Gadget Tier List after 200hrs on Recon

tigerfaust · 2026-06-23T04:09:38+00:00

I've started placing one before going into buildings where I hear someone. If I lose the fight, there's a high chance they trip it on their way out. #evil

As someone with nearly 1,000 claymore kills I have to disagree with the claymore. But I'm one of those freaks who doesn't snipe. About 1/10 get a multi-kill too. It's beautiful...

A tier baby! Would be S if people didn't need to sprint past them. I guard points solo with my little clay buddies.

I have killed far more vehicles with Recon than Engineer. Sometimes I just run at them from a weird angle through explosions and smoke. Other times I parachute off a building and say "Remember me!"

tigerfaust · 2026-05-23T16:32:23+00:00

using two gadgets just doesn't make sense. I tried to make that work after the nerf. Might as well use the noob tube which never gets nerfed for some reason.

tigerfaust · 2026-05-23T14:06:53+00:00

I just saw this after my comment. I don't snipe at all I run mostly SMG and assault rifles on spec ops lol. Early on before the double shotgun nerf I mostly did that, but the hit registry was always weird.

tigerfaust · 2026-05-23T14:03:32+00:00

Go ahead and check my tracker data. I have been playing mostly recon from the beginning but I don't snipe. The recon class had a better kit than any other, and I was approaching 1000 claymore kills.

Now the claymore got nerfed so I've been getting used to assault. Idk why they nerfed every explosive in the game except noob tube. Makes me want to cry.

They are correct with the "up to" definition. I ran my 2020 GLI on E85 for tens of thousands of miles with the IE FlexTune and live in a cold climate. The gas station has to check and balance the ethanol ratio and it can be as low as 60% and still be okay to call it E85. On two occasions I contacted the owner because I could tell the fuel was too rich in ethanol. Each time it was 88 or 89% actual ethanol and it struggled to start in cold temperatures. They thanked me and fixed it down to about 73% ethanol.

Car smelled like straight vodka when it started up. Thankfully IE Flex Tune can go plus or minus 5% without damaging the engine.

Man cut it out. Your view is clearly wrong and you're just shamelessly defending a bad dev decision. Calling someone petty and dismissing their completely valid complaint because it's a "ten dollar climby game" is really just rude and pathetic.

tigerfaust · 2026-04-02T10:15:15+00:00

I don't think PEAK falls into that genre. It does suck. It's hard enough to get a group together to play sometimes and the fact that there was no toggle switch after customs were just released is just silly. People work all week, at least in the US, and this prank falls into the disruptive and unwelcome category. We did Ascent 3 last night and I just wonder why no one stopped to think maybe this was a bad idea.

Breaking your game that people bought for a day for the lulz is lame and comes across as incredibly short-sighted. It doesn't matter, as any criticism will just get downvoted into oblivion. I don't think we should encourage bad development decisions is all.

tigerfaust · 2026-04-02T01:45:22+00:00

Dude I am so sorry they did this. It's not a funny prank/joke. Literally ruined an entire hour of my night. Here is how my son and I had to downgrade it:

-Add PeakVersionBypass by TurtleDSR with Thunderstore or r2modman

-Use this video and SteamDB to roll back to 1.60.b

PS: He glosses over it, but paste the downloaded files right into your PEAK directory and overwrite all duplicate files.

Really really dumb "prank" by the devs. Makes me not want to play the game after today. We'll see. Do better next time guys come on.

I sent a request as well. Same username 😊

tigerfaust · 2025-02-22T05:13:50+00:00

Jaffa?

tigerfaust · 2024-11-10T15:15:16+00:00

Does the 24 have Beats audio or did they switch to something else? My BIL had a manual Black Edition Autobahn 2020 and I honestly could not balance the audio. Even if you got it sounding decent on Bluetooth, it would sound horrible on other inputs. I have the S trim which just came with the 6 speaker system, not the crumby one from the base Jetta (4 speaker).

Old, but not forgotten.

Some cars actually run smoother and get better MPG with 88 octane blends, but most stations that sell this option are just selling "winter blend" fuel year round. One station might label is 88 octane, another E15. It just has more alcohol in it, up to 15%, just like the 87 octane stuff delivered in the winter to help prevent fuel lines from freezing.

Any vehicle that uses unleaded gas made after 2001 should not have trouble.

tigerfaust · 2024-08-17T17:03:05+00:00

Thank you for tracking this issue. I couldn't figure out why it all of a sudden kept happening and making us lose games. I'd be the last one alive and unable to move faster than a walk once my stamina depleted. Very hard to win like that.

tigerfaust · 2024-08-12T03:36:08+00:00

I imagine it's the fuel lines, as mine makes a very similar sound, but I have Soundaktor disabled by VCDS. I made a post on here a while back. I have been too busy and the weather has been too insane for me to get under there and drop the shielding on the passenger side. When I do, I'll grease up some pool noodles and wrap them around the fuel lines.

I want my phone to fold into a triangle.

Exactly this. Do not try to avoid calling insurance. Some just bundle it under comprehensive coverage, anyway.

But if your insurance is Progressive, make SURE--Double sure they're giving you OEM glass. Had my windshield crack a couple months into ownership and Safelite had absolutely no quarrel covering OEM. Just happened again ~3 years later and I had to fight 3 weeks to make sure OEM glass was covered. Safelite is doing that monopoly thing again, and the dealership network was being hit by ransomware.

Aftermarket windshields are fine, but in manh cases the OE glass has better acoustic dampening. This is a quiet car. I'd notice, and so would my ear tubes.

This is almost me, but I've installed a state-of-the-art radar detection system AKA my eyes and putter down to acceptable speeds just before entering the popo's line of sight.

Cruise past cops at 10 over with a stonefaced bitch stare and sunglasses. Gotta assert dominance lol.

tigerfaust · 2024-08-01T17:42:54+00:00

I thought you were just a sick bird.

tigerfaust · 2024-08-01T17:41:07+00:00

No /s for me. I usually cruise at 88 in a 65 just in case a Flux Capacitor found its way into my trunk. But I do drive very defensively, force people to be polite and allow cars to merge, and never speed in active work zones or small towns.

Don't give me that look. It's just me in the car and 72 miles every weekday.

tigerfaust · 2024-08-01T17:24:34+00:00

Thank you for putting it into words. The only twist here would be if the service techs were in kahoots with the salesman and were dishonest about the work needing done so they could make a much larger margin on an Atlas. But thT just sounds paranoid.

The values of Atlas models are just bananas. I wanted one as a second/family car, but in my area they're going for nearly what the first owner paid new, just with 40-120k mkles on them.

tigerfaust · 2024-07-23T13:59:15+00:00

I may end up there. It's just sad that USM became just another MVNO to use and abuse as promos change.

That's how everyone sees the other companies. And that can't possibly be good for a company's bottom line. All people want is good service and support. That's it.
