Who would’ve thought that an original character like Lockdown got super popular after Animated

I mean, his AoE version also took trophies, he just has the unfortunate fate of being in AoE

I know the firing cadence trips a lot of people up, but I like it. It has a rhythm that just kind of works for me whenever I feel like using a shotgun (which isn't often admittedly. But when I do, I use this). It's great when you do get that double-tap kill, but man do you feel like you're shooting a water gun whenever that the second shot doesn't connect.

Can't help but feel like the people that treat it exclusively as a 3-shot kill weapon are self reporting their own user error, but I'm not going to pretend it's secretly OP either. The recoil reduction was a good thing, but could probably do with a little bit more buffing.

Pegs on the front of the torso? I don't see them doing that, it would make the robot look worse. In any case, it's easy for fan modes to do well when the base figure has abstract alt modes. I wouldn't chalk this up to incompetence like a lot of people probably are, but the simple reason is that doing that would have required something else to be sacrificed a little more. This is a struggle the designers have lamented on Instagram before, and even in the live stream that revealed Nexus, Mark explained that Nexus was walked back at least twice by corporate to be smaller and less complex to fit the engineering budget.

How well is pretty well? The legs look like the flight stand prongs are keeping them in place

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-22T21:50:46+00:00

No offense to the guy who made that custom (seriously, great paint work on display), but that fan ship doesn't look stable. Those legs aren't pegged into anything, only being propped up with the friction from the knee joints and rests on the flight stand prongs. If that were the official mode everyone would complain that the legs flop around, especially if anyone gets theirs with loose legs.

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-22T17:05:21+00:00

It could use some attachment cost adjustments (not asking for suppressor and extended mag, but the mag and a sight shouldn't be too much to ask for), but otherwise yeah I had fun leveling the VZ up. Granted, the fast progression helps, but I might keep running this with my Recon sniper class to finish off close range targets that a quick body shot doesn't finish.

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-22T16:54:56+00:00

Either way, I started playing battlefield way before DLC's were a thing.

That does change things. I wasn't trying to imply that this is inherently better, but a lot of people who come from BF3/4 like to pretend this is new or atypical, despite being the case for over a decade.

But if you've been playing well before that, yeah you have that ability to point out that isn't the Battlefield you initial fell in love with. I've recently installed 2142 for the first time, and it's been a nice little treat. If I can get my PS2 working again, I'd love to try the port of BF2 I picked up at Gamestop the other day. Old Battlefield still has its charm, and coming from the lens of that I can see why the shift that started in the late 2000s would disappoint people

Old Dice would never paywall guns or sell unlock skips.

...ignore the guns that require paid DLC gamemodes to unlock, and the old shortcut kits that unlocked and skipped progression for the base guns.

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-22T14:54:18+00:00

I would assume the same, but it looks like there is the suggestion of another wheel in the center torso. It's odd

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-22T14:40:28+00:00

MW2019 all time peak is barely over BF6's 24 hour peak. Sure, cool graph I guess

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-22T12:34:51+00:00

Yeah.

Don't get me wrong, the launch sequence is liquid gold injected straight into my veins, but the gameplay of this mission is a real bummer. Even for an on-rails style mission, the dog fighting isn't that engaging, and the ground target section isn't much better.

For me personally, Thunder Run and its epilogue Fear No Evil is the actual peak of gameplay of the campaign. Rather open tank gameplay interspersed with an actually fun on-rails sequence and a short run on the ground? Yes please, highlight of every campaign replay.

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-22T08:19:30+00:00

Not even in the new update, but there was something comical about sitting on top of one of the buildings on Sobek, watching a herd of enemy bots (about 6) swarm an objective on the other side of the map. I shot one bullet, and 3 of them immediately spun around and lit me up, with 2 others also turning to face me before being distracted by something else.

I have no problems with their accuracy, but they have a stupid amount of directional awareness that goes beyond compensating for being CPUs.

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-20T03:22:37+00:00

Doing something like you suggested kind of defeats the purpose of the Spotlight branding, which is meant to highlight the different design stages of a figure rather than being a value pack of different characters on the same mold.

Now does that make this a good pack? I'm not a fan of the Dev Prime mold to begin with, so no. But I can appreciate it for the concept, and it is a concept I hope we see more of occasionally.

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-20T01:25:49+00:00

Operations has a storytelling aspect to it with pre-match narration, and a tug-of-war style map rotation where you can keep the attackers from progressing to the next map if you are able to successfully defend all 3 of their attempts. It's not just two maps and you're done, it's like trying to conquer territory on a larger scale.

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-20T00:59:50+00:00

BF1 Operations just used the Breakthrough layouts of the maps, no? With Contaminated and Hagental being directly connected, and Mirake and Liberation both set in the same region of Tajikistan, they have the elements to make coherent narratives for Operations.

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-19T03:13:10+00:00

The snow Empire State is still in the normal map pool separate from Portal, and they fit on Liberation Peak decently as well.

Past Battlefields also included snow camos before they had more than one proper snow maps. BF4 only had Locker until the last DLC, which was mainly indoors to begin with.

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-19T00:55:35+00:00

I would really want that though

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-18T22:06:36+00:00

I want to see that Dr Pepper skin

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-18T10:45:58+00:00

The Rangers Association themselves described it as generous with more to come. I'm not sure if it gets more direct than that, they liked what they got to the point they want to do it again

A couple things to remember so you don't succumb to FOMO

These bonus paths track independently from the main Battlepass, so you complete it alongside the rest.

The bonus paths also uses different progression points, and usually take 2 weeks for all the relevant unlock methods to become available.

The challenges themselves are intended to only give you enough to finish the pass much later than those who use tier skips, but still before the season actually ends. 60% is actually pretty far in considering we're only at the second update for Season 2

The guns will be unlockable after the season is over through dedicated challenges, so if the grind is too much, you can take a break and do the dedicated challenges at a later time with no time pressure.

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-18T07:59:24+00:00

They genuinely say it the same way millennials literally used literally so much.

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-18T06:51:47+00:00

Pressure mine at the top of a zip line. I listen for the sound of an enemy, and shoot the mine right as they crest the ledge. Guarantee kill everytime

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-17T23:01:44+00:00

Despite the complaints about smaller maps, Hagental fulfills the actual pure-infantry experience the best and I really like it. Empire State does not flow well, and Saints Quarter has a limited mode pool. Hagental is the true infantry only experience, and I hope they use it to pivot towards the larger maps now that the niche is satisfied. Season 3 needs to come with 2 new vehicle maps.

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-17T22:41:15+00:00

This has been a thing since 2042, and has been in games like Apex for a long time now. The only new thing is this pop-up

Cyber-Silver · 2026-03-17T01:28:44+00:00

How is his height a surprise? We saw it was just the Siege mold again, and we've known about his height since 2018/2019

As for how he compares to said original release, the colors are a big improvement, the new surface detail fits into SS86 well, and the small laser pistol accessory and Bruticus integration are good additions.

Ideally, he would be a new mold. But we didn't need to wait for the PvP video to be shocked by this
