Let's everyone give a round of applause for Dozer. He finally did it! Where do the specialists rank for you? Agree or disagree with my rankings? Let me know and thanks for watching!
Boris needs a new trait. I think giving him one extra ammo of whatever he has in his gadget slot could work. You run out of rockets so fast playing engineer and ammo crates are often few and far between.
I wouldn't even say it was a bug from Sundance AT grenade, it was that pilots would get upset because you could use her anti AT nade to scare pilots away by making them pop flares early. Now they have no question on what is targeting them and IMO that just makes it easier for them. Also her AT nade was perfect for taking down Casper drone's or other equipment that it would lock onto so now if we want to take down a Casper drone we need to hope the hit box is cooperating with us.
Blasco is the main thing that brought me into the game when I recently decided to try it. Her character was literally designed for my play style I feel and it’s hard for me to even play other characters at this point
I feel like a lot of people just play Casper because he looks like the sniper dude, but he's better right behind the frontlines. You can see where everyone is so if you can communicate you can kind of negate smokes entirely and allow your team to push much more confidently. Also, your emp can make destroying vehicles much easier. If you're alone you can see who's flanking or pushing too far and pick them off before they see it coming. You can also slow down pushes or hinder the enemy's defense by zapping respawn beacons, turrets and the like. But playing for the drip is valid I won't lie
Casper is laughably broken if used correctly. He shuts everything down and can't be snuck up on. He needs a nerf honestly. And mind you I love using him but I feel like garbage spotting the whole map, indirectly getting kills and vics destroyed because I stopped them from defending themselves 😂. Getting MVP with Casper is a cake walk too.
which is still unfair in my opinion. They should give his movement buff to every other specialist and change his perk to reduced fall damage and faster ladder/zip/mantling traversal
DICE's stance towards Boris is bewildering. He needs a full overhawl. I could switch his gun turret for a missile turret that only targets air and ground vehicles.
Sundance is still the only specialist that feels amazing to play. Wingsuit is simply the best ability in the game. Yes granades are awful, but wingsuit is just too great to pass. Honestly as COD kid, i really envy you can use wingsuit in this game. If Warzone had something like this, i would've LIVED in it.
Would love to see you do 2 versions of this ranking. Some specialists are much better in breakthrough and some are better in conquest. EG Irish and dozer are better suited for chokepoints, Rao and Sundance are better for big open spaces. Also, Zain’s passive got an indirect nerf bc assault now gets 2 med pans.
Lis definitely deserves a high tier. A competent Lis will freak the hell out of air vehicles, thereby denying their dominance. She's the apex of the engineer class. Also on defender breakthrough, I'm that asshole who spams rockets at spawn and redeploys to get more rockets.
This is a good list. I have Rao as the worst, and I have Lis joining Mackay, Falck, and Zain in S tier. Also, as a conquest player, I don’t see Blasco as favorably as you do but she’s still good. I’ll take Paik for recon most times.
I'm a Main Rao player your wrong... Rao can heló alot with vehicles specially air vehicles not only that... if I hack a enemy and kill them it reveals all enemy through walls which is crazy. Every time he gets hit it revelas the enemy position which is helpful. Rao is extremely underrated.
@@johnsepulvedacruz6428also No competent Vehicle player would run Cyberwarfare Countermeasures over thermal smoke, which leaves an opening for rao to hack a vehicle
I still like Angel. At times when there's no or only one ammo crate, the supply drop gives instantly 4 rockets to spam at the vehicles. Which are damn overwhelming thanks to Irish nerf. Sorry did I say nerf I meant change to make people play him more (thanks Dice).
Defending C1 on Exposure breakthrough is perhaps the most mandatory Irish moment in the entire game. Tbh I haven't played that since Irish got nerfed, and I'm kind of worried to see what will happen now.
Not gonna lie. Meeting a dozer in a CqC hallway sitting in a corner just waiting to chase you is a little freaky. I’ve died several times since update to the shield almost feel like it’s too fast that he can chase you with shield out and bump you lol but I’ve heard the lateral side to side dodging can juke him. I personally have c5 in most kits I run and have had to plant them on the wall or floor and lure said dozer into my trap and blow the charge once they are behind him
I've been a Casper main for awhile now I think the only buff that he needs is to increase the range of the emp lock on so the drone has some room to breathe for once
As a Falck/Blasco main, this tier list makes me so happy. Also LIS has got to be the ultimate vehicle hunter now after Sundance's nerf, especially since the addition of the AT Grenade with Season 5. I now usually run around with the SFAR/AK with the 40mm AP nade launcher, her Lissiles, AT Mines/C5, plus the new AT Grenade and it's ... she's like the Zain Explosive spam loadout but for Vehicle hunting xD
@@Epok97 sitting stationary on a weak turret and hoping no one is smart enough to just pop your head off with a sniper vs constantly moving, cover to cover, throwing out C5 and AT Nades as you get them, and/or creating traps with AT mines .... yea I think I'll stick to Lis than Andrew Tate's clone
Casper is S tier. You can spot the entire map, destroy equipment and shut down vics all while hiding in a bush😂. I've single handedly harrassed vic players by continously shutting down their weapons and indirectly getting them killed, rendering vics useless. He's absurd. In fact he needs a nerf. The drone is way too good and it shouldn't refresh. I shouldn't be able to prevent vics from using their weapons indefinitely. Either he gets one drone or he can't disrupt vics but currently he's way too good and requires 0 effort.
I have mained Faulk since release and I got to agree. I have been top fragging and getting mvp most games since this season dropped and it solely comes down to surviving and being good with the stim gun and ammo drops.... you are a 1 man (old lady?) army. edit* I either get most frags or most revives. She is just really good lol.
I love these videos when you do them because it follows along usually with how I am feeling with the specialist. First I would like to say that I am glad I got Boris's Tier 1 done when the game launched and his turret was OP. PHEW! I cant imagine doing it now. Secondly I 100% agree with you about Blasco. I completely ignored her all of S4 until the end when I started actually trying her out and realized the massive amounts of XP she could rack up with the Radar blocker and the Tugs combined. WOW. She is my favorite recon now that Paik has been smashed with the nerf bat. THANKS FOR MAKING THIS VID! LOVE IT! Stay cool!
A good buff to Angel would be to add area healing to his loadout crate. There should be a limit to the amount of healing it provides per player and since it cant be called into a cramped hallway it would be balanced. Plus I just laugh at the visual in my head of a supply crate with a bunch of syringes poking out lol
I’m an old man and my response time is not as fast in close combat situations. That’s why I like playing Casper. I can hide somewhere near the front and spot the enemy for my team. Using my drone with C5 attached and blowing up hidden enemy is a plus.
Mackay really doesn't earn you a lot of points basically it's just kills and taking objectives. Unlike other specialists that have traits that earn you a lot of points along with kills and taking objectives.
I actually vastly prefer conquest... You do get a lot more randomness in the games, but I enjoy being able to pick how I want to contribute and where on the map I want to play, rather than yeeting myself at the enemy.
I also dont believe that breakthrough is the most popular mode as he said. Conquest is the embodyment of BF and i cant really imagine it not being number one. Did some googling and couldnt find any data on actual playercounts of the modes but i would bet conquest is the main mode of BF2042
@@Raise2512 Also I feel like Breakthrough is much more impacted by balancing. I remember in Season 1, breakthrough on Exposure was super imbalanced simply because attackers got a transport heli. It's gotten a bit better since then but still.
@@TheLizardKing752 Can't say much about season 1, started playing bf 2042 in season 3 after i ditched it since launch :D Attack Heli on attacker side is just stupid though especially when defenders dont have good vehicles
I really enjoy playing Angel, but DICE should make the load out crate drop faster or something. By the time I call one in usually all of my teammates are long gone. Or a way for him to ressupply rockets to engineers without needing a call in would be a great buff too
During your Falck clips, I noticed you were running med crate instead of ammo. Is there a benefit to her own syrette regen or something? I see a lot of Falcks running med crates which seem redundant, and adding to the low amount of ammo crates available during a match.
I do it because of the frequency I use the syrette pistol. It may be redundant but the redundancy allows me to have an extra means of healing if I find myself out of syrettes in a tight spot and a box is better for group of players clumped up instead of firing multiple syrettes in a crowd.
Disagree on the RAO rating, because no vehicle player would ever use cyberwarfare counter as thermal smoke does a better job to defend the vehicle from locks, and Cyberwarfare counters rao and ONLY counters rao, which is not worth running in any way. He is the true definition of underrated as the hack puts a soflam on vehicles and can spot players though walls. But few players play him anymore, with not much reason why that is the case
I 100% would put Zain in S-tier. I think he rivals Mackay for best assault specialist due to the fact he has the ability to regen his health by just doing what one does in battlefield. And he has the med pen. As well as the grenade launcher just proving that cover can become just concealment very quickly
I use Casper drone to spot and to get rid of people spawn beacon, sentinels etc. but i don't sit in a bush if i see my team struggling with a objective or other snipers than i put my drone away and help out then when my team has it under control pull out the drone and start spotting and finding people gadgets they have placed down
I totally agree with you on Rao he used to be my main then i started using Lis she is my main now and RAO was my back up but he is totally useless now RIP should be his name now
I can only bring myself to play as Falk or Zain but I've been playing as dozer for a little bit and he's actually kinda fun to troll with epically in rush
I definitely prefer Boris over Crawford still. The mini gun turret just makes me feel like a sitting duck for marksmen and while using a marksman rifle it's so easy to shoot Crawford in the face through his turret
I'm playing mostly Boris. Yeah, the turret is weak but I place it in places to alarm me when enemies are coming from my back. And I like throwing rockets into everyone 😂😂😂
Tbh i would still choose Angle than Irish and Falck because of the loadout crate can give out more ammo than 1 crate that gives you 1 of everything because i have 3 more friends so what we do is 1 of us use Rao with Soflam, 1 use Angle with loadout crate and the other 2 use Croftford or Boris with Javelins on breakthrough and conquest. And for each round yes we switch.
I would love a controller player version of this- i know computer is the best way to play but I just can’t after a full work week. I’m saying this bc I want to use Mackay but his grappling hook is so wonky on a controller that it’s unusable. Love the vids ❤
Each time i'm watching your gameplay cut I'm like : Are we playing the same game ? Why don't your gun seem to have any recoil, you're using a console controler ?
Wow. This should not be prefaced by saying it's a Breakthrough-centric list, but rather by saying this is the COD player's list, with no focus on vehicles, or team play. All differentiations are skewed by the axis "How well can I play the game alone as this class, and as this specialist compared to the other specialists in a given class?" It's still interesting to see the perspective, but for say a vehicle fan, putting Crawford above Boris, or Lis, for that matter, shows that you won't be playing together with others. Granted, the turret is nerfed into the ground, but if two Boris players are plonking down their turrets, the opponents will be less happy. Contrast that with Crawford's vulcan. If a player stays more than a few seconds in place with it, that player is back at the loading screen. So maybe it has some utility for players who run-and-gun alone, but I would argue a Boris has more utility - and the repair tool diff isn't all that. Lis missiles will respawn - great - but a squad with two Boris players and a support class player - plus maybe a spotter? - will be a lot stronger. Also, the Lis missile is garbage in a console environment. So there's that ... As for recon, I've never enjoyed the sniper part of the game, but hey, people are different. That means Casper isn't my preferred specialist. However, I can see advantages to both Paik and Blasco, so I find it hard to understand why this clip puts them at such massively different tiers. Maybe it's because I still have to learn acceptance of the fact that these days I need glasses, and using Paik helps a bit in that regard? Or maybe it doesn't. Not sure. You don't mention Blasco's ability to spot where the opponents' gear has been placed. That is really powerful, if you ask me, but I don't tend to be busy running-and-gunning, so I try to help the team by cleaning away the other team's equipment. Maybe you don't need that ability, but in the clip, I noticed you ignoring some gear left by the other team, so I guess you don't prioritize it ... Or? The list goes on ... It would be really interesting to see what I regard as a true Battlefield player's perspective on these matters, i.e. someone who mainly focuses on squad play and playing the objective. Also, maybe including some comments on vehicle builds, both crew, and anti-, and so on. There is depth to be plumbed here. OK, now I'll go back to watching the clip. It IS interesting, but you need to consider the perspective/bias.
Jesus Christ the qualifications for being labeled a COD player just keep getting lowered. Edit: After reading the rest of that, idk if you just started nitpicking the list to validate your statements but if I talked about teamplay as much as you want me to in the video, it would be an hour long. Tried to only give specialists 2 minutes of time, so obviously I would miss some things. Out of the 7 specialists on the top half of the list, 5 of them have some of the best teamplay / anti vehicle gadgets on the game. So honestly I have no clue what you’re on about. Maybe because I didn’t give an essay on teamplay for each one, you think it’s a lone wolf bias?
@@CatalystHD Nah, I probably just got a dose of the Internet malady of wilfully misunderstanding someone's point of view just because I'd encountered something I perceived as similar in-game which triggered me. Sorry about that. I generally like your vids, and I feel one should be nice to people. It tends to lead to better results than antagonistic behaviour. So this is my apology for drawing extreme, baseless conclusions.
No need to apologize. It's all good, all is forgiven. I just didn't quite see where you were drawing your conclusions from after reading the rest of your comment.
Pretty happy sundance keeps getting nerfed. Having a pocket recon to traverse any map in the pocket with no downsides is pretty strong and one of the best gadgets really. She can be just about anywhere, and is just...annoying on maps like Exposure where she has full coverage of the entire half of the map. Mackay's is definitely better for a generalist tool, but i'm glad im not seeing her everywhere in every match because of her overpowered unrivaled mobility
Disagree, one or two GOOD Lis players can be total pain. You don't need 5. The key word here is 'good'. Many Lis players suck as they do not take the time to master her launcher and how to properly use anti-tank mines. You don't only lay them down. They can be thrown. Some don't even know her lissiles can be boosted. Lis + anti-tank mines + LATV with AA is a total pain with a skillful player. I've taken down many transports, little bird and attack helis angering the pilots. For my style of playing, Lis is the best specialist hands down. She can handle any situation. Second to her is Sundance and it's a real shame DICE decided to take away her armor grenade. When tanks / helis are on fire, they were perfect for finishing them off. Got lots of kills that way.
nearly always on top of the board with Casper and/or Paik. Casper is my go to Specialist but i am here to see other options that work for me. thanks for the vid!
They really can't help themselves with nerfing for no reason. The surprise Sundance nerf this season was a gut punch. I have no interest in playing Sundance anymore. It really changed my style of play with her. I could care less about the wing suit. She was better suited as an Engineer tbh with the vehicle/equipment nade. I don't play with the other assault specialists at all. So moving her to engineer would be the best classification. But in general the nerfs are weird. Like Boris. Such a weak turret now. It could be buffed by only being able to destroy it with explosives or EMP. Irish. Just let players have a counter like an EMP launcher. I thought the EMP was such a waste of an equipment slot until I realized how critical it is with taking out equipment. But then the logic of nerfing Irish to limit it's usability, but leave Blasco completely alone with her equipment haha. Which I agree she is S tier. What's fantastic about her equipment is that it's basically a cylinder radius that goes Infinitely up and down. Discarded breakthrough, I put it under the ship. It never gets destroyed during that section with the jet inside. There wouldn't need to be ANY nerfs at all. If they just required all specialist equipment to be replenished or recharged. Cut out the recharge BS and I think all the complaints of specialists will finally drop off. And then give them all good equipment counts and quality gadgets that mean something. But allow gadgets to Counter other gadgets. Like imagine if Blasco equipment also blocked Mackay's grapple from working 🤯
Irish so much up? Useless in conquest, and after the sentinel nerf in breakout too. The barricade not reliable, bugged and useless. Setting Angel into rainy day, while Angel is with Falk most played specialist in conquest.
Watch the minimap, many enemys will be spotted already by teammates. Work with your squad and stuff like positioning and aiming will come with time when you got a feel for it. Also ask yourself why you died and think about what you could have done better(maybe there was cover nearby and you died in the open for example). You will die to bullshit which you couldnt have done anything about but often there is room for improvement for future fights. Just play, have fun and maybe watch how some youtubers play and integrate some of it in- your gameplay if it fits your playstyle.
there's not such thing as the worst or best specialists. this is not COD you must use te right character, vehicle, weapon or gear according to the circumstances.
Sundance is the only S-tier specialist needed. Nuff said, but don't take my word for it, just look at my awesome clips of what can be done with her and then some. Everyone else belongs with wherever McFail tier goes in.
Let's everyone give a round of applause for Dozer. He finally did it!
Where do the specialists rank for you? Agree or disagree with my rankings? Let me know and thanks for watching!
LOL!!! I C U OP, removing criticism whenever it doesn't agree with you. 🖕😂 I'll see you out on the Battlefield. We'll what you'll say then.
Boris needs a new trait. I think giving him one extra ammo of whatever he has in his gadget slot could work. You run out of rockets so fast playing engineer and ammo crates are often few and far between.
Just buff the turret too
or allow his turret to fire larger caliber AP rounds and AA rockets
He needs a turret upgrade more. Either it needs to be AA focused or infantry focused.
Boris is my most played character and, I just use my turret as a distraction while I reload. It sucks 😂
@@nilloc28 Genuinely, it's a pea shooter. Takes eternity to lock on, then when it has you targeted, you can esentially dodge the bullets.

@@oscarortiz1529 or just left it alone because it was fine as it was
No one uses the anti-hack vehicle mod, bc the other options are way more valuable.
This. Gotta have something that breaks lock on so you can reposition. Javs are way more common than hacks.

You must be new here because in any other BF game I prefer conquest. Conquest is too boring in this game, even for me.
Finally can agree with the list. Boris was clearly in a bad state last time I was quite surprised
Good list!!
I 100% would put Zain in S-tier. I think he rivals Mackay for best assault specialist due to the fact he has the ability to regen his health by just doing what one does in battlefield. And he has the med pen. As well as the grenade launcher just proving that cover can become just concealment very quickly
Nice timing Catalyst, I started bf2042 again yesterday and I was looking for new tier list videos but there are no good ones :)
The other option give a vote to the community or open discussion to start cutting these characters but leaving the skins.
I use Casper drone to spot and to get rid of people spawn beacon, sentinels etc. but i don't sit in a bush if i see my team struggling with a objective or other snipers than i put my drone away and help out then when my team has it under control pull out the drone and start spotting and finding people gadgets they have placed down
Boris's turret should just be a better version of the AA mine from BF4
Also can we get some more cosmetics for blasco something up to par with the rest of the specialist
I totally agree with you on Rao he used to be my main then i started using Lis she is my main now and RAO was my back up but he is totally useless now RIP should be his name now
I can only bring myself to play as Falk or Zain but I've been playing as dozer for a little bit and he's actually kinda fun to troll with epically in rush
I definitely prefer Boris over Crawford still. The mini gun turret just makes me feel like a sitting duck for marksmen and while using a marksman rifle it's so easy to shoot Crawford in the face through his turret
falck is love
falck is life
I'm playing mostly Boris. Yeah, the turret is weak but I place it in places to alarm me when enemies are coming from my back. And I like throwing rockets into everyone 😂😂😂
My Main specialist are Rao and Dozer. I think they are really good.
Tbh i would still choose Angle than Irish and Falck because of the loadout crate can give out more ammo than 1 crate that gives you 1 of everything because i have 3 more friends so what we do is 1 of us use Rao with Soflam, 1 use Angle with loadout crate and the other 2 use Croftford or Boris with Javelins on breakthrough and conquest. And for each round yes we switch.
I put Liz in the “ good but not elite” On the new mapI destroy ground vehicles all the time, but not aircraft.
Oh, i always think its fun finding out a youtuber is from florida. Fellow Florida men unite!
Crawford should be able to use magic turret in passenger seats
I would love a controller player version of this- i know computer is the best way to play but I just can’t after a full work week. I’m saying this bc I want to use Mackay but his grappling hook is so wonky on a controller that it’s unusable. Love the vids ❤
Great vid👏🏼
What PP29 configuration where you using? I can't find that skin/scope anywhere.
It’s a legendary skin that came out last month. Deathrate or something
@@CatalystHD Okay. Thanks.
Should have been: S tier: Mackay, Sundance, dozer: (op right now) They buffed him as I speak
You gotta be high
@@DineroA1 Explain to me otherwise
Wish they added that canceled specialist Hale with the RC drone
My issue with Falck is everything she does its all "AHAHH RLEAOADUING!" her voice lines are sooo jarring.
Lis is probably the only good engineer lol.
I see boris players all the time and tbf he’s good in certain situations like having high ground or having a full squad of boris players lol
Each time i'm watching your gameplay cut I'm like : Are we playing the same game ? Why don't your gun seem to have any recoil, you're using a console controler ?
I’m mouse and keyboard.
@@CatalystHD That what I thought too, but it's crazy how your gun seem to laser beam compared to mine, despite us using the same attachement.
Wow. This should not be prefaced by saying it's a Breakthrough-centric list, but rather by saying this is the COD player's list, with no focus on vehicles, or team play.
All differentiations are skewed by the axis "How well can I play the game alone as this class, and as this specialist compared to the other specialists in a given class?"
It's still interesting to see the perspective, but for say a vehicle fan, putting Crawford above Boris, or Lis, for that matter, shows that you won't be playing together with others.
Granted, the turret is nerfed into the ground, but if two Boris players are plonking down their turrets, the opponents will be less happy. Contrast that with Crawford's vulcan. If a player stays more than a few seconds in place with it, that player is back at the loading screen. So maybe it has some utility for players who run-and-gun alone, but I would argue a Boris has more utility - and the repair tool diff isn't all that. Lis missiles will respawn - great - but a squad with two Boris players and a support class player - plus maybe a spotter? - will be a lot stronger. Also, the Lis missile is garbage in a console environment. So there's that ...
As for recon, I've never enjoyed the sniper part of the game, but hey, people are different. That means Casper isn't my preferred specialist. However, I can see advantages to both Paik and Blasco, so I find it hard to understand why this clip puts them at such massively different tiers. Maybe it's because I still have to learn acceptance of the fact that these days I need glasses, and using Paik helps a bit in that regard? Or maybe it doesn't. Not sure. You don't mention Blasco's ability to spot where the opponents' gear has been placed. That is really powerful, if you ask me, but I don't tend to be busy running-and-gunning, so I try to help the team by cleaning away the other team's equipment. Maybe you don't need that ability, but in the clip, I noticed you ignoring some gear left by the other team, so I guess you don't prioritize it ... Or?
The list goes on ...
It would be really interesting to see what I regard as a true Battlefield player's perspective on these matters, i.e. someone who mainly focuses on squad play and playing the objective.
Also, maybe including some comments on vehicle builds, both crew, and anti-, and so on. There is depth to be plumbed here.
OK, now I'll go back to watching the clip. It IS interesting, but you need to consider the perspective/bias.
Jesus Christ the qualifications for being labeled a COD player just keep getting lowered.
Edit: After reading the rest of that, idk if you just started nitpicking the list to validate your statements but if I talked about teamplay as much as you want me to in the video, it would be an hour long. Tried to only give specialists 2 minutes of time, so obviously I would miss some things. Out of the 7 specialists on the top half of the list, 5 of them have some of the best teamplay / anti vehicle gadgets on the game. So honestly I have no clue what you’re on about. Maybe because I didn’t give an essay on teamplay for each one, you think it’s a lone wolf bias?
@@CatalystHD Nah, I probably just got a dose of the Internet malady of wilfully misunderstanding someone's point of view just because I'd encountered something I perceived as similar in-game which triggered me.
Sorry about that. I generally like your vids, and I feel one should be nice to people. It tends to lead to better results than antagonistic behaviour. So this is my apology for drawing extreme, baseless conclusions.
No need to apologize. It's all good, all is forgiven. I just didn't quite see where you were drawing your conclusions from after reading the rest of your comment.
Most specialists are worth using except Angel and Boris. Most specialists are unique enough to where they all fit a niche except Angel and Boris.
Pretty happy sundance keeps getting nerfed. Having a pocket recon to traverse any map in the pocket with no downsides is pretty strong and one of the best gadgets really. She can be just about anywhere, and is just...annoying on maps like Exposure where she has full coverage of the entire half of the map. Mackay's is definitely better for a generalist tool, but i'm glad im not seeing her everywhere in every match because of her overpowered unrivaled mobility
What's so funny is how alot of ppl still play Boris, I don't get it.
Been running blasco for a minute now an run falck other times.
I have never seen an Angel in the game. Never used an Angel crate
Disagree, one or two GOOD Lis players can be total pain. You don't need 5. The key word here is 'good'. Many Lis players suck as they do not take the time to master her launcher and how to properly use anti-tank mines. You don't only lay them down. They can be thrown. Some don't even know her lissiles can be boosted. Lis + anti-tank mines + LATV with AA is a total pain with a skillful player. I've taken down many transports, little bird and attack helis angering the pilots. For my style of playing, Lis is the best specialist hands down. She can handle any situation.
Second to her is Sundance and it's a real shame DICE decided to take away her armor grenade. When tanks / helis are on fire, they were perfect for finishing them off. Got lots of kills that way.
I already mastered dozer b4 updated
Good takes
nearly always on top of the board with Casper and/or Paik. Casper is my go to Specialist but i am here to see other options that work for me. thanks for the vid!
casper playing CQC on objctove, tugs down, passive and most ppl are visiable and you can get to them before they get to you
Dozer is fun now 13 shield kills in one game yesterday 😂
45 is my record xD - before Update lol
Boris turret should be remote controlled
Lis still have the rocket camera bug... unplayable...
Just a comment for the algorithm
They really can't help themselves with nerfing for no reason. The surprise Sundance nerf this season was a gut punch. I have no interest in playing Sundance anymore. It really changed my style of play with her. I could care less about the wing suit. She was better suited as an Engineer tbh with the vehicle/equipment nade. I don't play with the other assault specialists at all. So moving her to engineer would be the best classification.
But in general the nerfs are weird. Like Boris. Such a weak turret now. It could be buffed by only being able to destroy it with explosives or EMP.
Irish. Just let players have a counter like an EMP launcher. I thought the EMP was such a waste of an equipment slot until I realized how critical it is with taking out equipment.
But then the logic of nerfing Irish to limit it's usability, but leave Blasco completely alone with her equipment haha. Which I agree she is S tier. What's fantastic about her equipment is that it's basically a cylinder radius that goes Infinitely up and down. Discarded breakthrough, I put it under the ship. It never gets destroyed during that section with the jet inside.
There wouldn't need to be ANY nerfs at all. If they just required all specialist equipment to be replenished or recharged. Cut out the recharge BS and I think all the complaints of specialists will finally drop off. And then give them all good equipment counts and quality gadgets that mean something. But allow gadgets to Counter other gadgets.
Like imagine if Blasco equipment also blocked Mackay's grapple from working 🤯
Bro, Dozer bad ? Are you crazy ? I slaughtered so many with the shield, a d the resist against blast is good too
Nah my boy Dozer is now S tier for sure
I use rao and almost never run into vehicles I can't hack
If you want the worst K/D in 2042, Crawford and his minigun are perfect!
Irish so much up? Useless in conquest, and after the sentinel nerf in breakout too. The barricade not reliable, bugged and useless. Setting Angel into rainy day, while Angel is with Falk most played specialist in conquest.
Dozer was never the worst in fact used properly a top specialist
He's not the worst but nowhere near the top dude
doom49 video with lis specialists
And they nerf dozer anyway. How dare he try to elevate above worst. 😆
Dozer got over buffed
Casper isn't useful if you're already using wallhacks.
What is:
ERROR
PLAYER REMOVED FROM GAME
Game ended, all players disconnected
I've been seeing this many times a day since Friday.
I see that too. It may be that the server crashed
I stopped playing, it’s hard enough playing the game then all get is shot in the back, so I’ve decided it not worth it.
Hi i just downloaded this game yesterday, does anyone have any tips for a beginner? Great video anyway so helpfull for a newbie
Playtime + not worrying about K/d ratio helped me a ton
Watch the minimap, many enemys will be spotted already by teammates. Work with your squad and stuff like positioning and aiming will come with time when you got a feel for it. Also ask yourself why you died and think about what you could have done better(maybe there was cover nearby and you died in the open for example). You will die to bullshit which you couldnt have done anything about but often there is room for improvement for future fights. Just play, have fun and maybe watch how some youtubers play and integrate some of it in- your gameplay if it fits your playstyle.
there's not such thing as the worst or best specialists. this is not COD you must use te right character, vehicle, weapon or gear according to the circumstances.
do angel with all smokes
Exactamente bro! 😁🤙🏼
Lis rocket is broken...
Think boring needs an tlc man his little gun sucks takes 4 ever to lock on and does no damage
Somebody be cheating in this game.
yeah, it looks like he's using an aimbot
too much talking an not enough points being made.... blah blah
Sundance is the only S-tier specialist needed. Nuff said, but don't take my word for it, just look at my awesome clips of what can be done with her and then some. Everyone else belongs with wherever McFail tier goes in.
