Double xp and no shipment. Oh sorrow.

the origin shotgun is ass

Uh, duh? DMG falloff is insane with anyone not within nose-hair viewing distance.

 

[vcmmafan]

So for me personally the best Striker 45 set up has been:

Mono Suppressor, 300m Poly Barrel, 1mW Laser, Commando Foregrip, and Frangible Wounding

Been playing around with it for a few days but this has been the most consistent for me.

Learned the hard way 45 HP 2 Round Burst wasn’t for me

I was excited to use a semi auto shotgun after the 725 but damn. I got hit markers in fucking hardcore Rust. This gun is absolutely a nightmare.

Ugh, Cheshire Park. I HATE this map.

Modding for burst never worked for me either but it places so high on everyone's performance charts that I've been wondering what I'm bungling in gunsmith to make this tool spit some fire. I'll create an experimental loadout tomorrow with above and see how it goes but Commando for foregrip isn't a surprise to see as I remember it kicking east-west. Thanks, bud.

Ugh, Cheshire Park. I HATE this map.

Easy to get pinned down at spawn and lots of WTF-gotcha! corners + some tricky level change-ups at mid. My take. I really dig the ambience and streetlamps though, which I know is a mere footnote to actual play. Scrapyard grew me on really fast and I like it more than I thought I would. How you find it?

 

[Deleted member 484047]

Scrapyard? I didn't like it at first, but it grew on me. Plenty of sniper opportunities, but they are also easy to spot so it's not a camp fest. And the center is great for some close up combat. Probably one of my top maps now, although Shoothouse is still my favorite.

 

[deadshot138]

Ugh, Cheshire Park. I HATE this map.

It was fun with my 725/Barret .50 combo but with the Origins it sucks. I hit a guy with 8 shells to kill him. Any multiple enemy engagements and I'm fucked.

 

[Thrawn33]

Ugh, Cheshire Park. I HATE this map.

Can't agree, I just unlocked Kali Sticks playing it and Shoothouse, with most of my sliding knife kills coming on this one.

When I got my 3 knife slide kills I switched to the crossbow that I've ignored since whenever.

With the 2x weapon XP I'm nearly halfway on Crossbow and got a great start on the Sticks.

And I did it on Basic as opposed to my usual Hardcore.

Is crossbow ass?

Is crossbow ass?

Not ass but different and will feel like shooting underwater at first with everyone else moving in fast-forward; some fun treatment to bolt tips will help make levelling interesting as you grow into it + greater optics feeling pretty bad-ass. I've gold bow so big things I can remember are offensive pacing, meaning every shot counts and speaking non-figuratively, so don't miss but when you hit, it hurts (chest is a OHKO, iirc). Correcting for range (overshooting) is a bigger deal than with any other WPN so l/shots are a sweet science. Ultimately, it's a think-first or predictive-play weapon (to differentiate from reactive-play) much like a sniper but +1 on mobility. Confidence is a must and comes with time as stalling here is twice the reaction window lost. On the note, you're going to miss heaps of shots and be sour at first, thinking that was a textbook between-eyes h/shot but you'll overcome that eventually and 'get it' re: velocity. I rarely use it at all nowadays except for as a fun, one-off haul from a weapon cache (drone drop field upgrade).

 

[deadshot138]

Origin hell is over. That gun just never got better regardless of the attachments. If it's not the victim of an overzealous nerf, it's in dire need of a buff.

 

[Thrawn33]

Just realized WZ Rumble is back on in the Warzone Playlist.

If you guys need to max those Snipers or DMRs while we're getting 2x WXP get yo ass in "Sniper Shipment"

Great breakdown, I have to say I didn't hate it while using it yesterday. Working some WZ right now to get a couple sick calling cards, then back to MP to get those levels on the Crossbow and Sticks.

After levelling them all in a row I think I'm sick of shotguns. I dont even wanna play with the vlk now. And now I'm being cornered into weapons that are shitty AkA snipers, melee and pistols.

Play pistols on HC, you'll thank me

Melee...wait for shipment 24/7 (although I just went on a 10 kill streak with the sticks on Cheshire)

Snipers, now's the perfect time because you have WZ Rumble and Shootout/Cheshire on the 2x WXP

My desire to finish leveling a few snipers vs. my dislike of some of those maps....

And after a couple of WZ matches, I am torn on the explosive rounds for the AMR. They hit like a fucking truck, but DAMN are they slow. Kinda fun watching them zoom across the map though at least.

 

[Thrawn33]

The fucking sticks rule!

Max leveled them already and I just pulled 56 kills in Shoothouse with them (ok maybe a throwing knife and a couple VTOL kills too) but damn, so much quicker than the knife. Golding this fucker asap

I still have plenty of fun with the 680 but ADS is mandatory with that one (reduces the spread)
