Testing. Again. Update 3.0

Damn the PDW is gonna go crazy, I remember it was buffed a few patches ago and it was pretty darn good. Not sure how I feel about the shotgun ammo nerf though, I always though shotguns were inconsistent.

I do like that playing Support is being incentivized, makes it an actually trade-off between having crazy perk points and move speed and having ammo. Hopefully they tune down field medic a bit though, it’s a headache to go against

Edit: I forgot to mention that the gearhead nerf is wonderful, I through that shit on literally every fireteam build I had 😅

I did more damage with a knife than with SAWZ against Feral Pred LMAO

After a few stabs dude ran for his life.

Also sniper AI on Airstrip don’t seem to miss. I ate 3 sniper shots from them while sprinting. 😂

Imo I think that was the ultimate goal with Illfonic buffing SMG damage by 15%, but it didn’t work because the sidearms were still just too good to put down. Now you don’t really have a choice unless you want to specifically build around it

The only part that is strange to me about it all is kneecapping Shotty ammo alongside Pistol. Pistol damage being absurdly high is actually somewhat okay with their new ammo pitiful ammo counts, but Shotguns still lack a significant kick despite the fact Illfonic have continually tried to make them the “Get off of me” Secondary.

This might be a hot take, but the mini gun with multitasker perk might be the best secondary in the current meta. High dps, high sustain, and large ammo pool.

Seriously melee isnt complete suicide maybe with amazon ghost, rest is shit, tried with feral

Have you been using the sickle?

Yes, I tried with that on feral. Got melted before could down them, had to switch to plasma but now energy drain is shit so cant use it much

I feel that. I’ve mostly been Plasma Heavy, switching to spear throws at close range on low health players, then finishing downed players from cover with the disk.

I think melee won’t be viable until it has an added effect like knocking Fireteam aim up or down. Or has greatly increased damage for much more stamina cost. 🤷‍♂️

I found the new boltgun good to finish downed fts, using it at point blank instead of ranged.

Nice. I tried it but I didn’t like the laser giving away position and the steering is stiff compared to the disk.

Thats why im using it at point blank vs ft, like the bow with quick shots

Yeah that was the same
I didn’t even see my down health baar , my character just died

Does tracker still show up in the files? Tracker predator i mean

Minigun is actually good now. Even in the last patch, the minigun did good damage. There was one player that knew how to use the minigun very well. My health would melt anytime I got close to him.

didn’t see them on patch 2.5, nor on this one.

Question to ps players

Do you have to have a ps plus to play this game?
