Re: S11 Patch Notes Discussion - buffs/nerfs

Of all the weapons they could have ported in from TF, I don't really get the CAR.  One good thing about the past few seasons has been the new weapons. Volt when there were SMGs lacking, 30-30 and Rampage are fairly unique.  The CAR is going to be just another SMG, already the R-99 and Volt fill the gap, the Prowler and Alternator are both unusual in their own ways.  Can't see the CAR being another slightly different thing which won't add much, but I suppose we'll see.


I had the same reaction as you. I don't think we really needed a new SMG or even a gun right now. Since S8 we have a new weapon introduced and we could have at least had a break even just for a season. I hope it somehow changes how we choose guns though. Will they just continually add weapons in the carepack as we increase the number of weapons? On the CAR itself, we will have to see how it feels when S11 starts.

    @Cheese9Man There are some pretty great weapons I could see being transported in from TF2.  Hopefully they keep coming. 

    Mag grenade launcher? Please? Just so you can use it on people?

    @KelRiever I've always wanted a rocket or grenade launcher but seeing as that is a legend ability I don't ever see it happening.
  • @MrCarri-X They better give us a whole set of collection event skins next time. Thank you for always having my back. LOL! Do you already have the pumpkin head BH? I really want it but it sucks that it's in a bundle.

    Is there even a remaining Tae Joon Park main here? Anyways, here's the latest update on his rework.

    Future season -  Crypto gets all the buffs on launch, everyone else gotta wait for mid patch

  • @Cheese9Man Actually, I also happen to main Loba and Crypto on the side if I need to take a break from Princess Ramya for a bit.
    Crypto doesn't really need a "buff" as one would say because he already loaded with abilities in his drone. They just need to give him QOL changes by making the drone easier and faster to use since it can be a pain having to switch in n out in his current state. Also for his passive, just take one of his current drone abilities and make that his new passive (like the ability to see how many squads are in the area within 200 meters of Crypto)

    @soccerking122 100% agree with everything that you’ve said. The main thing that detracts players is when Crypto has to use the Nintendo Switch. If Respawn can find a way that you wouldn’t not have to load into the matrix just to control the drone that would entice people to play him more.

    @MrCarri-X I pulled the trigger as well. Will definitely be called as “part of the problem” for spending too much on a skin. 🙃

    I broke down and finally bought it.  I've played this game since day 1 and I guess it's not unreasonable to throw a bit back.

    @RockDokRock Thanks for making me feel a bit better for compulsive purchase. Not gonna lie, it’s a really nice skin. Do you prefer the recolor one or the OG skin?

    I think I like the orange pumpkin head.  It's just so ridiculous I love it.

    I justified it to myself by looking at the hours I've sunk into a free game over the last couple of years.  Throwing them €40 isn't unreasonable (I got the Caustic clown ones too as I'm a Caustic main and those skins are really *****-ed up - love it!).  I think I purchased the "Claustic" Caustic Santa skin too when it first came out for similar reasons.

    Yourself?  Preference?  Any other guilty purchases you'd like to confess?

    @Cheese9Man So crypto reworks means making him more viable for casual players and taking him out of competitive lol.

    Just watched this Gaming Merchant video of him comparing the CAR versus the existing SMGs more specifically, the R99.

    Summary of the video:

    • The magazine sizes are the same for both the R99 and CAR.
    • The CAR has the flexibility of using two ammo types (we all know this already).
    • The CAR has a shorter time to kill and higher DPS than the R99.
    • The CAR's recoil is harder to control than the R99. It has more of a horizontal pattern.

    @WreckingVi @jaygates879 just started my gaming session. Might play for 2 hours. I'm currently in the firing and yes the bubble is freakin massive. LMAO! I prefer the smaller bubble so it's easier to go in and out during bubble fights. This is just weird.

    edit: they also “buffed” the ammo in the firing range so that when you pick up the ammo, it immediately spawns another.
