I was talking specifically about the Wingman at that point. "Wingmanning" is when people just have a blue/purple heavy mag and just sling as many shots at you as they can. It's basically what makes noobs feel pro and what can get you murder fucked with the slightest bit of RNG on the shooters side.
Re45 Disruptor/ P2020 hammerpoint was a really good combo but much less effective beyond 100m. End game, though? Yeah. That's what you wanted to have almost every game.
Some huge patch note changes:
Executioner Perk: Previously, the Gold Armor perk, “Executioner”, gave a full shield recharge on successful completion of a finisher. In Season 3, all Legends will have this perk meaning--finishers will fully recharge your shields regardless if you have Gold Armor equipped or not. Gold Armor will now have a Guardian Angel perk that is detailed below in the Loot / Meta Changes section.
NEW HOP-UP:Anvil Receiver
- Attaches to: Flatline and R-301.
- Rarity: level 4 (gold).
- This hop-up empowers semi-auto mode; it offers highly increased damage, but at the cost of reduced rate of fire and double ammo per shot
G7 Scout
New Legend battle chatter - Legends now have voice lines that will call out when your squad is being third-partied. This is triggered if you take damage when recently damaged by another living squad
Those are my big take aways. Shield recharge on execute for everyone is really big, means you'll want to squad fight because people will be much more likely to thirst. Anvil Receiver takes two of the best guns and makes them better. Not sure about that. Scout is going to be a monster and with the double tap (not listed above) mod you'll be doing 68 damage to an unshielded target per trigger and you can fire the scout like 3-4 times a second. That's a lot of damage output. The third party callouts is great because that was the fucking meta of this game. Jumping weak unsuspecting teams for easy kills and loot while they're engaged. They also apparently addressed this by make the map like 30-50% bigger than the last one. Allows more use of DMR and Sniper type weapons and less shotgun/R99 rushdown meta.
Watching people play right now and I think Crytpo needs to be nerfed pretty soon here. His drone is just a permanent Bloodhound ping. You can't have a character that basically does what another character does but just plain better. Bloodhounds ult is still good, but Crypto is a must right now. They've already establishing meta with Crypto in slot 1 and it's probably Wraith/Gib for the second and third slots. Wraith for her portal play and evasion and Gib for his massive Ult and his shield now allows you to fast heal inside of it. I'd honestly say Crypto/Gib/Caustic would be pretty sick, but at least fucking Watson is out of it with Crypto's drone nullifying her dumb ult with his EMP.
Looking forward to playing, didn't get a new video card yet, but I can't play until tomorrow due to EQ raids (LUL). But hopefully the map is nice and it's not like when PUBG added Miramar and everyone was just sitting in windows shooting from all directions like giant pussies.
