In Black Ops 4, he frequently posted league-leading K/D rates—but those people numbers have deteriorated considerably in Fashionable Warfare though OGLA has dropped to eighth in the standings at 7-12.

At their newest celebration, the Paris Property Sequence, no player hit a constructive K/D but Dashy posted the team’s cheapest in general by considerably with .68 (Hardpoint: .57, SND: .58, Domination: .93).
