As I write this I have 3 hours to install left so while I’m waiting fill me on some of the big changes.

I haven’t played consistently since Flores’s Season and I played on and off, until Sens came out, so I have some of a grasp on the characters in between, but after I really have no clue. Reddit has also recommended me this sub every now and then so I might have some idea about a few things that have happend.

So my main questions are:

What happend to Nokk and Warden? They were always a meme when I played, but I’ve seen them both talked about alot in my absence. Did the things they counter just becom super meta or was there some shift to their kit that I missed?

Are there any other operators that are drastically different? Like all of sudden did Valk or Maestro suddenly become awful? Is Amaru not worthless anymore? Stuff like that. Also meta defining are the new operators after Flores.

Are dedicated hard breachers and/or their enables still essential? I know at some point they gave ops 2 hard gadgets instead of just one and secondary EMP gadget. Did this affect things enough to where you don’t need a Hibanna/Thatcher or something every game. I imagine that’s still Ideal, but is it viable to just run Secondary Hard Brach op, Secondary EMP op, and 3 other bozos?

How’s my boy Capitão? Is he still a baller?

I’ve seen a few clip of people using the F90 has it become super good or is just coincidence? Are there any other forgettable guns that suddenly hot shit? I’m thinking along the lines of Blackbeard’s DMR, the Super 90, Kaid’s Aug.

Lastly I heard so controversy about them changing frag grenades, something about not being able to cook them anymore or something. I get that it’s a big deal, but how have things settled? Are frags irrelevant now or are they just used differently now?

Sorry for the question overload, but it’s truly been a while and I just wanted a little guidance as to what the hell is going on. Any help would be appreciated and thanks for your time!
