I get so hyped every time one of these shows up in my sub box. Thanks for all these great guides Otaku! Not sure if I want to touch this gun though, thermal vision is cool and all but I suck at getting kills with Lando
Your comment is glitched. When I click on it, it shows what was intended and related to this Star Wars video but when scrolling I'm seeing a comment that was posted on a game of thrones video just now titled The cast Remembers and I was so confused for a moment.
A small part of me wishes these videos weren't as popular. I feel like I do so much better after watching them, and then when I die a lot, I assume that the other guys were watching these videos too. Awesome vid again Otaku.
OTAKU, are you going to do a new star card video? I think one of mine may be glitched out, but I haven't found anywhere on the internet that can help. It's where you have to use the ion cannon 20 times. I use all of my ion abilities and nothing counts towards the count. Is this just a glitch? I'm on PS4.
+H DR I don't see there's glitches with any ion equipment, and I hunt vehicles. I usually use Jump Pack, Ion Shot, and Grenade. I destroy AT-STs 20 seconds after they spawn :P
Otaku my dad spent the whole summer in the hospital and you helped me through it and supported me...while your channel may not be about that subject I appreciate the good videos and work... Thanks man :)
Dulana Gunasena It really doesn't need the 2 shot kill in CQB. It's intended for long distance and should best at that range. The DL-44 already 2 shots at CQB and fills that role.
Theres a good idea i found from a youtuber Heres the set Jump pack Any charge (recommended are focus fire, cooling cell, adrenaline stim or personal shield) Smoke grenade Of course with X-8 So put smoke grenade then just aim and fire, they cant see you u cant see them I would credit the youtuber that posted this idea although i added some to this but idk his/her name
+OTAKU GAMING I love your videos! They are by far, superior over other Battlefront channels when it comes to tips and tricks and just a great guide for not even just beginners but even great players. And so I was wondering with the Death Star DLC on the way I was wondering if you could do a video for flying spaceships with rumors of lots of space maps. (I'm sorry if you have already done one and I just didn't find it.) Because I normally don't do flying so it would be great to have a guide on that. Keep up the great work!
Scarif Landing Pad13 is also a great place to use the X8. You can't win gunfights up close but can def use the night vision to shoot enemy across the water ways.
Haven't really used this gun, only for completing the hutt contracts. Will give it a try with your loadout suggestion. Will substitute disruption with something else tho. Thank you for another great analysis. Keep it up!
Spot on for this review! For me I just use this blaster for fun. I like it for the darker battles to give myself a different view but often find it lacks the finishing power needed to rack up kills.
since watching this video I've gone back to this gun. and I think I've come up with the perfect night watch load out. Jump Pack, Scatter Gun, Focus fire, x8 night sniper and scout. 8 out of 10 matches I do very well with this load out.
Damn Otaku, great video. You are the Levelcap of the battlefront community. I wish you could upload more often though, btw do you think you could do a review of the stinger pistol?
I don't usually use X8 coz it sucks, but after watching this vid, I'll give it another chance. I really do hope it gets buffed because it is a very unique blaster. It deserves to be better. Awesome video dude, as always.
Have you noticed a strange shot drift with the X-8 when in third person and zoomed in? It seems like fully aimed shots tend to fly a bit to the right with Lando and I think with the regular X-8 as well.
I saw this pop up on my phone at about 1-2 this morning and just had to wat until now to watch it. I personally haven't used this weapon as I don't own the Bespin DLC, but like you said, it doesn't seem to have any real advantages. Another great and entertaining video regardless though.
Just recently subbed OTAKU. Love your content, factual with a bit of fun to it. I kind of suck and your videos helped a hell of a lot. I am aspiring to get better as a pilot though, so a video on how to dogfight/ specifically shake enemy pilots on your tail would be appreciated. Another question I would appreciate being answered is if you are one of the better pilots on your team, should you just try to go for starfighter pickups if you know you'll be more effective in the air? Also where do you think the match is really won, on the ground or with good aerial support?
OTAKU GAMING Yup. I enjoy your videos though :) I really want you to make more guides on game modes (I would like to see Turning Point and Cargo) but I understand if you don't make them...
The main reason is because there is a lot of swearing, talking to the stream and other stuff that just doesn't paint a good picture for my regular viewing audience. The second reason is that I'm playing the game with the sound on and therefore the copyright monsters will come to get you if you keep it up.
Fabulous review as always. I just wish the x8 scope was on the t21b or dlt19x or t21 or ee3 or any weapon besides the one it is on. They might as well have put this scope on the Stinger pistol. If Lando had to use this version of the pistol he would've retired.
I fell like this weapon is for some (like me) who finds themselves fighting people at all ranges it reminds me of the bro it's not the best for any situation but still is good/okay at all ranges
No no no. The A280C and E-11 are good all rounder weapons because their design makes them extremely easy to use, ontop of doing decently in all situations. The X-8 high dmg with low rof is a skill based design that isn't very easy to use.
Hi Otaku! Really love your work! Do you know how much credits we will need, give or take, for the death star DLC? Awesome channel man, really awesome, you've helped me and my friends perform much better!
I love X-8, it works well for me on PC in both CQC, medium and long range combat. Works well with explosive shot but I prefer just getting headshots, night scope makes it easy on long range and low spread in general on all ranges. Sure EE-4 and many others have faster TTK, but you can 1v1 with it no problem without charge cards even in CQC scenario. Slight buff would do it well, but what are you gonna buff to not make it OP if it's already a very versitile skill blaster?
Some Pig Some people won't react on long range fast enough if you snipe them and the scope helps with that on any map. Obviously you have to go for headshots. If you have the high ground it also eliminates some cover for enemies and if they don't know where you are they might take wrong cover and allow you to get that last shot in 8).
Yeah it's silly to throw it on other people, all that does it make it harder for your team to kill them. Throw it on yourself and you can hide while still being able to see/shoot them.
Another great video! Otaku, all your videos are so great, but why stick to Star Wars: Battlefront? I know that's what this channel is for, but I think you would get more attention if you did some other games (Battlefield 1 for example). This is just a suggestion, I love all your content. Keep up the good work!
I get so hyped every time one of these shows up in my sub box. Thanks for all these great guides Otaku! Not sure if I want to touch this gun though, thermal vision is cool and all but I suck at getting kills with Lando
Thanks dude, happy you feel that way. I concur, it's quite difficult to use.
+OTAKU GAMING its kind of like a more long range+thermal vision version of the dl-44

Your comment is glitched. When I click on it, it shows what was intended and related to this Star Wars video but when scrolling I'm seeing a comment that was posted on a game of thrones video just now titled The cast Remembers and I was so confused for a moment.
I'm like what does Emilia Clarke and her falling of a horse got to do with this Battlefront vid.
Indeed very weird sir.
A small part of me wishes these videos weren't as popular. I feel like I do so much better after watching them, and then when I die a lot, I assume that the other guys were watching these videos too.
Awesome vid again Otaku.
lmfao!
OTAKU, are you going to do a new star card video? I think one of mine may be glitched out, but I haven't found anywhere on the internet that can help. It's where you have to use the ion cannon 20 times. I use all of my ion abilities and nothing counts towards the count. Is this just a glitch? I'm on PS4.
H DR
Ehh I heard it's glitched for some people.
OTAKU GAMING Thanks. Now quit your new job and make more videos! I miss the content.
+H DR I don't see there's glitches with any ion equipment, and I hunt vehicles. I usually use Jump Pack, Ion Shot, and Grenade. I destroy AT-STs 20 seconds after they spawn :P
Otaku my dad spent the whole summer in the hospital and you helped me through it and supported me...while your channel may not be about that subject I appreciate the good videos and work... Thanks man :)
Sorry to hear that, I hope he gets better. The OTAKU is with you both.
Awesome video as always! Making players better one vid at a time.
Thanks dude!
Your videos are honestly getting a lot better. Better design, more in depth info, and it looks like Im watching a powerpoint presentation. 👍
Not sure how I feel about that last part
+OTAKU GAMING Lol a good presentation
Stroke the Forge
lol
Increase the rate of fire and it would be a lot better
agreed, and maybe also allow for 1 or 2 more shots before cooldown
I think just increasing the dmg at long distance to give it better sniping TTK would be perfect.
OTAKU GAMING maybe lower fire rate and make it 2 shot kill at short range and 3 shot kill at farther range?
Dulana Gunasena
It really doesn't need the 2 shot kill in CQB. It's intended for long distance and should best at that range. The DL-44 already 2 shots at CQB and fills that role.
OTAKU GAMING so 3 shots short distance and 3 shots long distance?
Hey man! LOVE your videos. So helpful & we appreciate all the work you do.
Can't wait to see your Death Star & Scarif detail videos!
Thanks dude
usefull, everytime you post a guide people get slightly better at the game. great vid keep it up
Happy to help
+OTAKU GAMING
👍👍👍
Nice vid! Keep up the great work on your channel!!! You should be at 30k in no time!!!
Thank you Avery
Kala Becton
Yeah yea...
Theres a good idea i found from a youtuber
Heres the set
Jump pack
Any charge (recommended are focus fire, cooling cell, adrenaline stim or personal shield)
Smoke grenade
Of course with X-8
So put smoke grenade then just aim and fire, they cant see you u cant see them
I would credit the youtuber that posted this idea although i added some to this but idk his/her name
Or also disruption
Pretty sure that's from Battlefront Updates
Thats basically what he was doing in the gameplay footage shown in the video.
I think the UA-camrs name is OTAKU GAMING
great video, really shows how much time and effort you put in to these videos.
Thanks Ali, you're my #1 pretend girl.
Always love your guides, I'll try the X-8 Sniper again with this in mind
+OTAKU GAMING I love your videos! They are by far, superior over other Battlefront channels when it comes to tips and tricks and just a great guide for not even just beginners but even great players. And so I was wondering with the Death Star DLC on the way I was wondering if you could do a video for flying spaceships with rumors of lots of space maps. (I'm sorry if you have already done one and I just didn't find it.) Because I normally don't do flying so it would be great to have a guide on that. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the feedback and suggestion dude, I will consider it.
Great tutorial man. Love your vids, I've been hooked for a while
Thanks dude, glad you enjoy them.
my favorite blaster pistol ever
I used to suck at battlefront. Then I found the Otaku.
Same
Now i'm really good
+Fartsparkle Master Yeah me too
Thanks guys
Scarif Landing Pad13 is also a great place to use the X8. You can't win gunfights up close but can def use the night vision to shoot enemy across the water ways.
Haven't really used this gun, only for completing the hutt contracts. Will give it a try with your loadout suggestion. Will substitute disruption with something else tho. Thank you for another great analysis. Keep it up!
Welcome
Spot on for this review! For me I just use this blaster for fun. I like it for the darker battles to give myself a different view but often find it lacks the finishing power needed to rack up kills.
Thanks ^_^
I use scan pulse instead of disrupt, it allows my team to see enemies thru my smoke grenades, dioxis and scout
Gary McCray teammates don't get to see through walls only u when it comes to pulse but the droid lets your whole team see everything
Great vid otaku! Keep up the great work btw the night sniper is my favorite pistol
Thanks dude
So true Otaku! EE3 is my go to sharpshooter.
Imperials are at a disadvantage if they are using normal outfits on endor
I love this gun. Getting 40+ kills with it now.
Good stuff
OTAKU GAMING it takes skill but pays off
GoT reference, nice
This was the last gun I unlocked, I LOVE IT, best on rogue one scarif
Oh wow you really couldn't see me in those clips. I know you said I was hard to see but I didn't expect to be completely invisible
Straight ninja bro
love this weapon man, fits my playing style perfectly
Good to hear
I have been struggling to get this blaster in Hurt contracts. Now I'm not so keen on it. Thanks for the review!!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for thinking about my request dude, even though we lost. 😂 (we might get one more chance)
^_^
\_('-')_/
since watching this video I've gone back to this gun. and I think I've come up with the perfect night watch load out. Jump Pack, Scatter Gun, Focus fire, x8 night sniper and scout. 8 out of 10 matches I do very well with this load out.
Doesn't sound that great to me, but whatever works for you.
Awesome video, as always
Thanks
Damn Otaku, great video. You are the Levelcap of the battlefront community. I wish you could upload more often though, btw do you think you could do a review of the stinger pistol?
Thanks dude, except I don't play with Lego.
So use it in Sabotage and bring along Lando-isk gear.
What would make it much better would be a bump in damage. 50 at close and 40 at distance.
Pretty much
As always great work OTAKU
Thank you
I don't usually use X8 coz it sucks, but after watching this vid, I'll give it another chance. I really do hope it gets buffed because it is a very unique blaster. It deserves to be better. Awesome video dude, as always.
Thanks man
great viedo otaku love your vids and livestreams
Thanks dude
Have you noticed a strange shot drift with the X-8 when in third person and zoomed in? It seems like fully aimed shots tend to fly a bit to the right with Lando and I think with the regular X-8 as well.
I've seen that
Yeah i know what you mean. Its so annoying
Agreed, shots fly off when ADS but very accurate when hipfiring.
Hmm, guess I need to stick to hip firing then and just use the thermal view to see where the enemy is.
OmegaEpsilon
Exactly
I love this gun. I win 99% of my gun fights. It's the best combination between close combat and long distance shooting.
How did you organize the TTK chats? I can't seem to do that
Fantastic as usual.
Thanks dude
I saw this pop up on my phone at about 1-2 this morning and just had to wat until now to watch it. I personally haven't used this weapon as I don't own the Bespin DLC, but like you said, it doesn't seem to have any real advantages. Another great and entertaining video regardless though.
Thanks Brit
+OTAKU GAMING No problem. Just giving credit where it's due.
Just recently subbed OTAKU. Love your content, factual with a bit of fun to it. I kind of suck and your videos helped a hell of a lot. I am aspiring to get better as a pilot though, so a video on how to dogfight/ specifically shake enemy pilots on your tail would be appreciated. Another question I would appreciate being answered is if you are one of the better pilots on your team, should you just try to go for starfighter pickups if you know you'll be more effective in the air? Also where do you think the match is really won, on the ground or with good aerial support?
I will probably have a starfighter focused video for the next dlc. If you are a good pilot and that is what you like to do, then just go for it.
under the correct circumstances i find the X-8 to be incredible, the other day on survivors of endor map i went 40-6 only using the X-8
Good stuff
Otaco uploaded!
Yep
"Otaco" hahah
***** What makes you say that?
JakobTheFreek
He's just but hurt because I don't give him special attention in the comments.
OTAKU GAMING Yup. I enjoy your videos though :) I really want you to make more guides on game modes (I would like to see Turning Point and Cargo) but I understand if you don't make them...
Keep up the great work!
Thanks dude
Honestly I like hip firing with it between like 5-15 feet better than scoping in at long range
Yeah I wouldn't ADS for CQB fights unless im hiding in some corner and there is smoke everywhere.
will you do a review on the heavy repeater and bryar pistol?
Yep
Why do u delete your streams after u finished because I would like it if u kept it on your channel
The main reason is because there is a lot of swearing, talking to the stream and other stuff that just doesn't paint a good picture for my regular viewing audience. The second reason is that I'm playing the game with the sound on and therefore the copyright monsters will come to get you if you keep it up.
+OTAKU GAMING ok thx just wondering cause your streams r fucking hilarious
Fabulous review as always. I just wish the x8 scope was on the t21b or dlt19x or t21 or ee3 or any weapon besides the one it is on. They might as well have put this scope on the Stinger pistol. If Lando had to use this version of the pistol he would've retired.
This scope on the EE-3 would be so god mode.
I just got the weapon thx for the guide.
Welcome dude
This was the best gun ever!!!! It's really cool
Would be an ok idea to do a trait guide or no? It's ok if it's not
Not sure
I was really enjoying the X8 but then I bought the DT12 and I haven't been back since.
Yeah the DT-12 is really badass with the recent buff.
I fell like this weapon is for some (like me) who finds themselves fighting people at all ranges it reminds me of the bro it's not the best for any situation but still is good/okay at all ranges
No no no. The A280C and E-11 are good all rounder weapons because their design makes them extremely easy to use, ontop of doing decently in all situations. The X-8 high dmg with low rof is a skill based design that isn't very easy to use.
How did you organize the TTK charts? I can't seem to do it
Well If you know web coding then it's pretty easy. Just inspect element on the page and you can edit whatever you want.
Otaku r u going to make a escape artist vid because loads of peeps hate but loads love it
Humm, I will consider it.
I am battlefront one and I can use the X8 night sniper very well in close quarters I’ve perfected it I think
Hi Otaku! Really love your work! Do you know how much credits we will need, give or take, for the death star DLC?
Awesome channel man, really awesome, you've helped me and my friends perform much better!
Good question, no idea! Guess we just have to wait and see.
I guess so then ^^ Good gaming and continue being awesome man!
It's crazy how well
you do with these guns even though they suck. But nice vid, can't wait for the next one
It's not the guns that suck it's the player
Nope, pretty sure some guns suck. I would have instantly performed at least twice as good in any of my X-8 games by using something else.
I love X-8, it works well for me on PC in both CQC, medium and long range combat. Works well with explosive shot but I prefer just getting headshots, night scope makes it easy on long range and low spread in general on all ranges. Sure EE-4 and many others have faster TTK, but you can 1v1 with it no problem without charge cards even in CQC scenario. Slight buff would do it well, but what are you gonna buff to not make it OP if it's already a very versitile skill blaster?
When I use it it's usually at short and medium range as people always find cover at long range or get killed
Some Pig Some people won't react on long range fast enough if you snipe them and the scope helps with that on any map. Obviously you have to go for headshots. If you have the high ground it also eliminates some cover for enemies and if they don't know where you are they might take wrong cover and allow you to get that last shot in 8).
Comand94 Yeah, just sometimes you have to be ready so usually I'd pick targets before firing
nice vid as always xD
Thank you
Dude when you dropped the Smoke on yourself and used the X-8's computerized Scope I was like "That is such a good Idea"
Yeah it's silly to throw it on other people, all that does it make it harder for your team to kill them. Throw it on yourself and you can hide while still being able to see/shoot them.
This helps I thought it was an ok gun because I had one good game I was 50-9 in drop zone but I haven't been very good with it since so thanks!
Welcome, glad I could clear that up for you.
Another great video! Otaku, all your videos are so great, but why stick to Star Wars: Battlefront? I know that's what this channel is for, but I think you would get more attention if you did some other games (Battlefield 1 for example). This is just a suggestion, I love all your content. Keep up the good work!
I will be expanding shortly.
It's been a while but worth the wair
Thanks for waiting
+OTAKU GAMING I saw your shirt on an Idubbbz video
Keep up the good work
Will do, thanks
Ya I have been waiting so long yaaaaaaa
Sowwyzzzzzz
What does the twi Lek skin fit with
No cloths
Awesome vid also why havent you made videos in couple weeks
I was busy being lazy
I liked your battlefield 1 stream (:
Thank you, look forward to some videos.
Perhaps a Stinger Pistol review. I like seeing that
I will consider it, thanks for the suggestion
Did you get a deal with symthic or did they change their rules?
We are on pretty friendly terms.
good to hear
What do you guys think of the new escape artist trait
Haven't unlocked it yet
Wish melee didn't suck
what do you mean mate i found the melee to be great and super effective against things like disruption
A member of the nights watch is a cold one. Do you promise to defend the nights watch until death XD
no comment
+OTAKU GAMING I'll take that as a yes
Thanks for the help. I no longer suck.
cool
Hehe. Nice GoT reference ;-). And a good video as well.
Thanks dude
OTAKU GAMING No problem man. And keep playing bf1. 2 more days to go!
great video!
What's the highly amount of kills you have gotten in any mode?
No idea
This gun has a better time to kill than both the Bo rifle and the EE3.. at ALL ranges...
Simon Dean What? The EE3 takes like .5 seconds to kill with in my hands.
great video otaku, I got my ass handed to me using this blaster pistol... I'll try your strategies though, seems like good fun
Thanks dude
are you gonna do the Escape Artist next?
Uhm Dengar next
+OTAKU GAMING Dammit.
how to imperial guard
Good guide, but when is Overwatch content arriving to the channel?
Yestermorrow
+OTAKU GAMING seems legit XD
Blue Waffle Junior
:3
Otaku, why is the ee4 so slow to kill but everyone likes It? Is there somthing I'm missing
It's a very strong blaster at close range, you can even one-burst enemys.
It's pretty decent at medium range as well
Uhm watch my video on it? I explain exactly this.
Dumbass
Because if you have Berserker on, and get hurt, you will 1-shot even people with Bacta Bomb on close range
Will you ever do a how to not suck at dengar video?
Working on it right now.
+OTAKU GAMING good luck.
Can you do a how to not suck at cycler rifle?
^^
+D.S.P thx that rlly helped but i actually already knew that i just want to know if there r some things i didn't know but thanks anyways
Can you do a T-21 vs T-21B showdown thx
Maybe
I saw your shirt on idubbz's recent video
Yeah lol...
sensei whats your sensivity
I think sharpshooter Will work better for X-8 sniper because u Aim much while shooting and Will give you extra damage
Agreed, sharpshooter would be good, but this video was made before all the changes.
+OTAKU GAMING ok Thx for the update :)
When you don't you use sharpshooter with the X-8
Sharpshooter did not have the same effects as it currently has when the video got released.
This ^
OTAKU GAMING r u coming back to UA-cam??
Otaku how do you feel with the new mod escape artist?
Meh
OTAKU GAMING
well I dont like it seems a bit unfair and over powerd with bubble XD
yo otaku, do you use a mouse+keyboard? your aim is not controller-like at all
He uses ps4 controller
Duuuurrrrpppp
I know you're on PS4 but your aim is pretty amazing for a controller, looks like a mouse
Sometimes I only use this to spot campers at the edge of the map, so then once I see them I whip out the ol' pulse cannon and erm... Death happens,
Interesting strategy
Great Content..
Agreed
I saw you're shirt on Idubbz's video lmao
heh yeah
OTAKU GAMING Just a random question, are you Canadian?
DJ KEEMSTAR
Yes
OTAKU GAMING How often do you say "eh" and "you know"?
DJ KEEMSTAR
Often
thanks you help me be a total gangsta😎😎😎😎😎😎
Ahhhhh my good old X-8 I love accurate weapons (ee-3) l do like the dt-12, ESCAPE ARTIST IS OP
Random thoughts jumbled together in a comment.
5:12 "Expects a lot from you and gives very little in return." Sounds like my ex girlfriend
Sounds like every woman ever.
+OTAKU GAMING true. btw do you have a girl? guy? I don't judge
mandokomixkid I have a girl and a few side twi'leks.
+OTAKU GAMING lmaooo! keep making good videos
