Who do you think the new metas going to be?
After the next update I think sunflower will be near the top. Imp will probably be ridiculous at first.

@dwooten77 what does metas mean?
@El_Koopa_KabraFunny story, I had to look this up last week when someone used it in connection to a game. Since it wasn't a game about being a game, it didn't make a whole lot of sense to me lol. Turns out it can actually be an acronym, "Most Effective Tactic Available (or Tactical Advantage)" and it often changes with balancing patches in games.
More on topic, I don't see any of the current changes bumping scientist/space station out either. But sometimes changes look a lot different once everyone starts playing them together.
Ah, that acronym really helps a lot! Thank you!
Are they changing anything to Cpt. Deadbeard? If not, he's still too powerful especially on big maps (turf takeover) or maps with lots of open areas.
On defense, his parrot missiles and barrel blast can hold a point really well. Both moves are pretty much instant kills.
On attack, sniping and parrot missiles provide superior support.
- Just activate the parrot, aim (even from afar), and shoot the missiles. Once the missiles start flying, leave the parrot and resume sniping.
Have Critical Blow and Incoming Keg as the upgrades and you can rinse repeat, almost guaranteeing the top vanquish spot.
Cpt Deadbeard can get the parrot ability in less than 30 seconds and much sooner with Critical Blow.
Any enemy that comes close to Cpt Deadbeard and he can jump in the barrel, chase after them (and he's faster than them with incoming keg) and get the kill. It's also useful for running away really fast.
Over 150 hours in multiplayer and the top vanquishers I see are usually Deadbeard or Scientist.

They said in their update video ALL characters primary fire would be buffed. 🤷🏼♂️
