(so more than a standard AT but not enough to kill at crazy ranges) maybe at medium range it would one shot idk. It would still involve some skill in making sure that the enemies weak spots are visible and that the enemy isn't going to move so drastically that the shot will miss, but yea I hope the spear gets some love and brought up to par with the other AT weapons' thanks for coming to my ted talk!

A box is drawn up around the target and you now must keep the lock target within the box for the charge timer. charge up timer of 2 seconds is imposed, when it is up, the rocket goes.

      It still needs to be fire-and-forget. It's based on the Javelin, so that's kind of the point. They could make it so that left click "marks" an object and the missile will home in on that spot, even if that spot moves, but doesn't need you to manually guide the missile the whole way. That way you could also target weak points.

    @skele_hd5628 Місяць тому

    Simple solution for a simple problem: Allow for manual target locking onto the enviroment via e.g. laser guidance.
    Think about it, you could lock onto the ground in front of an enemy patrol and let loose a rocket at the general area to deal with targets using the aoe damage.
    This would also give the spear a more specialized anti armor role, since it can and will punch through heavy armor if locked on to said heavy targets, but it can also be used to clear out chaff enemies with the explosion of a manual lock.

  • @silvernotice4282
    @silvernotice4282 Місяць тому

    I’ve recently started using the spear shaking the bots and I’m really enjoying myself. Once I figured out how to use it.
    The Spear requires 2 things,
    -the full target to be in to be visible in Aim Down Sights,
    - clear visibility.
    Edging occurs when the target is obstructed in some way. by terrain, fog, explosion dust, storms, distance haze, or a part of the target not being within the guns reticle. (Hulk clipping the borders because it’s getting too close)
    I’m not saying the stratagem is good in its current state. There’s too many rules for it to be consistent. If you find the right planet to use it on, it’s a strong addition to have in your squad.

    I think there should be an alternate fire mode where you can manually force the spear to lock onto player-set pings, with the caveat that it takes a few extra seconds to fire at pings you don’t have direct line of sight on. This would also give it an extra niche, where you can fire at heavy enemies or emplacements that your teammates have pinged without needing to be there, allowing you to operate like pseudo-artillery

  • @llllTatollll
    @llllTatollll Місяць тому

    One of my favorite parts of hd2 is the differences between the rocket launchers
    The e.a.t can be 2 back to back doesn’t use a backpack slot and barely even uses the support weapon slot and you can constantly use the hell pod it comes in as a weapon especially useful for fabricators if you learn how to mortar it
    The recoilless is relatively fast firing when solo but when you have someone use the assisted reload and with a good ammo supply it is an endless stream of rapid fire rockets though it does use both the support slot and the backpack slot
    The quasar only takes the support slot but additionally it reloads automatically even when unequipped and on the ground making it especially good to combo with e.a.ts and another quasar to just alternate weapons for a constant stream of rockets. It also is a much faster projectile speed then other rocket launchers making especially accurate. The 3 second wind up can make it slow to react and if you don’t have another rocket to swap to it basically only takes out a single ship in a drop ship wave provided it’s not an especially large wave. It’s complete lack of ammo requirements allow you to spam it at anything that weighs more then 200 pounds all game.
    The spear does require a slow lock on, a backpack slot and large amounts of ammo consumption but if those aren’t issues I’ve seen it used very successfully in defense missions, the video I saw had a load out of the spear, hmg emplacement, and ems mortar. The ems stopped most the medium and small enemies, the hmg emplacement killed most things that slipped by and the spear killed all the heavies and ammo wasn’t an issue because their teammates didn’t need resupplies

    I think the spear is almost in a very good position. I enjoy it very much against bots. My suggestions would be:
    1. make sure that it does not lock on to small enemies, especially walkers (AT ST).
    2. make sure it properly locks on to drop ship engines.
    3. make it less affected by smoke or weather conditions.
    4. Fix the lvl 4 ship upgrade which allows to fully resupply the spear .
    Its other weaknesses appear to be part of its balance: you trade the largest range, largest single-target damage vs. a backpack slot and the requirement to have a clear line of sight to the enemy. Up to the items mentioned above, this sounds like a fair trade.

    I think all they would have to do to fix the spear would be make it so you can toggle the lock on as a fire mode.
    You can still toggle it on and snipe a gunship and fabricator miles away with pin point accuracy but, if you toggle it off you can just target a charger throwing itself at you and a titan’s face by just making the projectile go straight where you’re aiming.
    I feel it would fail in line with many of the anti heavy weapons but not be too oppressive considering very limited ammo and a backpack slot.

    For one, it’s always seemed to work better for me once I’ve marked the target. But I propose a different idea for it. Make it wire-guided, meaning once the missile is in the air, it follows where you’re aiming. Instead of requiring a lock-on that may or may not take, or may just take forever to acquire, you’d fire the missile and aim your reticle at where you want it to land. Great accuracy and responsiveness, while keeping it somewhat balanced. As it would no longer be a lock-on, fire and forget missile, you’d still need to guide it to its target.

    It's use is opposite of most other weapons: It's great against titan-sized targets and installations, but gets significantly worse as the targets get smaller and smaller. Generally it's used against bots, and apart from Bile Titans, there's no need to actually bring it on bug hunts. That said, using first-person aiming helps a TON with the lock-on time and accuracy, since you can see what The Spear sees, but its damage does need some love. Took me four missiles to kill A single bot tank. That's messed up. Same goes for dropships. I love it though...

    Separately, because spoilers:
    The Commando has toghleable fly-by-wire. Last I tried though, it was unusable at close or even medium range due to very high muzzle velocity and angled launch. Basically a four barreled Ea7 and just as disposable.
    We have a Stinger on the way (it looked disposable) as well as a cluster bomb RPG-looking weapon - so once they arrive, if we had the Spear stick to ground targets (or static tracking) that'll probably balance out some buffs.

    I think we'd have a winner. Aside from dealing with gunships, it serves a function as a very expensive "oh shit" button for when you're surprised by a Bile titan or factory strider just appearing from nowhere, as they do.

      The weapon just not consistently locking on if at all far, far outweighs the versatility and usefulness in my opinion. I like the SPEAR too, it's strong. But making it so unreliable and frustrating to use is just... why take it? If it won't work 100% of the time, there are other weapons that can do its job too and DO work 100% of the time.

  • @Bombsuitsandkilts
    @Bombsuitsandkilts Місяць тому

    I figure if you just required it to be a first person aim and then you have to hold the sight/laser where you want it to hit and it hits that thing. Awesome for long range or if you have a shield generator, not so great for close range because taking damge will mess up your shot.

  • @omegapex
    @omegapex Місяць тому

    The way I look at it I don't think the point of the spear is for it *to* autoaim, it's that due to being a higher payload with a higher intended range it needs to lock on rather than being free-fired... Like the lock on is a dependency rather than a feature
    That being said, it definitely needs that "lock on to pinged target" update BADLY

    • @ReddwarfIV
      @ReddwarfIV Місяць тому

      If you're firing an expensive guided missile, you want it to have the best chance of hitting the target.
      ...of course, the missile will be flying over bushes and rocks, so there's no need for those to be preventing lock-ons

  • @JaziTheWolf
    @JaziTheWolf Місяць тому

    I loved the FAF-14 Spear for it’s ability to destroy enemy installations from a good distance away. However, the negatives are just too great for the positives to really shine. The edging problem should be completely removed, if it can lock on then it locks on.
    Also the real-life counter part the Javelin, has two modes. A top attack mode and direct attack mode. The top attack mode is the famous one, and the one in the game. It is where the missile shoots up in the air atound 150 m and then attacks the target from the top. I think the Spear would benefit from the direct attack mode, to make it more viable and hitting Hulks, Chargers and Bile Titans in their weakspots more effectively. This mode switch would fit perfectly in the Spear. If you found this informative make it known and loud. We need two modes for the FAF-14 Spear!!!!

  • @Zane12ai
    @Zane12ai Місяць тому +1

    The spear is realistic, you see, if a fabricator is 20% blocked by a rock, we know thats a fabricator becuase our brains are the strongest computers on earth. But the spear, isnt that smart. Sure it knows what things are, but it needs to see the whole picture. The spear is incapable of making an edjucated guess with 100% accuraccy like we can, becuase frankly, the computer isnt strong enough.
    Its really cool and emersive, even though its a pain in the ass. Long story short, make sure your target isnt obstructed by anything, high ground is your friend, and avoid trees.

    • @ReddwarfIV
      @ReddwarfIV Місяць тому +1

      The problem is when the target _isn't_ obstructed and it still won't lock on. Which is a confirmed bug.
      For instance, there's no reason it shouldn't lock on gunships in clear skies.

  • @GameLeaderR
    @GameLeaderR Місяць тому

    I really love when the Spear works though I agree it need some buffs. I disagree that you need to nerf other weapons, instead make it so that is you can visually ping it, it will lock on (though it won't account for something blocking the path it takes so that's on you.) Also, increase the damage so it 1 shots most things it's giving time to lock on to but it has increased lock on time to help balance out the bigger damage

  • @millerrepin4452
    @millerrepin4452 Місяць тому

    Commando is a new leaked weapon that does follow your aim after you fire it. It's four shots and you throw it away with a 2:30 cool down.
    Also, don't nerf weapons just to make the spear better.
    Just buff the spear damage so it kills regardless of where it hits and it would be worth the hassle of It's auto aim.

  • @jacopomalatesta4913
    @jacopomalatesta4913 Місяць тому

    It should work like Fortnite’s one, if it locks on, it locks on, otherwise if you aim somewhere while not having a target locked and pull the trigger, the rocket will fly in that general direction, go up, and then fall down towards the ground you aimed
