Are people really complaining about Pathfinder's grapple?
Made it to the final two squads solo. Both my teammates died pretty early, but they were useless anyway.
Some were in this thread a while ago. It's the most fun I've had in a video game since, well, Titanfall 2.
Yeah but a high loot area on the otherside of the map is just me and the team where we get all the loot we want without shitting ourselves
It's not because of your stats, most likely they quit because someone chose their favorite character, some players are that childish.
Also, you can change the stats displayed in your banner.
Made it to Top 3 as a two man because our third quit after I picked the character he wanted lmao
Won the next game :D

Having a character thats best use in only end game isn't really something that screams utility to me.
The game has been out for less than a week, any call for any nerf at all at this point is beyond ridiculous. Least of which is one of the least used characters. Pro gamers got the game early and they all virtually play the DPS heroes and no one picks the robot. And if it does evolve into a skill where high players dominate with him, then so what? You dont nerf something thats only applicable to 1% of the population. And making shit up? Youre the one asking for nerfs on the least used character because of speculation on your end, from a video of a dude making a noob look hilarious (seriously had he just waited for him to come off of the swing and not wasted his ammo thats a free kill). We shouldn't be asking to neuter high skill gameplay. We should actively be encouraging it.
Damn. Who needs portals when you can flank with a slingshot grapple.
Until you get wrecked by the people who are better at gunplay. 😉
That another reason people do it — to practice fighting other players. The fact is, you'll have to fight eventually.
I don't think I've ever landed in the high loot circle and not encountered another squad though. You're pretty lucky to see that in any game.
Played with some era folks and got another win. Fun matches for sure! I'm definitely going to add some more from the discord group.
Best part of this game is reading comments or watching streams and nobody seems to agree on their favorite guns. I feel their is something for everyone and proves most guns are viable and diverse.

No. Your squad should be supplying you with guns, ammo and other items.
Lifeline ultimate is very nice here I think.
But it appears not many pick that char. I kind of like being support.
There is nothing quite like gearing up, making the 400 mile trek to the circle with 4 squads left, fucking up your air strike, missing all your shots and dying.
I think that match was 20 minutes of nothing and 2 minutes of being terrible at the game.

Why does it matter what BFV is? If it's better with lower player counts, it's better with lower player counts.
Is Wraith incredibly buggy for anyone else? If you're downed and take your ult portal, you can't put your shield up. And I got another bug where I took my portal and my shotgun emptied its ammo and I couldn't reload it for the remainder of the game.
That's the BR way. I stopped playing Pubg because it was 40 minutes of nothiong and 2 minutes of being bad.
At least this loop is cleaner.
As a Pathfinder main I'm seeing a lot more people use him in the last day or two, which I assume is people realizing how deceptively powerful his tools actually are.
Luckily I've fallen back on Caustic as a secondary, and really enjoying him. Just won a game as him a little bit ago and the ult is so worth it.

In retrospect I would've gone with Caustic over Mirage. I just find his abilities useless and entirely situational.
He's definitely my best guy - got 2 of my 3 wins using him. His grapple really is insane and if you use it right you can get crazy drops on enemies when they least expect you.
Caustic is a more fun, better voiced, cooler looking, and way rarer than Mirage. But yeah, he's for funsies not serious play.
This is probably old but still great.
There's more going on with him than first glance. Grappling hook momentum can help you cover a building's worth of distance like spiderman. I'm not good at it yet myself. But Moonmoon's maining him and his hook swings are pretty on point. Also Zipline recharging every 2-3 minutes is sweet.

Winning in a duo with a random (other person quit) has been my most satisfying experience playing this game yet.
My favourite gun after the G7 Scout.
If I die, whoever killed me always gets a lot of light rounds.
Pathfinder:
-Can get incredible flanks and overlooking angles, making nades and DMRs super deadly in his hands
-Can move laterally, not just vertically, so you can pull yourself into cover or along the ground to catch up
-Can pull enemies into you
-Swinging is not as hard as it appears with a little practice
-Zip line charges so fast that you will never need accelerant and can just give them to your team
-Zip line allows you to access a ton of places people will not think to look
-It negates tons of height advantages/terrain disadvantages in places like Bridges or Cascades, allowing great getaways or approaches that are otherwise impossible. Pinned down in a house outside the next ring? It's zip line time!
-The range on the zip line is incredible
-You can even use it for something as mundane as speeding up the whole team into the next ring, because it'll charge up again anyway before you know it

I'm having the same experience. Only had one game with a good squad where we got 2nd and actually had a fun time.
I feel like if Respawn didn't want wall running and all that they wouldn't think that sort of maneuver should be possible either.
Can you do this with a controller, or is it PC only? I saw the other video linked and he uses "a strafe button," so I gotta know!
What console are you playing on? I'm on PS4 and am down to play right now.
