@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.
- dSKyNafinchin4 years agoHero@Cheese9Man This info makes me feel better about the expanded wildlife. I'll reserve final judgement for after the new season launches, and I get to see how it actually plays. I'm all for the Goliath being removed. As an LTM, it could be pretty fun, but I feel like they would have too much health for BR. I'm not worried about Prowlers/Spiders though, because if I die to one of those jokers, I deserve it, Lmao
For the evo shield damage, I hope no more than 1/4 of the damage counts toward shields. Not sure how I feel about the damage counting at all, but hopefully it's no more than that
- 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.
