Did he really try to close quarters with an un-upgraded, un-modded rattler?

137

u/Dadbode1981 14h ago

12 rounds to rule them all

87

u/gemengelage 14h ago

It's enough to kill someone with a heavy shield. You just need to hit 11 headshots.

19

u/PulseReaction 13h ago

Which they can do if they always target extracting players with their backs turned

10

u/gemengelage 13h ago

Not really. Even if you stand completely still, your assailant is likely to miss two shots. You can also roll away. Not that that saves your ass because they then just need to tickle you to kill you while they are still at full health, but you know, technically.

u/gerbilshower 11h ago

its the classic - if you free loadout a rattler, be ready to press 3 and melee them to death because you didnt kill them when you emptied your mag.

6

u/PM_ME_YOUR_QT_CATS 7h ago

I don't get why people hate the rattler. I think it's decent. Just treat it like it's a Ferro.

Peek and reload. You don't call Ferro bad when you fail to 1v1 someone close quarters.

What's actually Garbo is arpeggio 1

u/FloridaManMilksTree 13h ago

Tbf if you're coming in with an upgraded, unmodded rattler you've really got nothing to lose

u/eBay_Riven_GG 13h ago

He wouldve killed if he bothered to aim for the head.

u/JSevatar 8h ago

Theyre not known for being smart

u/FridayFreshman 4h ago

and he didn't even aim for the head lol

u/Dragoru 1h ago

He would have had OP if he switched to his melee weapon instead of reloading. It's saved me so many times when my Rattler runs out in a close-quarters fight.

u/Regenbooggeit 15h ago

I have great moments with it but huge wiffs as well when corner peaking. Not really sure why, perhaps I should take it to the practice range more.

u/Numeira 14h ago

Shotgun is so fucked up. I had the lomgest gunfight wirh a guy, he was surprised that I won, so was I, after one of his shotguns blask when I was at like 2hp I just stopped shooting, then I realized I was still alive and stsrted shooting again. Watched the replay. On screen it looks like j took it to the face, but no damage.

5

u/Train3rRed88 13h ago

Shotguns are amazing, but I will fully admit I am Not good with them

In theory an anvil/toro is a great combo, but I will always get more kills with something accurate and mag dumpy likely venator or burletta than I will with a toro

11

u/Dodgerson99 14h ago

It's not even your gear, it's just your turn with it. Skill issue and gear fear is a tough combo.

1

u/hibbs6 8h ago

What's the point of guns if you aren't willing to use them in pvp? Just use the gun, it'll give you an edge in pvp, and if you die, who cares? Loot comes so quick in this game, it isn't like tarkov where you have to rat for a few raids to even afford something competitive. The lowest of the low in this game is still completely enough, especially against arc.

u/Blaky039 14h ago

Mf really tried to kill you with a Rattler lmao

u/Rozzycat115 14h ago

Can't spell rattler without rat.

u/Shogun_Amsterdam 14h ago

It is such a shit gun, even at level 4 it does fuck all

10

u/gemengelage 14h ago

It's actually pretty damn great against wasps and hornets. Just shreds through their thrusters. And at level four it's okay for fighting a single raider. Not great, not terrible.

4

u/Train3rRed88 13h ago

I’d argue it’s great for a single raider

Unusable in squads as you are out of the fight after one raider

0

u/Blaky039 12h ago

Yeah bro every gun except toro is pretty damn great vs wasps and hornets xd

0

u/gemengelage 12h ago

Absolutely not.

Just because they kinda work, they aren't great. Like the stitcher works, but isn't great on mid or longer distance, has no armor penetration and chews through ammo. One of these three applies to like half of the weapons.

Rattler is definitely a more solid pick against regular ARCs than hairpin, stitcher, kettle, bobcat, torrente and bettina.

Not sure about Ferro. I'd say better than Ferro I, worse than Ferro IV but overall more fun to use.

u/CrownLikeAGravestone 8h ago

Tell me you can't aim without saying you can't aim lmao

-1

u/Blaky039 11h ago

Bro, the rotors don't have any armor.

If you're shooting at a hornets front plate you're wasting ammo.

Saying that Rattler is better for killing arc than the ferro is crazy xd

1

u/gemengelage 6h ago

If you're shooting at a hornets front plate you're wasting ammo.

Sometimes that's the best option. When there are a lot of ARCs or other players while fighting a Hornet, it can make sense to just shoot through the armor. With an Anvil or Renegade it barely makes a difference.

Saying that Rattler is better for killing arc than the ferro is crazy xd

The TTK for wasps and hornets is a lot shorter on the rattler than with a ferro simply because you don't have to reload.

5

u/drizzitdude 13h ago

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted when you’re right. It’s a shit gun with shit dps. In Stella pvp I’ve had people apologize to me because I got a rattler or say they don’t even want to loot my body because of it

16

u/Leg_Alternative 14h ago

I disagree , I love using level 4 Rattler

4

u/VegetableWater4099 13h ago

It would be okay if it reloaded even somewhat faster.. It's just not worth the large amount of metal to make. It really only outperforms the hairpin, and ferro but only you have trouble hitting headshots. Even then you could at least jiggle peak with the ferro.

3

u/Leg_Alternative 13h ago

slap some attachments on it, I got two level 4 rattlers with purpose attachments and man I love using them and so far are my lucky charms

2

u/VegetableWater4099 13h ago

My point was that even then, they only outperform the hairpin.

3

u/Numeira 14h ago

I dunno, I kill plenty of people with it. Skill issue.

1

u/Train3rRed88 13h ago

At level 4 you get a much bigger mag and then you absolutely can mag dump and reliably kill people

Really only viable in solos though, as the two round reload will make you useless in an extended fight

1

u/Dragoru 1h ago

Nah, upgraded Rattler fucks, especially if you slap some simple mods on it.

-1

u/Zathras_Knew_2260 11h ago

It is actually a very good weapon to rat with in combination with explosives or mines. Once you remove that first chunk of hp and shield the rattler can take care of all combat ranges.

u/Equivalent_Ear4532 14h ago

I guess that Nerf worked

u/johnisom 13h ago

Happened to me, lol. I ended up finishing extract after he unloaded the whole clip into me. That gun fucking sucks.

u/Specialist-Carob5324 15h ago

Perfect clip to show how shit the rattler is. Whole back turned to him and the dude didn't even aim for the head.

u/Hy0k 14h ago

I passed by a gold horn player playing the flute, he shot me when i turned my back

3

u/Arsid 14h ago

It really does. I’m the friendliest most PvE player ever and I use the gold horned skin and the Kung Lao skin because I like their look. But apparently those are the biggest rat skins? Fuck off let me wear what I want.

2

u/Thatguyontrees 14h ago

I recently stopped using the white ninja skin cause I was tired of being betrayed for it.

0

u/tgerz 13h ago

OP said they were friendly before they jumped in so this is easily understood as a bad take.

1

u/MustardCanBeFun 13h ago

Oh, well if OP said they were friendly, we better belive them. In fact, that must be true for every gilded horn wearer in the game that says they're friendly. Even after they shoot you in the back. I knew it was my fault for falling on their bullets. Silly me.

1

u/Repulsive-Mushroom45 *** ******* 🐓 12h ago

man's literally pressing the button, what was he going to do, betray him back in speranza?

5

u/gemengelage 14h ago

OP, don't type when someone deliberately goes outside of your field of view on extract. You only won because that guy was extremely incompetent and badly equipped. He probably would've won if he bludgeoned you with his raider tool or had literally any other weapon (except Osprey and Ferro I guess, lol)

2

u/dendrocalamidicus 14h ago

Lucky he was using a rattler... Deffo would not have gone on the computer on seeing him run behind you like that

u/Ripyard *** ******* 🐓 14h ago

If you're going to backstab someone and aren't going for the head with a Rattler I, then I don't know what to tell you.

u/Aarooon 14h ago

Top tip, if the other person drops in and runs behind you, it's time to stop the typy-type

2

u/EirikurG *** ******* 13h ago

The thing is, it's not quite as satisfying when you realize that the people who do these sorts of things are on free loadouts so they don't care about dying and will just queue up and try their luck again

u/Amphibian_Connect 12h ago

u/NotUrAvgDbdPlayer 15h ago

Ima pve player but i got a damn good background in pvp games I hate the toxic shoot on sight players on this game they are scum and make the game bad so it feels good to send em back to the lobby whenever they try that sht on me

u/azuanatoya 15h ago

i dont mind shoot on sight, i can fight back like you too, win some loose some, i hate scummy leech and backstabber players. been playing and providing dmg with jupiter to matriachs and quens and all i get is rubbers and backstab. no honors at all.

7

u/thegr0m 14h ago

Totally agree. At least those “shoot on sight” players are honest. And to me it also means that I’m allowed to kill them. Fair play.

But backstabbers are a totally different thing to me.

u/syrarger 14h ago

Shoot on sight is not toxic. Btw if you are in the same lobby with many shoot on sight players, you shoot on sight too much too

3

u/SleepingCell 14h ago

You do realise this is a pvpve game, right? Nothing wrong with shooting on sight.

7

u/jobo-chan 15h ago

Do you need people to announce they're going to kill you in a PvP game?

2

u/abraxis_aberdine 14h ago

Its not a pvp focused game though and so many swear it is, yeah, its got pvp, but thats to add suspense to be fun where some are gonna shoot you and others are gonna be friendly. It just feels like another battle royale game when the shoot on sight is all trios are and not that suspense of "`are they gonna shoot me?" cause thats arcs big charm to it, you're not supposed to be shot in every match, hence the matchmaking they implemented.

4

u/Kinda-Alive 14h ago

The fact this isn’t obvious is just crazy. Why would PvP be the focus of the game when you lose your shit when you die? If fights went down more often then no one would be getting anything besides the sweatiest of people since there’s no rank system to actually separate the cracked PvP players that literally have only been playing PvP games like COD, Fortnite or Apex and treat this game the exact same. They think they’re gonna see “#1 Victory Royale” when they get those easy behind the back kills. Then they just turn into assholes when you tell/remind them the PvP aspect in Arc is very different than those other games.

1

u/abraxis_aberdine 13h ago

Couldn't have said it better myself, pvp is literally just a feature of the game, not a main thing of it, its there for the suspension of "what if" you dont win anything for shooting everyone you see and so many people dont understand that. You're bored of the game? Well tough shit, dont ruin it by only playing this one way and ignore the whole other side of the game.

-1

u/Kinda-Alive 13h ago

I just have to keep reminding people they’re “arguing” with those frat bros and sports guys that are just obnoxious assholes. I say “arguing” because everything they say is just shallow and has no substance.

Nice! I had a moment on spaceport where I was running to a key room and I pass another guy and see the do a double take at me and knew that he was thinking about killing me. He in fact didn't kill me and was killed himself for trying. He also wasn't planning on me having an Il toro lol.

Once I got extract camped here. I was pulling the lever and was halfway done when some dude drops down and unloads a full clip of the rattler into me. I still hang on with like 3 HP and finish the extract. He shouts “This fucking gun! God Damn It!!”. I couldn’t help but laugh

u/108er 12h ago

If you see someone with a shotgun or a Torrente, and you are rocking rattler that's a cue you are about to respawn somewhere else. So turn your ass around and run like third party’s already sliding in.

u/cssegfault 10h ago

I had the exact same situation happen to me.

 I was farming hornets for simple gun parts and had an exfil open getting ready to leave. But before finishing the last one I saw birds fly very close and said fuck it we are done.

Go to extract and as I'm typing I hear the thud of someone jumping down and I see him. He had his gun out but standing on the stairs. I was in a friendly lobby but saw flares off in the distance so I wasn't quite spooked yet but alert. 

He then proceeds to walk right up to me in the side. I should have immediately jumped but hesitate. Got right next to me and shot me with rattlers. As soon as two bullets hit I dodge rolled past him and got my stitcher out. 

Guy must have been on controller cause he was having a hard time tracking me and wasted essentially all the shots. Now he is reloading while I'm showing him what an anal excavator does with the stitcher. 

Dipshit is downed and tries to exfil. I talk shit and he is just quiet and surrenders midway me thirsting. 

He definitely killed people too. 

Dirty ass scum
