Which sadistic dev thought a “blackout” game mode would be a good idea?
you literally can’t see a god damn thing, would be “ok” if there was some kind of light source that surrounded your character… but there isnt… just pitch black and loads of go F yourself >.<
why? so dumb
Enemies should be given light sources too.
It could be fun but it was clearly designed when the game (probably) had weapon customisation. Bring a flashlight weapon with you.
want to buy the ability to put a flashlight on my ogryn shield
Gotta take guns with flashlights. Flamethrowers are nice as well just for the illumination.
I run it time to time. I love the atmosphere of them but definitely not a “main” game mode I’d play often like STG.
I like it, but only on a full team of torch-using vets.
I’d like to see the default torch buffed to be slightly worse than the current weapon torch, and weapon torches buffed to have a double-wide beam.
or… body flashlights? just a really poorly planned out and implemented game mode.
really not fun
We’ve got body torches, they’re just weak as a wet noodle. They’re the ‘default torches’ I mentioned.
You do have a body light, it’s unfortunately as bright as a crescent moon on a cloudy day.
I noticed blackout spawns a lot less enemies, kinda balances it imo. Bring a weapon with a flashlight, or a psyker who spams soulfire/smite.
Hell no, that makes it even harder to see anything.
i’m up for fair challenge but blackout is neither fair or fun lol it seems like fatshark was just thinking of what they could do to make it more difficult but forgot games are meant to be fun.
Really? I’m not talking about purgatus, just the soulfire dot on enemies… its basically like a target indicator… from venting shriek. If its a choice between pitch black or enemies with a soulfire dot on them, figured it’d be a nobrainer.
So do i, bubbah. So do i.
Yes. Fewer elites will spawn, and even fewer ambient patrol squads.
Yes, really. Psyker fire (both purgatus and soulfire) is probably the worst visual spam the game has to offer.
Lights out is borderline unplayable when you’ve got random enemies lit up with white/blue fire all around you.
Pitch black is legitimately easier to play with.
To each their own I suppose. I really don’t mind the dark condition, regardless.
You dont have to play that mode
every pug auric dam today seems to be blackout mode lol >.<
It’s fun and can sometimes be a little scary. If you run all Veterans with flashlights it’s pretty tactical, too!
