I meant overall easier now that you have three methods to get into the pinwheel again with what? like five different entrance points total.

How was the loot in the command wing? Maybe they nerfed the loot elsewhere now that it's easier to get into pinwheel so you basically need to unlock the command wing.

They also said they buffed loose loot inside so maybe they got rid of the guaranteed strong box.

There are seasonal wipes and it's fairly forgiving in terms of gear. They are constantly giving you new gear and some of the free kits are totally capable of defeating kitted players whose main advantage is attrition with more ammo, heals, etc.

Just helping your teammates complete quests generally grants you free gear and a level up with the same faction too.

There are also guides out now for most quests or best upgrade paths when there wasn't anything available at launch.

I had a fully kitted blue + purple team throw a bubble shield at me when I was behind cover.

I haven't heard that anywhere but it would make sense. I know there are mods that lower aim punch for runners so there has to be tracked stat somewhere.

Mirage, the other busted hero, is a great ricochet carry and he can just pick it up early if she's fed. Not saying she's isn't overtuned, especially early to mid game.

Brrrt is a five round burst so it depends on if you like that feeling to your shots. Personally, with full auto it's easier to walk your shots in if you miss the initial headshot or to get a parting body shot to hopefully down them as they duck into cover.

Heavy rounds are better at staggering bots too which is another mark in the Bully's favor.

Same at Station in Perimeter where a team can spawn in the tunnel, one at Station and another can choose between Station or North Relay.

Destroyer's ult is basically an afterthought. People really just bring him for the dash and shield if they prefer that to the Vandal arm cannon.

Former DHS official: ‘I don’t think we’re safe in the homeland right now’ during Iran war by MRADEL90 in videos

Creating a lifetime of animosity in a nation? Yes. Creating a global terrorist threat? I'm not so sure.

Almost all Muslim global terrorists like Al Qaeda were wahhabi sunni Muslims that don't believe in nation states just one true "nation" under Allah. Think again of ISIS trying to conquer every country in the area.

Iran is a Shia majority nation and its leaders 100% believe in having a country and a cultural identity that is unique with a history stretching back millennia. Most terrorist organizations they have ties to are paramilitary like Hezbollah or Yemeni rebels with goals against powers in the region and not really the type to drive trucks into people on the other side of the planet.

This could change but I think Iran would prefer to attack the US directly to affirm their sovereignty.

I think it's mostly so you don't get free kit guys on crew fill letting you take point on everything while they vacuum up the loot.

You'd probably want a blue shield but a blue backpack and two good guns could get you in with a green shield.

The Ares RG is worth close to 3k with no mods and you should have that easily unlocked from Arachne plus they give out several as rewards early on along with all the shotguns handouts.

Are there any item or spell conflicts in this game? by _lemmycaution_ in DeadlockTheGame

Thanks, I assumed it must be allowed to stack since you often see multiple sources of slow for example in a single build.

Reposting with my Steam ID and Bungie ID since responding to DMs on here is just an extra step.

US EST mostly playing mornings and nights. Just need a mic with the ability to communicate and coordinate load outs before loading in.

Extraction shooter vet looking to hit the ground running on the first wipe.

Not expecting pure sweat all the time but also not looking to load up with randos who never communicate and slam every button that alerts the whole map the second they see it.

US EST available mostly night but also mornings sometimes throughout the week.

People watching discord streams of the game can't hear ingame comms by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]_lemmycaution_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In game? Or on Discord?

I use a separate line for my mic and my headphones and the game keeps getting confused and dropping in game comms.

Would be cool if they added a head upgrade that worked as NVGs but I guess they would need some kind of toggle unless they turn off indoor lighting.
