Guess who’s benefitting from the fin whale…
My built for speed model is about to get an upgrade, when the Fin whale makes it into my storage…
Use buggy wheels
Had some, didn’t like the way they looked. Besides, I could buy a legendary with how much the steering wheels were going for when I sold them (that’s how I obtained a Cohort)
I suspect that price will tank, then my buyer’s remorse will kick me hard, when it’s priced like the Manitou is now. I’m not sure it’ll go that low, though.
There are 33 of them up for sale now, at around 1.8K, which is pretty high for PC. For reference: the Torero sells for about 1.6K here on the PC. My guess is they’ll drop to about 800c eventually…but IDK. I’m not very good at making those kinds of speculations.
I sold a lot of my useless crap, so I had the coin…bought a Blight too, and that’s what I’m tinkering with today.
Torero is at 1000 buying and 1500 selling right now on Xbox, which is actually higher than usual. The Kensei is at 2100 and 3100 in comparison. I’ll spend 1k on it but no more unless I really have to. I’m sure that it’ll be in the workbench of the next mini pass though… or during an event with a fixed fusion like they did with Catalina.
…didn’t work…
…totally did work…
Spilled a little MudnBeer on this one…
I had the blue-print for MudnBeer’s shotgun wedge a few months back, but I didn’t have the parts to assemble it, so I’ve been collecting the parts for a while. I Don’t think I have the blue-print any more, but I have most of the parts now, so I threw together my own interpretation…I borrow a lot of ideas from other players. So, thanks.

Well I bought the Kensei, then sold it for profit as I couldn’t build anything which I thought looked good… like the Torero the angles are too rough to make anything simply
Speaking of Torrero, I finally picked one up. I won a bunch of coin in that meat can lottery, so I acquired the three toadfish I was grinding out a lot quicker than I expected.
I tried a bunch of Gerrida, hover, and even an Atom build, but this stripped down wheeled build was the first one to actually feel good:
Hot Rod for the accuracy perk, and lower level modules to get it under 9kPS.
Since that worked well, I figured I should try Hot Rods big brother, Torerro. Also under 9kPS:
And then I made a high PS version, with Thor, Yeti, Finwhale, Doppler. Love seeing Finwhale vibrating in the open front hood:
And also threw together a quick Equalizer/Aurora/Janabbi/Finwhale car:
Put the side crossbows sideways and it looks way nice, not as good firing angles but way nicer imo
I tried that, but I miss the firing angles. With this layout I almost never have any shots blocked, and I can shoot backwards at people chasing me.
Yes, it makes me wider than I would like, but that also helps stop me from flipping at high speeds.
The vertical cabin mounting works really well with strafing parts though, and is my preferred method on those builds.
Dick Mode.
Some play-styles are much harder than they look…this ain’t one of them.
You need too more upright for that… lol… I actually went higher in PS to try to avoid some of the melee. Perhaps that’s a new driver angle for the PS chain. lol…
Done 
I could probably add more bling to make it honest, by raising the power-score…and maybe add more better funner?
Needs more bling.
MoRe bLiNg… 
…seems to have properly ended its winning streak, but wow…there is nothing but melee out there, just like this…but with a little less bling.
Yeah, it’s sad seeing how many Lacerators are still around despite the nerf coming literally tomorrow… they really do clutch to their crutches.
I used Lacerators for years when they were weak. It’s good that they’re finally actually good, but I do agree they could be nerfed a bit now.
But after a year of DPS strafing meta, it’s about time that melee cut into that strategy a bit.
Now they just need to buff cannons and missiles a bit.
Luckily my platsyle seems to counter most things, but melee requires more effort. I lost a game earlier to bad terrain and it really triggered me ngl… It wasn’t even to melee…
I got left 1v5 and I was on the drop down ledge on Rock City if you know where i mean… you have to fall off the top. My only way off is to hop down into the tunnel where 2 enemies wait for me to jump down knowing I have no other exit. These 2 enemies are a quad equaliser Omni build and a 2 NotHung MG hover (my literal hardest counters). -
I killed a melee who fell with me, was easy… then I wait, a dual cyclone omni jumps down and I strip them in 1 shot… idiot really.
I wait for my cloak and Aegis to charge and dive off the ledge, the Omni build had squashed up close to not get shot, I shot backwards and nailed them and took a gun, they’re on fire. I drive off around the corner towards the spawn… the hover chases me, I shoot backwards and slap them.
I cloak during their confusion and dive up the top (the part with bad terrain, i had no choice as the Omni was in the tunnel). On my way up I shoot back and nail the hover, they’re crippled and on fire (lol).
This whole time 1 guy is capping base, 2/3 done so I gotta get to it… on my way up the hill my car is bumping everywhere and when I reach the top my car rolls for no reason. I car jack and dive off towards the base. I shoot behind me and kill the Omni guy.
I fail to get to base to stop cap because of the time wasted by the terrain snagging and flipping.
I literally outplay 5 players when I have the worse possible odds yet terrain causes me to lose, these are the reasons why terrain and bots really annoy me when they ruin matches.
