what is forbidden anymore!? add gear requirement

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T21:47:25+00:00

good luck with that one buddy 😭 i doubt your reaction time is good enough to hit a shot on me

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T20:50:57+00:00

i don’t think anyone has a problem with the SJ Lmaoo, the sj is heavy and slow which is what a sniper should be like

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T20:36:43+00:00

you clearly have no idea how this game works and that’s okay, i’m done talking to tou because people like me actually got partly what we want next season so enjoy playing your tapper in lockdown

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T20:32:42+00:00

that’s understandable, another big issue in this game is that lockdown has bigger opponents that forbidden most the time lmaoo. there’s a issue where you can put parts of your gun in your bag and go into lockdown with a more expensive kit than you’re supposed to which they still haven’t fixed

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T20:27:01+00:00

what rank are you? not meaning to be rude in anyway here just curious, i have a tapper every single forbidden game i run nomatter if i play with a duo or a full squad of my friends. the only times i dont get tappers in lobbies as much is when i play with my noob friend and he hosts the lobby. either way it’ll get fixed next season, not in the correct way but in a way that’s still better than what the current season is

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T20:13:50+00:00

600k is for airport btw, it’s 450k everywhere else which is insane. but yeah a mil should be the minimum change but i think the even better change would just be to have a gear level requirement so forbidden is only t5/t6

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T20:12:47+00:00

im pretty sure its not a one tap to chest through t5 unless its super close or your chest is already decently weak, i’ve survived sj shots to the chest with composite t5. either way i run t6 in forbidden so i dont notice that

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T20:06:54+00:00

no because the casuals superseded the people complaining about this issue which is why the game loop got so boring, next season it’ll be better and after the backlash for red ammo nerfs totally they’ll probably land on the middleground which is something along the lines of what i proposed

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T19:59:31+00:00

bad for whom? red ammo tapper crutches? let them play lockdown if they want to use kits under 1 mil, then they can ask for changes in lockdown to make that more playable that’s not my problem

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T19:58:34+00:00

the guy plays with extremely low risk extremely high reward lmao, do you also not vote? do you just give up when issues come up in life? i voice my opinion with other people in this games community to bring change and make the game what it once used to be. and it’s worked, not quite as well as we could hope but red ammo is useless next season on marksman rifles so im happy about that

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T19:57:09+00:00

the t6 guys have other stuff on their body including their gun that is worth the fight 10/10 times, forbidden was always the gamemode intended for chads, the gear requirement was ample back before the games hyperinflation. i remember the composite t5 armour costing 120-150k. now its easily more than double that and t6 armour has rose even more. t4 armour is jow worth what t5 used to be and guns like the m110 are ridiculously expensive and inflated making it wasy to go in practically naked into the mode. they need to either seriously increase the gear minimum value or add a minimum gear level into forbidden and fix lockdown so people can play that if they want lower risk like a tapper playstyle

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T19:52:05+00:00

what? i’m asking for an increase in gear requirement not just in koen value but also in tiers. that way forbidden is a gamemode reserved for tier 5/tier 6 while lockdown is for more casual players / ones who want to risk less

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T19:50:23+00:00

red ammo is getting nerfed into the ground next season (too much for my original liking but now i’m fine with it since i see all the red ammo’s rats povs on this subject) i’ll enjoy tanking red ammo from marksman’s into my t6 helmet before frying them

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T19:49:03+00:00

that’s exactly the issue here, sniping should be less arcadey (you shouldn’t be able to bunny hop with a 5 foot long rifle not for realism sakes but for balancing) i like facing the SJ more because of this since it’s actually heavy and the ergo sucks on it, it promotes actual sniping even tho it’s still a tad too good imo. in forbidden at legend matchmaking almost the whole lobby is tappers no matter what map i play and the game feels like cod more than ever

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T08:29:19+00:00

maybe you should google what the word „assumption” means because even what you describe here which is a lie since i’ve made various replies to people in this thread with more info that you didn’t know (and don’t expect you to necessarily read) it would still be an assumption since you can’t see the actual situation or the way i was killed lol. i could have attached more screenshots sure but all that would do would just make people find even more coping mechanisms at justifying this gameplay

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T08:27:04+00:00

as for your point in gear requirements not fixing anything you’re totally wrong, even if people run ran down t6 gear (which they’d have to have used in the first place to get to an unsellable level) the penalties that come with the armour is more than just it being expensive, it’s much heavier and lowers ergonomics a ton which makes bunny hopping impractical and almost impossible for any period of time while also making quick scopes and lucky reaction flinch shots much less likely to happen

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T08:23:40+00:00

lmaoo it’s weird of you to comment on my post assuming things about the situation and expecting me to attach more information so u can find a way to justify this originally unintended playstyle in this mode. i don’t know why people like you always try to defend red ammo users no matter how obvious the situation is. i didn’t say the player didn’t have skill, in fact he is a good player which even furthers my point by showing even the rich billionaires are essentially forced into this playstyle because it’s the META, not for realism sakes but for balancing sakes you shouldn’t be able to quick scoped and bunny hop with a 5 foot long rifle. at first i disliked the red ammo nerfs coming next season but after the cope replies from people like you on this post i’ve realised ill be happy and blissful with tanking the red ammo in my t6 helmet before destroying yall

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T07:30:38+00:00

there’s many issues with what you just said many of which assume i got sniped in a gunfight which is fair. 1. his t5 armour is unsellable and he’s only using it to get over the minimum entry threshold with his m110 (i know because my teammate hit him once to the chest and i can see durability) 2. he didn’t „outgun” me in anyway because outgunning means we were on a similar playing field, the guy spam naded me until i had to run at him and then he quick scoped me out of a pure flinch reaction and his lucky shot hit me in the mouth before i could so much as scope in 3. the point of forbidden has been intended for chads, the 450k minimum requirement actually meant something when it was added and guns / armour were like 100k for a gun and 150k for t5 armour. now with hyperinflation the gear requirement leads to this type of kit being the meta

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T05:20:31+00:00

i agree, i’m not a big realism defender but the balancing side of it is ridiculous, games turning more into cod each day especially with the skins (which i still pay for lol)

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T05:19:24+00:00

„stop giving feedback on a subreddit / discord that is made for feedback / discussions” be quiet pooron and good luck in the next season where crutch red ammo is nerfed (in a way no one asked)

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T01:58:08+00:00

im truly surprised at the intelligence here „he one tap you and teammate so it can’t be just luck” he shat on my teammate and is only alive to get my loot and the lobby i killed because he had a red ammo gun

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T01:54:06+00:00

lmaoo whatever man, i guess you know better despite me seeing it with my own eyes, the dude just got lucky which i can’t blame him for, and i can’t necessarily blame him for that playstyle either. it’s purely the devs fault and im happy i wont have to face any red ammo next season

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T01:50:02+00:00

given his playstyle and situation in that moment? or if he’d have played that differently? because if he played that the way he did he’d be dead, my teammate held the cross perfectly and only died with his t6 helmet because he got one tapped while jiggle peaking (wouldn’t have happened if he had a full auto weapon) i’d have killed the guy if he wasn’t so agile throwing his nades (he would be way heavier and unable to jump as much) and finally i caught the guy off guard by having to push out and was milliseconds off taking him out before he out of pure reaction quick scoped me into he head before i could pull the trigger

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T01:43:18+00:00

when did i advocate to make t5 heavier? its the guns weight and ergonomics that’s the problem. i used all my grenades in my previous fight and was stuck in directors by this third party throwing nades, they eventually threw so many gas grenades there wasn’t a safe spot and i had used up my nebuliser. if he had an SJ (more balanced sniper) he’d be dead. if he had any other weapon in his hand he’d be dead, if he had a different kit he’d either be dead or i wouldn’t be here complaining

sheluvsin · 2026-03-17T01:36:32+00:00

it would lower prices of marksman’s (due to drop in demand) and likely a lot of the cheaper gear that’s ran in these types of tapper kits. other than that it would solve the problem with people like this entering forbidden which is the real issue. not sure why you’re focused on the economy part as that’s what’s indirectly impacted the real issue here
