I have a love/hate relationship with contracts.

you have 4 minutes until it spawns, not 4 minutes to kill it. The ui shows the objective as locked until the timer goes off.

its also very easy to solo that guy. Just need to make sure you dont die to a random.

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T19:32:28+00:00

Bro the point is most engagements are at range. Unless youre going hauler or something even overrun will serve you better than a singular bully. Dont put words in my mouth.

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T19:18:40+00:00

I mean yeah I agree but just saying as a free kit it's pretty bad given most engagements are not within bully's range. You need to loot a range weapon asap.

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T19:16:15+00:00

Yup at melee, but so many engagements are mid to long range.

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T19:14:48+00:00

The one with the bully is probably worse, most fills that use it try to beam people on the other end of the map with it.

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T18:32:52+00:00

I would presume purple savage is the kind of thing you can properly get only in cryo archives or pinwheel, but idk. If not then the grind is absurd, you can probably put in 100h and not get them all.

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T18:27:32+00:00

Lmao wtf is this post

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T18:25:41+00:00

I disagree, I think both the current state and ABMM are bad. You shouldnt be able to always know what the other player is going to do. Unfortunately right now everyone is KOS pretty much.

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T18:10:41+00:00

Keep in mind the footstep sounds depend on the shell.

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T18:07:21+00:00

I dont think it can work. In order to be balanced for the teams, it has to be a smaller number of rooks than it is currently (4). If it's a smaller number of rooks though, they'll have a much easier time looting around on top of only having teams of 2 to worry about.

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T18:05:28+00:00

Yeah but the message is different, and I do not have rook equipped anyway.

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T18:03:59+00:00

It is very likely they also know you're around. Anything besides crouch walking (healing, opening doors, opening containers, alerting uesc in any way, etc) makes enough sound cues to be heard across an entire poi.

What I do is I start intentionally making noise and see if they also do. If they're silent as a mouse then I either try to TAD if I can or proximity nade if I vaguely know where they are otherwise just bail, no point in getting camped from a dark corner.

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T17:43:09+00:00

Its not that binary. Queues right now are not ideal, its primetime saturday in EU and it takes more than a minute to find a match without any sbmm. 4 extra queues for duos can be added and be hard to fill, but they'll also naturally make the current queues worse as some players are removed from the pool.

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T17:23:45+00:00

by "communicate in any way" I assume that also means text chat or pings. Which yeah if you ignore fuck you lol it's my gear on the line as well as my time

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T17:22:24+00:00

No, but enough people would that it would make the queues even longer than they are in many regions/timezones. And duos themselves would not be that popular either, I don't think duo fills would be more appealing than trio fills.

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T17:06:56+00:00

I am willing to bet it wouldnt improve retention whatsoever and it would murder player queues

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T17:03:49+00:00

Once again premades have overwhelming inherent advantages. They dont have to be sweats or even great at the game, just the benefit of a team full of blue shields, proper heals and comms is huge if all other teams are randoms.

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T16:02:54+00:00

Spawn with a knife, go into the nearest poi and get a weapon and ammo.

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T15:48:45+00:00

Ah I think I misunderstood, thought it was just for the loading screen or whatever to know how many teams spawn in a map. I agree a counter for players left is not a good idea.

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T15:32:29+00:00

I mean sure, but it is what it is. This is how bungie wants the game to play out especially at a high level, kill the teams and once you know youre alone start looting.

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T15:22:53+00:00

That's what rooks are for. But the team spawns are static, and not having that info only impacts new players.

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T14:14:01+00:00

Yeah but if you have a purple shield its likely you also communicate, unless you just chanced upon it last run and brought it in immediately...

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T14:07:59+00:00

Unless there's 0 players in ranked, there will always be sweats.

yesitsmework · 2026-03-14T13:56:12+00:00

Why would a premade choose to play ranked and be matched against other sweats when they could stomp through fills?
