June 3rd Update (J3U) - Initial Thoughts?

I feel that, as a community, we should wait and get more playtime before we give direct feedback.
However, I would like to hear your initial thoughts on J3U.
Personally, I’m absolutely in love with it!
The weapons all seem so well done and they feel powerful in their own ways.
Another highlight for me is the increased speed, making Thruster Pack so much better.
Thruster Pack is my go-to Armor Ability, and now that it’s been buffed through J3U, I love it even more!
So Waypoint, thoughts?
These can include anything within J3U.
Those being loadout weapons, ordnance and map alteration, enhanced speed, Thruster Pack, or anything else that I forgot.

Couldn’t tell ya after 45 minutes of searching all I got was a 5v1 because the other team quit before the game started.

Havent played it yet but i am looking forward to the updated br!

Well that’s okay.
Once you get a few games in, come back and tell us what you think.

I’ve just played a match of 4v4 and 8v8 Slayer as well as a match of Dominion. The weapons I’ve used so far are the BR, Carbine, LR, DMR, Pistol, and Storm Rifle and they felt good, especially the 4sk BR. But I’ll tell you what, that new Carbine is nasty. Lol, the 4v4 match we even had a DMR user quit on the other team, it was great.

I’m really not sure how I feel about the new movement speed though. Going into this I thought I might like it but now I’m not so sure.

It seems good so far, all weapons seem to be good in their own way as you said.
I am liking the new Carbine too!

Although i tried on the Suppressor and it wasnt very good :frowning:

LOL the new SAW is an absolute beast now!

The LightRifle is still underpowered compared to the DMR. Play Settler with a LightRifle and you get obliterated by DMRs. So that gun is still underpowered. Its Red Reticle range (and the DMRs) still seems a bit too far.

Everything else is good, though.

The BR just feels right, finally. Also carbine feels like it should. Haven’t used much else.

Only got to play one game today, but everything feels much better. I’m digging the improved speed, and all of the weapons feel useful so far. Overall, it’s a huge improvement.

I have yet to download it as well, but I have been waiting and anticipating it for a while. So far from some feedback it seems great, I no doubt will love it as I love the game and franchise in general. But, I will edit this with legit feedback as soon as I play.

The lightrifle is officially what it should have been at launch, this thing zoomed in is just amazing.

I’m going on right now, lets do this.

With the damage boost the Pistol transforms in to the CE pistol taking atleast 3-4 shots to kill. I love it.

carbine will no longer be called crap. It is, simply put, a different animal now.

Br feels amazing.

The thruster has a buff with the increased movement speed! How cool is that?

LR zoomed is now unparalleled. Unzoomed…it’s painfully slow. Oh well. Tradeoffs.

AR’s actually aren’t that bad to aim with and the damage boost is certainly noticeable.

Still playing and testing!!

> With the damage boost the Pistol transforms in to the CE pistol taking atleast 3-4 shots to kill. I love it.

No it doesn’t…it even says in the bulletin that it takes 6-shots to kill.
Well I played a Big team game on Vortex and was surprised by the inclusion of x2 Gauss Hogs, x2 Mantis’s and a Banshee. How long have they been there or was that today? I used the AR, was good. Went 21-8. Had a game of slayer pro 4v4 that I didn’t enjoy because bullets love going through forge objects.

Tried a custom game. Did they quiet down the beeping noise the Sticky Detonator makes when launched?

I’m pretty sure he meant with the damage boost power up.

Last Monday morning, Throwdown had 40 people playing, it now has 240.

I actually have a reason to create more than one loadout now.
