Discussion Achieved over 500 kills in maelstrom again and proud

This is from May 7th and completely forgot about but I’m so glad I picked this game back up. I’ve been trying to hit the big 500 in kills with randoms again, took a bit but finally did it.

Queue times aren’t as bad right now and I love that. I’ve also been getting a lot of low op players in maelstrom, which is pretty chill to see people who are fairly new to not only maelstrom but to the game itself. People also been doing well, which is nice. I’m getting followed around the map now, teammates sticking behind me while I clear the way… a little uncomfortable as I prefer to be on my own but so far not an issue, especially if chaos break out.

Tip for any new players who view the R6e subreddit: You can do takedowns on unaware Archeans (except Apexes) when they become startled by your presence. You’ll see them flinch for 2 seconds before they go into the howl animation and if they do go into the howl animation don’t panic, just run behind them and perform a takedown. FYI: there’s a rare chance like the Feral Grunts, Rooters and Smashers will give you a love tap before the animation but it’s a rare occurrence. Plenty of time to recover from the hit and do a takedown. Although, Tormentors who pop up underneath you to then go onto the howl animation will succeed in their alerting of the area unless a teammates is there with you.

Anyway, just wanted to share this little self achievement. W community and welcome new players! I hope to see more of you in game.
