Playstyle thread

I did, it's much better

 

I run pretty much the same build, but i skip the magburner, IR smoke is so much more useful IMO. It removes current locks / prevents locks for 6 seconds. Maxed out you can use it every 15, which is awesome.

 

This is now a general playstyle thread, soldier classes AND vehicles.

 

Heavy Assault

• Utility - Medkit
• Ability - Resist shield
• Suit - Nanoweave armor
• Grenade slot - Might get anti-vehicle grenade
• Primary weapon - Orion with HS/NV Scope and forward grip
• Secondary weapon - Hades/Nemesis

High survival + good offense, the HS/NV scope is almost considered hax in close quarters, it's so easy to spot enemies and go for headshots.

 

I loved HS/NV scope, however they need to stop tweaking it! I hate logging on after every patch and it's function is different.. I know they want to adjust it so that it DOES IT JOB, AT NIGHT, but isn't some OP "I can see aaaaall the things" scope that rocks everyone's world.

At least they seem to realise that lines on the scope cause eye bleeding and/or people starting court cases for medical reasons.

Also, how is the resist shield? A lot of people think it sucks. At least, they say this because (as freaking usual... pffft..) they used it in beta before it was nerfed, and hated it because they nerfed it.. Not a fair opinion of an item, hating on it just because you were spoiled by it being stronger before.

 

Resist shield seems to do the job, don't have enough certs in it yet to see any real difference.

 

That's another problem I have, a lot of idio-... people... seem to also judge their gear based on the FIRST LEVEL of that item.. which in many cases (mostly infantry mods) doesn't make that much of a difference.

What I really want to see is what a maxed out Adrenaline shield does. If it's enough energy per kill my shield capacitors will be rolling in extra energy.

 

I'm pretty much putting all my certs into my Light Assault at the moment, but i fear I'm throwing many down the drain just figuring out what I'm doing.

 

From what I could tell in the beta during and after the nerf, adding points in resist shields merely increased the duration of the shield, not the strength. Adrenaline shield might be better, especially if you drop person after person.

 

For my magrider I went w/ Top Armor as I got tired of reavers spamming me in 1 run and killing me. Now I survive and I have a chance to hop out, do a quick repair as they come around for another pass or if I have my anti-air on me, I can get a lock on them and they may bug out. Side and front armor I am not worried about anymore as that never killed me as often as I insta-died from air attack.
