Tips for noobs post..

Post » Sun Feb 24, 2013 9:17 am

Thought i'd start a new post with tips from players for the noobs of the game..

Tip: Lose Auto Armor. As with everything it takes practice however Armor is more effective if you have it one before you start getting hit. Plus this allows an additional Module to be used and trust me the right combo makes the game so much easier!

Please help the bambi's... Got any tips??

Tip: In Crash Site or Spears- ever been stuck defending a Spear or Pod all alone?? Well a good way to handle this is at the first sign of opposing players (more often than not a grenade) try going cloak and getting the hell out of there. Usually you have an idea on which way they are coming from so flank around them. Remember seeing your opponent before they see you leads to more wins.

Tip: Your being followed!! See this mistake all the time, I have actually followed players all around the map without them having a clue. Always check behind you often, believe me you'll catch some by surprise.
Add-on tip: If your being shot at from someone following you weaving works the best, let them use up some ammo before turning around.

Tip: Sniper!! Lets face it with the addition of the Bow which allows the shooter to remain cloaked and make almost no sound, dealing with snipers is a lot more difficult than in C2. But there are a few things that will help...
1. Watch your kill cam... duh! A lot of snipers don't like wasting time moving around so first thing when you respawn- check that local.
2. Use Nano-Vision- do quick scans often of all high areas. Snipers love high spots.
3. Weave! Never run in straight lines.
4. Make them scared of you!! Nothing better than sneaking up behind them w a stealth kill.. or 2.. or 3.

And just to mention the DSG-1.. its LOUD!!

Loose AA ?
AA is better than manual armour because it protects you all the time, you can't predict when will get shot by a cloaked sniper or a bow user or get shot in a back. AA will protect you against those.

Tip: Team up!! Although going rogue is how most people play, this is not the best way- especially if you're a beginner. Try to stay near your teammates as often as possible.. not only can they save your ass but you might save theirs.

Indeed. It stops you being OHKed by Bows, etc and makes armor activate instantly. The sad truth is Auto-Armor is one of the best modules on the game with Maneuverability.

Thanks for the reply!
I guess I should add that some info:
This should only be implemented after there are at least three valuable mods available so I guess its not for noobs (sorry).
While playing without AA, there should be very little time spent without either armor or cloak engaged.

P.S. Yes. Maneuverability is a great modular. But I prefer Expanded Arsenal (tier 1), Weapon Pro (tier 2) and Hunter (tier 3)
