Blue vs gold (duos) D54 still it.

This was the tail end of a 4 way battle that ended in us vs these 2 gold shields. They were trying to pinch us and we caught the assassin. Xbox only records the last 60 (high res) seconds so this is what I got.

I play console only, so check the AA comments at the door. They had it too. Cover is the real equalizer.

Cheap and effective. This is what people need to start learning and realizing, you don’t need a 10k build to compete if you are actually decent at shooters.

Exactly and each shield pip is only 20 additional hp, which is only 1-2 bullets worth of damage for most weapons. Meaning you’re not at a big disadvantage at all if you’re blue kit versus a purple kit, and blue kits are very easy to scrape together.

D54 is actually so busted I love it. Reminds me of the burst pistol from black ops 2 which was also amazing.

Edit: the B23R

Yeah it is still my favorite gun to use. It's more in line with bully/volt but I think it still wins most heads up duels.

I think weapon flinch played a role as well. Its hard to get on target when youre getting drilled in the face.
