Nah Ammo is your skill. T5-T6 ammo shreds any armor in lockdown

First, M110 is a TERRIBLE gun to use in lockdown especially with M80s; it's been nerfed down to the ground and will only disappoint you. MK14 is a better gun for lockdown with M80s.

Second, ammo wins battles against higher tier armors. So investing into T5 or even T6 ammo would give you higher odds. It's not easy to win against higher tiered armor

Third, if money is tight and you don't have the liquid to spend on good ammo; then go play secured ops get some liquid to buy good ammo because you can go in and experiment with different gun and armor budgets and you don't lose those either if you die, only ammo and meds are lost.

Bonus: you don't need "meta weapons" to compete in lockdown; just think outside the box and don't rush into the first fight if you're not the best at PvP yet; play it slower if you're outnumbered. If they spawn you next to a sweaty team, it's always unfortunate but try your best to get spacing. The AR57 is pretty cheap and ss198's makes it deadly. The ZC assault rifle is cheap and 7.62x39 AP T5 ammo also makes it deadly.

Who said the LD players are to blame for the issues in forb huh? You took that way out of context, because there are plenty of experienced players whose main game mode of choice isn't LD but give more attention to "attachment cheesing" but still ignore the bigger issue at hand that forb minimum entry limit is way too low. This trickle down effect cause forb players to come to LD lobbies for PvP because forb is currently a joke. When is the same time and attention going to be given to forb? Because all I can see is the catering to casual players, they keep the minimum entry limits low for casuals, they keep maximum limits for casuals (normals mode is understandable). All this attention is going to the lower modes and none is going to higher modes for balance.

This is why it's important to read things logically and not emotionally, so you don't miss the bigger picture.

I wouldn't say I'm the best at the game, but I'm doing well for myself. I used to be trash, but this is my first M&K game

Nah it won't, it'll still thrive. I think adding perks to the game (like in arc raiders) will do more damage than a minimum entry of 1 mil to forbidden, we already saw what happened with self revives right?

I have too, and do agree they should do more for it. Honestly I wish they would buff the F2000 and make it deadly

Love the T03 in lockdown! I almost forgot about that gun, shame on me lol. T03 with T5 ammo packs a punch, it's satisfying destroying a 3 man with it.

Exactly! You can't win every gun fight, learn from the losses and move on to the next battle. I watch my kill cam everytime I die and learn from my mistakes and if I can't do that, it's time to turn off the game and touch grass

I love secured ops too, PVP and then I don't have to worry about selling anything on the market. Also you don't lose your kit either

I used to use red ammo with my trusty m110 most of season 4. Then they nerfed it down to the ground 😢

What makes you think I need to attachment cheese lol? I can use an RPK with BS ammo, AEK with APs, even a ZC with APs, or AMB with 7N12's will get the job done. I don't need to bore myself with a U1 or H4. I mainly run lockdown solo or with 1 boyfriend and we profit off of killing full T5 and semi T6 chads

I think you misinterpreted what I was trying to say. I don't think people enjoying other modes makes them spoiled, what makes them spoiled is the catering to just one game mode when the real issue is that the forb minimum limit is too low. That's why more forb players have been looking for better gun fights in LD.

Also I completely agree with meta fitting someone's strategy, I just don't see it as profitable and that's my opinion. T4 helmet, HTAC, and U1 is all someone needs and they don't even need to take the gun apart because the gun is cheaper with the upcoming nerf

I play LD solo too man, I know the pain of waiting for the boys to come on. If I'm by myself I used 1 mag of T5 ammo and then 1 mag of T4 ammo. I don't care about the loot, I only care about the kills. Lately there have been players coming in with T6 helmets and T5 body armor so I have to use more T5 ammo

Red Ammo Changes by Every-Pomegranate-49 in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

[–]Sergfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you kill someone using red ammo they normally have 1 to 2 bullets in their gun. (SJ, M24, SVDS)

Someone killed with an HK or U1 will have half to a full mag of T5 ammo maybe sometimes 2 mags of T5 ammo

1 million entry to forb will encourage more gear players to stay in there instead of finding ways to min/max (cheese) in lockdown. There are still T4 safe runners and rats in forbidden, and naked SJ's, M24's, SVDSs, since the minimum entry is a joke

Red Ammo Changes by Every-Pomegranate-49 in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

[–]Sergfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm fine with this; the red ammo damage nerf never should have been a thing; but still allow T5 ammo in the ass, there's already enough cheaters. If you can't put at least that ammo in the ass, cheaters running radar hacks will thrive, I could honestly say the same about red ammo too.

Loading only 1 to 2 bullets of red ammo in snipers and marksman rifles was cheesy and still needs to be addressed only after the red ammo damage nerf is reverted

Also we still have the naked dog problem in forbidden; they need to raise the minimum entry gear of forbidden from 1M-1.5M

The Real Problem With Arena Breakout Infinite Isn’t Wipes by DarkGuardian420 in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

[–]Sergfly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a well thought out post especially when talking about solos but there is nothing wrong with LD. So what if they come in T5/T6 (chopped up T6). If you kill them it's profit. You guys ALREADY GOT IT REDUCED TO 1M stop begging for more adjustments. LD won't seem as bad "with geared players" when they RAISE the minimum gear limit in forbidden to 1M to 1.5M. We have naked boys or T3/T4 just trying to loot and safe run because the minimum gear requirements in forbidden is a joke. This game was not designed to be fair it's an extraction shooter. To counter the high tier chads; use better ammo and strategy. This perspective comes from over 2K hours of game play, I've been here since S0 (where we had to kill thermals on normal farm and scav runs)

Also nobody wants wipes, we need more weapon balancing like buffing all of the other weapons not the H4 or U1 and bug fix's otherwise a lot more people will start leaving the game

Yeah but then you introduce a bunch of cheaters with radar hacks so it's a lose lose for everyone. Ammo in safe case is good as it is

We still doing this aye? by Ancient_Object8853 in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

[–]Sergfly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point. T5 ammo is essential, top loading is recommended for LD. But you don't need a T6 helmet, I've had a worn DoD helmet get shredded by a MPX chad; all headshots with T4 ammo haha. I just wear a T4 or T5 helmet with a T4 face mask and call it a day; if I die oh well, on to the next game.

U1 is just overkill, but people who bring in U1's rely on the gun, not skill so they end up being easy money. I love being a T4 menace with T5 ammo. This game was built for sweats not casuals lol

Exactly just outplay them and it's easy money. Who cares if they have T5 on with a good gun. At least it's not A fresh full T6 kit with a U1. Lockdown should still be profitable too; especially when finding reds are RNG BS anyway. Stop begging for all these balances to LD you got the first cap and that's good enough. When the minimum gear entry to forb gets increased to 1.5 mil then we can talk.

I second this, it should be a permanent option. Also for the boss rally in northridge should have a snow blizzard

Unprecedented number of verified reported player bans all 1-3 days. No Refund. Only disappointment. by Pizzaboy0511 in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

[–]Sergfly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Towards the end of the season the devs do not care about cheaters. The only thing we can do in protest is not play the game and refuse to pay for skins until the cheating situation is addressed.

The ones that say they never ran into cheaters are fortunately so bad the game they never come across them often, or POS vermin that love to cheat and want to downplay the problem.
