New Bomb Squad is so awesome!!


(Tanker_Ray) #1

Hey, why don’t we have loadout, or augment discussion?

Really, this new Bomb Squad is clearly the best option among awareness augments.

I don’t know the exact detection radius, but highlighting dangerous projectile and auto-defense systems is way too awesome…

Helps my survival way too much!

I’m gonna fall in love with this option until Bush’s turret shoots through walls, and Proximity mines jumps over you to explode.

Bomb squad might be on the edge of being way too good. i mean, there is absoutely no way that you can step on a mine if you have it, you really can’t. We will have to see what happens, i have a feeling people are going to end up having it on all their loadouts.

It’s bugged right now. You shouldn’t be able to see deployables and grenades through walls. It’ll probably be fixed soon.

But hey, its still better than the old Bomb Squad!


(KorpKyuuSama) #4

it is very good, i been using it a lot. but i’m sure they gonna nerf it :\

Really? that was a bug?? nooooooooooo!!! but whatever.

Still better than the old Bomb Squad that were only useful against mines.

Good ;] but I haven’t seen any deployables through wall so far.


(Izzy) #7

actually, I find it a bit disturbing. When a nader spams, and you see red things all over the place, even behind walls, things you shouldn’t be worried about, … Well, don’t like it that much


(Faraleth) #8

Yep, technically you should only be able to see deployables in your line of sight, however it’s a little bit bugged in which you are able to see some through certain walls. :slight_smile: However, it will still be VERY good, as it will use the same logic Redeye’s goggles do for enemies, but for deployables instead, meaning it will still be pretty impossible to step on a mine unless it’s very cleverly placed on a tight corner you run 'round. :stuck_out_tongue:

This is one of the bugs that i hope will never be fixed.

If that’s the case then I swear to God I haven’t fought against an enemy with Bomb Squad. It’s like no one ever sees my mines.

My only loadout with Bomb Squad is Crotzni Phoenix and G75 Veteran Sniper Red Eye, so I still step on mines with other mercs XD

Well, that 20 sec for mine is so insane…

Like @DMaster2 said, wish they would keep it this way if Proxy will be kept strong like nowdays.

I’m a ch33ky c*nt so I don’t actually use my mines for trapping. Chances are I’ll toss a mine in the middle of a group and shoot it before it arms to pull off the maximum trollage.

I imagine having a sticky on your face and the red triangle covering all the screen


(FalC_16) #14

damn, new augment? Am I under a rock or smthin?


(KorpKyuuSama) #15

not new, but buffed like Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1975

I’ve seen pubbers run straight into stationary lasers before.

Pub players are a special breed.

I hate you and everything you stand for :slight_smile:

I haven’t actually played with a card that has bomb squad on it since the change. I guess I’ll have to try it out!

Seeing airstrike markers and such through walls and even floors/roofs (e.g Bridge 1st stage “ninjastrike” on the…bridge) makes me, as an user of this perk, really hope it will be fixed soon so I can make up my mind is it honestly worth it. For now it’s ridiculously good.

It is now spider sense.
