Legend

Re: Solo's Mode, The Good, Bad or Ugly S21 Thread

@hayhor I agree. But as I mentioned before they could've intentionally turned up the MM to near nuclear levels so that the mode would get bad feedback & as @Asmodeus566 said say goodbye forever.

Basically saying they tried to give us what we wanted & now we can shut up about it & never mention Solos again.

My mm hasn't been that bad, but I've probably played less than 50 games. I was killed by a pred w/ 20 bomb badges today, & I've witnessed some cheating which I'm starting to report, but overall I think Solos is good for this game & should stay. It's a good way for people to practice & improve without being a burden on their team. This is better than just pressing No Fill in Duos/Trios cuz you're not instantly at a disadvantage. We should be able to have all 3 modes at once.

I don't mind the Respawn mechanic cuz it can give way for a "hardcore" Solo mode down the road with normal BR rules. But the 50m warning should be shelved I think cuz it does put players on crazy high alert & I've seen some freak out.

So my verdict is keep Solos & run it along with Duos & Trios 😤!

Please remove the words "always" and guaranteed, bcs roughly 10% of the time, those bins wont give you any weapon.
Also items might vanish seconds after you opened a bin, most likely weapons addons like magazines and scopes.

@r1ggedgame You got any vids of the disappearing stuff?

I've never had a regular loot bin not give a gun on drop. The blue support bins and assault bins do not follow the rule though so if you are dropping on either of those you may not get a gun. The assault bins only guarantee a gun if playing an assault legend.

@hayhor the text says loot bins, this includes every fricken one of them , no matter if blue/red/whatever. blue lootbins also hold weapons at times.
And why shouldnt the other bins follow that rule , makes no sense at all especially when you read the Dev note :
"Bringing knuckles to a gunfight isn’t the most engaging gameplay, so we’re improving weapon acquisition consistency in the early game. When completely unarmed, opening a bin will guarantee at least a low tier weapon."
Pretty much like the good ol "play against similar skilled opponents" or "We will be matchmaking based on RP values as closely as possible"

@hayhor regarding the vanishing items, i noticed its likely those boxes that appear to have a purple orb in the center of the bin

@r1ggedgameI'm not saying it's right but a friend and I studied the different bins after I noticed I dropped on a blue, didn't get a gun and died. From what I can see it's not a bug. It's either designed that way or an oversight.

Blues and reds can give a gun but don't fit the guaranteed rule. So my advice is not to drop on them.
