I am pretty surprised with this patch.

I expected SMGs to get nerfed because they just melt right now. Nope did not happen.

Link :( New SMG

I did not expect them to nerf building even more.

quote:

Changes to building materials.
Wood wall starting health to 80 from 100.
Stone wall starting health to 80 from 90.
Wood wall max health to 150 from 200.
Metal wall max health to 500 from 400.
Metal build time to 25s from 20s.



People are reporting a nerf to explosions that was not in the patch notes though. Hopefully this is true.

So if I get two of these new smg's I will be an unstoppable death machine because you won't even be able to build fast enough it seems like.

So I think if I blast at you with the full 50 clip from the new smg I only have to hit you 9 times and that will take off full shield and health.

It has 50 bullets in the clip. You may only need 1.

Especially on console with aim assist and building input lag. Even if you spam walls you will still take damage.

You really think so?
I don't.
Nerfing any way to defend yourself against an SMG and explodes doesn't seem like a good way to take the game.

I actually have been averaging around a 4 k/d this week but I am abusing the SMG. Once people come around to how OP it is and stop using shotguns, it will be beyond frustrating.

Truth, just won a solo match using 2 of them. After I killed my 4th guy he was carrying a gold SMG. Used two to kill the next 3 to get my first solo win.

building is steadily being worthless. which is the most appealing aspect of the game.

I think it sounds good. You can't turtle up anymore and are forced to fight.

You can’t even turtle up as it is bc of explosives now. Imagine how it’s gonna be with everyone rocking double P90s

. Did you watch those clips? You can't even react let alone turtle up. It's now who sees who first and has the SMG. Unless you have terrible aim.


Epic is getting rammed about this right now.

And try rushing somebody who has a p90. No shot. Your ramps will go down before you even know what happened.

After watching Twitch all day at work, it definitely looks like the P90 is about to break this game.

Haven’t checked out the new update yet, but the p90 looks absolutely filthy. Very questionable decision on bringing that into the game and nerfing health on mats.
