![]() Full armor is still good to have to deal with chip damage, but its probably not going to hurt you to buy rifle lightarmor. Theres a huge difference between 100 and 125, but 125 to 150 is almost non-existent. Whats interesting about this is that it proves that the $400 armor is worth it. It is one of the worst abilities in the game, but it still has niche uses. The use wanes down the better players you face. It can mitigate misplays on high risk pushes, leverage advantages against easily conditioned players, it has use. You can use it to push through walls faster, kill reyna orbs faster, it lets you reload faster, switch weapons faster, and your spread also recovers faster. There are tons of rounds in my unrated games where it doesn't matter that I am standing on a beacon and they know where I am, because if you are pushing right after you place the beacon the sound is irrelevant anyway because you are making a lot more noise in other ways and forcing an engagement.īut I digress, my statement about the bulldog wasn't even really serious but legitimately if you have 2500 and you're forcing you buy a bulldog and 3 smokes, you can't afford a molly so why would you save 100? You're still going to need to save next round if you lose, and that 100 wont lead up to you needing a smoke because you'll meet that threshold after saving the next round. And I am not even arguing in terms of top-level balance - it could absolutely receive buffs (but does brimstone really need buffs?) I am making an anecdotal claim. Is it really a good strat? not really, but it does work once or twice before they catch on. When you place a beacon it doesn't mean you have to stand inside of it (as well as there being spots where you can throw it out of map, so there is no visual indicator and you still get the buff), I have definitely dinked people by tricking them into checking the wrong corner because of stim beacon. Just because it is niche doesn't mean its never useful, it means its infrequently useful and there is a difference there. I am saying in the niche situations where you are forcing and pushing an angle with your entire team it can help. I'm not saying you should buy stim beacon over anything else. I'm not saying stim beacon is not limited. I understand, it is bad most of the time and ill amend my earlier statement where I said it wasn't bad, I was wrong, and it is bad. And nowhere in my post did I say "you should use the bulldog with stim beacon instead of vandal/phantom' I was simply stating bad guns can be a little bit better with this ability and specific strats. Like you should never buy a stim in place of a smoke or w/e but if you're forcing and have an extra 100 I don't see a reason to not use it. I would argue Jett has potentially worse abilities anyway, in terms of raw utility and plan-execution for your team and winning rounds. ![]() Why do you think it's bad in every situation? Sure you can place them badly and the enemy can recieve the buff, and in a lot of scenarios its just not going to leverage much - but when you're holding specific angles or doing an eco rush it can be really helpful to turn the tide. Why the downvote? You can disagree with me without downvoting me, I thought I was contributing to discussion :) I don't think 10% increased rate of fire,10% faster reload, 10% faster weapon swap and 10% recoil spread recovery for up to 18 seconds for 100 creds is bad in every situation. I updated the graph and the table to the correct values. Correcting this does not change the relation between the guns, but it means that there was a linear error in the numbers. In all other scenarios the Phantom is faster.Įdit: Some users pointed out to me that in my calculation the very first shot would be fired with delay, which changes the amount of time needed to kill. The Vandal is always faster to kill at the longest distance of 30-50 m, but interestingly it is also faster at dealing 150 dmg in 15-30 m. The numbers presuppose hip-firing at full spray, with every bullet hitting the enemies torso.
