Just the basic RPG. I used them to push enemies back during my ability cooldowns because my traps were petty weak when i first started Twine.
punishment was maybe the wrong word to use, but it does discourage getting/staying in a fight when all you often get out of them is wasted resources & damage suffered, which I don't personally think is a good thing in a battle royale shooter like this. And I'm not just talking about deliberately getting into fights but also running into enemies by chance and being forced to fight. And even then, +50 health after a kill isn't all that huge of an advantage after fights but it makes them a bit more sensible. It just helps that you aren't necessarily a one-shot to a distant stray bullet hitting you by accident.
Pretty sure they last quite awhile. Maybe the whole season or at least close to it.
Its perfectly fine, I know it doesn't give the same satisfaction but try to just play to get better, not to get the wins. You'll end up with more wins on the long term.
Just telling you why it might be worth it to some to keep older mats.
Nah, Epic has offered multiple starter packs in the shops before. I wouldn't be surprised to see Cobalt and Laguna both on sale by mid-season.
I still play that way more than I should; I really ought to push myself to do more firefights and get better, but I don't like the long waits of "exiting the match, go to the home page, wait for matchmaking, wait in the lobby" over and over. A quick "quit and find new match" feature would be awesome.
I finished it last night by playing Disco Domination, landing at a pirate camp, then dragging a cannon to one of the enemy dance pads and firing like a hypercaffeinated monkey. Had to drag a cannon across Loot Lake one match, grrrr...
Team based objective modes are always like this it seems. I have had more then one game of disco where it was basically soley down to me that my team won because i was pretty much the only person working to capture a dance floor. All you would used to see is the majority of people fighting in the centre zone, unable to capture the floor while the surrounding floors are left empty.
They are but I felt like this go-around it's been especially bad. Though I'm not sure if I've ever played Disco this early in the new challenge-week, so maybe it evens out a bit later on as people get challenges done and a bit more people start focusing on the game mode instead of challenges. Like, yeah, there are some who goof around but there's been at least half of the team who try to actively go for the goal and the dance floors are actively conquered, defended and lost. Now people were just in an all-out war at Dusty's mountain, Salted etc. and a combined number of maybe 5-8 people from both sides were trying to conquer dance floors & shit.
I just dont understand why they bother to go into these modes if they arent farming challenges. I suppose its probably down to having respawns in that mode but even squads can be bad for this stuff.
How far in are you? I wish i had done more before the hero rework, but I'm glad i got through at least 4.
Agree for the most part. All of my attempts to do Getaway with randoms were spectacular failures, though admittedly much of that was probably due to my inexperience with it. I did get one good game with a random squad, it boiled down to me and one surviving teammate, and we supported each other to the point where we ended up with the last two jewels. Unfortunately we couldn't get away, I failed to reach the van and we got pinned down by a guy with an SMG.
The problem is that there's no good incentive to dance in Disco -- you make yourself a target, you can't get any eliminations or challenges done, so it's seen as a loser job by most players. Epic should reactor it so the "Best Dancer" gets a bunch of Battle Stars or XP, give people an incentive to actually dance instead of just shooting each other. Team Rumble works because the victory goal is something everyone wants to do anyway...
As mentioned above, Disco Domination. Grab a sniper rifle, find a dance floor on the dividing line, then perch nearby and wait for someone to start dancing. If you can get a heavy sniper rifle from a vending machine that makes it easier, those are almost guaranteed one-hit kills.
If you're having trouble, you can try the SSD helper discord. Make sure you read the rules if you do intend to ask for help.
The cannons are pure trash. The only time I ever use one (outside of a challenge) is when I'm at a pirate camp and I want to move away very quickly. Never see anyone use them in regular play, either.
Try to hide in a pirate tower and get someone coming by. Did mine near divot and got it first go.
