I have a quick question for all the Siege players here, a couple of my friends have started to play it and I would like to join in, however they all have the Season Pass/Gold Edition. Since I don't want to spend that much money right now, how much would I limit my friends when I group up with them if I just buy the base-game without the Season Pass for now?
Not at all. All maps are free to all players with the base game. You'll be able to play with your friends freely.

I'm totally fine with the shotgun nerfs. I would still rather have pulse's OG shotgun with the old sensor that didnt have outlines. But meh. I'll still use him for that 3speed shotty.

My balance idea: Thatcher's emp grenade instantly kills pulse anywhere on the map.

That's such a great idea. I literally love it.
The only way I'd improve upon your idea is that when any character, Attacker or Defender, shoots anywhere at all, they kill Pulse. I'm just spitballin'.
Fair compromise as long as i can make Blackbeard's shield self destruct with one shot
UBI Please
He already has the headgear for that so why not

Ran into a couple players in both casual and ranked using the walking on air exploit. Any patch news on that?

I am SOOOOOOO shocked the R6 team did nothing. So shocked. Can they go ahead and buff Valkyrie now?
Maybe they make it canon that his scanner runs on Windows ME so it just crashes randomly

Just found out you can totally revive an enemy with Doc lol

I've played for like 100 hours and I have never once been revived by a doc, and I haven't even seen someone else be revived by a doc.
I always sigh when my teammates pick him. If you pick rook instead all you have to do is press r1 at the beginning of the round and you just contributed more than any doc ever has.

Yep can honestly say since I've played this game over both consoles, I've never been on a defender team and been like, "wow we could really use a doc!!"
Been reviving, and getting revived just fine without him.
I think a health pack would be a lot more useful.
Sure the whole shoot the foot through a wall with your sidearm CAN work, but give the dude a different ability dammit.

The squad I play with regularly use a Doc/Rook combo. Rook increases the chance of DBNO instead of death and Doc picks 'em up.

I've been playing Doc off and on in my recent sessions, actually. I'm sure there's a certain amount of luck involved in my usefulness during a round, but I average at least one dart-revive a round. He's still very situational though, and could probably use a rework to his ability to make him a more tempting pick.
Now that we're off-season in Overwatch, I've come back to Siege to hopefully reach Level 50 (Currently at 44).
I was nervous about going in to my placement matches but I've been wrecking, frankly. I forgot how useful an aggressive playstyle is. 90% of the time if you advance on a player after a brief firefight instead of retreating like most players, you can surprise them and get the kill.
Only played one hostage rescue in the Favela map, seemed confusing.

Yeah Doc needs a buff. Is IQ good yet?
He's not that useful in multiplayer imo unless someone is playing Rook also and everyone actually uses the armor, because then you actually have a chance to revive someone; but he is invaluable when defending in terrorist hunt, especially on hard and realistic.
I wouldn't mind his injector being used to heal like 10 or maybe 15 damage though in addition to revive.
Her weapon selection makes her very good imo. She's a character that really needs to be integrated with the team to be effective though, and most people I've seen play her tend to run solo and get killed quickly.
Ill bite, so far it seems that the shotgun nerf has not done that much to nerf them from my game experience, I played a few games last night as Valkyrie and I would say it was a small nerf at best, I think I saved a video last night that I will upload late tonight where I downed a lot of people instead of killing them.
In this gif they are aiming down the sites on both shots against a 1 armor operator.
It is kinda hard to tell the range on it because Valkyrie ran away before the ping disappeared and Ash moved away from the door slightly so I would guess it is somewhere around 18 meters. We dont know what exactly the damage is at 18 meters so lets round up to 22 meters.
At 22 meters the gun is supposed to do 12 points of damage per shot. Valkyrie shot twice and each shot has 8 pellets per shot. So if every pellet hit Ash it would do a total of 192 damage, almost enough to kill her twice over. I cant seem to find the armor value negation again but there is no way that it would have negated enough damage to keep her alive.
How many pellets hit Ash? it is really impossible to tell from the gif but I will say Valkyrie was kneeling, not moving and was ADS for both shots increasing her accuracy. She was aiming at her chest which would give the best chance to hit with all pellets but lets be conservative and say only 5 of the 8 pellets hit her each time. That is still 120 points of damage, probably enough to kill her with a 1 armor score.
What is supposed to be normal? Ill say it again, shotguns cannot be completely useless at range but this is still indoors and most likely well under 25 meters.
In this scenario the nerf would have hardly affected the outcome. The damage stayed the same at 22m from before the nerf. The only difference is when you ADS this shotgun you get a .5% accuracy penalty added on from before the nerf.
If you are ADSing with a shotgun, kneeling while both you and your opponent is completely stationary/spinning around in place and you aim squarely at the chest, this is the outcome I would expect.

It also wouldn't be the first time when they released a patch but part of the new functionality didn't work. Have they commented yet?
Here is some more shotgun testing.
This is bullshit

Huge difference when ADS and hip firing

I think they need to look at some of the clipping issues again. I have seen it three times recently, twice before the patch and once after.

Of course not. We have to wait another month before hearing from them again. You know Ubi, one patch every month whether there are game breaking bugs or not.

Nice, I love it.
Ha ha! Great
Awesome! Too bad you didn't get the kill points.
