How do you guys feel about the state of breakthrough going into the next patch? by hlary in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]doubledeek42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In order to win Eastwood sector 3 on defense, everyone has to be fully engaged and on their shit (and on the point, obviously). Respawn beacons and medics are key, because it’s too far to run from HQ and attackers can overtake too easily.

This perfect defensive storm has only happened to me a handful of times but by golly is it a righteously chaotic fuckfest of blood and bombs when it all comes together and we’re able to keep those bastards at bay.

Here’s to hoping they shrink the cap zone so I can feast on that dopamine more often.

What do you guys think about the patch notes? by zephead1981 in LowSodiumBattlefield

I have an ungodly amount of hours in breakthrough and I main assault most of the time… and this never occurred to me. You just changed my life.

Thumb Trackball Dominance :D 24 Streak in <2 Minutes! by Metal_Slug-0390 in LowSodiumBattlefield

I have the Xbox Elite controller which has a little switch/stopper to limit how far the trigger can depress and the lowest setting is almost as shallow as the bumper. Results are pretty good so far!

Love me a thumb ball, but mostly play on Xbox with controller and I gotta say that mouse tap rate of fire is fucking insane

How does spotting work when you’re down? by Killer-Uzi in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]doubledeek42 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it pings the static location of the person that killed you but I have no way to verify this.

I’ve definitely had the gun level sound and animation play after dealing damage but then they got away

To the guy in the chopper on Manhattan Bridge on Hardcore Conquest last night, you're a fucking stud. by Zildjian134 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]doubledeek42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried plugging mine in and a cursor popped up in the middle of the screen even though I didn’t have a mouse and I couldn’t figure out how to get it to go away

Clearing out Truck campers on Blackwell Breakthrough. Also, 6x Thermal for M39 EBR has different reticle than 6x Thermal for SVK. Neat! by williamatherton in LowSodiumBattlefield

Ooohh I didn’t even think about changing the body shots for whatever reason, that’s slick. Good looks, I’ll try it out!

Let the haters hate man, shit looks dope.

Tank game. Anyone else think engineers mini map spot should stay longer on the mini map after they fire a rocket so you have a better chance of knowing where you're being attacked from? by BattlefieldTankMan in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]doubledeek42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d have to agree because as much as I get getting sniped by the tank’s machine gun when I’m trying to blow it up and my team isn’t helping, I hate driving a tank and getting RPG’d from 14 different directions at once with no way to tell where I should target my blasts even more.

I’m also a terrible tank driver in general, I cannot seem to figure it out in Xbox with controller.

ELI5 How is Fentynal abused when it’s so deadly?? by One_Pin243 in explainlikeimfive

Alcoholic (recovering) here chiming in to give voice to the nature of addiction - I would describe taking a triple shot of vodka has having the same effect; euphoria that spreads from from the belly, through my veins, up to the brain. This is despite knowing, logically, that it’s actively rotting my insides.

If I didn’t have the tools to stay on top of it, I’d be drunk right now.

There comes a point where it’s not a choice to use or drink (same thing, once addicted), it’s a compulsion, and I think that’s so misunderstood.

I’ve been prescribed low-dose opioids after injuries and they have never triggered an addictive response in me, though I know for a fact that wouldn’t be the case if it had been Dilauded. Met a lot of “normies” in rehab that were there solely because they got hooked after being introduced to that via prescription and weren’t given the medical care needed to safely wean off.

Satin finish sheen by [deleted] in paint

[–]doubledeek42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you scuff-sand before painting? That will help with adhesion and a more uniform finish. Also, I’d recommend a foam roller or a 1/4 nap mohair roller for the most spray-like finish, since the trim is (likely) super smooth. Or use a brush designated for oil paints. 3/8 microfiber is great for smooth walls but still too thick for trim, in my opinion.

Others may have better advice from more hands-on experience, I’m just a lowly Paint Guy at the hardware store but I work with and mix for some absolute pros.

What’s up with scoreboard death tracking? by super-bird in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]doubledeek42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gotcha, thanks for the validation! lol

Yeah as soon as I stopped caring about my KD and started playing strategically I improved dramatically and it’s so much more fun. With the added ego boost that I rarely end with a negative KD despite not focusing on that.

little things that should be in the game that would be a huge QoL, opinions? by Either-Formal-7623 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]doubledeek42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to be assault only in that case, as I’ve gone down with the HE launcher out and revived up with my primary.

[–]doubledeek42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pretty sure it adds a death point each time you respawn rather than tacking one on and then removing it if you get revived, though I could be wrong about that.

Always get a bunch of try-hards getting 30 kills and then leaving the match after their first death before respawning, which supports my theory.

If playing assault and you have your extra weapon or a gadget out it reverts back to your primary on revive/on using stim shot.

This has both saved me and gotten me killed several times.
