To Cliffy

Since the green liquid metal weapon skin will be available january 3rd, how about pre order characters?

I really want that savage grenadier elite

The only pre-order/exclusive character I need is the savage grenadier elite, make it available for purchase Cliffy!

It is the only locust I would use.

 

[feel]

I tested it out against bots. The range is significantly reduced. You have to be REALLY close in order to gib someone.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Hey peeps. We posted stats from the first three weeks of gameplay. Go check it out and discuss.

Oh yeah, we reduced the gib range on the Sawed-Off. Enjoy.

WWWYKI! finally i can play without getting enraged from every sos death :lol.

 

[Teknoman]

So the SOS is as it should be now? Cool.

I hope it stops the suicide charging.

 

[leng jai]

Hopefully roadie running through 15 Lancer bullets is no longer a viable tactic.

Now Cliffy please reduce the range of the Gnahser k thx

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Overpass was tweaked. Torque/Boom where mortar/HOD used to be.

Anyone else see any map changes?

K, now do the same on Sandbar.

edit - Torque/Boom where Hammer/OneShot used to be. Something crappy at the old Digger spawn.

HOD was overpowered, mortar was useless.

You do well epic you do well.

 

[LeonSKennedy90]

Trying it out with bots, the SOS range is hysterically bad now

 

[Kadey]

How do you get big head mode the legit way?

 

[The Xtortionist]

HOD was overpowered, mortar was useless.

Hammer is garbage on Overpass TDM when the other team controls the top.

[Nori Chan]

Do you get this just for buying anything at jack in the box or...

I get more head than shampoo

Spoiler

yeah from jack

 

[Xevren]

Complete 1000 waves of horde.

 

[ThirtyPlus]

Now put Social Horde back in. Please?

 

[mickcenary]

Dude. You have that the wrong way around.

 

[D4Danger]

that's an interesting change

I thought maybe they'd add some snipers so you can't just camp the top but this will do for now

 

[leng jai]

The Boomshot will be pretty effective.

 

[thezerofire]

Overpass TDM is garbage when the other team controls the top.

I fixed that for you

 

[StalkerUKCG]

Dude. You have that the wrong way around.

The few times iv picked up the hammer i destroyed groups with it. I tend to stay clear of the mortar in general. Just my opinion on it not a fact, regardless the change is for the better i think we all agree.

 

[Domino Theory]

Now Cliffy please reduce the range of the Gnahser k thx

NOPE.

Thank god

Also its really sad whats happening with Warzone and Execution numbers

 

[thezerofire]

Thank god

I'll go in more now that I know I'll just be killed by some kid waiting around a corner to press R and then have to wait the rest of the round

 

[Plasmid]

Now Cliffy please reduce the range of the Gnahser k thx

lol r u srs

 

[JB1981]

Now Cliffy please reduce the range of the Gnahser k thx

It is definitely a less viable tactic now compared to the two previous games

 

[njean777]

lol r u srs

When it can down me from a considerable length away from the target I'm talking at least 12+ feet no I am not kidding.

 

[mickcenary]

Now Cliffy please reduce the range of the Gnahser k thx

Hmm. I really don't get all the hate for the Gnasher's range. I think it's spot on.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Hmm. I really don't get all the hate for the Gnasher's range. I think it's spot on.

To be fair, the active gnasher is a fucking sniper rifle.

Aside from that, it's fine.

 

[JB1981]

Hmm. I really don't get all the hate for the Gnasher's range. I think it's spot on.

It's perfect, vastly improved on game 2. Title Update 6 increased the range on the gnashed a ridiculous amount

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Boom/Digger no longer up at the top in sandbar. It's scorcher now.

Boom is now at HOD/Oneshot.

 

[LeonSKennedy90]

I just played Overpass, it was HoD/Mortor, same as always

Quickmatch, if that makes any difference

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Probably not all changed yet.

I'm going through ranked looking.

 

[DR3AM]

wait, they fixed the SOS?

also, why is it moving to community?

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Better property values.

You can shut the fuck up now.

 

[Ballistik]

I think that's because the game has been running since before the update, so it hasn't been updated.

Idk why im telling you this on here when we're playing together right now.

 

[mickcenary]

Boom/Digger no longer up at the top in sandbar. It's scorcher now.

Boom is now at HOD/Oneshot.

That's very interesting. I'm actually warming to Sandbar. If i can get my hands on the Longshot, it's one of the very few maps where I can relax and provide ample support whilst honing my skills. My Longshot abilities have improved exponentially in the last couple of days.

 

[njean777]

So wait a shotgun without slug rounds (gnasher), we are perfectly fine with being able to down people from 12+ feet, but with the SOS we had to be right in front of the person, or the person could be like at max 3-4ft away we hate? WTF I am at a loss for words. BTW I am not talking about the gib range, I am talking about the damage ratio to distance. The gnasher can do a considerable amount of damage from 12+ feet away almost negating the lancer user from doing anything against it.

 

[kiryani]

I got hate mail from a sawed off user :O

I nemesis'd him 5 games in a row, just keeping my distance and lancering his face off, he messaged me to go and play cod if I'm gonna play with fag guns and not get up close :3

Nope, blind fire is better than ever on the lancer and active reload sweetens the deal, The gnasher is fine. If the SOS tweaks works as i hope then gears should play great.

 

[Jaguar]

Best news I've heard in a long time. Just got done playing and didn't notice any of the changes to the Sawed-Off or the maps (Sandbar)

Once I see the improvements for myself, I'll definitely buy that Season Pass.

Good shit Epic.

Yeah, somehow the lancer is a noob weapon now.

I lol at them.

 

[computers putin']

I hate how using the Retro Lancer effectively makes you a gimp at medium range since your other weapon is a shotgun.

I use the pistol instead, the pistol is pretty good with a quick trigger finger and some headshots.

 

[LeonSKennedy90]

I love my Lancer

 

[The Xtortionist]

I love my Lancer

Best starting weapon in the game. 50% of my kills are with it.

Though Retros scare the hell out of me. When I hear one, I always duck down.

 

[Rimfya]

Retro > All.

I like how the three AR's force you to play very different. I hated the Retro because I was playing like it was a lancer. Change your game to suit the weapon. Love it.
