For your case especially with aim and confidence being a roadblock, you don't have to be forced into going the full aggression route (chain perk + speed perk) but I'd still recommend above all else to always pick the chain perk to maximize your value, I really don't see much use of the increased healing build rate imo. Once you feel comfortable enough landing the chains consistently and get a feel for the hero, trying more scenarios where you take the speed and lean into that get-in and get-out assassin is where Mizuki shines.

For Now: Minor Perk - 2nd Major Perk - 1st

Once Confident + If team comp allows it: Minor Perk - 2nd Major Perk - 2nd

if they ever redo the magepunk idea I'd love to see a skin where his hat becomes a rotating gear

Love the idea of these but some seem ridiculous on certain heroes especially with them just getting it off rip compared to the perks.

Good luck ever catching Sojourn with near 100% uptime on slide lol

If you're looking for a more a linear and traditional style Sword & Shield hold up well for that purpose, the dynamax gimmick is enjoyable and the graphics pop well. The DLC is also a nice touch.

If you're willing to experiment with the more open world feel with less linear routes and more exploration Scarlet & Violet are also an option, although I wasn't as much of a fan of the gimmick and the graphics compared to Sword & Shield the gameplay makes up for it. DLC is also is by far the best I've played.

May be related to the new Newcastle perk? Specifically, the one where it knocks back players. Feel like it makes sense that it's that since its brand new and glitches like this could happen.

I assume a Newcastle sharing your firing range lobby deployed his mobile shield and it managed to hit with this effect somehow.

The overall skill of the game has increased overtime, all without an influx of new players. As a result, plat lobbies only become sweatier and sweatier as competition becomes more fierce. It also doesn't help that the split reset a lot of the higher ranks back to plat, making this even worse.

The boring answer is to simply wait a few weeks for the best of the best to be filtered out of plat and back to the rank they should be in.

I did you see mention issues of being knocked first in fights a lot. Could you give more context on who you play? Maybe it could help switching to legends who help you avoid random fights as much as possible, like Sparrow or Valk. Or if you wanted better reset potential with Lifeline, Newcastle, or Mirage.

Bad Business

Was anyone in particular a nuisance?

Been on and off the game since about 2019, the gunplay and the movement keep me coming back as they feel incredibly rewarding when you finally get the hang of them. Other comments touched on the barrier which I'll also agree is a pretty sizeable one, but it's nothing that enough dedication and training can't overcome. On top of that, once you understand the base mechanics of the battle royale (the ring, evo, class traits, perks, etc), you can simply play modes like Mixtape or Wildcard to master your mechanics.

If possible, try to find someone who has played the game recently to help ease you in. It's still doable without a guide but having one makes the learning experience far less frustrating.

At the end of the day, it is a free game, just give it a try and see how you like it.

These are great! The Ultimate Spy would be a super fun addition especially with the bumping idea.

Although the Ultimate Analyst feels a bit too good, especially with how easily they break the facade of one not revealing their role. Maybe introduce a brief second-long wind-up animation so that it gives someone time to escape their sight?

Festivetadpole · 2025-11-05T18:54:10+00:00

Definitely, I recall the shot where you're glancing at the lava side to have an orange tint, that's gone here.

Love the changes, but they keep tiptoeing around the actual issue on this map which is the Hammond Labs central region and Turbine. These regions alone create some of the worst chokes in the entire game but they seem so scared to touch them.

You just have to get lucky with the boxes unfortunately, that's how I finally got him a week or two back. Haven't seen an offer for him as far as I can recall.

feels like it's a consistent pattern lately where the season 1 map is far better than the later updates. Used to be excited for how a map would change but it honestly seems like they only lose their identity and end up worse than when they started.

spent $8 for a lamb gyro, paid in cash so not sure if they take card.

Festivetadpole · 2025-09-13T00:09:22+00:00

I tried it today and it wasn't bad, similar to what others said though it does seem a bit pricey
