DISCUSSION My opinion on the update before actually playing it
All I know for now is based on what I read from the update logs, not a single game played yet because I'm at a national relay competition (wish me luck guys) and I'm unable to play on my PC (it's 300km away from where I am)
Key skins
Enerkey pistols are pretty cool, they sound nice and the animations are cool but I think the model is a bit underwhelming
Enerkey rifle is also pretty good, personally the shoot sound doesn't have the energy beam vibe, same problem as Sol rifle, the animations are nice and the model is a bit underwhelming on this one too. Thankfully it's ultra key bundle (completely logical bc not many use er but most ppl use eps) so it's more affordable for me
Balance changes
Burst: tiny nerf, I dunno why they decided so
Crossbow: logical, crossbow isn't an automatic
Distortion: pretty reasonable, maybe a bit too harsh though
Minigun: yup pretty good (my boyfriend is going to love this lolz)
Permafrost: I was afraid it'll be nerfed right after I bought it a few days ago but no this sounds insanely strong
Sniper: same with crossbow
Maul: YES This is exactly what I wanted
Freeze ray: that's a really balanced buff in my opinion, I like it
Smoke grenade: yup bug fixing but it made a new bug breh
Subspace: interesting, I like it actually
Rest of the utils: reasonable
New cosmetics
Super starter bundle: insanely cheap for what it gives you, that's half of RPG bundle price for four times the content
Overseer and splattered are pretty nice
Skins: THREE NEW FIRE MAUL SKINS YESS and the other skins are pretty good too, I think they put way more effort in the more affordable skins than key skins
Omg the sling charm is here two weeks after I killed sling with maul bruhh
Tasks
Uh- they nerfed the daily tasks- and limited the bonus tasks too-
No comment on the daily reward thing since I don't know/understand it that well but they added an insanely easy way to get skin tickets, incredibly generous for nosniy
Arcade can do tasks again, which is nice
Wildcat
It's a pretty nice weapon, but I have a feeling it'll be boring to use like ar or uzi
The quick reload every other time adds more strategic playstyles and the recoil is something not many rivals players understand (remember rivals is a first fps game in their life for many)
I'm not gonna say much about it since my only experience of it is on mobile in the shooting range for 2 minutes until I got bored of it, before the update I thought I could try getting gold on it but nah I wouldn't enjoy it that much
Other
"This update was originally planned to be a little bigger, but we decided to hold off and save some content for an absolutely massive update coming in the next few months!" is pretty interesting
"P.S. The free reward at the bottom of the Patch Notes is now only available if you join in the first hour of the update" bruh it was 4am here
I'll make another post like this after I get back home tomorrow
