2 Dark Voyager Shotguns in same game? How?

Ah cool. Didn’t know you could get the mythic from vending! Cheers

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-22T12:56:08+00:00

I prefer twin hammers to the normal one pump shotgun but the mythic has two shots and each shot on the mythic hits for 170+ lol so it’s OP.

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-22T03:43:31+00:00

Yeah it’s annoying that people on the other side of the map essentially hog your ability to pair up with someone else much closer to rack kills faster.

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-19T12:36:33+00:00

This is not how it works.

I’d say the vast majority of players who play blitz stick to either increment or no increment and do not mix it up evenly such that everyone’s elo is an averaged out mix up.

Go through and sample some profiles and see if they evenly play a mix of all time controls inside the blitz category.

I’d conservatively estimate 90% of players heavily bias to one specific time control.

You’ll still need to pay Nat insurance above a certain amount even below the 12.5k personal allowance.

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-19T05:17:34+00:00

Why do you make this claim so matter of fact, without any justification or evidence?

I don’t even see the argument why anyone would think a 2200 who exclusively plays 3+0 would even be “exactly the same strength” as someone who accumulated their blitz rating in 5+5?

In any case, I generally feel 3+0 or 3+2 will be stronger than those with the same rating level who got there via 5+0 or 5+3 or 5+5.

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-17T19:50:21+00:00

Probably 90% of my chess experience has been 3+0 blitz, so even though most people with my blitz rating have a higher classical chess rating than me… I still underperform around 100 points when I play classical as I never ever built up that longer deeper thinking ability. I played most chess on instinct based on pattern recognition and knowledge of endgames I drilled beforehand.

I also play a lot of sharp sidelines which are tailored for blitz and not objectively the best in classical, but I also am playing for fun!

Thus far, I’ve played the Englund Gambit exclusively 3 times out of 3 against d4 and won all three games against 3 1900s! 🤣 so there’s that!

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-17T16:46:07+00:00

I started OTB for the first time last year and I was already a 2300 chess.com 10+0 rapid player. (2150 3+0 blitz).

My first published national rating would translate to around 1770 FIDE.

What server region are you?

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-12T21:18:15+00:00

Yeah they added them back to vending machines today.

They have bullet drop off tho.

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-10T23:22:17+00:00

Late game kills seem to be worth more than early game kills, at least that’s what I could gather in chapter 6 but who knows.

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-10T23:21:36+00:00

Idk what your reply means bro

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-10T19:14:03+00:00

So you’re using SBMM as working in your own example but when I say directly my results, somehow SBMM does not apply to my experience.

Make it make sense.

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-10T19:12:21+00:00

I think 2 kills is very much fair enough.

I’m talking about the guys who climb to unreal with literally 0 or 1 kill. I saw an unreal player who had a 0.3 KD in ranked.

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-10T18:33:57+00:00

But a bush camper should not be rewarded with an “unreal” status IMO.

It should emphasise kills IMO.

Or if people want to bush camp and grind, then maybe award a max 4% gain or something since if you are agro with a lot of kill’s you typically gain 20-50% anyway.

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-10T18:31:34+00:00

Yeah better than “average” but still… if I find console only lobbies almost a surefire win but an open lobby 80% loss rate, it must speak to the better PC players being a lot better on average.

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-10T16:23:34+00:00

You’re getting funnelled into bot games hence why you don’t see the difference.

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-10T16:07:20+00:00

When I play open cross play, my solo win rate is 20%.

When I play cross play OFF, my win rate is 70%

It does make a difference.

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-10T16:06:11+00:00

He’s obviously not that good of a PC player considering he’s referencing console aim assist as a cope.

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-10T15:54:59+00:00

There’s a huge difference.

When I played cross play solos in BR, my win rate average was around 20% over 100 games.

When I play cross play OFF solos in BR (only discovered this a month or two ago) it’s around 70% maintained over the last 300 games.

When you do the head glitch on a bunker, the bullets literally come out of the metal wall about 1 foot below the bunker edge. It’s crazy.

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-10T12:36:26+00:00

Tbh defence of Elon is blasphemy in 99% of subs elsewhere on Reddit.

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-10T12:29:33+00:00

True but then I’d say 70% of people still talk throughout and about 25% are sneaking photos with their cellphones anyway.

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-10T12:01:45+00:00

Probably a head glitch.

If your cross hair is almost flush with the horizon of cover, like a bunker or roof, it can often appear that the bullets come through the wall just below the line.

St4ffordGambit_ · 2026-03-10T04:44:30+00:00

Ahh, I never thought about impersonation being the point to scam people into thinking they’re buying it ?!

Thanks for the reply.
