It’s been a shitty week for me regarding crossout.
( maybe i’m in a down you go cycle, maybe MM is pulling my leg, i don’t care and that’s not the important but it helps )
the thing is i like to play in a aggressive manor but lately i’m in a bad streak of…luck, today is being ok
Here i am
So far, so good, all is going fine and dandy according to the plan, it’s good against melee, cannons and get me a lot of helis.
Hawks are like AK-47s, a very cheap options that doesn’t care about flocks, sometimes i feel like a AA picket providing clear skies for the team but they still have the same fragilities and that’s making me feel something still lacking, something like blast damage
I know, i will be defenceless against helis but i’m missing pining someone down , dragging someone away while i tear that someone down in the process.
I tried snowfalls and other weapons and i didn’t like the firing mechanism or other aspect.
Now i’m looking to my Fafnirs ( never used them ) and maces…
I already have the weight , the resilience but i don’t know with what i’m pairing them with.
Any ideas?
you mean what to pair drones with…?
hard to say…i mostly mix drones…last build had 1 gren, 1 fat, and 2 owls…bound them in 1 owl + 1 ground drone on my keys…
with the new thingy that allows you to lock a target it works-ish…
as for other weapons…maybe 2x faf and 2x owl (or hawks and mods)…dunno
okay. there are dozens of braindead sheepie meta builds that don’t require much input from you, yet still are a threat to your enemies. tracked avalanche, corax, tracked nests+trombone, jupiters, reapers on a brick build, cyclones etc.
i’m not really sure why one would just ignore all that and pick drones at all besides not having much knowledge on the game or trying to actively sabotage their team, aka “i’m playing for fun, this is just digital pixels, it’s just a game bro!!! touch grass!!!”
let’s assume that you want to use drones and only drones. like… okay, at least pick ones that are dangerous to the enemy team???
like vultures. they cost 2k but oh boy they do deal damage. just spam them and annoy the shi out of your enemy.
or fatums, which can output about 800 dps and they also heat up parts for your teammates… or hell, just even make an angler build with punji + skinner and fry people up in mere seconds.
“b-but nooo i want to be a burden to my team!!! i’ll either use turrets that deal barely 1k damage per battle AND actively make my teammates get stuck on them, or fuzes that can’t catch up with anyone, or sidekicks/grenadiers which also barely deal 1k damage per battle!!!”
droners minds are an enigma man. they need to be studied. probably close related to sheep than apes
…we’ll agree to disagree…
pairing a copter and a ground drone actually makes them survive a bit longer…
…and the gren/fat part was because i only have 1 of each…
…aand… just for the sake of the argument…i wasn’t a burden in (just)most cases…
…so, imo…try going for a copter/ground pairing…don’t put all drones on 1 button, since they added drone targeting…
so having 2 drones/button, makes it easier to focus fire on 2 different targets…
Either you’re oblivious to that aka “the Pudge never loses, it’s his team who loses”, or the game puts you into a sheepie sandbox with an even worse players to compensate. As someone whos group did take top-20 on BfUs, participated in 10+k CW battles and played thousands of CC matches, i can confidently say that if you were my teammate, i’d rather leave and requeue because no, thanks, these drones wouldn’t do much.
Here’s your profile. You have only 2 matches in CC but they speak a thousand words to me.
Okay, How about this. You can easilly proof that you aren’t a burden by uploading your combat logs to this site, so we can see how useful you are to your team.
Maybe i’ll see something like this and i’ll admit i’m in the wrong. Your call
These things fly off instnatly you face the enemy. 900 damage per click is nice tho, but VERY hard to maintain. (never tried torpedoes tho, might give them a shot, but still - don’t do that at home, kids!)
Forget about it, that’s a useless crutch
The same as with fafnirs, don’t bother. You’d need omamori AND fin whale to use them somewhat (10k gold anymore?) and even then the results are mid.
Baaad, no damage and hard to use, the quirk of tatis are that they can penetrate deep into the enemy craft and blow up whatever they have inside, tempuras can’t do that
Only on HELI builds, catalina/dolores + 3 sparks (i assume you meant the legendary version and not the relic one) + omamori and this thing is so annoying to fight. But that’s a pretty bad investement
A word of advice: don’t bother much with arcade gamemodes (aka ones that allow helis and walkers in). CC and BfU should be your focus of attention.
Get a sheepie build. Like literally, some of these are no-brainers and can compete with the meta. Right now the list is:
2 tractor tracks, photon, 2 nests (ONLY IF fuzed for turning speed), trombone. Insanely annoying to fights.
Avalanche. 2 goliaths+avalanche+avereter+omnibox, or same but swap the omnibox for echo, or 2 tractor tracks + any cab THAT CAN BE MOSTLY CONCEALED by avalanche.
Reaper wheeled brick. Either machinist or humpack as your cab.
Jupiters. Literally jupiters on anything like dear god this thing just SO annoying i can’t-
Corax (about to be slightly nerfed but still can output good results)
2 dooms, aegis, cheetah, 6 bigfoots - very annoying to fight and has invul with about 20% uptime or so (i forgor the exact number )
I’ve used most of them personally, it’s the best choices you have right now. Don’t overwork yourself with more complex weapons for now, you’ll need to learn things like teamplay, positioning, synergies and so on first.
You’ll get it eventually, and these are a really good point to start
