Her gadget is incredibly usefull. get a Blitz/IQ combo. Have BLITZ toss smoke grenades into an occupied room, and IQ's scanner detects the outlines of players through smoke/gas.
Mat, I don't know if you don't know this, but we can 'cook' frag grenades in this game. So using that mechanic for flashbangs was what I was expecting you would say.
IQ was balanced around Terrorist Hunt, and is a solid choice for that game mode. Seeing as people can enjoy that game mode more than PvP, they need to balance operators for that game mode too. He gadget can save your team from bombers and hidden nitro, in addition to being able to quickly clear a hallway full of explosives in the absence of Thatcher.
I have used IQ and went 11-0. It is about time you give her some love. Tachanka can be good if you set up out side the room. They never expect that. Great video matt.
I respect the heavier operators, but I have a lot of fun running around (at the speed of sound). That's the main reason why I like the GSG9 defenders - and IQ is the attacker equivalent of them.
IQ's gadget will be very important and tactical in the next season when the new operators are out. The new defense operator can put extra cameras and you need IQ to locate them.
+llamaBossFTW (llamabro) But if you think about it, just because the game has content some might consider somewhat offensive, that doesn't mean players have to act that way too....just saying, no hate
Alpha Lupus why would people be offended by a SINGLE swear word on a M RATED GAME? that's like a (excuse the topic, i hope no anti-bronies become offended) brony becoming offended because someone said they like to imagine equestria in a war. or a christian becoming offended because someone is near a church and doesn't believe in god
+why on earth would anybody Idk man forget what I said, people are weird, we get offended by weird things, we enjoy weird things. My mistake for making the original comment
Yup... that AUG with ACOG site is beast. IQ became my most used offensive operator recently, and that is the loadout I normally roll with. AUG was my weapon from counter strike =)
Once I started playing the game a while ago I loved IQ because of two things which you have mentioned. 1. She is fast and one of the fastest as you mentioned. 2. Her weapon is amazing IMO. Once you said she is useless I gave up on her. Now, you simply proven my point and I may try her again in the coming days.
+RaptorTheMLGAce Sometimes it does, but because the Smokes suck sometimes you think you are hidden but you aren't. If you are in the middle then you are *always* hidden.
IQ is so good in Terrorist Hunt, idk exactly how it is now but I know during the beta there was so many nitro cells everywhere. She's great for checking that before going into a room, and also for locating the suicide bombers.
you can shoot out cameras, jammers, and traps through windows or doors without being really noticed. (better with a silencer) Also, her guns either have high damage or shoot tons of bullets with high velocity like you were saying. I've always found her useful. Especially on new maps to seek out where the cameras are
For a new operator do you think that it would be beneficial to the team if there was a rook type character on the offense that had the ability to lay down an ammo crate. And going along with the operator that can put cameras on the map, what do you think about having an ash like gadget that allows you to shoot cameras across a room or on the ceiling instead of it being like jäger's gadget?
The new camera operator will end up being a stealth buff to IQ. Also, try throwing a flash grenade and then running right after it instantly - if your enemies sees the grenade and turns around, you kill him. You get flashed maybe, but if you expect only 1 enemy to be there it might be worth the mind games.
Hey Matt, do you think that IQs gadget should be changed and made so she can access the cameras scattered around the map? Currently, her gadget is awful, it doesn't help the team and barely helps the player using her. But allowing her to hack into the cameras and look for defenders inside the AO might bring in something new and pretty awesome. What do you think?
+Patrick8475 I don't think this would be very useful really. With the positions of the cameras they are generally placed so the defenders can spot where the attackers are coming from. The cameras just don't have the right positions to be very useful to the attackers if they could hack them. Maybe putting the the cameras on a sort of loop feed would be interesting though.
IQ's gadget is actually very useful. If a member of your team uses smoke then IQ's scanner actually sees through it allowing you to shoot the enemy with your side-arm
i would love iq to be able to hack some of the electronics she sees! maybe the cameras or even the kapkan traps (they could switch colour to let enemys know). i think that wouldnt be too overpowered, but would definetly make her good
always had a thing for IQ, cause of the Aug and her speed like you said, people always countered that her other guns are better, well they're wrong. I feel her talent will become a lot more useful with Valkyrie entering the fray.
her gadget has an extremely good advantage, if you throw in smokes, get out her gadget and u can see the enemy team and kill them, as long as you work in a squad a lot with good players that brings smoke grenades, it is an extremely good gadget, also if smoke blows his gadget, she can pull it out and get a quick headshot with her handgun
They patched the AUG in a patch to reduce the recoil because it had a big kick before the patch but now the recoil is more controllable making a good gun.
I was wondering, following up on your flashbang rant, do you think it could be a good idea to add a hit marker to indicate when the enemy has been flashed?
I love IQ. Her LMG is basically zero recoil, and her gadget lets her see through smoke grenades, essentially giving you free shots. Great synergy with other team members!
Yeah but pulse will also aware where you are and clearly know you are enemy , he then come out and shotgun you while you are still trying to figure out is that a c4 or something else.
she's amazing she can detect Kapkans trap and bandits shock wire nitro cells basically every thing except players,reinforced walls and frost bear traps
IQ has actually been my favourite operator since a few days... First of I thought she was one of the worst, her special thing is atleast. But she's actually really good, you should definitely try her out!
what if IQ's gadget, instead of just showing distance and vague location, showed the specific type of trap/gadget placed and could temporarily stun a gadget once every 15 to 30 seconds or so? Sort of as a low frequency emp jam.
I personally think iq is my best offensive operator, especially when you don't find the bomb or there are multiple bombs, and it's a good counter to pulse I've thrown nitro cells on pulses position multiple times and got sometimes more than one kill. and you can find the roamers and their gadgets
Wow the first 2 minutes of this video totally sold me on this game!! How wonderful to have refresh lag be a strat! This is the way forward for shooters...ground breaking stuff. (Full sarcasm intended) And no I don't care about anyone's arguments or troll comments so save the finger energy and don't bother, I won't be reading them.
If you're running with a fuze or thermite or whoever has nades on your team, the device is very useful, rather than wasting a nade or 2 or a fuze charge, you can spot that jäger's device on the wall
Question: Do you think there should be a 'Quick Round' Mode? Pretty much it would skip the Prep phase. While obviously if you were playing seriously you wouldn't want this, but i get fatigued with the game more often than i would because of the pause and sometimes i just want to shoot the other team. I think it would make the game much more fast paced as the defensive team has a small amount of time to set up defenses, though the Attacking team doesn't know where they immediately are when they start moving. Ive been thinking of something like this for awhile and just wanted to see your thoughts on it.
+KH3player If the maps were bigger and reinforcements and and barricading was quieter than yeah that would work, but it doesn't work in the game how it is right now. You can very easily hear the defenders setting stuff up so it wouldn't really turn out the way you were thinking
When I was playing we never found the bio hazard container then I used her ability and found it.It literally tells you where it is if your close enough.
I'll be waiting for "I was wrong about Tachanka" next week Mat
+Justaguy Yeah. Not happening.
+Matimi0 aww ;-; why you do dis Mat?
+Matimi0 tachanka needs a patch to help him out he is literally the worst operator
+Matimi0 Just try his or Kapkan's shotgun with a silencer on it. You will love it, I promise.
+Matimi0 I bet you said that about IQ just a few weeks ago. ;)
Come on mat you only like her because she's hot
Lol
you can't even see her face??
Da ass
dat ass
Jack would be very mad.
5:51 That only happened because Pulse has shades
lel
lmao
+Contronka "and it was at this moment IQ knew... she fucked up!"
"Deal with it"
i knew it!!!! the FBI shades are protective!!

Do you have a link to one
I LOVE how at 7:53, the music just fits to the shotgun shots :D
Doesn't IQs gadget see through smoke and gas?
Yeah
+Matt Something IT does
It does he has no clue what he's talking about. I'm a iq bandit main
7:55 The way his shotgun blasts sync up with the music is just amazing.
Mat, I don't know if you don't know this, but we can 'cook' frag grenades in this game. So using that mechanic for flashbangs was what I was expecting you would say.
I don't think you can cook a flash bang
You didn't even mention her Commando....that weapon is awesome
IQ has a good gadget if you know how to play it her guns are amazing also
Was waiting a
long time for this vid. Good job mat
Get good scrub. You have no idea what your talking about. :P
Lol
+Jefsua git gud*
excuse me. 400 kills with IQ, watch my IQ ace on my channel. she's great and her gadget is very useful
+Jefsua :D
+Matimi0 you forgot the commando as an op IQ weapon
IQ was balanced around Terrorist Hunt, and is a solid choice for that game mode. Seeing as people can enjoy that game mode more than PvP, they need to balance operators for that game mode too. He gadget can save your team from bombers and hidden nitro, in addition to being able to quickly clear a hallway full of explosives in the absence of Thatcher.

Who is best girl in R6?
frost for sure. OP af shotgun and pretty solid ability
+David Doko You and i sir think alike
+David Doko We think alike.
+David Doko Agreed, dat ass tho.
+David Doko but dat ash doe
I have used IQ and went 11-0. It is about time you give her some love. Tachanka can be good if you set up out side the room. They never expect that. Great video matt.
it also helps that I.Q is completely hot
+Kody Prunella It does only if you are a virgin
Burned...
+Elmaso lmao
IQ's speed is also an overkill when escorting hostage. once you're out of the room there is really small chance, someone is going to catch her.
Damn it matimio, now i can't have her to myself
she never wanted you anyway.
I respect the heavier operators, but I have a lot of fun running around (at the speed of sound). That's the main reason why I like the GSG9 defenders - and IQ is the attacker equivalent of them.
I think IQ is the best operator in the game for terrorist hunt
Buck is pretty good. But, I agree
yes I agree with you because the enemies fill the corners or rooms tons of C4
4 sure
IQ's gadget will be very important and tactical in the next season when the new operators are out. The new defense operator can put extra cameras and you need IQ to locate them.
I hate her weapons kick on console. Thatcher has flashes a better weapon and way better gadget. He's my personal pick for a flash bang operator.
2:01 Sounds like Mat had a stroke lol "Haaaaaaaas"
Today I got banned for cursing in a m rated game, like if you think this wrong
no
+llamaBossFTW (llamabro) it's a mature rated game. that means swearing will happen and kids shouldn't play it
+llamaBossFTW (llamabro) But if you think about it, just because the game has content some might consider somewhat offensive, that doesn't mean players have to act that way too....just saying, no hate

No

IQ's sensor can see through smoke Mat
+AcsGaming Hon he already knows
you can shoot out cameras, jammers, and traps through windows or doors without being really noticed. (better with a silencer) Also, her guns either have high damage or shoot tons of bullets with high velocity like you were saying. I've always found her useful. Especially on new maps to seek out where the cameras are
first the Twich video about "oh I was wrong" and now this lmao never taking anything Mat says about this game seriously.
Oh, how far she has come. Makes me so happy.
You didn't talk about her awesome pink shoes ;)
little did we know IQ was holding matimi0 hostage the hole time he was making this video
With the camera operator coming to defense, she'll probably become more valuable.
Barely
+Jake Beckman explain
+Jake Beckman Thatcher will take care of it considering blast radius of his EMP. Unless the player puts them in such places where it is unreachable.
Jake Beckman
I saw.
I know this is a little late but after the Kapkan buff, IQ is very useful now because she can spot those, much sneakier than before, Kapkan traps.
I think her commando is better
It is it kills so fast
It is at medium and long range, close range I prefer the AUG though.
For a new operator do you think that it would be beneficial to the team if there was a rook type character on the offense that had the ability to lay down an ammo crate. And going along with the operator that can put cameras on the map, what do you think about having an ash like gadget that allows you to shoot cameras across a room or on the ceiling instead of it being like jäger's gadget?
i guess u could say your IQ when review them wasnt very smart
+thunder2.0 You really reached for that one.
+thunder2.0 are you a native english speaker?
Her german "accent" sounds fake as hell, but i played her a lot i always found her to be underestimated. Glad you start to give her some love mat! :D
is it weird that i am attracted to her by just her eyes and bangs.
Leland Long go watch Anime you fucking no life
Leland Long honestly it is lmao
LeafyIsBeefy #nochin

I had a new respect for IQ because of her light machine gun. Oh my god the light machine gun murders so much
I like how the outro video is synced with the music at 7:53
+RandomGuy325 I know right
IQ's gadget is actually very useful. If a member of your team uses smoke then IQ's scanner actually sees through it allowing you to shoot the enemy with your side-arm
P12 sucks though

IQ's Aug is a really good and she's good at rushing into doors unexpectedly
her gadget has an extremely good advantage, if you throw in smokes, get out her gadget and u can see the enemy team and kill them, as long as you work in a squad a lot with good players that brings smoke grenades, it is an extremely good gadget, also if smoke blows his gadget, she can pull it out and get a quick headshot with her handgun
If you put the leder skin on the aug a2, half of it becomes invisible, try it
Fault with your flashes: you wait for it to go off, jump in instantly while they're too busy with running.
I'm happy that you made this video :D
I love IQ because of the g8a1 and the 552 commando, I still haven't figured out the aug a2 yet.
They patched the AUG in a patch to reduce the recoil because it had a big kick before the patch but now the recoil is more controllable making a good gun.
I was wondering, following up on your flashbang rant, do you think it could be a good idea to add a hit marker to indicate when the enemy has been flashed?
I love IQ. Her LMG is basically zero recoil, and her gadget lets her see through smoke grenades, essentially giving you free shots. Great synergy with other team members!
remember the mw2 peekers advantage.. when you'd get knifed by a dude before you even saw him come through the door.
IQ can Spot Pulses Heartbeat Censer when hes using it with her Ability basically turning Pulse into a target for IQ.
Yeah but pulse will also aware where you are and clearly know you are enemy , he then come out and shotgun you while you are still trying to figure out is that a c4 or something else.
IQ with breach charge and Blitz/ Montag... with smokes is a good tactic because I Q can see through smoke with her gadget.
I definitely agree. Nice I'm glad your enjoying her
I'm assuming Mat has gotten more head shots than regular body shots in this game.
Hey mat I'm a new sub love your content dude :)
I totally agree with you about her weapon and her movement speed and the peeking advantage...and her snickers😂
Her guns and her purple shoes make her one of my favorite attacking operators
Lol this went from an iq discussion to a flash bang rant
bruh, Love da vids man.
she's amazing she can detect Kapkans trap and bandits shock wire nitro cells basically every thing except players,reinforced walls and frost bear traps
I really like your video mate it help me a lot
The flashbang didn't work because he was wearing sunglasses, duh
IQ has actually been my favourite operator since a few days... First of I thought she was one of the worst, her special thing is atleast. But she's actually really good, you should definitely try her out!
was waiting for this
what if IQ's gadget, instead of just showing distance and vague location, showed the specific type of trap/gadget placed and could temporarily stun a gadget once every 15 to 30 seconds or so? Sort of as a low frequency emp jam.
There's a solution to every grenade fuse imbalance ever: cookable grenades.
+ColdsideRamrod Flashbangs don't work like that
IQ is really useful for spotting the bomb in a defuse round.
MatimiO I think you'll agree that ash'es R4-c is a head shot machine with the acog scope and grip.
The fact that an operator is now considered useful because of Ubisoft's inability to create functional servers is a really bad sign.
The problem is, that with as useless a gadget as hers, she becomes a selfish "kill only" class much like Buck or Glaz.
I personally think iq is my best offensive operator, especially when you don't find the bomb or there are multiple bombs, and it's a good counter to pulse I've thrown nitro cells on pulses position multiple times and got sometimes more than one kill. and you can find the roamers and their gadgets

Oh golly, a strategy that's been around in FPS games since they first became competitive. Golly gee oh boy
Mat that 4 bang on airplane was filthy
Earlier today I changed my mind about IQ, because of her weapons and speed, and then I log in to youtube and see this.
5:57
Well, I mean, Pulse _was_ wearing sunglasses. :3
She's a good 3v3 player, between the peekers advantage and pulse's device she can be pretty great
If you're running with a fuze or thermite or whoever has nades on your team, the device is very useful, rather than wasting a nade or 2 or a fuze charge, you can spot that jäger's device on the wall
But if Jager has his device then the emp gets destroyed
+trikor97 throw emp on outside of wall. still destroys everything in the room. can't argue with that
Head glitching is annoying when you are dropped but is useful when you do it
With IQ gadjet you can see people who have c4 trough wall. That op af
Question: Do you think there should be a 'Quick Round' Mode? Pretty much it would skip the Prep phase. While obviously if you were playing seriously you wouldn't want this, but i get fatigued with the game more often than i would because of the pause and sometimes i just want to shoot the other team.
I think it would make the game much more fast paced as the defensive team has a small amount of time to set up defenses, though the Attacking team doesn't know where they immediately are when they start moving.
Ive been thinking of something like this for awhile and just wanted to see your thoughts on it.
matthewogden1988
Well i dont mean those wouldnt be available, I just mean they dont have the Prep phase to put them up.
+KH3player If the maps were bigger and reinforcements and and barricading was quieter than yeah that would work, but it doesn't work in the game how it is right now. You can very easily hear the defenders setting stuff up so it wouldn't really turn out the way you were thinking
the peekers advantage happens in airsoft too because of reaction timing
that's how flashbangs really work. What they need is a cook timer on them
When I was playing we never found the bio hazard container then I used her ability and found it.It literally tells you where it is if your close enough.
