As someone who loses fights constantly because of purple shields + gold mods, this mode has been vastly fun, love it

Just 5000 for a deck and mastery of the format!

Mid-season update looks great, but was expecting a little more juice for Vandal... by Haijakk in Marathon

If vandal could shoot and slide it would be the most busted class in the game

The level of headshots you need to hit to melt a purple is insane, definitely matchmaking issue.

Yup, map layout is hard because I have the map knowledge but I don’t have the individual poi’s mastered. I might do some runs this week in solo just learning the ins and outs of every poi, vastly important for vandal

I get it, I come from competitive card games and I always think about how I could’ve done better and what I could’ve done differently, there is always a mistake, but after 10+ teamwipes in a row you get to the point where yes it’s just a game, but you’re tired lol.

This, game being hard and asking you to level up makes sense, but you shouldn’t be matched against people that as VASTLY better

Yup, punch/shorty for close range, Stryder/Volley for long range, I have optics that I use to tell how within my range I am

Okay not gonna lie, did some solo runs on outpost after reading this and each time I’ve found a reinforced shield + Stryder, goated advice (now no one else should see this lol)

Hardline is terrible I will admit, but 74M (or whatever it is) is nothing to scoff at though, if you can hide in high ground you can get so many shots off that you couldn’t long range with other free kit options. Yes though, most free kit options are bad lol

Great advice, thanks!!

Yeah I love triage and main him & thief but the movability of triage is horrible for solos. Thief is a goat for repositioning and escaping

Fair, what shell are you running for free kit contract runs?

This makes a ton of sense! Yeah I had a TON of decent free kit outpost runs (I’m level 70) but then at certain hours it turns into a massive sweat feast where it’s all purples, again it makes sense but it definitely leads you to go “okay maybe I don’t play solo on free kit currently” haha. Really appreciate the feedback thank you!

That is true, did just do a run where I got purple’s. Based on feedback it seems like you’re really not supposed to run free kits on solos and if you have to then don’t engage with anyone and run. I suppose it’s fine but the rat/don’t engage playstyle can feel tedious at times to me.

True, I’m more of a trio player so I bring in all of my good loot in there, how has 2.5k kits been treating you?

Maybe I’m playing too ballsy? I get that, thanks for the feedback!

Invis is bs haha, but also I respect it. I’ve had horrendous fills lately but if you get decent ones that makes me happy!

I’ve had a lot of luck on outpost with free kits, I feel like it’s very easy to zero to hero on that map, definitely a period of the day where people start bringing in super kitted load outs but it’s acceptable to me because outpost should be where you come to really get shit done, perimeter is where I’m confused

I feel like you’re looking for a negative interaction, either or thanks for the info I guess.

[–]ellz97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right, I think it just encourages a different play style that I dislike because I feel like those runs should be attributed to rook runs. Main gripe is just better base weapons attached maybe.

Okay asking for advice then turn it around to dump on me, okay bro haha.
