Why is no one complaining about the swarm? every game you got at least 2 of them causing havoc behind the front lines dishing out massive damage on either hovers playing peek a boo behind cover or players doing a shoot and scoot on wheels. In Next step you got them on choppers every game dive bombing you, killing you with two hits as well. I just had a game then in next step with a build that has over 5200 hp and i got took out in two hits, two bloody swarm hits that’s all it took to destroy my tank of a build.
It also don’t make matters better that the swarm always hit you in the most vulnerable area which is directly from the top. I lost count how many times i got taken out with just 2 to 3 swarm hits and it don’t matter how much armour you have tacked on because the vertical downward angle just sheds it all off in one blow leaving just a few hp left over on your cab.
i actually came across helis running these and i was so confused because i thought you couldnt run them on helis. i was actually targeted by one guy a while back who wouldnt stop stalking me, so i whipped around and used my mgs on him and he turned tail and ran like the coward he is. soon as i started chasing him he stopped harassing me. i do agree however that swarms on helis is a major issue and i feel they shouldnt be allowed on any kind of heli build.
its funny that i actually seen people running them on helis and whatnot now since they werent that good before.
thats how they always been though unless your driving fast enough for them to hook you on the back.
people tell me to mount my weapons to angle up, then they say to armor my build from the top, im rather irritated by this because i want to armor my fricken build to combat ground units, i dont need my build being shredded from both fricken angles. its either one or the other with this crap and im sick of it. on top of this i hate mounting my weapons on the side because it limits my firing angles heavily. its either aim up to hit the asshole above me or angle my weapons to hit the people beside me. its a lose lose situation.
It is where the swarm shots arches over and hits all your armour pieces at the one time thats what I’m talking about. It just shreds your build right to bits and it don’t matter if you got like 7000 hp it all just comes off in one blow.
I assume your talking about the next step game mode but the swarm is a plague in all modes cc and reg missions included. The swarm just hits that hard your basically hopeless. I know the default strategy should be to bum rush them but that’s hard to do when they are using the bots as shields firing their shots over the bots so then you got to get thru the bots, then whatever teammates is covering the swarm players and after all is said and done then maybe just maybe you might defy the odds and finally get the pesky swarm player.
Hell even if there is no one between you and the swarm player they are only gonna back off then cripple you cause they mainly use hovers and they will just try to prevent you from getting in their blind firing spot which is the only weakness of the swarm
I think the main reason nobody complains about them is that we all knew they were overbuffed when they got the buff, and we all know they’re gonna get nerfed eventually, if not sooner then at least when they’re rolling out new parts in some pass that nobody is buying because Swarm still good
Wish they did it with the Lucifer, poor gun has never gotten to be super good
It got a crazy fast projectile speed too probably faster than cannons. All you got too do is just aim a wee bit in front of an enemies movement and your instantly dealing thousands of easy damage. If the weapon is gonna dish out that amount of damage at least make the player work for it! but the devs can never get with the program they should of seen this coming.
I don’t know the swarm, i get those very rarely to even care about them but the sad thing is just like the Nest,
A cool weapon, i like it but when it’s introduced to the game is OP, then they nerf it to the ground destroying it
