EPTyou would think this would mean a marked improvement in the level of play with all these experienced players around but for some reason it ends up pretty much the same.

It wasn't like that four days ago when i last was online Oo For the last few weeks it seems to have been shifting heavily to a defense based game, at least the times i've played on the London server. I usually just go Juggerspam then and get lots of kills  | ||

No idea why so many raiders like the plasma gun. It's kinda meh unless you're just dueling or playing defense. Nade launcher wrecks for offense. | ||

Shield pack is better if you get hit a lot, jammer lets you get in free hits when they can't see you coming. Cluster is excellent for smashing multiple opponents in tight spaces. | ||

Shield toggling extends your lifetime by at least 2x, even 3x. And the grenade launcher does that job just as well as cluster nades because cluster nades have way too long fuses. | ||

We clearly have different experiences with the cluster nades, And getting spotted isn't exactly a super long term thing, so the jammer can work quite nicely if you're clear for a couple of seconds. Different experiences, and possibly different uses. I'm not going to tell you NOT to use what you like, but that setup works quite well for me. | ||

Absolutely filthy. Decent dueling, and a terror in gen rooms. No idea why so many raiders like the plasma gun. It's kinda meh unless you're just dueling or playing defense. Nade launcher wrecks for offense. Nade Launcher is so under rated. People don't realize that a direct hit instantly explodes and deals 550. I kill so many people outside with the Nade Launcher. And then the QQ, since nobody ever uses the Nade Launcher. Not only is it good for dueling, bu you can clear the Flash Stand, and raid the Gen with ease. You can also rain long range Nades. I've used the Plasma, its okay, but I'm ok with my Secondary for dueling. | ||

I've used the Plasma, its okay, but I'm ok with my Secondary for dueling. Yeah, that's pretty much my take too. I don't use the launcher much for dueling outside, just because it's kinda a pain in the ass to lead right most of the time, but my secondary, with those 140 damage hits, is plenty, and the nade launcher just fucking wrecks. My favorite thing with clusters, though, is putting them in a doorway when people try to duck out of sight to reload, they run back around the corner and get eaten by secondarys. | ||

The only thing I wish is that they would make larger more complex indoor areas. I haven't gotten the Cluster grenade yet, I might consider it now. The issue is that every-time I save up for something, everything else is so tempting to buy. | ||

Hard to be sure. Bounty hunter perk is tempting, since I like to call down tacs and orbitals while I'm skiing in to blow up gens. | ||

I've neglected working on perks in exchange for more weapons. | ||
