The GSK "tactical camera" is actually a really welcomed trophy system

[@brendonvineyard8620]

he doesn't know what he's talking about. its not a camera, its just a trophy system. its from a R6S operator by the name of jager, and all it does it shoot lethals out of the sky.

[@birbdad1842]

I dont think lethals are that much of an issue. Without cod like perks and no ability to resupply them I find them easier to deal with. No spamming possible

[@maxk92]

@@birbdad1842 Yeah that is true, but it gives a lot of play for objective players like me that often get naded on point. We'll see how powerful it will be. Hope it doesn't get out of hand, but they did a pretty good job so far, so I'll keep trusting them.

[@dogalolo]

Hey Ace! Thanks for covering the patch notes. Although, I should mention, if you're not familiar with Rainbow Six: Siege, I can understand some confusion about GSK--their Riot Shield, which looks to be their Ultra, is based on the gadget used by Blitz in R6. His shield is equipped with a very bright light that can flash enemies, so I imagine it will function the same in XDefiant. Not to mention, we can see the GSK operator shoot over the shield in the reveal trailer. Their other ability isn't a tactical camera--it's actually based on the gadget that the character Jager uses. It's functionally just a trophy system, but based on the kind of Active Protection system that is used on tanks and other heavy vehicles, so this class will probably be the premier grenade catch of XDefiant. Their other ability, though, which looks to have three charges before needing to recharge, doesn't look to have been shown at all in the reveal, but I'd be willing to guess it's based on the operator IQ from Siege. Her gadget lets her see electronics through walls, so maybe this will allow the player to see deployed abilities (maybe even including an active Intel Suit?) within a certain radius! Again, great video, but I wanted to shout out my take on the reveal as well!

[@elixir478]

I hated it in siege and I am probably gonna hate it here lol

[@CWafflin]

I think I saw in the full trailer that the other ability for GSK are 3 barbed wires (potentially electrically charged)

[@asterii_]

I think the other tactical is Bandit's barbed wire, at 8:20 , 8:24 and 8:40 you can see barbed wire to the left of the screen. I think it fits the theme of GSK being more focused around area and utility denial

[@E-Money719]

From my experience, 99% of gunfights with bunnyhoppers are over before the new aim penalty will kick in. The bunnyhopping nerf feels like it did practically nothing. The best way I can think of to nerf it to a place where it's not completely unviable but also not too overpowered is to obviously get rid of air strafing (changing directions while midair, as Ace talked about in a previous video), but also introducing a slight penalty to jumping itself. In past COD games, I recall there being a penalty to spam jumping where multiple consecutive jumps would be less powerful than the initial jump, with a short jump height and slower momentum. Maybe only one of those needs to take effect since this is a fast-paced game, but I'm confident that the nerf we got today won't be enough to really resolve the issue. Edit: According to the devs, it's something that's already in the game, but for some reason I haven't ever noticed it once.

[@jcaashby3]

Yeah I have not played but I was hoping they just made it so each jump was less and less height like you had limited stamina. One jump is 100 percent elevation ...the next is 50 percent and lower and lower until your barely getting off the ground.

[@dbrainstorm]

There is very much a system like the devs mentioned, but it kicks in about twice as slowly as you'd see in a typical CoD. It's very much not a factor in most gunfights unless both players really can't aim.

[@t.o.a.s.t.e.r]

Womp womp get good

[@shannonjones8877]

Bunnyhopping nerf seems pretty worthless. Still encountering it in matches. And seeing that it doesn't apply until the 4th jump, that's still plenty of opportunity to bunnyhop in gunfights. It should apply on the second jump; that way you can still get the jump on enemies around corners to start fights, but that 1 is all you get. Timer should also be extended. Snipers have no business in shooters with maps this size so no matter what they do it'll never be enough. Haven't felt any change to the netcode yet.

What's up Ace another great video hey what's your gun setup

[@JVBAIN1]

Sniper flinch is unequivocally and unarguably a good addition, 10/10 work. The jump/crouch spam penalty is also 100% needed and a great addition, the only change needed imo is that it should kick in earlier, bc after the third jump the gunfight is already over 90% of the time. Should kick in after the second jump imo, that way you can do your initial jump around a corner which is totally reasonable, then one more after that before being penalized

[@M-O-A-B]

The biggest issue in my opinion with the bunny hop spammers wasn’t that they could spam jumping itself, it’s that they can shift directions mid air. When I’m tracking someone through the air as they jump to the right, my brain understands the physics of where he’s gonna land based off of muscle memory, playtime etc, but NOT when they can start jumping right, then as they start to come down they’re going back left in mid air… that needs addressed more so imo

Why is no one talking about the grenade indicators? It shows up red all the time, where it doesn't hurt you when it blows up. The obvious example is if the grenade is at a wall, and you are hugging that wall on the other side, then it will show up red on your hud. But it shouldn't be red, as you get no damage - honestly the indicator shouldn't even be there at all. It happens all the time with small pieces of damage - and more often than not, you have to guess/see where the grenade actually is.

its super aggressive ive played and tested alot today and being in close range and getting sprayed at makes it close to impossible to shot enemys especially if they hit multiple shots because every single shot will make you flinch that hard. I personally think they should have just made it a 1 time flinch which would already make it hard enough to stay on target while being in ads. just my thoughts tho i personally enjoy sniping since bo2 but i dont think any COD had this extreme flinch for snipers. And nobody really cared back then but it seems like now people are too soft to understand that a snipers still needs to hit their shot for it to be a kill and missing makes you extremely vulnerable thats why they always yappin "Snipers are 2 op" well then go back to Black OPs 2 or 3 and play against a good sniper there lets see how much youll rage then because back then snipers had fast ads and only a little flinch which made it easy to land quickscopes

[@MerrStudio]

That camera shake patch note is straight up lying because they specifically said it shouldn't shake when not taking damage, but quick test in firing range and I found multiple examples where my camera still shakes despite taking 0 damage. You can reliably reproduce a scenario where you don't even have a nade indicator on your screen yet the camera still shakes. Go to firing range and throw a nade behind the desk on your right, then move away until you see no nade indicator - the camera still shakes despite nade being behind cover (so it deals 0 damage to you regardless of distance) and so far away it physically cannot hurt you. It just isn't true that damage makes the screen shake, even though the patch notes say so. Screen shake is still based on the distance from the explosion, and it looks inconsistent as well.

[@hilaireb795]

I hope the netcode is drasctically changed with this update. Athough one update usually doesn't do the trick the fact that this was a known issue since before the game even came out is kinda unaccetable that it was at this level to even begin with.

I'm still getting disconnected due to "poor local connection quality" despite the fact my internet is flawless. I know my internet is working fine because: #1 As I see that red connection warning on the upper left hand side of my screen: I'll ALT-TAB, open up Chrome, and load a KZbin video instantly (in total taking less than 3 seconds.) #2 No other game disconnects me: it's only XDefiant. This is a major issue for me because the longer game modes like Escort or Zone Control take a LONG time to complete, and all it takes is a single disconnect for me to lose ALL of my progress in a match. A fix would be to change the way the game handles spikes of poor connection. Rather than completely kicking me from the match and forcing me to reconnect all the way from the start menu: simply reconnect / re-establish a connection in the same match. Never completely kick me, and punish me for something completely out of my control.

I wonder what the ratio of console to PC players are in relation to the people who are ok with the B-hopping vs not ok... Might be a hot take but i think an overlooked component is also the framerate difference between pc and console.

It’s how people really think the jump spam isn’t a problem is crazy you can still get a kill while they are but the amount of people would rather having a jumping contest & good video no sub

[@_DoE_]

They should’ve made the sniper flinch either linear with the number of shots hit with or maybe even logarithmic to reward players for hitting snipers with more shots. But if each time you’re hit you flinch the same it’ll kill the snipers. I’m boutta log in for the first time in a few so I’ll check it out

Very happy with development team behind this game they clearly trying to make it the best game possible. I just wish they would fix emp granade not unlocking for some players

[@chrisupton6190]

What about the sniper damage? One shot range and regions?

[@elg7365]

Did they fix the cross hair recovery?

[@chadieladdie]

Imo the bunny hopping penalty should kick in after 2 consecutive jumps, people can still have 4 jumps in a row with no penalty 🙃

[@hakanflodin4555]

Good

[@VinnieMoore84]

if u cant deal with a little jump i cant imagine how shit u were on jet pack cod

[@zach1727]

Yeah, I don't think this is gonna fix the issue whatsoever. 3 hops is still too many

[@amuiznblh]

Hey guys, I wanted to check something. Who experienced hit reg problem / dying behind corners? And what are your ping? Mine is 19 - 26ms.

[@beastmastreakaninjadar6941]

Did they change the mid-air direction change/jump strafing?

[@Encore2211]

This is part of the movement mechanic. This is not the problem, the problem is the bad netcode. This is why you can not follow the enemy in the air with your crossahir.

[@mentallyinsaneryan6895]

Mines has been awesome since this update and can now play

[@Neil-c22]

Still can’t unlock the EMP grenade challenge,tried everything like the pre-made class with an EMP,no damage counting🤷‍♂️

[@Swierky]

Thank God. I understand wanting to dodge bullets but it literally borders on obnoxious

[@BollyToHolly]

4:51 last night it felt better but I’ll come back and update for sure 💯

[@spsswanny]

As a sniper I except this! We do need flinch. Makes sniping more based on skill and keeps things even

[@toxinergy7298]

Finally, I won't be having a seizure everytime a grenade go off

[@mr.s9783]

The penalty needs to be on second jump. Or just force players out of ADS while jumping. Also, it the hit reg fixed yet?

[@chrishenslick5482]

I like how they handled this. Add stuff in gradually and then gather data. If it needs more, add more later on. Not just swing too far all at once and break the game.

[@micosworld]

Have they mentioned anything about console only crossplay? I hope that actually becomes a thing in the future! I have a PS and find matches consistently quick, but would like a bigger player pool. I don't hate PC players, but they do have some advantages.

[@thecapeisout]

I’ve noticed, pre and post patch, that after 5-6 games played my connection starts to degrade. Hit-reg, aim assist, and desync. After completely closing the game, that seems to refresh things pretty consistently.

[@kharmans3103]

im still getting hit several times after going completely in cover and sniper flinch is too strong imo

[@XLORDPROPL]

8:36 This is not a camera! This is a device that will bounce back any grenade that is thrown towards it, or just stickies...

[@CheekySherbert]

Enjoying the game and i.m.o. the balancing is pretty good - Still getting shot behind cover though. If they could just tweak that net-code….

[@cCueBasE]

2:10 so we can look forward to the new meta being the bunny drop / Bdrop.

[@thebuffapuss5631]

Should be the 2nd for sure this isnt gonna change much prolly.

[@CCM1199]

Good. the Devs kept their word on the aim stagger mechanic they mentioned was going to be implemented for the bunny hoppers. I dont know if it will do much but from the looks of things they will be missing alot of their shots. I can see the amount of player base dropping because of this mechanic alone or they can bite the bullet and learn how to play another way. Either way good on the Devs. As far as Factions is concerned, They need to bring Wolves, Black Tusk and Hyenas back since they removed them from closed beta. I know the Wolves would be the direct counter to Phantoms since they play the same. but we'll see how it fairs

[@t.o.a.s.t.e.r]

Tells ppl using the movement to learn a different way to play but refuses to do it themselves you sir a skilless hypocrite

[@davidpace1635]

Good update. I don’t think they need to nerf movement but fine with the change
