Call me crazy but coming from SGs and now using drones…things are not as polished as they should be.
I have triggers but i hardly use them, they require a lot of cold blood and sufficient time on target to work.
Auroras in the other hand are more forgiven in that aspect.
I made some changes in my build, and after that i run some tests, tests with perfect conditions not translated in “real world” conditions but nevertheless, against a stationary bot.
3 triggers = 485 yellow damage per burst, point blank
I don’t remember the damage at 50 meters, but at 100 meters a burst of triggers translate in 149 yellow damage.
Then i tried with 2 triggers and a single aurora, at point blank 600 something yellow damage.
Some hybrid builds work, but the majority don’t.
In this case what your experience say?
Anything + aurora on a stationnary target will always seem incredible. Aurora can fully heat a part in a few seconds and double your damages and on a stationnary target you can garantee that the aurora will hit the same part as your other weapons which is not always true in real fight. To be fair it’s very useful to have it with hitscan weapons. It’s usually not played with trigger for 2 reasons : First, triggers do heat parts themselves. So the second hit of the triggers should do massive damages even without auroras. Second, the aurora requires radiators to be efficient, which don’t synergize with triggers (you would need a flywheel for them instead).
The aurora and reapers fught each other a bit in that one fires ballistic projectiles (reaper) while the other (aurora) fires hitscan, meaning fighting a strafing enemy will have your reaper bullets lagging behind your target if you aim the aurora directly.
Equalizers and arbiters are hitscan, so they dont suffer from this problem.
Since the end of Summer of 2022 ( where i completed my set of Gremlins) to when i started to play drones.
I did a proto meta Gremlin Meta build, only lacking the Omni wheels
Overcharged broken this build temporarily
Looks like you’re working mostly with Bigfoots lately, and I like how they’re feeling since the last update.
Have you gone through a melee phase? Can be a fun change of pace from aiming or dropping drones. And the Bigfoot/cheetah/cloak combo is still good on melee builds for quick recharging of your cloak.
There are lots of cabs that can be used, even a couple heavy ones.
To tell the truth i’m a bit fed up with BFs by now, they have been in my last two SGs builds and in my last two drone builds, for some time now.
I built two lacerators and two maulders and one tormentor once but i didn’t have the chance to develop a build, i sold them last year or so.
I was thinking in buying a Ermak cabin and a tusk cabin but in one of his latest videos JBRider said that the tusk will be nerfed.
So, i’m not sure about the second cabin…
I’m thinking in getting Atoms, legs, parking spaces, and the rest i don’t know
