Alot of people seem to forget that while in your hunter strand super, you can dive to suspend targets without cooldown. Comes in hella clutch against titans behind a barricade
Hello zk, following you for a year and half and learnt a lot from you about pvp in general. Would you mind doing some tips and tricks videos showing us what strategies, placements, etc.. so we can stop all relying on lorely/ikelos stuff and be actually skilled at this game 😆 ? Anyway gg for this grind, I'm still stucked at plat 2 atm but someday I will also access to higher places
Question: Can anyone explain why my Round Robin kicks like a damn mule half of the time? Zk's looks pretty clean when firing but for me it kicks like a full auto shotty with zero stability. My stability for it is like 70 btw, it rolled pretty decently, but I even tried to put counter balance on just to test if that changed anything but it made the kick even worse. Horizontal recoil isn't noticeable really but vertical recoil is like doing a backflip after every shot.
Anyone got tips on how to be better at pvp? My aim is fine but my movement is HORRIBLE. Also what are the perfect stats for pvp cause I always tend to run atleast 80+ res hand waste tons of stats
Solo console is nothing like this. I’m literally fighting for my life and my teammates stay dying and losing life’s or die right off rip in rift. Your matches always look balanced for the most part
When you deactivate cross play you only match other players who also deactivate it, you're put in a different queue, the players who usually deactivate it are mostly sweats or people into PvP, doing so will put in you in a disadvantage. Since the game is set on default to be cross play I'd advise you to reactivate it because the pool without cross play should be extremely low
solo console is insane. super crazy player pool. i pretty much always end up with two blueberries playing rift on cathedral of dusk against 2 arc titans and a void hunter.
@@kaay1 see I thought this but on console I’ve always had cross play on, but without someone on your team that’s on pc it always just puts me against Xbox or PlayStation players. Never any pc even with cross play on.
@@legolokicars5820 yeah it’s a more condensed player pool I think which is even sweatier than pc at times because of how small the pool is. I’ve played the same guy solo 4 games in a row that’s how small the pool is.
i mean i'm on pc but i have to carry two braindead teammates that keep trying to think they're good yet failing miserably on a 1v3, playing against sweats so
Wut We all have the same abilities Grapple, warlocks and titan have 3 melee charges, we have the same fragments, grenades, suspending ability Etc What about it is so much better?
@@danpilarski7910 who cares you only do it for the rose anyway. I just afk if we hard losing for whatever reason to end the game faster or i tryhard more with cheesy shit if we winning to end faster. Comp is irrelevant sadly.
Do people understand that when you trade, shoot, and get headtaped at the same time, is server delay? There gun bullet. Haven't registered the flinch yet. I do it on a mouse all the time. I get shot the flinch animation works but lands the head. Because the animation for the bullet registered but not the main bullet... kinda the same with the melee trades Also, when you start dealing less damage, less flinch you give. So shooting pass flinch is very easy when they have a hc hitting for less than max damage.
So the bullet has to register for the flinch to take effect, but because the animation for the bullet registers instead of the actual bullet due to server delay, it leads to pseudo flinch and trades. Is this correct? Trying to understand.
Such a fun build. While roaring flames is active just punching is a charged melee no hammer needed. Try recuperation, invigoration, x2 outreach, reaper. Hands On, x2 grenade kickstart.
I think you should put dim load outs in your comments a lot of people would use them. Ik I would. I love you content though man been watching you for a while and it makes my day better when you post a video!❤️
As someone that plays on console and PC, the whole "controllers are broken" sentiment is so beyond delusional. Ppl dont miss on PC. Even bad players dont miss on PC. You have MORE aim assist and LESS recoil with BETTER movement on MnK. U dont have reticle friction. Thats it. U dont have one thing. I get that it helps but controllers need it to feel good just like MnK needs less recoil to feel good. My lord man, i wish ppl would stop with that. MnK snipes ppl through flinch too. That is not just a roller thing.
At the beginning of LF u did see more gun fights... for a whole 2 weeks! Once everyone got their Reaper and passive artifact mods on the ability spam came right back as if nothing was ever changed. Textbook Bungie. Were supposed to wait years now for maybe a real nerf possibly. Probs wont matter tho cuz they by that time we will have 7 mod slots and aspects will give stat bumps as well.
I never cared for PvP. And the precious little I did, died when Iron Banner changed. My first and only Extermination I was tricked into joining and was fighting a cheater, naturally. All that said, I still enjoy these vids. Also, something about a Spider Hunter really fits Zk's personality.
I wish it could be possible to do that kind of sliding movement on controller. It’s just so satisfying to watch and so effective. Anyone know if there’s a way to even kind of replicate it?
The main reason I don't run strand in PVP as a hunter is that the super is just WAY to squishy... you get NO additional resilience while you are in your super and the melee is subpar at best. is it fun to play? sure. not the best in the world though.
Personal performance for the most part. I think it’s just tied to your kd every match because scoring rifts, getting revives, and having the most damage don’t seem to do much. I feel you though man I’m in adept and am only getting around 80 even after a good game
How the fuck is this dude not just consistently but ALWAYS getting meaningful amounts of rank points? Also, 260 for one game?! I get maybe 200 AT MOST if I do not get 5 points three games in a row…
Every single game I play in comp even solo queue is against all ascendant 2.0KDs and higher. I’m hard stuck gold. I’m a good player and expect somewhat difficult matches so the 2.0s are reasonable but the 3-5kds that I run into are absolutely ridiculous.
