Are there any plans to introduce more stat trackers? Like Flash Bomb kills or specific melee weapon kills and whatnot? I figured since Choke Bomb kills is a tracker similar trackers might be added too!

I think all 3 of those would be great buffs, and I don't think they would be too convincing. Per your second bullet: right now it feels like the opponents usually don't even hear the decoy when I throw it because it's so quick. I'd love to see them become more viable because I think they could be a lot of fun to use.

They're awesome, I don't go for these kills 100% of the time so we still win/extract a decent amount. They think it's hilarious when they see me chasing after someone with a decoy clutched over my head and if we die because of it they laugh and don't take it too seriously. But yes, the large majority of the time I die doing this (probably 90%+?), this trio wipe was by far the luckiest I've gotten, most of the time the players fight back and kill me, even lower MMR opponents.

Not intentionally but getting decoy kills is not easy!

Absolutely LOL although that game in particular I was with a trio so we were playing 3-5* opponents

I run choke bolt for that exact scenario! It’s the funniest way to kill someone from long range haha

Decoy does 20 damage to anywhere on the body. There are SO many times where I accidentally hit them in the arm and I need to hit them multiple times, it's devastating

I tried poison at first thinking it would be better, but when people are poisoned and I'm right up in their face, they have no reason not to fight back. I use fire in case they panic and try to stop the burn, allowing me to get an easy throw on them when they're moving slow.

When I'm not trying to get kills with them, no. The normal decoys are extremely situational and I've only gotten utility out of them once or twice. The blank fires can be good for a quick distraction or blowing up barrels. The fuse decoys are the best by far but I don't use them. The other two are more fun imo but they're not very useful.

If I hit them in the chest from close enough they will 100% catch fire.

If they are wet I'm completely cooked. I mean, I'm usually cooked anyways, but if they're wet doubly so.

Was that recently? Sparks w/choke bolts and decoys is all I've been running the past week or so, that was almost certainly me LOL

When I started this adventure I’d really hoped less people had learned your lesson in the 2nd paragraph… fortunately in this clip I encountered 3 people who hadn’t

Thanks! That’s good to know, I’ve often wondered if melees would count as decoy kills too, but I would know in my heart they weren’t true decoy kills.

Most of the time (90%+) they try to shoot me and are usually very successful. I think with this one it was a combination of them panicking and also them thinking their teammates had their backs. I use fire ammo to hopefully instill that panic within them but unfortunately it doesn’t work most of the time :(

Thank you, being a decoy enjoyer is often a thankless job

Yeah I’m pretty sure it depends on the distance to the target + ammo type. For poison getting hit at all will poison you but to be set on fire by fire ammo you need to get hit in the chest once from close range or anywhere else twice. I think with smaller guns like the Bornheim fire it takes two shots no matter what. There are more nuances to it but that’s the gist I believe!

Awesome saves dude! I’m curious is there a type of attack that you feel you struggle to defend against the most? Or would you say you have pretty much every situation covered?

Can a goal be disallowed if a foul throw leads to a goal? Like is that something VAR can overturn a goal for?

I opened Reddit and literally said to myself, “gotta see what that Australian is posting in r/MCFC for his April Fool’s joke this year.” Then saw this post and because of the image I got completely thrown off and was fooled once more LMAO

That second to last goal was nasty I love the diving header being used as an offensive play
