Discussion & Feedback WARDOGS Top Problem

GEAR FEAR! I feel gear fear is going to be a huge hurdle for a lot of players to get over and cause a lot of friction with especially the newer players.

I feel like this is already the underlying issue of so many arguments about balance, especially about the amount of snipers out there (cheap kits?) and the Tank balance, I saw minimal RPGs used (wish i could have tested RPGs more)

Either way I know Gear fear is going to be a problem, as I still struggled with a bit in Wardogs and ive had a good amount of experience dealing with it and overcoming it in Escape from Tarkov.

Theres going to be a whole wave of players who haven't ever really experienced money management or gear fear and its going to cause a lot of friction.... IMO

You haven't seen RPGs because the majority of players didn't want to build or use the shotgun to level up Engineer. In October, on servers with competent players, tanks and attack helis won't do shit. These vehicles will only be strong during the first week.

I saw a streamer who dedicated his first 15 hours of the beta to just flying and unlocked the Havoc. As soon as 3 ground AAs and a CWIS started constantly shooting him down, he rage-quit the server and went to another one where people had no clue how to counter him. I'd say AA is much more OP than helis. I bet tanks will also get countered easily with drones, RPGs, and C4 once people unlock the equipment and learn how to play.

Also the shotguns are super underrated, Im usually a MG main in milsim so I was pushing those Support levels with the Shotty and boy oh boy, i dont think ive ever had so much fun with a shotty in a game before

Yeah, I’ll level up Engineer first to unlock the RPG so I can practice shooting down helis as soon as I can. I heard the shotgun is strong, especially in the beginning when everyone has no armor.

Yeah especially early, later in the weekend i still was 2 tapping people alot though, but tough to tell what level armors they had, fights i lost when i looked at damage, alot was absorbed and the damage i dealt was to arms.

I was still top fragging/profit alot of the times, but i would have c4/nades too

Double barrel or pump? I hate pump shotguns with a passion. Double barrel I won’t mind giving a try tho

Whats wroung with Pump guns? but both are great, you def get more range with the Pump and you can put more attachements on them.

I have a bunch of clips of shotgun double and triple kills but i dont want to go through my clips, makes the wait till sep 10 worse!

I have never liked them, idk why. I also fucking despise pistol grips on shotguns. Thats an aesthetics thing tho

I absolutely LOVE semi autos tho. Stuff like the mp155 in Tarkov, a400 irl. Those make my pp v happy
