So it looks like people have to target the balloons if they were targeting you before it deployed. That or Pixies love to kill santa over huge groups of people.

The GP02 seems like it could actually be useable once in a while now, while the Cima basically just :gizz:

all the rounds of an FA out and fires the SA mode as fast if not faster than the 02, suit got even crazier.

its not. Alexes surviving full charge confirmed.

Shields seem to block it as well.

How about a bet? If all of the above is true then loser has to 2 man platoon for 1 hour with Abathor. Just two people. For one hour. In the same mumble/teamspeak.
Why do we do this to ourselves

I dunno, same stats on this rifle as the unit 4. Suit stats are literally equal to the gundam unit 4 as well. I want at least two of these...

Also, god drat flight Gouf comes with a lot of boost even uncustomized. 1800, this thing can stay in the air for a LONG time. Max customized, running a lightweight loadout as well as battle boosts, I'm sure the effective boost cap of this suit easily breaks ~2200. Gold gets a charge gatling that dumps ALL 20 bullets... has terrible range compared to the other charged gatlings though. Full charge can be controlled full auto on the other gatlings. Traits are weak shooter, quick reload, and high mobility customize. Weak shooter is easily a huge winner here. Speed is pretty modest though, so HMT trait has a bit of appeal.

I think charged beams/beam cannons will end this suit quickly if you're not careful. It's tempting to jump up high with all that boost, plus the free module that increases jump height but if you get anti-aired you are almost certainly dead.

Other than Acguy being in the DX, this is a good DX volume for Zeon.

It begins :japan:

Looks like the double heat hawks on the Action Zaku (Mallet type) cost 3 of those special modules to unlock the initial type, the others after that you just pay cash for normally.

Which ones are the best to use? DII?

The answer to that question will always be test all the types out in maneuvers until you find the one you like.

Oh poo poo 2 act zaku snipers for you already.

Also gently caress you guys so much I still haven't gotten my golden gelgoog M out of the box with like 35 things left in it :negative:

Now I have to choose between Cima's deathray unit and the gouf flight. Both of which arep retty cool. But I think the deathray probably wins out. but ughhh weakpoint shooter on a gouf FINALLY. I regret so many past purchases in the Dom paizun / proto kampfer so much.

I find that the Charge Beam N on the Gelgoog Cannon works pretty good for knockdowns while letting me treating it as a slightly slower to spam Beam Rifle F in a pinch with its 5 round clip. If I need a dedicated knockdown thats what the cannon is for.

I'll translate the whole drat thing and add it to the OP so people know how to track the stats of their suits:

code:

Total Sorties		Total base HP damage dealt
Kills				Assists

Most red points(Destruction) earned in a single life	Total red points earned for this unit
Most green points(Support) earned in a single life	Total green points earned for this unit
Most yellow points(Objectives) earned in a single life	Total yellow points earned for this unit
							Total Score earned for this unit

E: Stole that gigan image for the OP to act as an example. Also for people that don't know how to access your personal mobile suit statistics, open your profile, last tab, click desired suit. You can peek at other people's stats this way too.

save up 30 exchange tickets and use it to buy the Greydon Cannon Zaku if you want a good shelling unit, you get missiles that do 2 shots for 350 base, the standard 850 dmg f bazooka, and decent howitzer/shelling options.

I'd say Gigan is viable in gold matches too. It's basically an assault tank with a bombardment option thinking about it.

Been busy myself lately, game has been a roller coaster as usual. The new suits(Cima Gelgoog, Flight Gouf, Blue Destiny 2 in particular) really help out Zeon's bad matchups (We can win fights in the mid-long range again, instead of committing hard to close quarters fighting all the time. For a long time, our best options were sturms, bazookas, shotguns, and melee) and the recent update added a bunch of fun weapons. Despite its faults, I think the game is still a lot of fun and has been getting better.

Third World Reggin posted:

new map? new map

Yeah, they're making aquatic suits more important. Basically blew up the dams on that map and raised the water level in most places.

Also, Act Zaku sniper is pretty good.

34 kills.

Quirks about the charged sniper:
-It's possible to fire without taking any damage
-Takes about 2 seconds to reach full charge, deals about 2800+ damage, pierces through mobile suits, my record is 4 literal gundams in one shot.
-You have about 1 second leeway to hold the charge before you start to take overcharge damage, about ~200 damage per second after that
-Tap Q or swap weapons to cancel charge to avoid overcharge damage
- Pierces the Alex shield if blocked, instantly destroys the shield and knocks down the alex if full hp to about 10% hp left, you have ample time to swap to your other beam machine gun to finish him. If you fired at the head behind the shield, the Alex dies instantly.
-Ammo module recommended, very low number of bullets. Upgrade homing a bit on this suit, sometimes field resupply is not readily available, you'll have to use the base.
-Projectile has larger hitbox than beam cannon(I'd say the hitbox is about the size of a rocket), speed is slightly slower than an actual beam cannon. Within about 600m, I'd say it can't be dodged on reaction by your target if you make the right read
-Having used it, I'm convinced this is THE best gun in the game.

Also, Map reworks announced
Arctic Base

South East Asia, Vietnam

As well as

Odessa mines
08th MS mining town
Belfast
Doan Island
0080 Side 6 Ribot Colony

Another large update is planned UC0080/83 style, guessing we're seeing advance of zeta suits. Not looking forward to ugly zeon stutzer mobile suit variations honestly.

Weekly clan challenges can pay master tickets and DX tickets to all clan members once completed. The clan got 90 S ranks placing top 10 in a match(4 master tickets) and 90 S ranks for score (Another 4 master tickets).

I try to keep the clan board updated with the current week's challenges, especially if they pay well.
