Its in a better place now. Have fun
New characters, new guns, new ammo types, new hop ups, new map, new pinging options and still the most satisfying gun play in a fps. That feeling when your aim is on and shields are popping followed by bodies dropping is hard to beat. Welcome back. One of us! One of us!
Thank you, my men. I look forward to playing it today. If anyone is on PC I would be delighted if we could play together.

Love the design and voice of Revenant, but his ult seems way too situational and has a high risk of backfiring. Just one Caustic gas trap and you will die at the totem if you are teleported back.

I like the weapon changes. Havoc' recoil is much more manageable now and that they added L-Star as a regular weapon.

Thats why you have to be smart in where you place it. So far so good for me

It definitely has one of, if not the, most satisfying hit sounds and hit markers in the genre which results in kills feeling great.

Yep, it's a decision you have to make where you might want to put the totem before the fight begins.

A strategy that's been working for me so far is placing the totem on high ground above a fight or opposing team. Activate then jump into the fray, this way you have relative safety to heal back up if you die in ghost form. Important to remember that it deactivates your shield when you turn ghost so your shield will reactivate when you teleport back. Always make sure your shield is full before throwing the totem up.

Exactly. Last night I wiped a squad in shadow form. How? Places a totem inside one of the open containers, went inside the building and threw all the nades I have. Yes I died with them but that was just my shadow form and I went back to my totem ;)😎
 
The modified maps feels more..... compact to me. And games end way quicker. I think part of it is because everyone is dropping the central tower. But I also feel like the play area has been reduced a bit. I dont think I have had an isolated drop yet.

I'm liking S4 more than S3 so far. Map feels less open and gives you more chance to heal up or escape a building. Stupid annoying towers are gone.
World’s Edge before the change was tooooo open for my liking which unfortunately made me skip most of the season from the beginning

Returned when there was 2 weeks left just to finish the BP. Imagine I was level 48 and in 2 weeks exactly I hit 110. That was hectic af and anyone would’ve took a break from the game after all that

I didn’t. I saw the changes and got more pumped to hop in and murder people. So I feel you mate

Bruh I can't do it anymore... I love Caustic but I can't play him on this map. At least with Wattson my true defensive measures make a difference. 😭

I want to play Assault but I don't like any of them. I don't wanna play Redditbot. I might have to play Bloodhound once they get a buff.

World's Edge v1 was very open and the terrain uninteresting save for a big boulder here and there to take cover behind, but enemies knew exactly where you were healing up and would often rush you – but surprise! – you get sniped across the map before healing up and see another squad pushing your way, and then another, and another! It was too easy for enemies to spot you and your teammates and gauge the entirety of a situation from afar and whether they should push in or not. World's Edge v2, while third party thirst is still there, brings back some of that organic cover we found in S1 that doesn't make us constantly feel like we got a target on our head as we run across the open. Enemies can't easily wait around the doorways and throw traps around doors X, Y, and Z in many cases because you can jump out of the blown up building at any floor. I'm enjoying it so far; I hope I continue to enjoy it. But since I played only a few hours I might look at this post later and laugh. But these are my feelings so far.

Tfw I started off the game playing Bloodhound but transitioned to Caustic/Wattson and in S3 picked up Crypto.

Revenant like Bloodhound is picked a lot by stupid people because he looks cool but they don't "get" him.

I'm not sure I "get" him either tbh. His tactical ability doesn't seem too convenient : blocking other characters' tacticals is not so useful for close range firefight, and unlike Wattson's thingy or Gibraltar's shield you can't rely on it to counter ultimates.
As for his own ultimate, it's a major gamble. Not only will you put yourself in a more fragile state, but you won't know what will be surrounding you when resurrected.

A few more wins under my belt and really enjoying this season - I find myself actively doing the challenges (the fuck can I get the Gibraltar ult kill 😖).

Worst thing when playing with randoms is they often think it’s smart to split miles away and then spam ‘enemy spotted’ when they inevitably get downed. Team game ffs.

next support character needs two fucking leashes so i can corral these dopers into the sun

Yeah I was thinking that last night. ‘Regroup’ would be a sensible addition, I can’t believe they don’t already have it.

Im also cool with the dog walking support character though 😂
 
Good luck to me finishing Wattson’s challenge. Gotta charge up shields with the Ult till I hit 2000....

Working on that one myself at the minute. I've had terrible luck with team mates since this season started. Disconnecting as soon as they're downed, running off by themselves and saying nothing til they get dropped then spamming the revive me button, not pinging anything at all, no effort to revive team mates and so on. Still haven't gotten a win yet since it began. I got 8 kills off the drop earlier, one mate DCd right ater he was downed, I revived the other one about 3 times in between fighting off 3 other teams then as I killed the last guy in the area my mate quits as I'm about to pick him up. I wonder why people bother playing team games when that's how they play. Oh well, back to the grind. Happy hunting.

does your own shield count?
in that case I would just cheeze it.

get a bunch of ark stars, get a purple shield, place your ultimate and break your shields over and over again.

100hp charged per fill-up.

didn't realize that hitting someone with revenant's special actually does a decent amount of damage, pretty fun putting a clip into them and then finishing them off with a scorpion fireball

I’m a fully paid up member of this club too. Trouble is, it’s rubbing off on me. If I get downed because my team mates are scattered I’m more likely to bail out now, instead of giving them a chance. Frustrating.

ah, thats kind of shit. guess i had softened them up decent enough before that

the Sentinel needs to be buffed big time, shouldn't take 3 sniper shots with a bolt action to down someone.... either reduce the amount of time between shots, or make it do more damage when you hit someone

Two headshots will do it, I think it does 130 per, no matter if it's battery charged or not.
