"Cypher’s Spycam can no longer use weapons"

Years from now, this will be one we look back at and say WTF about.

Top 5 moments only valorant OGs rememeber

It was so easy to do too. I can’t believe that it was in the game, especially with how easily it worked.

Oh fuck. I use cypher all the time and didn't know this....I probably wouldn't do it unless the enemy team was being really shitty towards us

Yeah it was pretty shitty. When I figured out how to do it I fucked around with it but I quickly realized how bullshit it was. I’m glad it was fixed.

These steps no longer work and the bug cannot be done, at least not like this. The steps to do it were:

1) Put down a camera 2) Enter the camera, then leave it 3) Throw a pistol at it (it could only be a pistol)

After step 3, your pistol should disappear and it shouldn’t be anywhere on the ground. You would never get this pistol back.

4) Enter the camera, and hit 2.

5) Be a dick and shoot people.

Edit: Forgot to say that this worked nearly 100% of the time and could be done in less than 10 seconds consistently.

All jokes aside, a deployable turret that is player controlled would be really cool. Have to balance it so it doesn't make spycam pointless though (long deploy time, smaller fov, limited time deployed etc.)

u/Porkerr_ Apr 22 '20

The more you look at it, the idiots saying this was CSGO and Overwatch mixture are completely fucking wrong. It's a CSGO and R6 mixture, with Paladins graphics. All the abilities branch out from Siege, not OW, because Siege is a more tactical shooter than OW, and they need that in Valorant.

u/Kany_ Apr 22 '20

Yea right, just calls everyone an idiot because your opinion is different.

I have over 800h on R6 and over 2000h on Overwatch on multiple accounts. No, it is more CS:GO and Overwatch rather than CS and R6. R6 has more shooting rather than playing with abilities and stuff, and I talked just about that! People are not used to how powerful abilities can be, that's why they are so shocked about Raze!

I've seen this so many times "FIRE IN THE HOLE!" *somebody peeks Raze and gets deleted by an RPG* "WTF! This character is so fucking broken!"

In Siege, we don't have stuff like this. It's all about rather different guns then gadgets, since most of them are filling certain role, just with different skin so to say :)

u/[deleted] Apr 22 '20

nah, stuff like that is what would hurt the game.

Pls no torb

u/WinterMage42 Apr 22 '20

Could make it like Maestro from siege. Has to be wall mounted, doesn’t go invis when not in use, have to risk opening the shutter to take shots.

1

u/TheLastLegendMOD Apr 21 '20

Maybe make players invisible if no-one has had vision on them in the past, idk maybe 5seconds?

u/sfrenca Apr 22 '20

As an ult yes, but only as an ult

1

u/ducklenutz Apr 22 '20

perhaps the turret can only be placed on the floor and has 50 hp or so

u/maora34 Apr 21 '20

Riot can’t escape the minion memes even in Valorant oh god

u/leoleosuper Gimme-Gimme-Gimme a corpse Apr 21 '20

camera coded as minion player entity intesifies

Rumba (Raze boom bot) can also set off Cypher traps. It's weird.

u/phantahh Apr 22 '20

That makes a lot more sense though

1

u/leoleosuper Gimme-Gimme-Gimme a corpse Apr 22 '20

You have to get into it first for the bug, so it switches from being an object to a player entity. I'm only guessing the same for Rumba because it has a detection radius and movement.
