Returning after a hot minute out.

R3O1 with 3* hcog for range and close up, mastiff and 30 30 repeater for fast reload and R99 IS REALLY GOOD and for Legend wraith octane or horizon and there is a new legend next season that looks good for that.

The RE45 being changed to a charge energy burst weapon, instead of just keeping the same functionality and being swapped to heavy ammo still boggles my mind. 

So many of the energy weapons have that delay before firing that IRL would be a death sentence to any soldiers on a battlefield for a CQC to Mid-range method that none of these would be developed for a serious military. 

The charge rifle being the only one with a charge delay makes sense. In the original Titanfall games it was for pilots to use in their anti-Titan slot. It was something you were aiming at the broad side of a moving barn. 

The R301 is the only thing in this list I've had any luck with - and actually, switching it to single fire mode to spam at long range opps.

R99 im not getting on with.

Octane I noticed is the sweat meta still, thirsty kids type vibe.

I was using ash for a bit, found her snare tactical to still largely be pretty useless, though I do love her ult.
I swapped to Ballistic, as I find his tactical slightly more useful, does damage and can cause further punishment for foes firing back. But he lacks a mobility - would be perfect if he did. 

I've actually for now, quite enjoyed the RE45 and the Hemlok. 

Seems absolutely crazy to me re the RE45 - what was the reasons given for this? 
Did people ask for it to be nerfed or something?

Loved that in my sling as ballistic.

I've been having some luck with it tho.

No one asked for most of the changes in the 2 seasons I skipped. 

Who put live enemy players in the Bot training mode? WHO ASKED FOR THAT!?
