@@Xhardrocker I disagree. On the TS as Clash BB has huge problems against Clash. Cant reload, ads, melee or dash while she's shocking him. Clash is currently a shield counter which is irony at its best.
I think oryx should get the upper hand in these duels. He's already pretty much useless unless you're trying a specific rotate on a map or to specifically counter shields.
@@krulle.storyteling yarp. I know they buffed Sens/Tbird. But maybe Oryx might need some type of attention eventually. But yeah. Frustrating to say the least. If shields could have priority then why couldn't his Oryx dash? They should at least give him that. At least.
0:00 Coreross… how much have you played this game this past year 😅… or just shields in general? That breakthrough feature has been in the game for nearly a year now, minus the castle barricade breakthrough.
I thought because of the shield changes that Clash has become a counter to shields/BB specifically. Once the shock starts, you cant reload, ads or swing with his shield. She basically stops him in his tracks
about shooting blackbeards helmet when rappel. it's because his helmet doesn't have collision so the bullet went through it and hit the hitbox on the back of his head, instakilling him for obvious reasons. You can do this in many cases probably, but i also think it would be hard to set up, but that's just bad design to be honest i think helmets should stop bullets.
The jump through baracades thing has been around since the initial shield rework 😂🤦 the only new thing is bb jumping through castles because of his dash
I was hoping to figure out if the speed boost horizontal grip gives would effect his speed, since the speed boost pistols give doesnt effect shield operators
He knocks her down with the shield on her back, but clash's CCE prevents blackbeard from ADSing and with the new shield nerfs makes him basically put his shield away, so not a good counter unless you catch her by surprise
I challenge you guys to give me, an 8 year Monty main, any reason at all to continue playing him instead of BB next season. Monty is utterly outgunned and outclassed now. BB does almost everythint Monty does, but so much more.
That first feature already existed also clash is a massive counter to bb due to her effect on shields with the electricity completely exposing them super quick
i feel mute should prevent him from opening and closing his window. and before people whine and cry that his shield isn't powered its not the first time that r6 has removed/ added power to gadgets to balance them
@@dillonsparks115 Sledge is already rather that cause they nerfed his speed but he can still take out hatches and make vert where Blackbeard can't. Also the Maestro cam would still be active and doesn't fully destroy it
Lol its not a counter. Because all the other attacking shields just got nerfed to oblivion. So now there's only one real shield op in the game... and the one rubbish op with one purpose just lost that one purpose. Oh, plus literally any random defender can now destroy monty with ease. So oryx doesn't have any purpose apart from jumping up hatches.
you forgot bb can now also go thru a barricaded window without a breaching charge a lot of youtuber is doing a amaru + bb rush in top site because of that
we havent had an operator with a gadget that required lots of effort from the dev team in a long time. blackbeard is effectively a shield op so just a reskin, skopos is just a bullet proof camera that you can press a button to play as, recruit was literally just them taking the monile models, deimos is just a variation on jackal. tubaro would have been the last new mechanic we got that took effort from the dev team and feels unique (not saying every operator has to be like this as I like deimos, but we have seen a clear decline in dev effort)
I think you're kinda being rather unfair and negatively reductive. Azami was like the last one I can think of the top of my head other than Skopos and she's like portable Mira basically. Gadgets are supposed to fill and archetypal role then go from there to feel unique. Skopos is more unique than Maestro cause it's actually able to be switched between and controlled versus a bullet proof cam that shoots. Lion was just version of Jackal cause they're both for Roam clearing and such. Even having variations of something is good cause there's more to use in a given type of mechanic than just relegated to one op
@pink_kino you clearly didn't read my comment thoroughly. I don't have a problem with deimos even though he isn't particularly game changing compared to what we had before because he does fill a niche, he does feel unique, and he is viable. Recruit, skopos, and the new Blackbeard literally are some of the laziest game pieces of game design I have seen in a while. I mean the skopos robots literally bleed red blood and share a magical pair of impacts that depletes from one to the other. The devs literally threw skopos together on a whim and it's blatantly obvious.
@@the_main_character447 It's really not lazy though. Recruit sure but Skopos isn't cause it's literally changes your placement like notice your super nikpicking you're doing with Skopos like there can't be 4 impacts lol.
@pink_kino it makes absolutely no sense why the first robot would not have 2 and the second one also have 2. It makes no sense why the second robot couldn't for example have a shotgun and the first an assault rifle. These choices only make sense if you imagine that the devs are lazy and decided that it is easier to simply swapping the placement when you switch robots instead of actually having the game keep track of a second inactive player that the skopos could take control of.
@@the_main_character447 it's balancing dude, they can't literally give you 4 impacts with an operator like that and idk what you mean game keeping track?
why not test Blackbeard holding hostage? Since he has no secondary
Underrated game mode i wise they leave og 3 modes in casual
Good question

He keeps his scar. And shield.
That cancellation between oryx and bb actually makes sense, it’s like two big guys doing a reverse tug of war trying to push each other down but they are equal in strength
Canon wise I think Oryx outmatches him in strength but Blackbeard has a gas powered shield so that evens the odds
Lol and Big Man Montagne with the biggest shield in the game, whose elite shows him dominating against a literal laser beam... he gets knocked on his ass like a punk. Sigh
@@sockinvaders lot harder to stay upright standing completely still or walking very slowly
All shield ops have had that option to break through barricades like that already last season
Tells you how much he plays shields lol
Ig its to confirm shield behaviours, its a valid question
I think the point of him telling you was that. It doesn't waste a charge. I had a buddy testing it out and he didn't want to do it to waste a charge on a barricade, but it doesn't
@@chasegreaser1166 Yeah what people are saying is that you can go through windows and doors without breaking it first as _all_ shields, the charge is only required for soft walls

I think that level of counter is not intended. Ubi might likely change it before BB goes live.
if its a 1v1 clash will still lose, no questions asked
Yup 100% huge clash buff
@@Xhardrocker I disagree. On the TS as Clash BB has huge problems against Clash. Cant reload, ads, melee or dash while she's shocking him. Clash is currently a shield counter which is irony at its best.
@@atrotoxin1152 And what happens the instant that she runs out of charge? Blackbeard charges and she dies. it's not even close.
Clash is by far the best counter because unlike other shields when he is getting clashed he can’t ads reload or use his ability
I think oryx should get the upper hand in these duels. He's already pretty much useless unless you're trying a specific rotate on a map or to specifically counter shields.
He can be pretty useful in almost every situation just like every other op in the game lmao
Yes i true but i think its also very hard to time it , to do the same animations at the same time
I've seen an Oryx dash at an attacker and timed correctly, the attacker killed Oryx. Melee style.
@@jacobreserved2144 yes i can understand why he rarly get picked.. that got to be so frustrating 😡

Does Blackbeard use his deagle when taking the hostage ?
Blackbeard doesn't have the deagle next season. His assault rifle is considered his secondary.
So when he holds the hostage he uses the assault rifle????
@@katgaard655
The detail of the shield plates adjusting when you look down is the type of details I love see programmed into these games
4:43 Does the ice also stop you from aiming down sights since it would be freezing the mechanical gears in the shield?
Ur thinking about it from an irl pov too much imo
0:00 Coreross… how much have you played this game this past year 😅… or just shields in general? That breakthrough feature has been in the game for nearly a year now, minus the castle barricade breakthrough.
Can't all shield ops bash thru barricades like that?
Yeah
they can
BB's the only one that can go through castle barricades, but yeah, Blitz is a menace when he pushes through a barricade like that.
Castle didn’t need another counter that destroys his existence in a second… I wish my boy was given more love
He should not be able to go through castle barricades so easily
That's honestly what I was thinking. Making me question what the barricades are even made of that someone could just bash through it so easily. 😂
0:00 Fun fact! For the entirety of Y9S3 all ballistic shields have been able to immediately breach barricades!
4:45 no, its because blackbeard is gas powered, whereas blitz flash is an electronic. Mute disables electronics
You can vault through barricades windows and doors right now with blitz and Monty as well. This has been around for a while
Clash is an insanely strong counter to shields now. Her stun can also reset and stacks the guard breacks
6:28 Tbf shields already does that just not with a AR lol
as a bb main i was so worried they'd butcher my boy like they did my old main the lord but they actually mad him so much more fun
I love the oryx blackbeard interaction it's so perfect, the battle of the two manliest ops and it's a stalemate
I thought because of the shield changes that Clash has become a counter to shields/BB specifically. Once the shock starts, you cant reload, ads or swing with his shield. She basically stops him in his tracks
Blackbeard had a destructible shield (in theory) when he first released. It had 800HP.
Coreross mentioned in Evan Braddock video
This rework is going to make him way overpower
about shooting blackbeards helmet when rappel.
it's because his helmet doesn't have collision so the bullet went through it and hit the hitbox on the back of his head, instakilling him for obvious reasons.
You can do this in many cases probably, but i also think it would be hard to set up, but that's just bad design to be honest i think helmets should stop bullets.
i want to add that for the counter part clash is pretty effective

I was hoping to figure out if the speed boost horizontal grip gives would effect his speed, since the speed boost pistols give doesnt effect shield operators
I have a question is blackbeard able to knockback clash like an airjab does or he just shield break her?
He knocks her down with the shield on her back, but clash's CCE prevents blackbeard from ADSing and with the new shield nerfs makes him basically put his shield away, so not a good counter unless you catch her by surprise
Every shield can break barricades without knocking.
Does a vertical grip still affect the recoil control despite him only using one hand for the weapon with the shield out?
does blackbeard destroy kapkan traps when using the ability breach option?
Can the 'steamed' dash kill enemies though? I assume so but haven't seen anyone mentioning it
Does bb and clash counter one another
I'm more hyped for the sens buff, it's going to change the meta. Mark my words
Lol they GOTTA fix that helmet hitbox ppl are gunna cry about it
Why would they fix it? They'd have to fix every helmet if they touched his.
They SHOULD fix all hitboxes though
I challenge you guys to give me, an 8 year Monty main, any reason at all to continue playing him instead of BB next season. Monty is utterly outgunned and outclassed now. BB does almost everythint Monty does, but so much more.
you can do the breakthrough with all shields and have been able to since the rework...
what makes the barricade bash different from other shields?
Castle gets countered by basically every operator at this point
That first feature already existed also clash is a massive counter to bb due to her effect on shields with the electricity completely exposing them super quick
How can we get access to the console test server?
0:00 all shield ops can do this
i feel mute should prevent him from opening and closing his window. and before people whine and cry that his shield isn't powered its not the first time that r6 has removed/ added power to gadgets to balance them
His sheild is more spring loaded and folding style why would mute effect that when it takes no electricity to do so?
what about the c4 damage wile amed inside ?
Damn dawg where tf the “welcome”
Going for traffic I assume
0:00 like any shield in the game ?
All shields can go through wooden barricades.
Blackbeard's destiny is to always start OP and then get super nerfed real fast. Expect the same here lol
i give it till season launch for them to remove his nades
Clash also stuns the hell outta BB
If Blackbeard uses his charge on clashes shield, will clash get knocked down?
I wanted to see him pick up the hostage :(
Thanks Ross, love you❤
The massacred my boy.
Clash is the best counter to him. The new guard break and clash zap renders BB useless!
I think castle will get the next buff
LOL @ :40
when is this update out

What about glass down vs nitro cell
What does the Blackbeard Elite look
Like now?
