Specialist unlocks (after the 800 kills)

[Sir Green]

I feel like Specialist unlocks should require a different number of requirements depending on how easy or difficult it is to get with said specialist weapon/ability, to get a more equal difficulty to complete each specialist across.

primarily on the dubble kill challenges, in my opinion you have a way harder time to get dubble kills with gravity spikes and Hive compared to Purifier and Scythe.
Atleast I think it's way easier to hit 2 people while praying around fire with a flamethrower than having 2 people running trough your flytraps withing a few seconds of eachother (wich can't be too close to eachother because than the first guy would just get hit by both and the 2nd guy wouldn't get hit at all)

I can't speak for all the specialists as I havn't unlocked all of em yet, I'm currently at 3/9 unlocked as far as possible (as I need to complete the other 6 before I can start on the gold suit challenges)

What are your opinions on this?

Don't wonna make anything too difficult. Still have 100 other things to complete. Don't wonna waste time on this. You don't get ♥♥♥♥ for completing them all anyway.

You have to be opportunist when you need to use those ability! you need to use them at the right moment, if you know the rush route and know well the map and pay attention to the minimap and surrounding it might help you a lot.

Ofcourse, earlier today I have a few times where I hit 4-5 of my traps in 1 go, but the problem is not hitting them, It's just that it's so situational to have 2 of em trigger within seconds of eachother whereas with the purifier I got the 3 rapid kills in 2 times just because there it is way easier to be able to run around with something and hitting anyone without much effort compared to having enemies run into stationary traps well timed within seconds of eachother.

That's why I thought it would be better if treyarch acctually balanced them a bit like changing the hive to 1 or 2 rapid kills and the purifier to 5 or 6, even in that scenario you would probably get the purifier completed way faster than the hive but atleast it would be a bit more balanced across the specialists and probably all in all speed up getting all specialists completed while still maintaining a feeling of challange instead of steamrolling half of them and taking ages to complete the other half.

Maybe I should've added this in my original post for more clarity. :)

just go on chaos mosphit for the double kills or in ffa there's some boosters in ffa

Here's a tip for hive: in TDM, plant them behind doorways then run to the other side of the map to flip spawns, so the enemy will start much closer to them. Hopefully a bunch of them will spawn together and run through your hives.

The best way to earn a double kill using Nomad's hives is shooting your hives in a high traffic room. Run to the other side of the map and wait somewhere safe. Until all of your hives have gone off. I find shooting hives at opposing players that are shooting at you is extremely risky, due to the amount of time it takes the hive shot to kill opposing players caught in it. The same thing that killall -q had said pretty much. I had missed that comment before I had started typing.

[Sir Green]

Thanks for all the tips, But acctually this thread was meant for people's opinions about the idea of lowering/increasing requirement's depending on the difficulty of the weapon/ability.

They should leave it alone. They are all easy. Not like they would do anything. Pointless to complain.

The normal double kill challenges are actually rather easy. Now take ruin for example, if you want his hero gear, you need 6 kills per game with the gravity spikes, 6 times to unlock his gear, meaning 2 triples or 3 doubles a game which isn't easy when you take the recharge rate in account.

It's not a complaint it's an opinion and I was curious about what other people think about this

yea I guess some would have an easier time doing the dubble kill challenges than the hero challenges and visa vera, but like I said I'm not at the hero challanges yet so I can't really comment on that part yet :)
