so the new game meta is Drumgun/Pump/Shadow Bombs/Minis/Gliders. Don't bother building with wood anymore either.
God damn the drum gun is annoying. Holy shit, who in the hell would want this?! Tilted and part of retail gone, drum gun back? Fuck
It's all because of the kids who started playing in season 6 and heard pros joking about it ever since wanting to see for themselves. it really sucks.
my friends and i were hovering above tilted during the event and screamed when it was destroyed lol we were also hacking away at the plane trying to bring it back, while everyone else in the game was surrounding the drum gun. i dont get it! it's just a gun, use another one! planes being back would be way more interesting!
Completed all the challenges for this season bar the last 5 battle stars, which should not be that difficult to do in Team Rumble tonight, so I'm ready for a new season! Something will definitely be happening with Greasy Grove as a huge part of the Polar Peak cliff is cracked after the Volcano eruption hit it. Kinda want Tilted and Retail to be re-built but even bigger with taller buildings!
It's insane how much the skillset varies in this game depending on time/region/platform. I'm watching a stream VOD from someone who plays controller/console weekdays in the late morning/early afternoon on NA-West... every singe person playing looks like the worst player I've ever seen. I can't see a single person at midnight on NA-East without a giant triple ramp + 90s coming at me, but this guy literally stood low ground, flat footed, and unguarded at Tilted shooting at multiple people who would just jump around without building for 10+ seconds before finally dying. I'm absolutely shocked right now. He's just a normal dude with 15-20 viewers/stream but he pops off 20 bombs and countless wins while building like he stopped playing in season 4.
huh. apparently there's a purple pump in the battle pass video so maybe the gold and purple pumps are considered a separate gun from the blue and green pumps
It looked different from the picture of the new one and similar to the old pump but we won't know until the servers come back up haha The loading screen shows a new version of the heavy shotgun is coming back as well as a tac AR.
Everything I've seen for this season seems like it sucks, are there any good additions at all in your opinions?
Yeah I don't know it definitely changed the way the game is played. It's going to take a lot of getting used to without a doubt. Not being able to one pump anymore is massive. Especially with the drum gun back in game. I think the floating sky bases are kinda cool. A lot of metal and some decent loot... They're good for rotation. You can cover up the lift areas with builds so it prevents people from dropping down on you without a rift or a well placed launch pad. It really sucks knowing there is an extreme high ground at any point on the map though. I actually like the skins. I didn't care for them when I saw the lo res leaks but I think they're cool. There are some really cool dances too. Vaulting treasure maps is great. Retail is wild. I really really wanna see a tournament end over the new mall there. That place would be absolute chaos in the mid-late circles.
I got a 7 kill win today and all I used was a grey tac and a green drum gun. The last shot to finish the game was like a 30m tac shot for 3 damage after I lasered them with the drum gun a few seconds earlier.
