balls of steel <| sep |> What is the difference ? I see one is red and one is black , one has a small dot in the middle of the crosshairs , but what is the significance ? Sorry for the dumb question but I use iron sights . <| sep |> gramma ' s a lean queen <| sep |> you can check me out nowogles her up and downlookin ' fine ! <| sep |> But rubber finely engineered to suck in just the right way haha . Anyways , the series are tiny , so you don ' t get any economy of scale on it either . Development cost and tooling will push the price up a lot . <| sep |> Personally i feel like if you play him for his recon more than sentry and use sentry for a burst every so often for 5 seconds then why not play soldier ? Here is what soldier does better than bastions recon 1 . Soldier has the smaller hit box 2 . Soldier can sprint faster 3 . Soldier can heal while fighting and heal teammates . 4 . Soldier ' s bullets now hit as hard as bastions 20 dmg each 5 . Soldier fires more bullets per second 6 . Soldier has more bullets in the clip iirc it is 35 or 45 , i dont remember , to bastions 20 doubling bastions recon 7 . Soldier has better accuracy as his spread takes longer to build up than bastion ' s recon . bastions recon builds up quick and is slower at shrinking iirc 8 . Soldier also has better damage falloff . 30 to 55 meters according to the wiki where bastion is 25 to 50 The only thing bastions recon form has on soldier now is the higher hp and armor . But due to his size people arnt going to miss . So while i agree moving the sentry mode around a lot is great and what you should do , but If you are only using it for occasional burst then soldier will do it better as soldiers raw dps plus his bursty helix rifle can do the same . I love bastion . But the way the changes and new heroes have gone i just feel like i am shooting myself in the foot with him and he has lost the fun factor for me . I feel like most heroes have a leg up on him in some way .
