Do you have any medium or heavy legendary cabins? Any of the legendary modules? Unless you have relics, I don’t think it’s really possible to get up to 16kPS without running legendary tier weapons/cabin/modules. I saw a whirl build, but they had Jackie and Aquilo in there, and probably a legendary engine too.
I used the Mars cabin and added more Titan wheels with an Appollo generator. I have no relics. I tried running two Cyclones and a Whirl on a Jackie.
I’m using Mars too, but with just two Starfalls.
Apollo, Pegasus, legendary rad, epic cooler, Doppler, Keen, and four meat grinders.
I couldn’t get any wheeled builds high enough, because they don’t cost enough PS.
If you don’t have augers, legs could get you up there.
Tbh if you’re scraping in the parts bin to get to 16k don’t bother, you’re going against relics, it won’t go well.
I am definitely inflating my PS just to qualify, but what I’m seeing in matches is that about half the other players are in the same boat.
I’m not dominating at all, but I’m also doing well enough that I should qualify for uranium if I can find time this week to play another couple hours.
I think a lot of people talk themselves into thinking it’s not even worth trying if they’re at a disadvantage.
I am totally ok with being an underdog.
Atm i’m running 8 bigrams, 2 meatgrinders to deal with melee (and to use as melee :D), triple fused whirls on cohort cabin with an option of Doppler or Verifier and 6600hp, it’s an old CW build I used a few times. It works quite well and people who think a 16.5k build is garbage and come at me get a shock. Just tanked a triple pork, dual devourer and a dual mammoth, killed all 4 with only 1 teamate getting 1 assist and the other 2 did nothing.
The annoying thing… only 914 CC points
I used to play a lot of cohort/whirl builds, and I like the idea of using meatgrinders on a spider as a melee deterrent.
I was going to make something like that for this, but the Starfall build is working well enough, and it’s handy to be able to do some real damage at long range.
My usual CC build is a whaler/whirl build. Whirls work really well with whaler, if you haven’t already tried the combo.
Tbh as long as you can pump decent damage and take some hits best of luck. I just got fed up today of seeing dual fatmen on a hundred tracks literally doing nothing once they get de-gunned because they are trash at building and didn’t protect their guns. Always the last one left because after that they just get ignored.
I’m trying to build an assembler hover to deal with the scorps, did it in the last UW when it was around 12k and was killer at de-gunning all the bricks with guns on the roof but not confident it’ll work as well for this one.
Haven’t got the whaler cabin but will keep it in mind for the future.
Heavy spider build with starfalls should work really well, similar to the old reaper spiders but with more kick. Maybe Nova cabin would be a good choice for that if you can get the Mass/Tonnage right.
Well, I removed some armor and added 4 Atom wheels to my Titan build. I finally got it into 16k but it is super slow. I played a game and we won but it was just volleying shots back and forth. Wasn’t really exciting enough to play a second game. Maybe I’ll work on making it lighter and try again. I don’t know if I’ll have enough time to make it to uranium rewards though.
Yeah, playing BfU this week has reaffirmed for me why I prefer playing at 9kPS.
High PS isn’t harder or more exciting, it’s just slower and more expensive.
I think I can get some Uranium if I win three or four more matches, so I’m going to try to get there.
I’m in Bronze league working towards silver, coming across some proper noobs… 4 unyielding so far
Does my fuckin head in, top score in a match and -ve points because the rest of the team suck. They really need to sort out the points distribution, like how can someone who scored 100 get a +ve score just because they are on the winning side and yet I get over 1000 and get -5?
In clan wars that’s fine but this is BFU ffs, individual results matter!
its monday,they fixed it back to normal,im not getting anymore points. was fun while it lasted
My clan made it to gold in 12 hours yesterday lol.
