My current loadout giving me some joy

Since I have returned, I have decided to run with Loba! I love using her Bracelet tactical to teleport in-out of recovering teammate banners, amongst other sneaky and defensive maneouvres. He...

Valk, completely op since last season, though in my defense I've mained her since s14. Tripletake with 2/4 variable scope and a Volt which I almost never use.

Out of curiosity, why use an auto with a mid-range scope instead of a marksman? For me using an auto over distance is impossible. First bullet hits and the rest go up in the air. "Learn to control the recoil, recon." It's like trying to **bleep** on a tree in a hurricane. Utterly and completely ridiculous. I see creators post their 50 meter r301 one-clips and I don't think to myself, "Wow, amazing recoil control." I think to myself, "How can you post videos of yourself blatantly cheating and not get banned?"

I like the triple take - I think I used that to finally get the damage badge. But sometimes I use it and it feels like it's missing nailed-on shots.

Why I use ARs instead of marksman - gives me a bit more versatility, a bit more forgiving if I miss my shots. I find being able to consistently land more hits seems to make foes panic a little more, when you land regular hits people panic and seek cover, if i miss hits with a marksman, foes tend to feel more confident to sit wait and slap me with an insane damage rifle.

The versatility it gives me too is in later rings or in closer encounters I can switch it to full-auto if needed.

Recoil - on the 301 with a good stabiliser it's not much an issue, the Flatline is an interesting one, sometimes I use it and I'm like 'wth, this recoil is too much land one shot and the rest are bouncing all over the shop like im on rough terrain in a jeep'. HOwever, sometimes it just seems to remain consistent and it can eat foes HP.
A caveat to this however, is I'm a G7 Scout fan, since aaaaaages ago. But it's not in rotation so, otherwise it might be that - but the ARs give me a faster ROF which sometimes just seems to have something about it.

I've been having my best games with the RE45, Flatline set up. And with Loba --- I'm using her, actually, a bit more like her lore would suggest, an escape artist. Get in get out. Two boxed teammates next to eachother, enemies healing/looting I chuck the bracelet in, "hi" snatch the banners, snap my fingers, out of there, respawn, chuck a black market down for them to re-up. So **bleep** satisfying 🤌
