Re: Switching up tactics

@Koochi-Q I much prefer to loot up a bit before going at it.  Too many hot drops to loot bins with med kits and sights are imo very boring and invariably short games. I enjoy the tactics side of it  outwitting if poss  and see it as kinda like a game of chess. There is a satisfying rush to be had there too. You sound a bit more interested in the kdr side of things than wins.

I take great pride in my number of top 3's and am just approaching 500k damage on.my wraith.

    @OldTreeCreeper But the thing about hot drops is they aren’t always hot. If the trajectory goes somewhere, the first place is technically the hot zone, yet not always is this the case. Water treatment, repulsor, The Crane, Artillery, Slum Lakes, The Gauntlet and that other place sometimes only have 1 other team but I still consider it a hot drop. They’re all places that accommodate loot for at least 2 teams so you just have to think fast...

    KDR doesn’t really interest me. I just like the killing and not so much a stat no one’s seeing. But Wins mean even less so thats true xD

  • Playing Trios last night I got the dreaded "Squad of One" screen, so I spent the entire game hiding.

    Finished second. Must admit though, it was pretty boring :D

    @EdwardDLuffy  whenever I end up solo I just roleplay like I'm Snake trying to sneak around. It makes hiding a bit more entertaining.

  • @Daze623  When I end up solo I just pick up a sniper and make it my sole purpose to torment the lobby until I get popped, Even better when I'm crypto as the torment doubles up with EMP spam. 😛

    @MandatoryIDtag last time I was left alone as Crypto I acted like a news anchor watching how fights go. It's hilarious how the drone going in breaks up the fight cause everyone is afraid they'll get hit with an EMP.

    @Koochi-Q I've misunderstood your hot drops. By hot I assumed multiple teams, not the zone where there is better stuff. If that zone is only one other team I have no issue going there, especially if we are first or right with them. It is when there are more than 2 teams or we are late on the drop that bother me.

    @Daze623 If you want another way to break up a fight, get a charge rifle and start beaming people randomly. I swear people hate it so much they instantly team up to hunt you. 😂
  • @hayhor I hold my own definition of hot drop. It’s basically (one of) the first high loot places you can go to. I think in most cases that substitutes as the generalized ‘hot drops’ tho as ppl usually go there. But I totally get why you had the idea you had, I should’ve explained my definition 😅

    But both cases I’m in for it unless I know it’s not a good jump. Like ppl going late into labs when I already see 5 teams heading there. That’s just stupid. Only places I know that can accommodate 5 squads are slum lake, swamps, Repulsor & Artillery... even in those cases you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel.

    Lolz charge rifle ppl need to die! Darn annoying ppl spamming a straight beam anywhere from 100-400m away!
  • @hayhor I don't need to try it cause I'm one of those people who use it to farm damage and/or level up my evo shield. I'm trying to not use it much but it's just so fun to just beam people from 300m+.
