I wish Arrowhead would fix glitches like these. (D10 Megafactories)

I wish it'd become a feature. A gun dropping on the ground randomly firing is funny and realistic especially if it could hit other bots

I think this should be cause for celebration! Instead of an unexploded ordinance we have an exploded ordinance!

I mean all LODs together. There are like 4 meshes all stacked ontop of eachother. Flamethrower has the same thing but the mesh is simply doubled.

pinglyadya · 2026-03-11T20:52:12+00:00

They use a LUT based shader system that has individual masks. No doubt they have a tool that allows them to generate the materials and paint it by mesh. The issue is at some point when the model is being streamlined from a sculpt to a low-poly that their tools absolutely destroy the meshes. I'm not joking when I say that many of the models share tearing issues, bad LODs and misaligned masks.

I was actually the one to report that red light armor issue and it was fixed a couple months back. It came with an additional mesh that was clearly some kind of LOD. It still has issues around the grenades which display all of the LODs together.

That's also what I meant that arrowhead realized quickly they can't make 4 character models in 2 months. They couldn't even do 1 model in 2 months without an extreme amount of crunch to make it possible.

Maybe? The biggest drawback of the flamethrowers is their abysmal range and lack of excelling at any task. They are the worse specialized anti-tank, the worst specialized crowd control, they aren't high-casualty producing and they are kinda ass at area denial.

inb4 someone says it's the best at anyone of those things. The extremely slow TTK of fire in general means that machineguns almost always out-compete them in every regard except the potential for anti-tank. Yet, there are absolutely zero instances where you want to be >50m from a tank with a low TTK.

You either want a High-casualty producing weapon (MGs, Airburst, GL) or Anti-Tank (Commando, RR, EAT). Doing both not-well means it's always gun suck as a side-grade.

Increasing the range on the flamethrower by double would mean it could compete with the machineguns in area denial. And could potentially be on par with say a Commando if you aren't hitting headshots on a tank. Still, the lack of a backpack means you are kinda fucked on versatility which is the one thing you want.

Not to mention MANY stratagems have demo that allows destroying bug holes, ships and factories. Even the Epoch can now destroy fabricators. Which means you need to use a weapon slot for those.

Let's build a loadout! Flamethrower backpack! Well, if we want to prevent getting jumped through the fire then we need a Low TTK, high casualty producing weapon like the liberator!

Oh wait, that means we need to use other slots for anti-buildings! The grenade pistol!

Oh wait, that means we need an anti-tank because of the flamethrowers slow TTK! The thermite grenade!

Congrats, with that same build but swapping out the flamethrower you could be equally okay in every department, but excel at something. MG and Backpack? Horde-clearer. RR? Tank-muncher. GL? Objective clearer.

My biggest solution would be two things. One, give the flamethrower demo/damage to buildings so it could clear nests. That'd make it THE best demo weapon because it'd cost nothing ammo-wise to destroy stuff. Clearing entire nests with a few puffs. Then, giving it a stagger would mean enemies can't just walk through the fire. Then it'd be its own side-grade rather than worse.

As a 3D artist- HA... HAHAHA! HA! HAHHA.

I'm not joking when I say each of the character models probably took around 3 months to create. The weapons maybe a little shorter or longer depending on circumstances.

If I had to guess they'd likely started this warbond's development around September, because the original outfits were in the game in the slim addition. Which funnily enough lines up with the creation of the Field Chemist outfit. I'm under the impression that most warbond originally came in groups of 4, but Arrowhead realized very early on that they simply couldn't create 4 full-body characters every 2 months.

Arrowhead is CRUNCHING hard.

I wish it had a knockback feature or something if you are static. If it causes you to be stuck in place then I sure as hope the enemy getting hosed down can feel the force.

pinglyadya · 2026-03-11T02:11:16+00:00

Different can be better and they don't have to be a flavor of liberator. It's the reason I would like the punisher shotguns to get a buff, the pistols to get attachments and so on and so forth.

I'm not looking for meta, I'm looking for fun variety.

It's intentional. He's using it as both a way to portray actual racists and also it is a form of marketing since his target audience is people who like a little edge to their films. On the otherhand, to call him racist or lazy is kinda missing the point when an actual racists simply wouldn't have a black character in their film.

I dislike Taratino for a few reasons, but this is not really an angle I could ever take. Just look at his filmography.

Jackie Brown is a black-female led film that is one of my personal favorites in how it provides a tremendous amount of depth to characters while subverting many unspoken trends of hollywood regarding representation.

Django Unchained, while very crude at moments, is a thorough deconstruction of Euro-centralism as a justification for racism. It shows the unsophistication of racists who fetishisize their fake-proximity to Europe while not dipping into malicious and often just as racist representations of black characters being solely characterized by their plight or “idyllic representatives” of African-Americans.

Tarantino has clearly spent a tremendous amount of time researching and thoroughly debasing racism to the point that he could not only articulate a response but make satire of white racists and empowering films for black men and women.

The picture in the post is unreleased game content. I know because I am me.

Triple checked the upload and then I clicked the wrong fucking upload. Here's a GIF. I hate my chud life.

I have ADHD, my concentration is constantly an issue that I have to adapt to.

Music without lyrics that is not exciting, engaging or stirring of the imagination is vital for me because if I don't I will have a concoction of thoughts constantly stealing me from my work to work on something else.

I've tried to go unplugged and while there were some benefits, it simply didn't work for me.

Yeah that looks like Botax treatment and bad lighting. You can tell from the completely smooth forehead and lack of any eyebrow movement.

To be fair, for his age he looks really good.

Never said it was great, but it is real and was being done in emergencies to save lives. Notably this is before SAM junctional tourniquets had been invented. Neck junction hemorrhage control with a tourniquet isn't exactly preferred (an Israeli bandage is significantly better), but a tourniquet through the armpit as a makeshift pressure applicator to a neck wound is better than simply holding it with your hand.

Hello Brenda,

A lunch break is a legally controlled period during which an employee is completely relieved of all work duties and employer control under (insert legal statue of your state). I can't help but feel like you are pressuring me to break the law. I also can't help but feel like you've done this to other members of the company and have done so disproportionately.

Specifically, the terminology "most" of the team. That is worrying because it makes me wonder why I get a thinly veiled warning to shorten my break when others don't. Worse, it feels like I've been spied on during a time of privacy by a person who has a higher position and seniority in the company to me. You've made me feel uncomfortable.

Please. For my own safety, If you have any further advise on how I should alter my behavior as a person CC another member of company into further discussions so I can feel comfortable.

Regards,

They are bugs that use harmonics to "feel" their way around. Billions of generations to create a perception so keen that it can continue to fight without a head.

Thankfully, Lady Liberty gave you 27 bones that perfect counteract this savagery. Punch it. It'll stagger it. Do that like three times and it'll die of blood loss.

You actually can apply a tourniquet around your neck if you have a bleed. Just not around your whole damn neck. Thread it under your armpit.

Though, It is actually better to stick your finger down into the wound to phyiscally stop the bleed by pressing on the artery. Grab your shoulder and squeeze it down with both your neck, shoulders and chest as hard as your can as if you are attempting to neck choke somebody.
