i’m actually a type of garden snake but ok

but epicgoat and his crew of shawcopters don’t get any benefit from muzzle brake

i think the base showstopper is slightly overtuned, it’s a little too close to primary performance for comfort not that i won’t keep abusing it in the meantime :^)

How do people shoot precisely while moving?

after playing a while you learn that a center crosshair isn’t going to magically improve someone’s aim to the point where you can perceive it just by playing against them for someone who’s apparently a veteran expert you sure seem to have a poor grasp of the capabilities of different skill levels from your own “currently my stance is "We're not banning for crosshairoverlays, anything outside of the game. Don't go editing any of the images or any of the crosshairs ingame, don't start tweaking around with things. If you want to run something outside of the game, we can stop them but we are not going to police to that level of what's happening on your PC while you're playing the game. The trick is don't modify the files, but overlays can be used. “ thanks for playing source: mattscott q&a #2 op didn’t come in crying and raging, and unlike certain other idiot posters he also didn’t hackusate half the active population, it’s not really surprising to me that a constructive thread gets mostly constructive responses -
considering you can use a cj3 obeya almost exactly like an ir3 ntec, that's like being happy that you've only got tumors in your balls and they havent metastasized yet

its just experience for the most part - knowing what range a gun will reliably land shots at no matter what the crosshairs show, knowing when to push with riskier strategies (like using a gun when its inaccurate), how to manage spread and bloom in general, and how to effectively counter your opponents weapons unfortunately that means there's no real shortcut, you just have to put the time in to learn the game there are a few "pick up and play" weapons in apb that can be effective immediately, but they're generally balanced out by being worse (either statistically or through a lower skill ceiling) than more "skilled" weapons, so in the long run its better for you to rack up experience than cheese off guns with limited potential as for tips i think the biggest one would be to settle on a primary (i would suggest the ntec5 or the obeya cr762 so that you have more all-round capability, but really any gun will do) and really commit to mastering it, only then move on to another gun keep the starting fbw - its easily tied as the best secondary in the game, its free, its permanent, and the need to fire it at a set speed to get maximum effectiveness will help you when it comes to other weapons -
i'd wager a decent portion of the younger audience thinks its cooler to be a criminal than a glorified mall cop based on the new character screen descriptions, so there's likely a slightly larger amount of less-skilled players on the crim side that plus you naturally paying attention to one faction more than the other, either because they're opposition or teammates, is enough to give the impresssion of a significant imbalance

my prediction - most people using the ntec will just move to a different gun, which you will then also complain about being too good can't wait

lmao nice -
gifting was removed like 2 years ago, where you been m8
-
that's literally what i just said wtf
-
well then its a good thing you aren't in charge then
-
colorbots can ping on names (and name colored titles) as well since they can be the same color as the red crosshair
-
it’s especially annoying during the halloween event where a lot of the time it’s a several vs 1 situation, because there’s so many names clumped together its impossible to “just read them” - hard to tell if you’re shooting at a friendly with a red title or a red enemy buried in teammates
-
imo it’s likely that they’re going to do the server unification before we get any more news on the name wipe, otherwise there’s too much potential for conflicts
-
can it make everything greyscale except for a specific red color code? asking for a friend :^)
