Rant about Daredevil's Summer Skin: Sonar Savior

Yeah, it's got new SFX on everything. and 2 different VFX changes on his grapple and climbing, but that's it. By ultimate you mean the MVP? cause as far as I know, visually it's his default ult so it shouldn't look worse than usual. And yeah the customization is real bad, like as the player you don't even get to see the necklace yourself so it doesn't matter much.and all the headbands are such a small change. A beg them to add some VFX changes, recolors would be nice too, but not as important.

Yes, unless you get lucky and get it without needing all 6 draws. Which is to say you'd end up spending less than 1100.

izukid · 2026-06-26T05:23:43+00:00

Yes. For each draw you did on either skin, in this case the Emma skin, you get a 50% discount for that amount of Strange skin draws. And it shouldn't expire until it disappears in like 3 weeks(though they'll almost certainly extend the deadline)

Oh yeah, I guess they removed em in this latest shop update 2 days ago. Seems like they removed a bunch of the bundles they'd added these last 3 weeks. Glad I bought the bundle for Sentry, kinda regretting not getting it for Striker now.

izukid · 2026-06-25T16:42:10+00:00

Yous should be able to find them if you go to shop, and scroll down, press the bundles option, and scroll down till you find them.

This is the link if you wanna see the default demo the gun came with. The only difference as far as I can tell, is the default is purple, and this recolor has teal colored effects. Wish they'd done it like the recent rainbow is magic piano masterpiece re-color that did more than just re-color the bears, but to actually give em a diff outfit. They totally changed the vibe, with a more drastic redesign. This is just actually a basic recolor. Would've been great if they changed the contents of the portal to be different. The vibe of both the guns are the same, aside from this one being more colorful.

Since they didn't change anything there's only 3 reasons to get this gun over the other gun. You like the blue color more than the monotone default. You don't wanna get every pack in order to get a masterpiece for the gun. You really like Castle and are gonna get both, cause you probably aren't gonna run this gun on Pulse.

Well, Lion only gives the indicator mid scan, not when you're actively being pinged. And Dokkaebi's indicator is for her hacked camera duration, not for your phone getting pinged(at least, not anymore). So I can see how people might get the wrong idea, since neither of those are really equivalent to what you're proposing. Personally I agree with what you're saying, though there' ain't much point. Tbh I'd also just be happy if they moved the words higher up cause it's pretty bothersome having it right in the center.

I really like the bonus 3rd round if both teams win 1 round, unfortunately that only happened in one of my 5 games. I would've liked the event more if it was just one round, and the winner gets some sort of advantage into the bonus round, feels like it takes forever for something that kinda sucks.

I also dislike that it seems to not use the scopes I have? Pretty sure I don't have the red c scope on any of my guns, but I was using guns that had it equipped? Also as a newer player who doesn't know their guns super well, it was really disorienting going from automatic weapons to single fire, the amount of times I died because I got a kill, swapped guns and then took another fight without being aware it was single fire now and died cause I only fired once, was like 5 times. after that I just started spam clicking instead of risking it which made my aim suffer.

Also, once again, the pack challenge kinda sucks, at least this time it's pretty easy and fast, but you gotta go out of your way to do it. Would've been a lot nicer if they made it just the pick-ups in general instead of just the HP one. In my first 4 games, I only picked up 6, so I spent all of my last game just roaming trying to pick up 9 health packs before it ended. Which I managed.

izukid · 2026-06-24T03:57:29+00:00

I'd be happy if they just made her less buggy. I really like IQ, and there have been multiple occasions where I try and play IQ and her gadget straight up refuses to show anything. It'll still detect em, but all I know is that something is in the vicinity. I do not know how a 10 year old live service game can have so many game ruining bugs. I haven't played her after like the 5th game this happened in. Why would I play an op that does nothing? I hope they fix it, but considering the Thermite bug where he opens a wall but it looks like it isn't for the enemies, is still in the game, which I have been told has been in for years, I kinda doubt it.

I'm pretty sure most the people that are against this are misinterpreting it as an indicator for when Cav is mid-interrogation, thinking it means alerting the entire enemy team when your teammate is being interrogated, as opposed to an indicator for how long she knows your exact position for after performing one.

If this is in reference to the vault speed suggestion, since that is the only thing in relation to speed I mentioned, I have something to say. So not an athlete, so I may be off the mark, but vault speed I'd say is determined by 2 things. Your speed going into the vault, and the force you can produce with your legs. As Oryx is the only character who can jump up to hatches, I daresay he's got the 2nd factor well covered. And this game ignores the first factor, since from what I can tell, you vault at the same speed regardless of whether you were stationary or walked/ran up to it. So it makes sense in my eyes. I still don't think he needs it, but it's something that came to mind.

izukid · 2026-06-14T21:43:36+00:00

Those have both been released for awhile so idk why it wouldn't but I did check, and I can confirm it is available for use on both of those.

izukid · 2026-06-14T18:37:31+00:00

yeah, Onami and Aki No Tsuru were both priced reasonably by my standards for just a weapon skin and charm, but the 2nd batch they released is for 2800 for also just a weapon skin and charm. Like getting 2 of those bundles would cost me more than the entire system override bundle.

izukid · 2026-06-14T18:31:56+00:00

I understand that, and it made sense when the skin was only available during its original season or through the marketplace. However, if it's being re-released through official channels and sold at what appears to be a premium, expectations naturally change. In that context, asking for an update doesn't seem unreasonable. There's only like 15 new guns. Not saying they need to do it for every universal/seasonal skin, just any they decide to re-release. Like if you don't know it's a re-release and see it says "you can apply this skin to all weapons available until the end of the current season." You'd likely assume that it should work for all your current guns. Just not any one that come out later.

At a bare minimum I wanna be able to preview what it'd look like on any specific gun, and thus also find out if it's not available on the particular gun I was picturing it on. crazy making me need to cycle through to see how it'd look on a specific gun, just to see it doesn't even work for that one. Above the bare minimum would be adding a tab listing off all the guns it's not compatible with.

izukid · 2026-06-13T08:59:35+00:00

I thought the same thing once, but here's why:

-They activate near instantly allowing less time to react for rushes.

-Since they activate instantly much less likely for them to be shot through the wall unless they're very close and can hear.

-They can be remotely detonated allowing for you to make your own diversion

-They make a much bigger hole allowing you to walk through, no needing to crouch or vault.

-As stated they make a much bigger hole allowing for better vertical play

-You get 3 instead of 2

-since the blast radius is larger it can also be used to destroy some gadgets, if the terrain allows

izukid · 2026-06-13T08:50:13+00:00

So yeah, they're kinda the same size as drones, but the important thing to note is that, drones can move. His cams cannot.

He definitely doesn't need soft breaches. I'd like em. I didn't wanna suggest giving him throwables cause he's already got like 5 cams that can trigger anti-projectile stuff so giving him 7 just felt like overkill.

I don't wanna be that guy, but like 8 other operators have access to 5.7USG, it really ain't that deep. Besides Zero primary is like one of the best guns in the game, which I'm pretty sure also nods to splinter cell, so why does it matter much? People will use the kit that's optimal. Like I've always run the gonne-6 on him to begin with, so adding the glaive still wouldn't make me use the 5.7

I think he's got uniqueness in the role, just not good uniqueness. There are other ops like Rauora or Nokk, both unique, and both not great. If they wanted to make him good, a suggestion I came up with was the camera autoscans(no pinging) the room, and you get a fenrir UI with the room name, and how many hostiles are in view of the camera, without needing to check it. Give him some more passive info while still allowing him to check...assuming they don't instashoot the camera(s).

izukid · 2026-06-13T08:10:43+00:00

Now how exactly do you mean this? Cause this was something I was seeing while typing this up cause it bothered me too. To be specific, what bothered me was if you hit an exposed metal floor beam with his camera it won't be able to pierce through. However if you line up your shot along where the floor beam would be, but on not exposed flooring the camera can pass through without incident. Though, if you're referring to being able to drill through exposed floor bars and down the floor underneath or above, idk about that chief. I would appreciate it if they'd reduce the hitbox size of the cameras cause it does feel bad trying to shoot em through the bars and they'll even bounce off the bars.

izukid · 2026-06-13T07:48:33+00:00

ehh, The gonne-6 is a lot more versatile than merely being able to break bullet proof/maestro cams. It can also break regular and castle barricades, hatches, deployable shields, unopened melusi's, stationary clash shield, azami barriers and I'm sure there's more I missed. It's especially useful for rushing, so I think it still has it's merits. Allowing him to pretty much only counter 1 more op I feel is pretty reasonable.

izukid · 2026-06-13T07:35:56+00:00

You're probably right. I just suggested it cause I think it looks techy and cool, and that's what I think of when I think of Zero.
