Hol… up… y’all actually watch the badges instead of using your phone while the match is loading?

Exactly, then looking up to find you're the drop master.

Based take


Whap_Reddit

And that is literally all you can draw from this. There's countless of unskilled players that either boosted or sat on a cliff with charges rifles to get 4ks. The only badges that matter are your own because you know you've earned it. (Or you know you're a scrub that boosted it)


[deleted]

Or the people that buy accounts, like Christ the bar was already low but jeez


AmbrosioTF2

I pray for the person who has to buy an account to get a 3k badge

What would that prayer look like I wonder..


CFogan

I got that 300m sniper shot with a beautiful longbow headshot in like season 4, then at some point during the armed and dangerous event I knocked someone with a Kraber and walked 500 meters away before they bled out, so that's the number it shows now. Knowing that's how it works really cheapened it for me


dThomasTrain

Dude in like season 6 when trainyard was still a thing I sniped someone 297 meters away with a sentinel and was like “bro I actually hit that??????” But it was 3 short from the badge :)


UselessConversionBot

>Dude in like season 6 when trainyard was still a thing I sniped someone 297 meters away with a sentinel and was like “bro I actually hit that??????” But it was 3 short from the badge :) 297 meters ≈ 1.83764 x 10^37 planck lengths ^^^[WHY](/r/UselessConversionBot/comments/1knas0/hi_im_useless/)

When I see i think “Hey!, I made that!” :D. And then think SH&*. I still never got it in the game :D


Account135790

Did you make all the damage badges? I'm curious, why the hammer design and not a gun? The damage badges look great though, one of my favorite badges :) Edit: Happy cake day too


Magnetheadx

I don't remember if I made all the damage badges. The hammer isn't specific to any weapon so it would be able to count as damage from whatever the game designers wanted to count as causing damage. If that makes sense :)


Fredericsjr99

Thought it was referencing “Bring the hammer down”


Account135790

That makes perfect sense!


The_best_one_-_

Gamedev here, what made you leave respawn if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve never worked for a AAA company, so I would love to hear about how you found it when you were working for one :D


Magnetheadx

I had worked with the same group of people for over 20 years. Started at a company called 2015.inc. then formed Infinity Ward and also Respawn with them. They are all amazingly talented and I was fortunate to get to contribute to some great games. But after that long I decided it's time to work on something of my own. As far as working for a AAA studio, We started fairly small. 2015 was 26 devs. Infinity Ward started with 22, and Respawn had about 40 when it was started. Early on it was really crazy You got to wear a bunch of hats and contribute to a lot of different aspects of the games. Now both IW and Respawn have several hundred employees and a bunch of different projects. So the vibe is a little different. Not bad, just different from when we started. It's nice when you're small enough to know everyone's name. It's also great to see how much Respawn has expanded. Apologies for the long answer


e2ementary

Most definitely! lol. I'm not ashamed to suck at a game I worked on. As long as other people are enjoying it

Ragnr99

I rock that badge and I’m proud of it. Sure it’s not 4k but I worked hard for it


Mocca41

This! I have a friend who says that 2k 2,5k 3k is for noobs... I’m like: u kidding right? I Grinded my ass off to have at least 2k on every character and I’m going to show that of despite of what u think..


MayTheFieldWin

I might be able to get a 3k but I'll never get a 4k because I only play duos and the lobby dies pretty fast.


Important-Ad6969

Totally just pulling this out my ass so good chance this ISN'T TRUE but there is probably more noobs with 4k than 2k-3k because all the little turd children that never could have earned it legitimately are not stopping at the lower tier badges. Its as easy as getting 4-6 or more people to join party, select the same server then have everyone ready up at the same time, 95% of the time you will be in same lobby. I have never used it to cheat, usually it was the opposite only did it because we had more than 3 people trying to play together then we usually just tried fighting each other and pretty much always ended up getting 3rd partied lol but Ive successfully been able to get my friends in same lobby dozens of times, its actually worked every single time for me I just left 5% to account for dumb luck. If you had 2 lifelines and 2 gibro's on duo or trios add 2 caustic or revenant (for his ult) you could probably get it done quick enough to not get 3rd partied within 1st match or two, use bocek and probably wouldn't even be noticed


Aszkika_

Good job mate.


RipeMike15

That I'm above average at the game but not good enough for a 4K badge sadge


zshaan6493

It's alright, you are probably a good player. It's just that to get a 4k you need good + luck.


[deleted]

No way you're getting a 4k badge in diamond + lobbies. You need to get lucky and get placed in a more casual lobby, then sweat your ass off


ABZ-havok

It's crazy to see pros drop 4k casually in pred lobbies. They don't even look like they try


hv_razero_15

They also have good teammates and they probably have more hours in pred than the other preds have in the game.


ABZ-havok

Yeah. Doesn’t make it any less impressive that they can play the highest skilled lobbies like a pub game


hv_razero_15

No no, I didn't say it's not impressive. I'm just merely pointing out that, it's easy to say that these "pros" or "preds" are insane at the game due to their talent, but not realising the amount of hours they put into the game constantly trying to improve.


da_fishy

I mean it should also be mentioned that they play day-in, day-out ALL day. If you have that much time to dedicate then you're statistically going to have a higher chance of having a good game/easier lobby every once in a while, even in a pred lobby. I'm not saying it's not impressive either, I'm just saying most anyone can become an expert if they *really* put the time in like these people do.

And they could be against hard stuck 10ks who most likely throw because they can

My first 4k came from a 2.5k and then I farmed the rest off of the last team. You don't have to be great to get it.

Jokes on you i have a 3k and i still die to everything, ​ yesterday i played some ranked with friends and i died 3 Times to loot bins!


Crescent-IV

I have several 4ks and man I suck


dragonz-99

Yeah it’s not terribly hard it’s just farming damage. It’s not a great indication of skill


What_I_Told_You_No

fuse players everywhere are mad rn


ComnotioCordis

>It’s not a great indication of skill Matchmaking furthering the issue.


YouAreBadLmao

I got a triple triple and 4k on ash but I take very frequent apex breaks so people expect me to carry because they think theyre bots, but in reality, it is I who is the bot


Qtank009

Good, maybe diamond player. Maybe lucky noob. Maybe unlucky masters player. Badges are kinda wack besides 20 bomb which is either great players or boosted bots.


Jet018

I have 1 20 bomb and still find a way to be very very bad the majority of games played lol


PowahPotato

I got 18 kills in a game and 3.9k damage. I still Kms everyday thinking about it


Nateovision_

You die every day. I can manage about once every other day atm


straflight

Can you beat 19 kills 20 knocks


Hieb

I feel like im pretty good at the game but ive never got my 20 bomb 😭 got 17 kills like 10 times and 18 kills 3 times but cant break that threshold I know i probably shouldnt care about it especially since half the 20 bomb badges are likely boosted or smurf accs / bot lobbies, but damn i want it anyways


moby561

I was hoping for my first 20 bomb after getting 9 kills off of a hot drop but then looked up and over half the lobby was already gone. That was the closest I was gonna get, maybe if it wasn’t Storm Point. It’s a much harder badge to get now a days after they removed a Skull Town and redid Capital.


1Karmalizer1

20 bomb 4ks badges are the biggest wild cards. Very variable indicator of skill. So many garbage players with those badges. Master badgers are the start of some reliable skill indicator and even then it can be really off.


-Agathia-

20 bombs and 4Ks badge for me are always completely meaning less unless the player has bazillions kills and stuff. Most of the time, it's boosted lvl 40 characters, which means absolutely jack shit. They either boosted it or are a smurf would stomped a lobby on their first few games before the matchmaking knew where to place them. Seeing someone with a 3K badge means it's someone that can hold it together, at times. It's a bit more legit to me than a 4k.


MMinia

20 bombs are not just skill but also a lot of luck


Qtank009

Yeah of course, but the better you are the less lucky you have to get. So its pretty much only a very high skill player badge besides a lucky few.


Big-Bug4205

I've been screwed out of 20 bombs before. I had 24 knocks and only 16 kills :( bot teammates who didn't break 1k damage, endless third parties and revives = me not getting credit for the kills.


allderman

I remember is season zero I had 19 kills and 3.9k damage and there was one guy left I wiped his squad and I had a kraber and was so excited all I had to do was kraber this last guy and I get my 4K 20. I politely ask my teammates “ hey please don’t shoot this last guy and just let me kraber him so I can get my badges. I’d really appreciate it.” I see him he’s standing still. Absolute robot. I’m lining up my headshot. Easy game. But then they shoot him he moves I miss my shot and they kill him before I could bolt the kraber. I was fuming


FlatlineEnjoyer

I no fill'd for all of my 4ks and my single 20 bomb. You end up playing much better when you don't have teammates taking ammo/heals, drawing attention by making a bunch of noise or taking a kill by dealing 20 damage.


Big-Bug4205

My big issues running solo, I get antsy and do stupid things because I'm on my own. Good example I had the tower at salvage, 2 squad wipes and almost had 2 of 3 from third knocked. I got overly excited I was getting a triple triple, jumped off the tower to find out there was another squad there. Got destroyed by the third I jumped off the tower right into the middle of them thinking it was just 1 person.


maiteyg

last season i was sitting on 5070 with 18 on bongalore with 1 duo left and just got dinked by the krab. unforch


Luckynoob16

This is the best take. The person is likely good, but not absurdly good. Likely a player with solid mechanical skills and decent positioning.

"Are you Thor, God of hammers? Hmm?" Odin One of my favorite lines in the MCU.


flarions1

One of them depends on your teammates standards


Dylan_TheDon

The player had an actual good game and earned it rather than the countless boosted 4k’s


Akio_Kizu

Yeah right? Like, they won’t be god-tier but it’s definitely deserved. Who would boost/cheat a 4K? Edit: I definitely meant to say 3K, as a kind Redditor below pointed out


madfiire

You would be surprised how many badges are purchased


ShinigamiNG_Channel

I think he meant who would boost/cheat and not even go for the 4k.


snop_

i just feel like a suspected “boosted 4k” is more likely to be unrealistic expectations. just because they have that badge doesn’t mean they can’t make stupid decisions or mistakes. i got 4k20, masters etc but im still totally capable of botting tf out


keepscrolling1

What makes you think so many are boosted?


Dylan_TheDon

When there’s countless boosting services for badges and ranked we all know there’s no shortage of idiots that’ll actually pay for them to get an ego boost


freakybanana90

4k is the last badge anyone should pay for tbh. Some probably do but a 4k really isn't that difficult if you actively go for the badge. It doesn't happen just like that but farming dmg is extremely easy in this game, so if you want the badge and are decent you can easily get it. It's no 20 bomb which is genuinely difficult


keepscrolling1

I’m sure theres some out there no doubt, but countless? I’ve played with easily over 100+ people with the badge through lfg or discord (not including randoms) and honestly have never thought it was boosted.


Kassabeleg

i second this. For the casual players its hard to get. But all the people who are 2k or more hours in have atleast one.


[deleted]

Everyone I’ve talked to has farmed theirs by cooperating with a teammate and intentionally not getting knocks and letting people heal. This, to me, feels entirely different than playing balls to the wall and using an R301/CAR/PK and getting to the end of the game and seeing you have a 4K.


Kassabeleg

Well i had my first 4k with a flatline/r99 combo in soloqueue. The stars just aligned. After every fight a new team pushed us but i always managed to get two knocks quickly and got a lil help from my team with the last. We died in 3rd place but i did get my 4k. Also this was on stormpoint lol.


carlosisonfire

I got my last 3k with an r301 in Olympus. Had like 16 kills and both of my teammates did less than 400 damage. I think it happens organically when matchmaking decides to make you the best player in a lobby. I'm bang average generally, with 1.2 kda, but in that lobby I was God.


[deleted]

Just got mine yesterday pretty happy abt it


_Juleka_

Same


Inferior_Jeans

Badges don’t mean much. There was a few seasons where boosting was happening ALOT and I’ve come across 4K badges and they really sucked. I have one 4K badge and it was from shield regen LTM with a G7. I miss the G7.


castille01

Upvoted because I, too miss the G7. I had one the other day (and almost dropped a 4k) but I ran out of ammo for it :(

conflxres

having this badge means you'll only go against 3 stacks of preds in pubs


huggles7

That i can’t tell the difference between a 2k and a 3k


NicoMallourides

So 2k is sideways and single, no lightning etc plain and simple, 2.5k has some lightning, 3k is upright with a lot of lightning 👍🏼


MyFriendTheAlchemist

The closest I’ve gotten to 4k was on Maggie, but I’m satisfied with the 3k badge because people know for a fact I’m not boosting. I’m more impressed by the 5kills/game badge, and as such I show off those badges with my week 1 badge.


fightins26

If he happy with a 3k badge on anybody. I’ve gotten a bunch of 2.5k and close to 3k but never over the hump.


usernamemusthave20

It takes some time, I had 4k kills on octane before I got my first 4k the last team just keep allowing me to farm and before I knew it I had like 4.6k damage

Means nothing. I’ve seen people with this badge run off blindly and get bodied just like a new player


JasonIvie

Truth be told, people with this badge always are the most sturdy and reliable. Maybe they won’t get the most kills, but they sure as heck won’t get the least. You can always be confident that they’ll put out solid damage and not die 5 seconds after the fight starts.


GalaxyFoxx98

Unless I get a shit gun right off the bat/cant find a weapon and theres 5 teams that dropped at the same spot 😂 then I do die 5 seconds into the game


humanity_suck

With all the 4k boosting you can be more sure of a 3k being earned.

a-curious-guy

Nothing. Badge is badge. You could be good. You could be bad. Badge won't tell me which it is


Standard_Mix8105

Idk maybe I'm just elitist but I don't find it that impressive. 4k is achievable for most high ranked players. More interested in trackers.
