It’s piss easy for hovers, much less fun for everybody else. Like the rest of the game I guess

I’m pretty confident I’d solo it np with a hover Retcher lol. I saw people go 1v11 for like 2 mins and win. All hovers tho.

I’m not playing it much, but retchers or plasmas on a fast build with a chameleon is the way to go. Hovers are obviously OP in the raid, too, but I’ve survived twice now on traction fused arrays. I’ve only won er… survived 3 times I think.
Unlike the copters, it’s just not all that fun either way.
As time goes on, folks will find more & more ways to win/survive. My post was just what’s working as of when I posted it.
Your mileage may vary - especially if you like crying.
Put one on after I saw your build… oh yeah baby, its what the soup was missing .
Been finishing games pretty regular.

New stratergy?
Anyone want to try this?
If you refuse to cross the bridge, at the other end, there’s a ramp you jump that prevents you from driving the map in reverse.
If all the ravagers are on the other side, they can’t get to you, so you survive.
The only way for them to get you is to suicide & hope to spawn on your side of the bridge.
EDIT
I played a couple of rounds this morning & looks like I’m not the only one with the strategy I mentioned at the beginning… lots of naked builds & 100kps cabs.
Eh. I find it better to help people with the event. When I’m Ravager I don’t try too hard, in order to help people complete “kill X, damage Y”, at least for some time. When I’m Survivor and when there’s too much good builds I barely shoot. Feels like not making the event hard enough for both sides is a good strategy

I am stuck at 6 wins. Got to the last gate several times as last survivor but couldn’t out shoot n scoot well enough becuase… well im not very good.
I am beginning to think it was just luck the times I completed it.
But at least I’m making good scrap now.
I won with a double Flash Doppler Cheetah Chill Seal Chameleon on hover load out. The best strategy on a hover for the final 1 min time gate is not to make a stand at the gate but backtrack to the frozen lake where Ravager’s trash wheels fail.
I think the following weapons are best:
S tier:
Kapkan
Flash (2 Flash is much better than 3 Sparks. They have a similar damage output, 1428 v 1650, the same power score, but 2 Flash gives you much more breathing room in energy consumption for modules. You get 4 modules and a 5th hover v. 3 modules and a Gas Generator with Spark.)
Spark
Jubokko
Yaoguai
Not Vulture (edited). Vultures are bad. See below.
King
Retcher
A tier:
Machine guns auto cannons Helios and Destructors. 4 Imps are the best gun. Fidgets and Blockchain are notably good.
Modules:
S tier
Doppler
Chameleon
Cheetah
Colossus
Seal
Shiver
Hot Red
Movement parts:
S tier:
Icarus 7
A tier:
wheels on minelayers only
Small tracks and Omnis
Icarus 4

A big issue on Xbox, at least on my first session last night, is people hang around the start point rather than lowering the first gate. This is bad and no deep run occurs with this strategy.
Teamwork is key in this game mode for lowering the first gate and destroying the 3 towers. Besides that, you can pretty much solo. A variety of meta weapons is best. Spark Flash are best for close range fights. You cannot close ground on a Flash or Spark, they pop off Ravagers wheels automatically and a hover Spark build only loses by being blindsided or backing into an obstacle and becoming disorientated or being stuck at tower destruction. I wish people would stop shooting at Ravagers missing half their wheels. Killing them gives them a fresh start at a better spawn.
Minelayers and catapults are best for choke points and machine guns for dps being protected by meta builds.
Kapkan is the best weapon in the game mode. An Argus rarely stops 2 Kapkans and 2 Kapkans for 4 points of energy can oppose a full Ravager team. Kapkan Jubokko is particularly nasty and may be the best build I have seen.

I think you’re right about trigger happy survivors being the biggest obstacle.
So many matches where half the team hangs out at the opening gate shooting ravagers, which means that the few who try to open the gate get swamped early.
I’m going to try some jobukko/Kapkan builds next. Thanks for the idea!

Yup. Needed repeating.

Nice! I’m going to play Jubokko Vultures next session.
I might steal that idea too!
Although I wonder if Argus targets the vulture shells? I’m assuming they do, but might not be fast enough to remove it before it blows up.

I made another video about my setup and thought about being better in this video. Also, a full gameplay clip is included, where to whole (Ravagers) team is there. Sometimes people get off so fast or is this again server lags (I had some)?

Great video nice run! I love the idea of having a Tusk as a rammer for the towers so you can save your turrets.

I tried this out a bit ago. Jubokko is fantastic but Vultures seemed lackluster. They don’t have immediate stopping power, have low ammo, don’t take ammo packs and don’t seem to have a huge attack radius. I no longer think they’re S tier. I’d love to try 2 Jubokko King Hadron but don’t have an extra Jubokko.
Jubokkos are great because they have huge ammo count, accept ammo packs, have 2 shots and can zap entire teams. They are spammable powerful and trollish. You can lay an entire field of Jubokkos then watch the suffering unfold.

I’ve been playing my single BP Jubukko with an incinerator and a Kapkan on a tilted omniwheel/meatgrinder build, but I think it’s probably too slow for this mode. Never really played that weapon until recently, but enjoying it way more than I thought I would. I want to get more of them now.

That build sounds Extremely trollish. Incinerator should be great because the Ravager wheels are so bad. I agree that speed is king in the game mode. Omnis can hit 90 something with a Golden Eagle.
How about a hover with rearward facing porcs… that sounds like it’d be lethal.
I don’t have porcs or else I’d report… LOL

Porcs might be good. I will give them a shot but porc brawling requires some hit points and armor as Porcs have a huge blast radius and you often graze yourself with your shots. I will probably blow myself up somehow as the Radiance hover has exposed hovers and 400 hp.
