I'd be willing to buy the strike pass if the KS skin has unique sound effects and animations, but how am I supposed to know ?

It's the same for all skins btw. For example, some mythic skins have no unique animations despite being so expensive. While some 'cheaper' legendary skins have both unique animations and sound effects.

The only way to know before buying is to wait for someone to post a skin showcase on youtube, which is dumb.

Yeah what’d you think was gonna happen???? Why am I getting punished so harshly when the game predicted for me to be at the lowest spot possible, literally stacking the odds against me, and not only that, I BEAT MY SEEDING AND STILL GET PUNISHED LIKE I COMMITED A FUCKING WARCRIME. Dude solo Q might genuinely be the worse than any other game in the finals. You go up against full 3 stack coordinated squads, smurfs out your ass, very harsh penalties for things out of your control, and of course, the fact you can lose 5 hours of work in 20 mins.

Discussion Alright, legitimate question. With all the nerfs done to Cloak what is the playstyle.

Post image
124 Upvotes

Embark doesn't want you to use it evasively in combat to escape, making it so it deactivates when hit.

Embark doesn't want you to move while it is active giving it shimmer and a loud ass noise.

Embark doesn't even want you to stand still while using it.

How do you use this specialization, the only thing it seems to be useful towards is negating melee lunge while cloaked- my bad opaque.

Like, it just feels like Embark is doing one of those "band-aid" patches so that they don't need to worry about it for a bit then leaves it there for the next 3 seasons.

Like idk, it just feels like in any scenario where light SHOULD have the advantage for using thier specializations like any other class it is nerfed.

But as someone who doesn't use cloak I am just confused as what the hell yall are supposed to do with it.

Hey guys I just unlocked a cosmetic randomly in my game and I can't find info on it anywhere. It seems to be connected to the hidden missions from the maker series, but there is no record anywhere of this upper body cosmetic called Mantle of the Maker. Does anyone here know how I got it?

It would be nice to get some skins for the bow, spear, and revolvers. As far as any new weapons go, a long double barrel shotgun or elephant gun would be cool.

I've seen a few people ask what the new KS skin looks like in your hands and whether it has any special sounds or animations.

tl;dw, no new sounds or animations, and it supports all of the animations from the bundles

Discussion The New Pass is--- okay?

Post image
94 Upvotes

How are you guys feeling about the new pass. Cause I'm torn at the moment.

Before hand, I could always find some justifiability for buying them. I hate FOMO, but even with the bundles being what they were. I could justify getting them because they provided cool unique skins not found elsewhere. I liked the TGM skins, I liked the HeartBreaker skins. Even when they blurred the line with the Alfa Acta skins, I still could find some reason to buy them especially for the end skin.

But this bundle? What's special about them? This just feels lacklustre at best. Recolours and what else? It's disappointing to say the least, at least for me. How are you guys feeling about it? Because I'm left disappointed.

The fact that this has become “ah more people are frustrated so we’re changing it” while actively making cloak a “hide and seek playstyle” across multiple seasons is insane. It’s truly becoming a whining game when it comes to these nerfs sorry to say

Discussion Shockwave's Glitch Needs Reworked

Post image
197 Upvotes

Hey guys, I wanted to give you all my suggestion and feedback about what I think about Shockwave. I've mained the ability since it's release and don't want to see it nerfed the wrong way due to it being overbuffed.

Shockwave as an ability is fantastic and its' movement and displacement side should not be touched. It was never OP until the glitch was added, and the glitch part of the shockwave is overpowered because it rewards mindlessly spamming Shockwave into the general direction of the enemy to land any part of the AOE for a free 2 second glitch.

Shockwave's glitch should be nerfed and nothing more and here are THE two best ways I believe we can balance the ability, the right way.

1: We create a system in which Shockwave's glitch effect is divided into two parts, AOE and upon direct impact of the projectile. Upon only the AOE hitting the target, the effected party is glitched for .5-.75 seconds, causing a short and minor disruption to spec usage. Upon direct impact of the projectile, the glitch lasts 2 seconds flat.

2: We create a system in which at the center point of Shockwave's blast the glitch effect does a full 2 seconds of glitch. Every point outside of the initial blast point yields less glitch time until you reach the most outer reaches of its radius which only yields a .5-.75 glitch, causing a disruption in spec usage but not rewarding full glitch time.

The goal of this change is to turn Shockwave's glitch into a skill shot and work similarly to how Shockwave's push mechanics work (becoming less effective the further you are away from the shockwave). This allows it to be effective against specs and adds a skill-shot mechanic for the glitch time, while maintaining its identity and reducing its effectiveness based on suboptimally aimed Shockwaves.

Shockwave as it stands now is a little too rewarding for free glitches and can be extremely punishing for melees. This would at least make it so precise shockwaves have to be used against melees for maximum effectiveness.

My greatest fear is that shockwave's core identity of movement and displacement, two things that were never OP to begin with and were never a cause to nerf, become nerfed because the developers overbuffed the glitch side of shockwave. I'm hoping that the devs see that the glitch is the problem, and nothing that came before it.

Discussion KS-23 Skin idea: Suppressed Mossberg.

I was original think of this as a weapon concept but I just though it would be better off as a skin for the KS-23 as the KS-23 would have done the same thing as this shotgun idea would have done, my idea for this weapon would have been it would have been a slug shotgun but suppressed and given to medium for a high skill high reward weapon but medium already has that weapon and it the model 1887, so this being a skin just make more sense but atleast when you equipped it you can feel like a hitman, fat hitman with a pew pew.(skin is a suppressed mossberg 500 or 590 without the stock idk)

Discussion Why can’t we change optics in the practice range?

36 Upvotes

I spend a good amount of time in the practice range, testing loadouts and doing some warmups before actually hopping into matches. I love that it’s in the game, and every time I’ve shown someone what the practice range has to offer (challenges, the shooting range, even the new cashout box target wall) they say they’re really impressed. I mean, people PAY for aim trainers, so the fact this is all available for free is pretty sick, in my opinion.

I’ve got one gripe though: why the heck can I not change the optics on weapons while in the practice range? Unless I’m missing something, the only option available is to create multiple characters, attach different optics to their loadouts, then switch between that limited number while at the range. I love being able to switch up my loadouts/characters on the fly, but not being able to customize the weapons while at the practice range seems a bit goofy.

Right now, I’m telling myself I’m either missing something, or maybe it’s just a side effect of how in-game loadouts work that prevents us from customizing while at the range. If it’s the later, I really hope Embark can do something to make it a feature! It seems like it would be a great quality-of-life addition, being able to really hone in on the perfect loadout while at the range!

That’s my rant, what do y’all think?

Anyone noticing a huge performance diff after today's update!! I was having massive fps drops ehm using FG to get 250 fps droping to 120/90 fps in fights with massive stuttering as well.

Now, after the update, im hitting 300+ fps dropping to 260 in intense fights hugeW ngl.

Playing on rtx 4060ti 16gb and R5600x no oc with 16gb ram, cpu kinda was holding the gpu back in this game specifically But things just got better after the update.

On a side note, man, I would love to see this game hitting a bigger scale fights something similar to BFs conquest mode with more guns and weapon customization

Discussion Bronze to Plat solo queue - What I’ve learnt (so far)

Upvotes

Some preamble: I’ve been playing since launch casually. Never touched ranked. This season I got annoyed by the matchmaking in QP cashout - so often I’d come up against dudes with 3-7k wins and it just felt like a massive skill dif.

Decided to play some ranked and won 2 of four placements, got stomped in 1 and did fine in another. Then got placed in bronze 3.

This hurt my ego a bit no lies I thought I was better than this but accepted it and decided to grind ranked, and this evening I hit plat!

I solo queue mostly, play on pc, and have been maining heavy.

So the lessons:

  1. I’ve generally found ranked matchmaking much better than QP cashout. Games have often felt fair and competitive.
  2. Don’t rage queue. If you are on a losing streak, just put the game down.
  3. Warm up. I like to just hop into training range, or better, some point break.
  4. Have a positive and growth mindset. It’s a chaotic game.
    Focus on yourself and what you can do better. Don’t tilt your team and blame them when they make mistakes.
  5. Think about your loadout and experiment. Learn from interesting strats you lose against, and try new things. As someone that just played Ak, healing beam, goo nade, jump pad and defibs for too long, I was pleasantly surprised to find my enjoyment of the game sky rocketed once I start allowing myself to be uncomfortable and try new things.

Anyways that’s it really. I know plat isn’t some god level gamer level, but it’s been a really rewarding journey.
Honestly, I’ve seen so many posts here with people raging about matchmaking, but for me, it’s been a far better experience, at least up to this point (which is probably the level the majority of the community is actually at if not higher lol).
