- Increased % of Mobile Respawn Beacon if carrying a teammate banner.
- This logic has an internal limit (cannot be repeated) and will not trigger if already carrying the item.
Now that you know the changes, and you've probably already played some. What do you think is an absolutely essential class to have in your squad?
New weapon: Nemesis
Lets take a look at the Nemesis without attachment:
Now with the best attachments:
In both cases, they have the potential to slay a red shield opponent with just 3 bursts. I'd say you better be using this gun on any short to medium range, because this gun is just OP right now. The one con I find with the Nemesis is that it consumes ammo like crazy.
Let me know what you think đ€:
