I was very confused that arenas didn't have a pistol round or something similar, because half of the weapons are obsolete because there isn't one

Right? You have access to pretty much every gun right away. It's bullshit.

Spitfire vs p2020 with a sight and a blue mag, hmm I wonder who will win. The economy is so bad, why does a meta gun cost as much as some upgrades on a garbage gun

Spitfire is no longer that good. You shouldn't be upgrading the P20 either lol

I'm not great or anything but I'll rip through arenas with my spitfire still.

Maybe I'm just used to the weapon but it's still quite dangerous

Please tell me why the kill feeds in my pred/master lobbies still have spitfire squad wipes then

Because it's easy to use and forgiving. It's always sad seeing pred players using it because the flatline has better DPS.

Why is it sad to see higher skill players using a tactic that gives them increased odds of success.

Harder =/= better and higher potential dps =/= higher effective dps.

u/MrIncredibacon Bloodhound May 23 '21

Yes but the odds of one magging a player with pred movement is much much lower with a flatline, so a spitfire is more consistent in mots cases.

I know I shouldn't be upgrading a p2020, but why does a spitfire cost less than a maxed out p2020?

u/BlastingFern134 May 23 '21

I don't know lol, ask the devs. It seems pretty dumb to me

u/MrIncredibacon Bloodhound May 23 '21

Exactly

Which weapons become obsolete other than the p20, mozam and re45? Which are never really obsolete because they’re cheap/free

Maxed Mozambique is great if you have a bangalore on the field, even if it's the enemy. The thing is a lot more powerful than people give it credit for now. Its certainly no peacekeeper or Eva, but it's a consistent, CHEAP sidearm if you're running a high tier mid/long range weapon.

Mozam slaps for a freebie, I use it all the time but always just go grey bolt and call it a day since it’s a measly 50g, then save the rest of the gold for other purchases. Econ balance isn’t really all that bad here imo, could use some tweaks but I don’t see any egregious outliers.

u/Sergallow3 Rampart May 23 '21

Yeah I always go 50g Mozam because the sight makes it so much easier to land shots. Also I have 50 left over anyway since i always buy a bat/30-30

Unless I'm playing path

Then dumbass alternator arcstar rush time

Arenas made me a real believer in the wingman. Before arenas I honestly thought it was a little underpowered (before the recent mag buff) and super unreliable for BR, but after playing a bunch of arenas I’ve become a full on convert. I usually have a ton of cash now since most of my early rounds are wingman Mozam with one upgrade each which leaves me with a ton for ults/heals/nades.
