of skill levels

repost in hope of a response:
I need some halp anons. Up until like a month a go I was playing pretty decently (1.1 k/d and 1.2 w/l in ranked, i know its not anything special but i'm happy with it), but suddenly i turned to trash and onlyget like 1-2 kills per match. Nothing has changed in terms of set-up, settings etc. should i take a break as i play nearly every day?
Ethan Morgan
Hi user, thank you very much for all that info.
Just one question specific to Blitz ; by how you have explained everything, you don't sound like you drone much, so how do you actually approach the whole offense? Do you ever go alone or do you clear rooms with help from teamm mates to cover for unfavourable angles?
Asher Bennett
just like your sex life haha got 'em
Matthew Collins
tfw long distance tfw jerking to porn stars that look like your gf
Jacob Peterson
Not that guy but also another blitz main, aproaching from safe angles is the best way, so you have good cover for your legs and and keep staring down the enemy to keep the pressure, stay around long enough either your teamates start to flank them or you keep taking away their health with safe shots
Andrew Cooper

Tyler Gray
>you don't sound like you drone much if I'm playing with my group I'm effectively acting as a drone by peeking into rooms and finding targets for my fragger while I'm looking into/through rooms he's holding a defensive angle on my most vulnerable flanks when I find a roamer I'll either kill him myself if the situation allows it or call my fragger over, who then either prefires where I tell him to or waits for me to pressure the roamer into focusing on me either way he doesn't peek the enemy until I tell him to, that way he enters the room at what I believe is the most opportune moment
if I go alone I pick a corner room, skyscraper geisha for example, and work my way through the building in a fashion that leaves the least amount of flanking opportunities drones are used for rooms and pathways that cannot be safely entered without intel or when I think/know they have a cav chilling in the corner for a couple of seconds to soundwhore before moving forward is also used extensively
running with random teammates is hit and miss, mostly because you really can't contribute as much to long range peek battles compared to monty if you notice a good solo hunter on your rando team, start clearing rooms with him cover his flanks, go into rooms first and pressure enemies, encroach on enemies that he's engaging, keep caveira off of him attacking the objective is mostly done late game, when you encounter less dense crossfire and find openings to actually get into close range

Jayden Bennett
Not that guy, but he does have a point. The hatches only allow you to go down, so if you're roaming and get caught you're kind of screwed because even if you can relocate, the enemy team can just watch the stairs and have you stuck wherever.

Thank you guys, all very useful information, will put into practice.
Julian Roberts
So I am not the only one. I thought it was my PC.
Ian Kelly
You can use the side entrances and staircases also, opening the first floor windows to do jumpouts. But overall you can't relocate up that's why the last floor site is awful. But the map has 4 bomb sites so you can actually go the full match without using it so this negates that argument
Justin Ross
>New season mixing of ranks end up with me on a losing streak all the way down to Bronze after ranking gold >Carry every match but still not enough to win due to being matched with the most retarded teammates imaginable >Not quite good enough to carry a whole match alone
If I could get just one teammate I could rely on I'd be able to get back up but for now, how can I git gud enough to carry a team alone?
Landon Young

Joshua Reyes
Anybody else having their sights fucked up after the update? I don't know whats going on but they become blurry after 1 second of ADSing.
Ryan Ortiz
I'm taking a break until they fix their shit, the game has actually got worse since Operation Fuckover and the most recent patch. New Ops' are unbalanced and hit detection is somehow worse, never mind I've lost 40 something frames. 3 steps forward, 6 steps back.
Logan Lopez
You guys ought to also reply to OP when you do info dumps like this, so that pastebin user has a higher chance of seeing it and adding it to the FAQ
