@Cheese9Man Well i seriously hope it's like you said, changing the meta after several seasons would be nice. Do we have any leaks on patch notes?
@MyName1sNotJohn CAR smg looks definitely op, but i'm not surprised for this, i'm sure the start of the season will be messy lol.

Quick question: Do we actually need another SMG right now? I dunno I just feel that the gun feels redundant to what we already have right now unlike the Rampage which brought some new gameplay with it.

at least it is not cancer as the rampage. once I heard someone popping a thermite i just straight up walk away.

@Cheese9Man Right now i don't like the removal of jump towers, but i need to play the map to see if this thing will hurt rotations or it's still ok (Valkyrie may become even more important). I didn't expect this map to be 15% bigger than WE though, it surprised me a lot.
As for another smg, i'd say yes. R99 is not a good gun anymore so if another strong smg comes in the game then i'm all for that.
- 4 years ago@Cro_Pittt Same here I was surprised as well! It doesn't look that big from the videos. Maybe playable area will be smaller? The guy who designed the map is the same team who made World's Edge. Hoping that they learned A LOT from fragment. lol.

Just finished reading the blog post and got to the part about the wildlife. This is the most "game changing" and controversial aspect of the map either for good or for worse. On the other hand, based from the vlog, they're not as bothersome as expected since you have to really approach Prowlers for them to attack and to destroy some spider eggs for it to hatch.
Other stuff they added
- The wildlife will drop gun attachments and ammo
- The wildlife can't get out of their nests.
- They're not infinitely spawning unlike the early builds of the map (leaks).
- Goliaths seem to be removed as well. If you guys didn't know (those who didn't want spoilers), there should have been Goliaths (that monster that BH killed in the Old Ways trailer) in the map where you need to damage it for around 200-300 damage to kill and it can 2 punch down you. Glad they decided to remove them.
- You can farm the wildlife to upgrade your evo shield but they only said that only a portion of the damage will go into your evo shield.
- hayhor4 years agoHero@Cro_Pittt I disagree about the 99. It is still pretty strong when kitted. The issue with all smgs is the shotgun meta. Everyone runs shotguns. I rarely see someone with an smg though I like running them myself.
- hayhor4 years agoHero@Cheese9Man No jump towers is a bit dumb. Especially on a big map. There has to be some way to get launched around.
- 4 years ago@Cheese9Man I think traps could possibly be useful if you place them well, since you can evade to the side if they aren’t placed smart. As for the man cannons I think as long as the audio is ok on them, they are fine, knowing where they are will make anticipating thirds a bit easier perhaps. Jump towers were perhaps a bit less predictable since you could take off in any direction, but the audio was fairly good and you were slowed on landing, so a bad landing put you at a disadvantage. Regardless, a minor buff for defense is ok, but defense legends besides Gibby need internal changes to their kit to help ultimately
