There seems to be something going on with PSN somewhere? I just went onto bloodborne and I cant connect there either. My friends got kicked off of Destiny as well.

Damn. I just tried the Pharo because people in this thread were hyping it up, and I'm not sure if it was a placebo effect or not, but I did even better than usual. I was my team's MVP in almost half the games that I played today, and top 3 in the others. It doesn't have the range as my Kuda or my AR Man'o'war, but its other qualities are impressive.

jorge and everyone else using it, what attachments are you using? I've always used silencers on my SMG's, but I don't know, I can't decide if it's worth it or not. Stock and grip have worked well for me, so I got those two on it too. I'm not sure about laser sights since I rarely hipfire, and they do make you easier to spot. I also haven't unlocked extended mags yet. I use it on my Kuda since it's a necessity for double and triple kills, but Pharo seem to be doing alright without it.

EDIT: And yeah, servers went down on PS4, that's why I came here ;b

I just run Quickdraw and Stock on it.

This is the one game I don't use silencer, I don't think it's needed

Also, as far as I'm concerned, the pharo has better range than the Kuda

I tend to use grip, stock, Quickdraw, extended mag

Ghosts and fast hands

Also, welcome to the club as well!

I haven't been too impressed with the camo they offer but I think this Ice one looks really nice. You can't tell by the picture but it's animated...as if there's water moving around.

This is "Epic" camo from the Black Market, btw.

Why use an inferior weapon? Unless you really value perks or use a primary as secondary (I do have that on one set-up).

I use quickdraw on everything, but it doesn't seem necessary on Pharo. It has a nice ADS time. I'll probably put on the extended mag when I get it though.

As for perks, I go completely different. Sixth sense is way, way, way too good not to use. It has to be the most OP perk. Fast hands is useful if you're rocking with a sniper as secondary, but otherwise, I rarely see a need to switch weapon, since SMG's reload so quickly. I use the scorestreak killer as my secondary on all my set-ups but one, where I rock the Gorgon. Tracker is my go to greenie, and if I have the points, then hardwired as second greenie is really nice too. The red perks are all pretty meh.

And yeah, glad to be in the Pharo club, haha. Although I will say the game is pretty well balanced, all things considered.

Agreed about the game being balanced

I use fast hands because when you run, your weapon gets put up MUCH faster, it's as important as quick draw. These two are the difference between life and deaths is some SMG v SMG gun fights.

I like stock because I'm so fast to win gun fights, and it goes well with Ghosts because walking with stock/ADS makes you not appear on radar

I always have a launcher, for one I'm trying to get gold on it atm, and second, nobody else seems to carry one any longer.

I don't feel like I really need any other attachments for it, I'd run silencer if it weren't garbage. Oh I run a sight on it as well, forgot.

Nah, I rarely use that gun...but I'm using it now in hopes of getting a Nuclear, haha.

Nuclear has always been annoying to get. I'm always a run and gun person but for this medal, I need to take it slow..and, dare I say, camp it out lol. It's what I did in BO2. No shame in that.

I'm trying to do this in hardcore domination. 2 shock charges (just to slow down people), ghost/flak jacket, scavenger and awareness. As soon as I unlock dead silence, I'll be putting that on. After that, just a matter of taking my time while I move through the map. Definitely a different playstyle than I'm use to...and I really don't like it, lol.

The FFA nuclear challenge is going to be a BITCH though. You need to pray you get in a lobby with clueless people.

Lol I see

I let those happen on their own, don't really focus on nuclears, if they happen naturally then awesome!

Also, I used to use six sense, but they need to be too close for it to take effect

Edit: servers down again

And what's your go to go Jeff?

Nightmare mode from the campaign is a cheap piece of shit. If you get hit from behind your instantly dead because you cant turn around. Its not worth playing at all.

Sixth Sense is really good when you're in a building with multiple floors.

I don't run it anymore either, but I've had quiet a few moments lately with enemies running past me just out of my FoV, or having somebody jump over your head around a corner and losing track of them.

Lol, went back to play some more since I heard servers got back up. Got to play three games and then the servers went down again. What's going on?

Oh that's right, I forgot that fast hands do that. That does make it really useful. Damn, I still love tracker though.

Yeah, stock is a given, and Ghosts is alright I guess, but I always shoot the UAV's down anyway. It does give the opponent a false sense of security however if no one on your team is taking down UAV's, since people often do overrely on the minimap when a UAV is up. Sixth sense is too good though. Different strokes for different folks, of course.

Sixth sense is insane on levels like Aquarium, Hunted or Exodus. Well, on any level really.

I think they just updated to version 37.11.19.4 I noticed this matchmaking issue this last friday, you'll only be able to connect with people who are running the same version. just reboot the game.

Domination. Jump on B flag, heatwave, SMG, spray and pray. Or just heatwave, thermite, or cook a grenade and kill them as you die as well. There are a ton of ways to do it in Domination.

I swear most of the time you get the cool looking black market camos for guns you don't use. Just got a legendary/epic camo for 3 guns I never use.

Lol PS4 is a laggy mess. smh Treyarch.

It can occasionally go completely ham and wreck the other team. Other times it dies to a super move instantly or gets blasted by emps/rockets/hellfire/lightning.

I've had it spawn camp the other team in Dom which was pretty hilarious.

Ive had a UAV once and I have never had a second streak at all, in fact the only hellstorm I had was because teh game gave it to me after I succesfully planted a bomb and detonated in Demolition lol.

Jeez I suck.

No idea what happened here, but the audio mix is completely fucked when I'm wearing headphones.

Combat sounds like gunfire are whisper quiet, yet UI sounds, like medals and specialist weapon notification sounds are insanely loud.

Is this some sort of known glitch?

You have to create a paintjob for that gun. Then when you choose to showcase it, the paintjob will be there among the choices.

Actually, it's best to create a variant of the gun you want via the gunsmith. Because then you can choose the camouflage, paint job, and attachments that appear for your showcase weapon.

I use nothing on it and do well with it (almost 3.0). I guess it depends on how you play. I usually rush the less populated routes and try to clear from behind, rarely ever doing medium-long range encounters due to the nerf.

Also, never use Suppressors cause they absolutely kill your gun unless of you're godly.

Is there anywhere to see your list of Black Market unlocks?

I know I have some legendary weapon-specific stuff unlocked, but.... where?
