You can't right now. You'll be able to once the store opens and you buy enough Evo Coins or when you complete enough challenges to get enough Capital to buy them at the store.

Quarry I think is my least favorite map so far. It feels like one of those maps where you can get very easily locked in spawn.Kwolok posted:I'm dumb as gently caress and cannot for the life of me understand how to unlock the locked mechs... Nobody can yet. There aren't enough triangle points and you can't cash buy them until tomorrow night.

There's this one space demolition map where the Waypoint is sort of off to the side and optional. Entire teams will ignore it and just go for the objective. I had one game where my entire team went to go defend the waypoint, but the entire attacking team just went straight to the objective and armed it. Conversely, one time I was defending the waypoint alone and almost the entire enemy team ignored it. The rest of my team was defending the objective, and I kept 1v1ing a dude to keep him off the waypoint lol.

Welp the streamers have found the game, neither me nor my friends have had fun with it all day. Every random match is full of sweaty pre-mades spamming their twitches and just generally being cocks in general chat. Now it's just as poo poo as overwatch, but in a different flavour of anime and it took one whole day.

Can't say I've encountered that. Look like the build is still kind of unstable, though. Now I'm the leaver in one of my games due to the game crashing.

If you play in a group you will be matched against groups fwiw. That can be why it sometimes feel extra lovely to play with your friends

That's not really unexpected though since I'm not an experienced shooter player.

Teamed up with two friends and got brutally stomped for an hour straight and then we had a leaver in our team and managed a full take and defend the rotating points win anyway. Weird night.

Like I said, the Zaku II's a lil stinker. That invuln only lasts a second but sometimes that's all they need to get away or no-sell a barbatos.

Mountain R&D Lab is new right? It has like two variations. One where it cycles through A, B and C. And one where it's just A and B with no C and that variant can eat my rear end. There's still two whole maps I haven't seen yet and the preview images look really cool and they seem to be my kind of jam.Runa posted:Like I said, the Zaku II's a lil stinker. From what I understand doing anything except running away will break your invulnerability. So while it is short lived, using your other skills will make it even shorter? Or maybe I'm just bad at zaku. I just know sometimes people still die extra fast after using that smoke grenade because they keep trying to fight.

As far as I'm aware the smoke grenade just disables all non-movement actions. It's like instant use bonk atomic soda (except you still can't reload). I use it either as I'm dashing away (can not break line of sight immediately) or shortly after expending all my dashes so I can regen the dash meter. Also of course baiting out barbatos stuns, the barbatos is suddenly a lot less threatening once it doesn't have that, I think it's significantly slower than it used to be? Iirc in the dev diary they said they reduced its dash distance or something, I can definitely feel it when playing barbatos. What I have not found a use for is the loving zaku grenade. Best thing seems to be throwing it at someone immediately before shooting them in the back so the little bit of damage maybe helps you 100->0 them but it doesn't contribute much. ninjewtsu fucked around with this message at 13:40 on Sep 23, 2022 |

I haven't played Zaku since release, since someone else always slampicks it immediately, but I'm pretty sure that in the beta you couldn't use your weapons or other skills at all when the smoke is active. The issue is that smoke grenade only lasts literally a single second at most, too short to be of any real use in combat. It can buy you an opportunity to get through a doorway or around a corner when you're seriously outmatched, but that's about it. It's 100% an escape tool and nothing else.

It's really funny how Methuss's healing tether doesn't matter at all, until it does Similarly the long range pickup is completely useless, until the other team decides they don't care about finishing anyone off, then you're invaluable

Zaku and sazabi especially it really hurts to get the extra reload forced. I wanna unlock the mahiroo it looks fun

Zaku 2 is basically Tracer from OW in that you roll in to point blank range, mag dump into someone's head, and then either continue the assault or hammer E and disengage to grab a health kit somewhere.

after having my shield dropped when getting stunned while playing sazabi i tried testing that out, but if it makes them drop their shield either i'm completely missing what i think are hits or they can just put their shield back up after the .1 second stun ends. i don't believe it depletes a shield to 0 hp or anything maybe against rx-78's shield? i feel like i've tried that but may need to be on the watch for it

How do you all think the meta's gonna shape up? Hard to say without everyone having access to all of the suits currently but I'm wondering just how annoying a full shield/heal team can be.

Much less annoying than OW because there are abilities that force shields to immediately go on cooldown (or ignore shields altogether), shields have relatively little health, and every map has multiple paths around chokepoints that every suit can access.

So if barbatos, for example, is doing his big leap attack; catching him with it will just leave a confused barbatos wondering why you aren't stunned right now. Usually that's enough time to dash in and gut 'em before they do it again. I think it can also interrupt ultimates? I really should use zaku more to get a hang of it, but his low HP is a real bummer.

As of right now I think that the Dom is a must pick on almost every map, it's a great suit and its ability to give the barbatos that little bit more health means that barb can get its pick and survive the process. The guntank I have no idea, it really depends on how tightly groups are expected to fight in team fights. If there's tight grouping then the GT can do absolutely loving absurd amounts of damage with its primary and it can mitigate just as much damage with its front charge if you're in the middle of a fight and you're trying to cycle your Sazabi. If things are going to be light skirmishes where it's one or two suits next to each other then it's not going to be too useful because its single target damage is pretty terrible.
