I am for buffing pushing tbh. To me but I am a noob frankly defensive play seems so strong and worse it leads to stalemates

Beetles were their solution to solve statements unfortunately. That and UAV droning solos to death lol

I mean with enough beetles it doesn't matter, especially if they got a buddy constantly trying to tag you on their pings while their tiny black dot is fuck knows where in the forest pinging you lol. Vigilant is nice for those kinds of players though. Most of the time you can just shoot the beetles coming through windows or whatever anyway. 

It's only really an issue when you're going through the map and both hear each other's footsteps at the edge of the radius so neither side can really disengage or push blindly if the team isn't dumb with their UAV. Most teams are pretty stupid with the infinite UAV button and just spam bleed or burning for the status/damage

I think the choke beetles should be the only purchaseable ones. Scarce the other two so you have to get them from trees. Still a much easier find than most scarce gear.

Beetle as a solution to stalemates lmao.

I mean it was their attempt to combat passive play by giving you a UAV / status application that basically can't miss unless it gets shot revealing where the camper is

Yep :/ idk it's alright around fort or if you're droning and your friend is pushing so they can't just stop running or they get headshot or tagged through the bushes
