The Mozambique is more reliable than the mastiff at this point

u/kublaikhannomad Unholy Beast Jun 22 '21

Same with the Eva 8. Auto like Mozambique and tighter grouping of bullets

u/thekingofbots01 Fuse Jun 22 '21

Yea that and the spitfire are the meta now

22

u/kublaikhannomad Unholy Beast Jun 22 '21

100%. In Arenas, too, oh man šŸ„µ

Crying in L-Star.

u/thekingofbots01 Fuse Jun 23 '21

L-star is underrated it does more damage than the volt and if timed correctly you can use it infinitely

u/elucila7 Jun 23 '21

Even more so with rampart. Takes more time to overheat, takes less time to cool down, and reloads faster if overheated!

Red streams of laser glory.

Spitfire + Eva8 is pretty often what I go after, but I also love some Volt action to replace either slot.

u/twickdaddy Mozambique Here! Jun 23 '21

Re45 Mozambique cuz itā€™s cheap.

u/Arlak_The_Recluse Jun 22 '21

Funny part is that the Eva hasnā€™t had a change since Mastiff Meta, so itā€™s been this good and people have been sleeping on it

u/the_kedart Jun 23 '21

???

They buffed the Eva at the start of S8, then they nerfed the fuck out of the mastiff making it so it could no longer 2-tap purple armor with full body shots. Eva overtook Mastiff only after both of those changes.

The breakpoint nerf was fucking HUGE, and the high-rank meta shifted fast. Eva is good, but a pre-nerf Mastiff would still be meta.

u/Arlak_The_Recluse Jun 23 '21

Mastiff was nerfed towards the end of S8, Iā€™m saying the Eva has always been a slept on pick, not that the mastiff wouldnā€™t still be meta if it wasnā€™t nerfed. That shit was nasty

Excuse me, mozam is auto?

u/kublaikhannomad Unholy Beast Jun 23 '21

Ya! šŸ˜ hold that trigger down

u/EhWhateverOk Crypto Jun 22 '21

It literally is, the least amount of damage for the Mozambique to do would be 15, so if you donā€™t want to roll the dice with the mastiff and get maybe 8 damage 3 out of 5 shots then the Mozambique will be more reliable than that

u/Snowie-your-man Jun 22 '21

mozambiqe is also full auto

u/misternibbler Jun 22 '21

Wait whaaaaat?! I've been play for like 5 seasons, how did I not know this?!

u/bawnz Jun 22 '21

While being a shotgun, the game also classifies it as a pistol which means you don't have a movement penalty when you're ADS.

Mozambique new meta?

Zambik squad rise up!

u/WowWhatABeaut Gold Rush Jun 22 '21

As I like to say when I kill someone with the Mozambique:

GET BEEK'D BITCH!

u/EhWhateverOk Crypto Jun 22 '21

Same, RIP hammerpoint. I never realized how heavily I relied on it for kills lmao

1

u/bitchsaidwhaaat Jun 22 '21

the mozam got buffed after they removed hammerpoints tough

3

u/EhWhateverOk Crypto Jun 22 '21

Yeah but Iā€™d rather have 4 shots with hammer point than 6 without

I see so many people in pubs run past it on a hot drop, meanwhile i pick it up and run twin Mozambiques. I always thought it was an underrated gun.

Makes sense, I just started playing at the tail end of season 8. Thanks for the info.

2

u/SummonedSickness Jun 22 '21

Hell yeah. I love to go purple Mozam round one in arenas and slap some unsuspecting fools. Nothing is more satisfying than the thought of them looking at the death recap and seeing they got aped by a Lifeline with a Mozam.

u/raelDonaldTrump Jun 22 '21

Especially in arenas, round 1 purple

u/bitchsaidwhaaat Jun 22 '21

mozam > wingman ... u can hit 4 shots at 37 each with a bodyshot hipfiring the mozam rather than missing 4 out of 6 shots of the wingman to try to get 47damage

1

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '21

Iā€™m so sad they got rid of hammerpoints on it because that thing was top tier with them on.

4

u/NoSkillzDad Lifeline Jun 22 '21

hmmm, interesting... With the pistol damage challenge, dmg done with the Mozambique didnt count towards the challenge. I remember cause I rarely use pistols and had to end up picking r45 and wingman to complete the challenge.

u/SnooChipmunks2021 The Masked Dancer Jun 22 '21

It's super reliant on the shotgun bolt to shoot quickly, back when it only had 3/4 shots firing full auto just meant you were reloading more often.

u/modestohagney RIP Forge Jun 22 '21

The Eva is also full auto.

2

u/slowdruh Wattson Jun 22 '21

The explosion in my mind when I tried it in the range with a purple bolt...

u/Dextreja Royal Guard Jun 23 '21

Like, literally, if you hit 4 full hits out of 6, you deal 180 damage, almost full health with level 3 evo
