Rampart Changes Summary and Feedback

• Rampart will now be able to run around with Sheila out, and shoot while walking. The spin up is longer, and she only gets 1 magazine in this mode.

I honestly think he should not able to RUN with Sheila out, it doesn't make sense, since with normal gun out, we already get slowed down.

I think that is a typo by them.

Well, let' see next week, most likely slow down just like another gun.

So, in order for her to shoot Sheila whilst flying through the air she would need to walk towards the jump pad whilst spinning up the gun and then hope that there's a target to shoot at and they are able to hit anything at all with it.  I am sure some YouTubers will find a way to make it work for some content but I really can't imagine that becoming a thing!

It will be powerful in some situations of course, you would likely be able to lockdown a corridor more effectively and could duck for cover easier.  It is all going to depend on how much longer they make the spin-up I guess. Rampart is still going to need smart play to be effective and I can't see it changing much really.

Wow, that is a spicy buff indeed.

I am looking forward to trying it out and see what it is like to come up against.

I didn't mind the mounted minigun but it was so situational and very difficult to forsee where it makes sense.  Challenging to use but when you get it right it was pretty amazing.

I had *one* game where I setup *three* miniguns for myself and my team mates overlooking the only point of approach with 2 (opponent) squads left.  That was brilliant.  Sadly a very rare one off as the situation was just perfect for it.

Use cases:

1. DIE at the DOOR.

    You just need to close the door, rat in the corner, and wait for un-suspected victim to get blasted and die as soon it opening the door.

    Combo with Caustic gas/wattson fence, your death guarantee to be quick one.

2. Corridor of death

    Long tunnel, building, stairs, as soon you peek, you will die.    

They buff her so they can sell her heirloom, and after 2 weeks of community screaming and Respawn get their big money, they will nerf her back to the ground.

@Piabetic Cmon didn't you see the trailer???

I don't think anyone's worrying about that. I hope they aren't.

It will be fun to see how things get shifted up a little bit.  Hopefully, at least, the changes make Rampart players feel like their legend is more fun.  But there's one of the things that make these changes difficult.  Rampart players already think she's fun, that's why they play her.  So I guess I should say, I hope Rampart players get to feel like their legend in more impactful now.  With no changes to the rest of her kit, I don't think the meta is gonna shift any here.

@hayhor Unless walking Sheila is OP, I can't see that happening past the first few days.

coincidentally, had an awesome Rampart TM yesterday.  Our third pinged labs portal, we both said "no" and for some reason he went in anyway.  We looted outside, he died, and then we went in and ruled labs for the next ten minutes.  We wiped four squads for 12 kills in there with the help of her walls.  Too bad we lost in the mid game rotation in the mountain passes.
