I would never play PVP on a regular basis but it's fun to just pop in for a short round here and there.

Yeah, the reason I like Mixtape is because the game has a few modes I enjoy but wouldn't want to play for long periods like Bounty Hunter.

I ran around with the CAR and grappling hook and had fun. I switched to the R201 with pulse knife and had fun. Alternator with Pilot Stim? Also fun.

Okay, now use the Spitfire and Holo. Go on.

Tone is only fun if you're playing with pubbies and they bitch about getting rekt by tone

Switching back to scorch is brutal cause dude moves like an inch a minute, but it gets fun on the tighter maps.

The thunderbolt is really good I think. I just love playing peek-a-boo and constantly launching it into a mob of Titans and watching my meter grow

I think all the anti-Titan weapons are p. good TBH.

Yeah, it's good for building meter

Also my preferred method is to find a Titan fighting another Titan and just lob mgl rounds from a window. You gain meter so quickly by damaging titans as a pilot.

I started using it just to get the easy levels but found myself having a pretty good time with it. I also get a childish glee in disentigrating grunts as they try to scatter from a drop pod.

Double Take and DMR should be really easy; just bring an A Wall and pop people. One shot kill and only five kills per level means you'll be done in a single night. Kraber though... uh, get good I guess?

I just don't see the appeal of PvP because it doesn't have giant robots. :shrug:

Conversely Last Titan Standing is not that fun despite being almost entirely giant robots because it is determined by which side brings more Tones.

I really want to like Ion but I just can't seem to quite get her to work effectively. Does anyone have any tips?

Conversely I normally hate playing sniper in games but Northstar has been really fun, especially if you're behind a Tone who is good with their shield.

Keep some distance, snipe, be mindful of your energy use when using the rifle. Be quick to use the shield especially against a tone

Laser blasting pilots is really fun (and not as hard as you'd imagine) :getin:

the dmr is hilarious at the start of a crash site attrition match, especially if youre downhill i've found. just sit there plinking away at the 3 or 4 people who try and run down the slope towards your spawn

That's also me, unless I am foolishly trying to use the G2. Why does it have to take 3 body shots with that gun to kill? And that's on top of being a very poor hip fire weapon.

I am also apparently the most obvious person in the world when stealthed, since I get SMG sniped while invisible from across the map.

Ion is my bestie.

The shoulder laser is Ion's best friend - it does huge damage if it strikes the cockpit of a Titan, vaporizes any Pilots, and it's accurate enough to snipe across half the map. Your basic gun is pretty much just there to fill the time between laser shots.

Only use the Split Laser on groups of trash mobs or a particularly squirrelly Pilot. It's suicide to use it against Titans or in protracted firefights.

Lay down the mines whenever possible as well, and I'd recommend getting the mod that prevents them from using up energy. It's good to have some territory control even if the other Titans are trying to get away from you.

Electric smoke. If it doesn't kill them it will make them scramble and unable to aim well.

"I... I did well, didn't I?"
I've literally never been able to get a kill with an LMG, but the L-STAR is one that screws me over more than any other, because I'm hard coded to fire in like short 3-round bursts, which means with the L-STAR whenever I need to finish off a kill, I'm completely unable to fire my weapon.

youre okay, im not actually great at hitting moving targets. its the people who try and peek out of cover to shoot at me with an smg from behind the big rock pillar that are the easy pickings

been looping through weapons levelling them up for credits and I just changed out of r201 for the spitfire again (a direct change i had previously made on like day 1). after coming from other weapons like the hemlok and devotion aim assist seems straight up bugged?

The Spitfire is definitely somehow more accurate then the r201 :confused:

This is on the ps4

You should get like 10% Titan meter every time someone shoots your holo pilot

Tone's radar spike works

Or the pilot ability radar spike

Like the other guy said, electric smoke grenades help

If you have a rough idea of where the other guy might be, Arc grenades are a favorite of mine

bombing the area with a titan can work depending on what you use

I offer as a counterpoint the facility map, and its tendency to drop your titan on the other side of the map.

True

I only really encounter snipers at homestead

But if you're at the top of the crash site you know everyone from the bottom will be coming through the tunnels. If you're at the bottom, the tunnels seem the only reasonable way to go, cause you barely have any cover going up the middle.

The laser tripmines are trivially easy to avoid and either take up valuable energy or take up an even more valuable perk slot which you should be spending on Grand Cannon instead (or Entangled Energy, in a pinch).

The rest of the post is good advice, though - just peek with the laser shot 24/7 and never expose yourself to return fire and you'll be gold.
