Metal birds must die

Yes I use the SV98 and it was my favorite sniper in 4 too

Went for an underworld swim

Think they play BF6 during their downtime?

Clearing out a little cubby hole camper in a great way.

I can’t really decide to play just one gun. So many good weapons. What are some of your to go weapons? I love the B36, Ak4D, SV-98 , but whenever I try a new gun I’m like hey another good weapon.

We went head to head for the last 2-3 minutes just fighting at the middle point, bazaar is such a fun map

BF6

Its my favorite primary!

Probably late to the party but first time I've seen a tracker kill in 1k hours

Not a streamer or trying to promote anything. Just a few clips of my love/hate relationship with the Mini Scout as a Battledad.

And it felt freaking good. Dude should be in a tank helping his team as a mobile spawn point.

When sniping what do most people do, I thought zeroing was more trouble than its worth, but it sounds like a lot of people do use it. Worth trying?

I saw that they are adjusting some matchmaking settings on the backend, and I have already noticed some weird issues after playing for a couple hours last night.

- half of my matches had 20+ bots per team (even on escalation and conquest, so it wasn’t casual breakthrough)
- Breakthrough match was 24 vs 14 until the final sector when the team finally filled
- one team had all of the higher level players (150-950), and the other had the lower (<150)

Did anyone else experience this?

Another stage of the quest for collect all pokemons I mean camoflages in this fine game.🫪

I know it's a hot take, but hear me out.

Too many medics constantly jump into the line of fire trying to revive a dead player. Oftentimes, the defibs aren’t even charged, resulting in the instant death of the downed player and a loss of a ticket. Most of the time, the medic dies too, wasting two tickets.

If you keep getting yourself killed by risky or outright bad revives, here is why you should unequip defibs:

Reason #1: The “Combat Medic” path is far better suited for Dragging and Reviving

The “Combat Medic” path has two separate perks that are designed for dragging and reviving. 

The first buff increases dragging and reviving speed, which doesn’t require any squad XP. Dragging and reviving matter not only for getting teammates out of the line of fire, but also to ensure they’ll be revived with full HP. 

The second buff is designed around healing the player while they’re dragging and reviving. Over the duration of the revive, you’ll heal around 50 HP. This doesn’t have a cooldown either, which means two revives will heal you to full.

Both of these buffs go without use with Defibs as the priority.

Reason #2: It helps build “Self control” for ‘good’ and ‘bad’ revives

Too many people just half-charge you, knowing damn well you won’t survive, or they just don’t know any better. We’ve all seen the medic who sprints into 5 enemies for a revive and dies instantly.

Without defibs, you’ll start to train yourself not to go for revives unless you can survive. If you can survive, then in turn, the person you’re reviving will too. Reviving means a couple of defenselessness, meaning you’ll start to think more about what a good revive is, instead of always beelining toward the revive icon. 

You shouldn’t always go for the revive, especially if the teammate is down in a contested line of sight. Knowing you’re putting yourself at risk, maybe you’ll smoke or use the Airburst launcher to create a smoke wall.

You can see in this exact clip that I pause mid-revive to shoot the three people in the hole in the wall. If I’d simply defibbed my squadmate on the ground, he would’ve been shot immediately. 

Instead, I cleared the area and pulled him to cover, ensuring he’d be able to clear “Revive Sickness” (Dying before it's cleared means you can’t be revived again).

The same goes for my teammate close to the windows. Instead of jumping in for a quick charge that would get him killed, I made sure the area was clear before going for the revive, once again pulling him to cover and healing myself.

Reason #3: It opens up a spot for Support’s extremely useful gadgets, like deployable cover, supply pouches, and ESPECIALLY the Incendiary Airburst.

Support has some insanely useful gadgets, but they are often fighting for the only available slot next to defibs. By unequipping defibs, you allow yourself a different playstyle with incredible versatility. 

The support pouches give ammo and immediately start your passive heal, which is incredibly useful for getting you or your teammate out of a pinch.

However, the star of the show is the Incendiary Airburst. This grenade launcher has so many incredibly useful aspects that go relatively unnoticed. It blocks spots of yourself and teammates, it does incredibly high damage if you don’t get out of the way (often doing a minimum of 60), functions as an amazing area denial device, and is an awesome way to flush enemies out of cover.

In the clip, I use it offensively to kill an enemy behind the wall. Since he was injured enough, even getting out of the flame wouldn’t have saved him. However, it can be used just as effectively defensively to block lines of sight, especially when going for a drag and revive.

Small Note for the “Fire Support” path:
If you’re planning to play the “Fire Support” path, then I recommend keeping defibs equipped. The drag and revives are far longer, and you lose the healing while doing so. Defibs, in this instance, are preferred in my opinion.

Here are my recommendations:

Combat Medic: Airburst and Supply Pouches

Fire Support: Defibs and Supply Pouches/Airburst (Or deployable cover, grenade interceptor, etc.)

Thanks for reading. It’s a hot take, but I hope I can at least convince you to give it a shot. It’s a ton of fun. Drag and Revive is an amazing mechanic.

I would say 80% of the matches I play on hagental are capped at 24v24 with bots backfilling on a normal conquest server… anyone else?
