What are your thoughts on Season 1 and the changes that came with it so far?

    The GSK passive is going to be massive for headglitching wheter you attacking/defending objectives
  • @tianluyao795
    It appears that you can no longer shoot the spiderbot off of your face. I have been hugged by many spiderbots tonight and I couldn't shoot even a single one off of my face.
  • @Dquick3544
    They could simply change the intel suit to only the person using it can see the people or limit the amount of players per team that can select that character.
  • @TecraX2
    PSA: Apparently you need to activate the challenge for unlocking GSK, or your score won't count towards the 700 000 score required! (I noticed this when it still said "0/700000" after a couple of matches)
  • 2:10 I’ve been kicked for inactivity at least twice. There’s definitely a timer.
  • @de_STORM2
    Would have taken a flat jacket passive instead of the "no headshot"
  • @destinyb0nd
    I play on PS5, has anybody else been suffering frame rate drops with the new patch?
  • @irshaadh43
    Really need the shotgun's consistency to be improved
  • @rarerizzy1
    The Biovida is bugged! You can only use it like 3 times in a match and then it's greyed out no matter what you do for the rest of the match.
  • @HuntingHornet91
    Bunny hooping is still ridiculous overpowered and need's a proper nerf
  • @EMHearst
    Easiest way to balance the Intel suit is to make it ping the players. You can still see them through walls but you can’t track the like a wall hack. Ping them every 4 seconds like a submarine sonar.

    I’ve had multiple games in a row where I can’t call in the radar ability and where my grenades don’t explode while using the same faction
  • @Parad0x_SL
    Showing my support. Thanks for the good work you put out for this game so far!
  • @bobntg
    Pretty excited for "additional crash fixes"
  • @LawOfEvolution
    The amount of times I've ALREADY headshot the sht out of a GSk and lost the gunfight with them at less then 10hp is INFURIATING! And for some odd reason I'm dying even further behind cover then ever before!!! Love the game, but GOT DAM SON! AND yall be careful the sweats are out HARD today!
  • @sk84lyfe1211
    Looking forward to hopping on after I get off work!!
  • @admiralalyssa
    No matter how many nerfs you hit Spiderbot with, people are still going to use it until hijack can affect most abilities. Hijack is vicious against GSK but useless against Echelon, Cleaners, and ehh, against Libertad and Phantoms.
  • @jonahsmith8595
    Ive seen alot of people whine about the headshot passive but i think its cool that a game actually made balistic helmets actually stop a fucking bullet.
