I am still confused about Falck's trait is now. It sounds like it is exactly the same as before. Previously Falck and Angel had quick revives but Falck returned players to 100%. Now the defib does that. So did Angel lose quick revives and now Falck is the only one with a quick revive, but the defib for Angel and Irish are the same speed as any other player, but also returns players to 100%? Is that what is going on? If so, Angel has become extremely less useful.
EDIT:
It seems that Falck now is the only one with quick revive. All the defib does for Irish and Angel are return players to 100%. So to me that is way less useful than the speed of the revive. Angel is nerfed all around and Irish is not much better.
Thoughts?
Nice boost on Liss, now I'm done with this game. It's already hell to dodge broken Liss missile but 150ms speed and 600m range.
Thanks but no thanks.
- @Man_iLoveFishing 50% faster and 33% more distance? Wow, that is crazy. I could see going to 500m but 600m AND a speed increase?
Is this real life?
Rao is TERRIBLE. What are they doing? He already lost the ability to use M5 and FXAA, so the trade-off is making his hack into a targeting capability. That's it? He already is in the Recon class which can equip the SOFLAM anyway, so that is basically a useless gadget for him unless you want to rotate hacks with SOFLAM? That's the concept there? Really?
Then you decide, well now that he is useless, let's increase the hack cooldown to 8 seconds and make the hack take 50% longer, now 2.25 seconds? If his hack is still within 200m, he is the most worthless character in the history of FPS gaming. So all a helo has to do is get out of the 200m range once they start getting hacked? Now they have over 2 seconds to get away? Then after he hacks, he can't do it again for 8 seconds?- @Adamonic Have you actually used Rao before lol, he ain't useless or worthless at all. And he's one of the best additions to the BF franchise.
The whole point of Rao now more than ever is to be a constant annoying vehicle swatter at a distance (was way too easy to kill skilless birds with hack + stinger lol).
He's a Recon so naturally he's more effective played at a distance. SOFLAM helps to constantly target tanks/helis (and spot infantry) further off in the distance so it's the ideal gadget to have when not hacking. Complete opposite of useless.
Hacked vehicles now communicated to teammates as locked targets is amazing and something that was needed since launch - anti-vehicle awareness will be instantly improved.
The compromise to this though is the increased hacked target cooldown (this window is where Engineers really need to spam rockets), and slightly longer hack duration (not really a prob if you're at a bit of a distance as fortunately his hack range didn't get nerfed - nor should it). If a Rao is close to any vehicle and expect to hack it they deserve to get killed.
The more people understand this, the more synergy there'll be between Rao players and Engineers on the field. They'll be extremely effective at wiping away scrubby vehicles, can't wait honestly.
So if you thought Boris sentry gun was useless before you're now getting a sentry gun that spits paintballs at any vehicle guaranteeing it will get blown up straight away.
Only targets infantry within 25m lol!
Well played community 👏👏👏
