The amount of people who fall for it over and over is fantastic and it can genuinely get you out of some horrific situations. Still not nearly as useful as most other things but please don't overlook it, the fun you can have with it is great.

I just meant you could do what I do and that is to walk into a 711 for a refreshing St. Perrier Grapefruit sparkling water and then mosey on over to the chip aisle and take 5 or 6 pictures of codes.

You can literally just take pictures of the codes on the side of the Doritos bags, they're printed on the outside of the bag for everyone to see. You can't with the Mountain Dew though.

No unlocks, however supposedly the campaign is pretty fun.
Pretty sure the SRS banner and the gold/fire versions of it unlock based on the collectible progress, since I didn't have them, took a break to grab all the campaign helmets, and then I suddenly had them.

If you didn't get three codes from me or still need to unlock that execute let me know. I'll send you two more if I already sent you three and you still need to unlock what you want.

I hear you. The Volt has potential. It's conceivably possible to shoot a guy from the hip 60m away during a wallrun with the Volt. That's beyond my skill level, but it's perfectly accurate and hitscan in hipfire mode. Beastly gun.

BTW you can feather the Flatline's trigger to make it a poor man's G2, if you need that.

It is amazing. Sure I may have done better with Pulse Blade but I'm having way more fun with the hologram. Its oddly good on that one map where the one team starts with a height advantage, either side.

This game is perfect for empty-headed dunces that don't like to think much!! Of course, I'm a genius... I wonder why I'm so good at it?!
If I know my teams about to get into a shootout I usually throw a hologram out there in hopes of it eating fire instead of one of my dudes.

Yeah, I use Bumper Jumper. The default layout is hilariously bad. Still, would appreciate the ability to use R1/L1 as my triggers.

Thanks anyway!

Nah you can't even send a PM. You can post your email then edit it out later, up to you

You guys are later in PST though, right? I might try and get a semi-frequent EST group going for old people who have to get up early.

Generally 8-2 PST or so it seems. But haven't had any trouble getting a full team going anytime in the evening

Yeah it's drat near required in this game especially if you use the grappling hook. Did take some getting used to. Hitting abilities or boosts is sometimes a pain. Some people run melee as circle and crouch as R3 to just jump/crouch speed run everywhere

I suck at fps and somehow I do OK. Not great. Not even good. But I have fun and plenty of did you see what I just did moments.

The starting assault rifle is wicked good, the only gun I have the kill counter on. I did just unlock the devotion though, so I've been trying that out and it also seems pretty sweet.

The starting AR and SMG are pretty drat good. Seems no one really bothers with LMGs or snipers

blackguy32 posted:

Rodeo titans when you can and never jump off. The reward is worth way more than the risk. You can gently caress a titan over while pretty much unlocking your own at the same time.

I always bounce the second I get a battery. What else can you do? What happens if you get a batter from one enemy Titan then jump on another? I'm pretty bad at rodeo' Titans regardless :(



Get my PS4 pro today :woop: guess it runs at 1440? Regardless frame rates and everything will be a lot better. Everyone saying it looks great on the pro. I believe the game is already patched/optimized for the pro

If you're already carrying a battery you'll dump a grenade in the battery hole

If you're not carrying a battery you'll pull one out, regardless of how many batteries have already been pulled out :allears:

So you can take a battery out of a Titan then stay on it and drop a grenade in it as well? Do you have to hit any buttons? I just split the second the battery animation ends so I had no idea

You auto jump off the titan when you pull the battery/drop the grenade, gotta jump or grapple back on and do it again.

Goons, what would you recommend to watch as far as multiplayer tutorials? Any particularly good accounts? I never played the first game and feel like I could benefit from getting insight from better players. As is I feel pretty out of my depth whenever Titans come down, but I'm still having fun anyway.

Thanks!

Cloak lasts a really long time. Phase shift is also fun as gently caress. The shield is really good but I never utilize my chance to use it proper

The shield is pretty fun on slanted rooftops. Toss it so that it's just below the top, and the lil unit the enemy have to shoot to destroy it is literally impossible to hit. Sit up there with a LMG and fire amped shots alllll day. Unless you get flanked, in which case chew the controller.

The devotion is pretty amazing once you get used to the "spin-up". It's laser-accurate and has a super long effective range. It's the volt's big bro.

spitfire's accuracy falloff at long range killed it for me, the spinup hits of the devotion feel like they're as accurate as the spitfire hits at any range

I picked this up the other day, really enjoyed the single player, and have fun with the multiplayer, although the matchmaker seems to be pretty inconsistent with balancing teams out. I've been trying out a lot of the weapons just to get the easy merits on the first few level ups on them, and so I ask: Is the accelerator just completely worthless? It seems like any range it is effective at the other smgs do just as well, and due to its rather short falloff there seems to be no niche it works in. Am I missing something while using it?

Why is everyone talking about mountain dew?

Counterintuitive to the way the game needs to be played. How are you supposed to maintain momentum or bunny-hop with any accuracy if your right thumb is constantly having to leave the aim stick in order to twiddle between slide and jump?

I'm not sure if standard shooter controls apply to a game that's way more about traversal.
