Yeah, the backup is why cloak is so handy. You can flank them, and roast the hardsuit + backup without issue. And people jumping out of hardsuits early just means they get cooked outside of the suit. It's good in theory, I've rarely seen it work in practice.Originally Posted by Devec

Still enjoying this. Have built the perfect burst fire for me taste, and have raping nabbins with it. Feels good
Perfect dickmove gun: Bolt action rifle with all the damage addons (gets you to ~200 damage), and then incendiary ammo.
It's the whole making the target think they survived the shot, and then making them watch their impending doom.
Very funny, Scotty, now beam down my pants.
Hah, indeed. I've been rocking BAR + shotgun lately, 200 damage with no special ammo. I'm falling in love with the shotgun, it's fantastic at CQB and perfectly compensates for the one area that the BAR isn't amazing in.
Some general dick moves that seem to work a lot of the time also include slapping an HRV blocker on the node in DOM mode, then placing a prox mine on top of it. The UI overlay hides the mine completely, and there's no UI icon in HRV to give it away. I routinely harvest a couple of kills a match that way. HRV Blocker + Turret also works nicely for messing with people, especially if you put an HRV decoy on the other side of the door so they face the wrong way as they come through.
Randomly slapping prox/stun mines on the roof is another fun one, people rarely look up.

has anyone sunk gp in the datanodes yet. Dont know if I should get the self healer or nodes first.
Private servers only gives 10% xp and gp for anyone else wondering why the fuck they just got 16gp from a match
Yes +gp and +damage are nice but only last for so long.
Okay, airstrike designator is the best thing since sliced bread.
Particularly on HeloDeck DOM mode. If you use the relatively well-protected depot under the big spider tank, you can refill ammo for it easily, and it lets you bombard both A and B points, murdering anyone who tries to cap them, in addition you can get the occasional peek into the VTOL hangar and drop an airstrike on anyone trying to use the depot there.
It's absolute murder on anywhere with an open view of the sky, most DOM maps have at least one or two cap points without a roof, and many of them have chokepoints you can lock down. Another really nice use for it is killing people trying to open doors. If you mark your side of the door, the strike will come down vertically and usually kill the guy on the outside at the hacking console.
It's also a handy way to get rid of those pesky snipers.

Can't you get the perma datanodes or did they remove those?Yes +gp and +damage are nice but only last for so long.
Also, what's the % chance to get Epic level nodes?

So what's this new 'beacon' respawn option that came in the last patch?

Cant you get epic level in the normal 200 chance pack :-( ? That would be the first clear cut p2w in this game...Think they cost $$$ and I don't knowCan't you get the perma datanodes or did they remove those?Yes +gp and +damage are nice but only last for so long.

About permas. You can make them last for month by fusing them, but it will be costly since its chance based
Is there any good way to party with a friend. For now we just join the same server, but we keep getting on different teams. Playing with a buddy is hilarious though. We are both gonna get the heal injector since healing a teammate = 100 health, not 50. Most hilarious thing about it is we are both bads, so we still get raped

You can buy nodes and fuse them all the way up to legendary with GP. It's very expensive in GP but doable, so not really P2W.Cant you get epic level in the normal 200 chance pack :-( ?

Honestly I'd recommend rez over heal injector. Rez is a lot more tactically flexible and tends to generate more points. It's also fucking terrifying if someone chain rezzes a squad while hiding in cover, as cutting through the constantly-reviving meatwall to get at the rezzer burns all your ammo and then you die to the rezzed dudes.
Partying, you just have to use the switch teams button to make sure you're on the same team. That or deliberately join opposite sides to hunt your friend down and knife him repeatedly. (Not that I've ever done that or anything...)

Anyway will stab my friend next time. Just need to get a cloak first. He hates those with apassion
I would never lease one normally, but with it being a part of a reward pack I'm finding it has its merits, mainly on domination-type game modes (although a rez kit still seems preferable).
All expressed opinions match those of my employers, hail satan
Cloak packs tend to be amazing on domination and CTF maps, where you have stable lanes that people will be advancing down. Particularly in CTF they can be wicked when mixed with an HRV blocker and a decoy. Plant decoy to simulate a dude in cover on the left side of a chokepoint, then HRV blocker on the right side and cloak up in the bubble, wait for schmucks to come by and turn the wrong way, then gun them down.
TDM modes, cloaks are less useful, though they still have some tactical uses. I tend to roll them on TDM only if I think the enemy will go hardsuits, as flamer + cloak is possibly the easiest hardsuit neutralization method.

I've been playing this and despite being terrible at twitchy shooters like this and getting slaughtered left, right and center, I'm still enjoying it. The weapon system is weird though, when I just started the account I got some free 5-day weapons but for the hell of me I had no clue how to actually equip them, did not find a way to select anything other then the basic 2 guns.
- don't confuse the fact that I like to be right with the rumors that I actually might be -
EVE: retired
WoT (EU, DaDutchDude):

Are you sure they are actually activated. Some stuff come in you mail, and other bonus packs are in your inventory, but not activated.
Just got the cloak and shotgun for my 20th level day gift. Hilarity ensued.
yesterday installed this around 1am and went to sleep little after 3AM
JESUS WALLHACK CHRIST, FUCK ME THIS IS FUN
Although, it's a tad slow, it'll take some time to adjust, last time i played fps (and was good at it) was COD4 played exclusively on hardcore, and that was a mother of all twitchers.
So, can someone help me build a loadout that's ac close to that?
I bought a battle rifle with damage and running speed upgrade, and added a reflex sight
Handles ok, but i still want moar damage...
should i have taken the bolt action?
in any case, this is FUN FUN FUN, hopefully you ppl hang on fhs ts while you play

Detecting epic potential, expecting epic fail.Ah yes, the fork: The poor man's trident
What exactly are you looking for in terms of engagement ranges and times? The BAR requires some high-level unlocks to reach the mystic 200 damage cap, at which point it becomes the finger of god, but if you're a good quickscoper it will absolutely ruin people's day. Combat Rifle is a good quickscope weapon if you can double-tap headshots or triple-tap bodyshots very reliably and quickly, otherwise treat it like a mid-range DMR. AR is the jack of all trades. Burst rifle is basically a combat rifle with better spray-and-pray in close. HAR is just an AR with more boom to it. LMG is the absolute spray-and-pray king.
If you want faster movement you'll be trading down to lighter armor, which means less HP, but significantly better move speeds.
My usual loadouts are Loadout1: AR + shotgun, heavy armor, prox mine, HE nade, frag nade, toxic nade; Loadout2: BAR + shotgun, lightweight armor, prox, HE, frag, HRV blocker. I run heal packs on both, but would consider barricade or cloak situationally.
More info on your play style would let me provide more help in tuning your kit.

This game is actually quite amazing esp. since it's free to play
Rocking LMG with dmg mods and low recoil stock (fuck movementspeed lol)
Mines are cool, turrets are cool
The only thing I dont get is explosive ammo. What's the point? Afaik it reduces your dmg, reloadspeed and movement and only jitters the targets vision... not really worth it imho if you can kill them in 3-4 shots anyway... maybe I'm wrong
