The shining thing in armor mode...?

Post » Sun Mar 13, 2011 7:22 am

Well, it appears very often in the game, that I shoot at someone in armor mode (I guess), and I see it blinking yellow and hearing sounds of reflection... those have high health, means, I need more bullets for one of them than for one without this in armor mode. They don't wear Armor-Enhance...can anyone tell me what that is? It's not the Deflection if you die 5 times in a row.

I'm guessing it's Deflection.

It's either Deflection or Maximum Nanosuit that your on about.

But it really sounds like it's Deflection. do the players that have this have a yellow rank insignia showing at the time it happens? if so it is Deflection.

Yeah:

Yellow rank icon, and when shots fired, gold streams emit from them, that is Deflection, the death streak module.

If they appear in armor mode, but the little "glow" that you get from armor mode is blinking on and off, that is Maximum Nanosuit, the 7 skill streak support bonus.

In both cases, it makes it harder for them to die. However, Maximum Nanosuit is MUCH more effective at preventing death than Deflection. Plus, people in Maximum Nanosuit have unlimited sprint and jump. So yeah, if you see a blinking armor mode, Id stay away. When using it, I am like 40-1 when using Maximum Nanosuit alltime, so its pretty effective!

40 - 1 seems a little high.
Since it's 7 kills to MN. So you get ca 20 kills in MN?
That's beast.

Maybe 2x or 3x MN, but that's a bit hard.

Well, I am level 43 so I know what is Maximum Nanosuit and what not... and it's certainly not MN. And some players do have it, even in the start of a game. Or with 3-2 rate... so it isn't Maximum Nanosuit and not deflection... I hate this. q_q

I'm not sure on how deflection gets activated, I know that it's a death streak. Sometimes however I feel like the newest of players get it sooner like those in the new recruit rank. Would need Mr. Adam to come with a post explaining how exactly it is activated.

I also saw this shining thing. And everyone who killed me because they had more armor than I had armor enhance equipped. So I guess, maybe this shining thing is armor enhance lv2 or 3....can't prove it, though. I don't use armor enhance.

No, Armor Enhance doesn't improve your ability to get more damage till you die... and those players don't have armor enhance equipped, so it can't be that. Yesterday, I played again and looked for one player without a long death streak with this (let's call it deflection..) Deflection, and I saw one. It was in the start of the game, I got the first kill and my victim was one with Deflection. I don't think it's a hack, because there are way too much players with this Deflection, but what can it be...? Is Deflection starting with 3 Deaths and not with 5? Or do you need less deaths in low level? Or Woot? >_<

I have noticed 'Deflection' showing up in my HUD but didn't know why. Probably is something to do with death streaks because that happens to me quite a lot.
