5 Methods to Regenerate Health Faster in Black Ops 6!

[@terrancegreen5383]

As they should. That was stupid and should never come back.

[@brutace9219]

Ngl I liked it. Once you got used to it it was better imo cause you didn't have any regen delay. It also made it where you had to decide whether it was more important to have ammo or health. Say you ran a shotgun secondary, you didn't need to reload cause you could 1 shot anyone that rushes you, but if you had an SMG it might be different. Also, only saying cause you brought up bo4... That games version of csgo needs to return. Idgaf about kill order, or vip, or any of these new game modes they try to introduce every year. That game mode was perfect. Edit: I also like battlefield and it's had a couple games with manual healing, it's just limiting it like bo4 and bf did. Always makes me play a healer to get infinite heals.

[@KyddBurton]

This gave me an idea. Perk Greed, Enforcer (which I usually run Scavenger, Assassin, and Bankroll), Guardian, Stim-Shot, War Cry. As an objective player, it covers me in a lot of ways. getting extra ammo as I move between objectives, earning extra score and dampening score streak costs to support the team and what not. Guardian will help if I take damage on objectives and I’m not in a position to get a kill fast enough to start the regen myself, and War Cry would give a brief period where I would not need to rely on my stim shot as much when taking damage outside of an objective/during a gun fight I’d rather evade than challenge. I really love this style of videos from you, I’ve been watching since MWII midgame cycle, and I really gotta admit that your channel has helped me get significantly better at this game. Honestly I hope that Treyarch can pull a Sledgehammer style post launch redemption because this is fundamentally a good game, and you’re adding a lot of great value to the space of helping people get better at it.

[@SirSoap]

It feels awful having to take the garbage red perks just to get quick fix, I really wish they would just add a nerfed version as a perk.

[@User-be5yj]

And make it a blue perk in tier 3 🗿

[@Artiick]

And it aint't even quick fix cos it's delayed.

[@xxxthwagdrakexxx4672]

bruiser should be buffed to also give health regen if you get a kill with a lethal (unless its a direct impact then it should also give extra score) but still give extra score for tomahawk kills by 50 points (and even more if you got a bankshot, held someone hostage with bonus meat shield health of +25, or a successful execution) and it allowing any and all health regen methods to stack linearly on top making the health regen rate get better with each melee, direct lethal kill, meat shield or execution up to 2x the speed

[@Helloyousilverdevil]

Isn’t that what perk greed’s for? It’s between that and gunfighter for me, kinda solves the problem imo.

[@Jonrocks7]

Hey scavenger and bankroll are decent, double time and bruiser are pretty good if you do melee weapons alot as well.

[@autofigure00]

I love to use the perk that recharges your special faster and stores 2 charges and then ammo packs to refill stimshots and semtexes, could use gearhead but also getting ammo for your gun helps a lot with those long streaks (and you're less at the mercy for the stimshots / semtex to recharge vs having an ammo pack stored for a life when you need it).

[@deezanutta7919]

You rule man! Keep up the great work.

[@jameslevine4284]

I watched this and I tried it out. I was a big fan of guardian for me and war cry for my team. I feel like we won more and had a few good pushes because of that healing factor.

[@PhillyNichols]

I’m big on the stim shot and guardian for domination and hardpoint. I’ve tried bruiser when I got my knife gold. And I just mastered the 100 kills with war cry active. I think there are more valuable field upgrades, but the assist points are nice.

[@nealerickson8063]

Great info! I play a lot of objective in Multi. player. So I'm gonna take a look at Guardian.

[@zero11010]

I know you don’t normally spend a lot of time in hardcore. Flack jacket in hardcore means you live when most explosions hit you. That would make heal time applicable (mostly as it relates to the next explosive thrown). This actually comes up in objective based games. You can live through 3 or even 4 grenades being thrown at the objective before you’re so shot, or before multiple explosives go off too close together. I sometime run guardian along with flak jacket even in hardcore for this reason. I’m not recording it and timing the difference in healing … but, it feels useful.

[@SNEAKexe]

Using perk greed for guardian while having the enforcer specialty sounds interesting

@ lol! Yep. That’s where I’ve been using it on. Teammates all seem to love it when I use it.

[@zero11010]

It’s a lot better on medium maps. On the small maps people don’t have anywhere to run. So, you get less from that benefit. On the small maps people tend to die pretty quickly. Most people aren’t going to live for 15 seconds while also killing multiple enemies. So, you’re not getting a lot of points per usage. You’re more likely to get all 5 allies and the score for that, but you’re missing out on the kill streaks due to the frantic pace. Most people who push rapidly get caught out and don’t really have a place to sit an get the healing before jumping back in. So … you get less from the speed boost. You get less from the score boost. You get less from the healing boost. Yeah, small maps aren’t great for war cry. Medium maps are ideal.

[@zero11010]

War cry (with gearhead) and guardian are the ones I lean on the most. When doing camo with melee I used a lot of bruiser and liked it.

Finally been asking for this 😢

[@milkman2011]

Because health is a core gameplay mechanic that is so vital to an individual player’s experience, I’m disappointed to see any form of healing that isn’t tied to keeping yourself in danger to get the effect. Guardian makes sense, you’re holding down a flag in domination, you’re constantly in danger. Enforcer and the stim are way too easy to use. War cry is only occasionally so I don’t mind it. And while I like the idea of bruiser, it has the same issue as enforcer and makes it too easy to use a one hit kill melee on small maps to be cheesy

[@CosmicLunaa]

I just run perk greed with Bruiser for Enforcer, Guardian, a Stim, and War Cry just so I can reduce how often I die. It isn’t practical but a silly change of pace.

imo the stim shot is a bit OP. The fastest healing time on command just at the press of a button, for a tactical equipment slot? Why is it so much faster than perks, a COMBAT SPECIALTY, field upgrades, etc. it's by far the best tactical especially considering the pace of the game

[@zero11010]

@@tomasavi6490 you get one. Then it’s gone. Enforcer, and guardian keep going. Warcry is 15 seconds AND potentially a heal for 5 of your allies too (haven’t looked to see what happens in 10v10). Is it OP? If you already lived, it gets you back to full a little bit quicker. But, it costs you your tactical slot. Several of the tacticals are hugely impactful. Wall hacks for 1-3 of the enemy team for 2-3 seconds and YOUR WHOLE TEAM can see them through walls? That’s pretty great. Plus 2 uses per life. Plus it’s a pretty substantial score boost. That’s good. Blind a group of enemies defending a location to give you the drop on them which may be the edge you need to take out multiple defenders. I mean … that’s pretty great. Decoy is basically just for score. But, it’s a LOT of score. You can kinda use it like an aural smoke screen. Shock charge is the most versatile of the tacticals. It’s basically a cross between proximity alarm and concussion grenade. It’s really impactful! Plus, you can get bonus score for the stuck medal if you want to. How is stim over powered? It helps with … the second firefight. Never the first. Unlike the other tacticals it’s also MUCH weaker in hardcore than core.

[@omnomomnii]

I love having multiple options but I feel like stims need to go. They feel bad to play against, and seem super inconsistent. Lessens the skill gap overall, and doesn’t seem to have much of a drawback.

[@zero11010]

@@omnomomnii in what way do they seem inconsistent? In what way do they lesson skill gap? Follow up question: how is lessening skill gap a negative thing? Doesnt have a draw back? None of these have a draw back. The draw back is if you use the stim you don’t get anything else for your tactical. It’s not much of a score generator. It doesn’t really help anyone else (unless it actually made the difference in your next firefight and rounds you fired after you would have died were the ones to make a difference).

[@omnomomnii]

@ hey sorry for the late response, great questions. They seem inconsistent when playing against them in the since they add unknowns. The timing is off, you can have someone stim 1, 2, 3 times in the middle of a fight. Feels bad playing against them in that sense and then using it, it doesn’t feel super rewarding. Some players have multiple stims depending on builds so counting how many they have isn’t consistent or reliable for allowing you to push and have the upper hand after stunning, nading them, and then pushing, just for them to be full HP. They lesson the skill gap by allowing someone to have poor positioning, peek out and eat shots, stim, peak again and eat more shots, stim yet again, and then finally get a kill. It just adds more to a sloppy “w key” playstyle that allows worse players or less knowledgeable players to get away with more. It was the same way in BO4, and if you played barebones on that game it felt far better with them removed. There isn’t much of a draw back compared to using an entire perk spot or using it in place of a trophy system. You lose a stun or flash grenade in place of something that wins you a fight for free by just pressing a single button. You at least have to aim grenades and stuns. It makes for jarring experiences on the receiving end and does nothing but promote poor play-styles with a get out of jail free card. Thats all I’m trying to present. They feel better now as opposed to when the game first released. You would shoot someone, they would stim and instantly challenge you while still healing. Sometimes you get the notification while shooting them they stimmed but at other times there isn’t a notification. It seems like the window to show if they stimmed or not is very slim. Again adds to a poor experience on the end of the person shooting. Meanwhile you have someone healing to full 1-3 different times in a single fight immediately. It’s just a timing inconsistency similar to tac sprint being a bad thing for COD in my opinion as well. It’s fine to have different things added to a game but when they mess with overall core mechanics such as timings in SnD or a gunfight, it feels really bad.

[@zero11010]

@@miguelmaharaj2247 what about it? It heals you to full immediately when you take someone out and also automatically stands you up. It seems to automatically equip a basic 9mm pistol in your hand regardless of your equipped secondary. It wouldn’t combine with any other healing effects.

[@zero11010]

@@dillonc7955 no. Disorienting is the tactical insertion. The morphine injector is fine. When you spawn from the tactical insertion you are abruptly in another place and need to figure out where on the map you are (if you dropped it 5 seconds ago it’s not an issue, but if you dropped it a couple minutes ago … well, I certainly forget). Next you need to figure out who is near you. Next you need to figure out where the spawns are which determines where people would be coming from because spawns may have flipped since you dropped it. With morphine injector you’re just suddenly prone with a pistol. There’s no weapon swap animation. It doesn’t move your camera (other than lowering you to the ground). Maybe having a semi auto firing weapon can be disorienting. If you play kill order you get used to the morphine injector thing pretty quickly because you end up in that same last stand position. The only real difference between the two is taking out enemies while the HVT doesn’t revive you. And, in both situations you can be revived by teammates. Well, and when you’re the HVT it feels like as you get dropped over and over the time you have to be revived gets shorter and shorter. Also, morphine injector is stronger in hardcore than core … as an aside.
