Everyone is gay in 2018.

You neither get reduced rewards for being in districts below your current threat, nor will you get in trouble (or rewarded) for being in a district above your treat threat level.

Personally Id rather stare at a female's behind than a male's... but thats just me.

naisu!

>not playing on army man settings

I love the raptors personally, slap HS3 on em and you can full auto / perfect ttk up to 40m... something no other AR can do. Theres even a small window just before and up to 40m where it can even out ttk the ntec (even further if rng is on your side). Plus unlike the ntec you can reliably hipfire the raptor in a cqc setting. To me at least that balances out both the longer ttk and the reduced range efficacy of the gun.

Yeah thats kind of how I explain the swarm too, sort of an in between AV / AP lmg. Not the best at either, but a nice middle ground. Im maybe not the best guy to ask as Im pretty sweaty when it comes to APB, so if Im going LMG its Euryale or gtfo. (Though if I didnt have the Euryale it would def be the N-SSW)

Sometimes I feel like my whole life is one big brain fart.

I see what you are saying, and it sounds like you are at least trying. That being said, you are also farming arrests against noobs. Of course, I wont sit here and argue that threat itself ISN'T broken, cuz it clearly is. Hopefully one day we will finally have a place for players stuck in that high silver / low gold position. tl;dr its more about threat being fucked than you being the bad guy

Shotguns arent getting nerfed tho. If anything, its a buff.

How did this go from talk about exploiting broken game mechanics to a "depends on what your definition of IS is" talk?

Honestly Im just jealous you have the courage to go non meta! I havent touched anything but the Oca ntec cr762 hvr in so long!!!

Its just thats the number one excuse I hear from dethreaters, "I dont dethreat on purpose, I just use bad guns / guns wrong to lose threat"... Im just not sure I buy that as a valid excuse.

thats not... you know what, nevermind. you seem happy and that puts you ahead of the game in my book. gg

I dunno... that sounds like intentionally keeping your threat low. Maybe not bannable, but definitely not cool.

I play mostly from work on a cobnles together pc. i74820k OC'd to 4.3 gtx770 100fps in fc and financial, 80fps or so in waterfront

Ram raiding empty districts is literaly abusing a broken game mechanic. Its going to be hard to get sympathy for someone preventing you from doing so.

You said it yourself, the Shredder is not meta. Its limited range (20m) and long ttk (0.84 seconds) make it a big underdog against most smg/shotgun/AR users. It does however do a fair ammount of hard damage which is nice, especially in car chases, and unlike other shotguns IR3 (raising range to 27m) is actually helpful given the shredder's tight spread. Most useful mods for the shredder are IR3 and mobility sling so you made a good choice with the preset version. As with any non meta weapon, you are going to have to outsmart your opp in order to get off the first shot(s) as you will be at a disadvantage in almost any even 1v1 situation. But as with anything, its important to have fun, and it sounds like you are so in a way, youve already won!

45 AP has the same range as all RFPs except the Fang, is more viable in cqc and has a faster ttk. Fang is a beast though, but rather than nerf Id like to see it available in game somehow. (that last bit is just opinion)

Its developer preference really. There is no "should".

You can do that with a file edit now. I dont use it, but its pretty common.

Are you not able to provide the info requested? And if not, why?

Congrats!

Yes.

APB will never retain new players until dethreaters are dealt with. That being said, Im not sure what this scoreboard is supposed to prove, no one is even gold. Also, if you feel you have actual evidence of dethreating, send it to support.
