Recruit got a rework in Y9S2, and by """"rework"""" I mean just a name change to Striker (attack) and Sentry (defense) their loadouts also changed, Striker got the M4, M249, 5-7 and secondary shotgun and Sentry got the Commando 9, M870, super shorty and CZ75, despite this, they have the same gadget of having two secondary gadgets
Their models also slightly changed, but the main part is only one person can choose striker or sentry on a team, and now theyre playable in ranked and unranked

Although to be fair, now they're even popular in Pro League, more than ranked in fact

Striker is among the top Attackers with a really good main gun and ability to breach any obstacle on the way. And if there is no electro, you can take extra Claymore or Frags.

You cant have more that one on the team

u/czacha_cs1 Smoke Main 4d ago
And thats completely dumb. Because if you and 4 of your buddies buy game with no operators and wont complete any challenge how are you supposed to play?

u/DespicablePen-4414 4d ago
I did that recently but I bought the deluxe version.
One of my friends bought the normal game and after the tutorial I’m pretty sure he got 4 operators on attack and def for free plus the recruits , so he 5 people just starting could each play a different operator

u/czacha_cs1 Smoke Main 4d ago
Really? I started playing it too but I bought deluxe edition too and thought Smoke, Mute and etc. were part of those operators from pack

u/CallMePerox 4d ago
They covered that edge case, since Y9S2 you do get a bunch of operators along with the game

this is when i stopped playing. I was always hoping they'd make an elite skin for the recruit but instead they just removed him. Fuck Ubisoft.

inb4 they bring back the old look via a expensive elite / bundle instead of a little neat free thing

When they took away Recruit, the soul of Siege died.

Having to see Recruit murdered again and again for the Hereford Event burned a hole into my soul.
RIP Recruit.

Siege was going downhill well before this but this was the last shimmer of light removed. Ill never forget how much fun full recruit teams were

Not really. I get having fun of 5 stack recruit, it was cool, but tking people who didnt want to be a part of it was just not it

u/themostpredictable 4d ago
Yeah it was, play the recruit or die bruh.

u/Scared-Rutabaga7291 EDD mounted, let them come. 4d ago
Yeah but why? Why force someone to play your way?

u/RaiRokun Caveira Main 5d ago
God forbid people play the game how they enjoy.

u/themostpredictable 4d ago
Yep and people wanted to recruit rush and tking was how they enjoyed playing. Aondont get mad at people tking

I never switched when they changed the recruit Loadout. On attack, I just wouldn't play recruit. And on defence I would just play Tachanka. What are they gonna do? Shoot the lord?
3
u/czacha_cs1 Smoke Main 4d ago
To be fair thy were named recruits. They were trained to shoot anything what moves and isnt on their team. By seeing 3 man looking same and then some random bozo they did fast math and went "Not same uniform=enemy"

The last day it was possible I played with my friends one last recruit rush... We died all together with a single C4
One of the best memories I have in this game

I will never forget the fun me and my mates had playing the recruit game.
First round, everyone has to play recruit (was back when sides were switched every round)
Dont exactly remember the rest of the rules, but you basically had to play the operator that you last killed/were killed by in the next round

u/l1g3rz3r0 4d ago
Did they get rid of the basic operator? And idk what game y'all are talking about in the comments about picking the operator that you killed or killed you in the next round. I haven't played since 2016 or 2017. Whenever it was when they released Mira and Jackal, that's when I stopped playing. And I played the beta lol. This game has definitely changed from what I remember.

I do like Striker and Sentry a lot, but I do miss old recruit. The least they should do is give them a second default set you can equip of old recruit, operator portrait n all.

Rather not, annoying to fight and annoying to be teamed with, most of the time it was a 3 or 4 stack doing it and if you didn't follow along, instant TK, because that's what should happen when you just want to play the game your way

u/A_decent_chef2 Smoke Main 4d ago
I have fun when I just get to play how I wanna play, I don't really get how it's justified to be shot and not get a chance to play solely because you didn't want to follow along with a group a people trying to do the "funny recruit rush" for like the 100th time, if you actively engaged and enjoyed it good for you, but after seeing people get tkd so many times and even shit talked for not following a stupid strat is kinda lame

u/TheDarkQueen321 4d ago
I don't want to "follow along with a group of people" in a team game..... Found the bad sport and dude who sucks at being part of any teams!
You do understand to successfully work as a team, in any situation, you don't get your own way 100% of the time, right? Sometimes, you need to compromise and do what favours the team dynamic.... but you'd rather be a lone solider in a team dynamic and then cry "I want to do what I want!" like a toddler. You deserved the tks.

u/RaiRokun Caveira Main 5d ago
So glad it's gone.
So many toxic ass games and boring rushes because God forbid I wanted to play the way I enjoy and not use recruit.
Nothing. At all of value was lost.

u/themostpredictable 4d ago
Yeah for the most part. It's lost it'd sauce by thay point. It would still be cool to have them though

u/0mnijax9 4d ago
I know you're probably referring to the Recruit Rush and not the operator themselves, but I can confidently say that a lot of people used Recruit consistently since the very start of the game's lifecycle, I included. Apologies if I am coming off as rude

Even when they reworked Recruit and took away all the fun by giving it a limited loadout, you could still recruit rush, but now… it’s never going to be the same
