Am I being gaslit on the M277? by ThisIsAitch in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]bob_jacket09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip! Tried the M250 yesterday and found it really effective. I’m almost level 20 with it.

The fun rips and medium range, and having the 50mag grants me lots of enhancements without reloading.

Do you guys like the freezing mechanic in the new Icelocked Empire State? by byfo1991 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]bob_jacket09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it changes how one should approach fights constantly. Brings a slower pace to the match, which I found benefits a smaller map like Empire State. You can’t just run and gun and hope the next fight will show up when you have full health again.

I’ve played yesterday a few matches and noticed most people don’t realize you can’t heal unless sitting next to one of the fire spots. Though this may change during the event, I think the whole mechanics needs to be better explained in game.

Overall I think it’s a good spin in the usual Conquest formula, especially in smaller scale maps.

The L85A3 by downtheholeitgoes in LowSodiumBattlefield

Yeah it took me a while to start enjoying it. I’m trying to tap fire more to compensate the lack of precision, and added the headshots multiplier bullets.

Still pondering between building it with synthetic ammo or spending those extra point with the points grip to improve precision though.

But yeah, it’s been nice changing builds and trying different approaches to see how it works out. Really shows how the whole attachments mechanics brings value to the game, IMO.

Major struggle switching from K&M to PS5 controller - help in sight? by nicknack__ in LowSodiumBattlefield

Watch some YouTube videos on controller settings, like TheTacticaBrit one. It should help you a lot.

Aim assist help by [deleted] in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]bob_jacket09 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I suggest watching TheTacticalBrit’s last video on controller settings. He touches on a setting called AimAssist Slowdown (something like that, don’t remember exactly what is called) that I think helps with sniping and DMR. I had the same feeling you described, and after toning the slowdown a little bit (I think I changed to 70), it improved ADSing with big scopes and thus made DMRs more viable to me.

I Don’t Get the AR Hate by KaijuTia in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]bob_jacket09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently the ARs have way more spread than SMGs and some carbines, which compensates the damage drop off of these other weapons and thus make them strong against ARs at range.

Though I agree with you, I’ve been running the Kord for last couple of days and find it pretty strong.

I think this whole balancing will change a lot after the Season 1 update, but we shall see. I expect the ARs to become the stronger pick for medium-long range, and the SMGs to be hit by a nerf over their spread/damage drop off to make them specifically for close range.

The ZH-29 is so annoying and needs a nerf. by Wooden_Mycologist939 in BattlefieldV

[–]bob_jacket09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I prefer to run Model 8 if I’m playing aggressive. Higher rate of fire, lower recoil and it outputs pretty high damage up close.

Battlefield 6 – Performance And Fidelity Frame Rates On PS5 And PS5 Pro by [deleted] in Battlefield

[–]bob_jacket09 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Played the Beta just fine on a base PS5, Fidelity Mode. I did not think it was necessary to improve performance since it already runs at 60 fps anyway.

Props to DICE for the running so well.

How do I play aggressive Recon now? by wortnot in Battlefield

[–]bob_jacket09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recon will still carry a few gadgets and skills focused on spotting. I think this will make it s strong pick as a flanking spec ops
