The lethal streaks in this game are ridicoulsy overpowered and too easy to get. One sniper chopper getting 10 kills?? Threshers that completely decimate all outdoor areas of the map and still kill you through some tiny window when you're inside? I'm a good player I have over a 3.0 KD but this is absurd when all you can do is swat all these bs streaks away. You can tell that they destroy the fun of the game bc one guy will call in his sniper chopper, thresher, strike team combo and then everyone leaves!

I completely stopped using lethal streaks because they ruin all the fun of the game and I want other players to enjoy it.

I really don't understand why the Hellion Salvo is completely worthless and incapable of killing anything lethal without dying multiple times, but lethals are completely destroyed by swapping out to guns with a special attachment. It would be so much less obtuse if the rocket launcher actually did something.

Obviously I'm not responsible for balancing in the game and the following is my opinion.

I disagree that it's worthless. With the right class, you can use it primarily for anti-streaks. Anti-players too I suppose.

No, I totally understand. Just discussing.

And I have to really disagree with you here man. You don't even spawn with enough rockets to destroy them, and they take a very long time to individually load and lock on. I've been playing COD since like, COD 4 and any game with a locking Rocket Launcher, like BO2, BO3, etc. I've exclusively used that launcher in pretty much every class. But in BO4 the Salvo is literally only good against certain equipment and UAVs/CUAVs, and I run Ghost anyway... So why even use the Salvo?

I just don't understand why you would waste a point shooting down a Sniper's nest/Chopper/Whatever in the 3 or 4 lives you're going to spend locking on and dying over and over. The only way to remedy that is with Cold Blooded, which means you're sacrificing either Gung Ho or Dexterity, which wrecks your gunfighting ability in difficult lobbies, and you're also spending multiple points just on lethal killstreaks. Yikes.

Overall I just highly doubt anyone can seriously use the Salvo for anything other than a meme loadout. It's legit one of the worst weapons I've ever seen in a COD Game and I got WWII's machine pistol Chrome Tiger'd lmao

I too have played every COD title which included a lock-on launcher and primarily do run around with a Salvo. If you want to call my primary class memey, then feel free. :P

I see your points regarding not wanting to yield various perks for your own personal style and, well, that's where we'll always disagree. It can be part of an effective kit. It'll not stop you from getting absolutely rolled though. (Which just happened to me.)

That's your primary class? The one you run around with? I can't quickscope at all lmao.

When I'm running solo, yep. When I'm not, Outlaw + Salvo. I'd wager that it's just easier to excel with a SR on PC.

Jesus the Outlaw?

Oh you're on PC. Dude the Outlaw on console made me want to end my life. Had to use it to get Dark Matter and it almost made me quit, here on the peasant station 4.

I really enjoy the Outlaw. Here's an older clip. Here's a fun shutdown of an enemy Scythe with my normal Paladin class.

This is great to see you having a full discussion with us, it reminds me of the beginning of the game where you guys were everywhere. You should so it more often, when you can anyway.

I mean I definitely do try. I'm as active as I can be if you take a look at my post history.

Sometimes people don't like that I can't have an answer for everything. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

why would you not run hical2 on the paladin and run fmj2 and the salvo? that just seems redundant. i usually go for paladin hc2 fmj2, engineer and cold blood. gives you a great gun with great anti material.

Largely because I can normally land my shots to the effect of not needing HC2 on the Paladin. Is it redundant, yes, but I'm normally cycling my streaks and prepared for most engagements.

I've got a class like this, but instead of the Paladin I run the KN 57 to give some viability in gunfights. I've also put in the fast loader attachment on the salvo with engineer and cold blooded as the perks. Pick zero in every game, and I usually end up with the highest score in the lobby while maintaining a 1-1.5 KDR (which isn't much, but then again this is a support class meant to be played so).

This is effectively what I was suggesting earlier in this thread about it fitting a kit well with the right loadout.
