A note to those who hate Rocket Mortars. Those of us who've played long enough remember when we didn't get a warning. You'd be standing around and then you'd be dead
And yet you can still have a lot if not most of your health depleted upon spawning into battle unless you instantly dash with killshot. This has happened to me loads and so there's an exploit going on. Your choice of mech shouldn't be forced like this. So much for warnings.

No they do actully use it but only Guardian and arachnos But these are rare chances, like when you have a lower squad power like 1k-1,6k or D5s and D2s As your squad power increases the less they appear. My 2nd hanger sp is around 1.6k and I have definitely seen rocket mortar bots but they only use RM8
A weapon for those who is too scared to fight hand to hand. Imo, you don't need to have a lot of skills to use motars. Just let you bots to detect the enemies and then shoot your motars. And repeat the process until the end of the timer. A REAL skillful act.. And for the developers. You guys are intentionally made these weapons op by not making enough covers in the maps. For how the heck a slow tank would be able to get away in time before the motars hit? Not to mention, your 'motars notification' is still broken.
Still broken, and for crying out loud REMOVE THE MORTAR RADIUS IMPLANT! It makes it so mortars are impossible to dodge, sometimes even with killshot or surge 🙄

Another weapons spotlight showing the devs don’t know what the hell they’re talking about and probably don’t play the game. The flight time of the rockets has been a lot less of a hindrance to rocket mortars users since the radius implants, more rocket mortars users now are camping at the far back of the map because they don’t need to take the risk and depend on the flight time. Secondly, people make up for the minimum radius weakness with a fast mech and/or implants and can just stick by a teammate with stun or stasis or system crash. Most maps don’t have a lot of roofs. This was an observation made before pilots. If you wanted to escape RM damage, you probably went up against a wall for the raised structure next to you to hopefully avoid the damage. Half those walls and roofs don’t work anymore. The doorways on two arches don’t work. The walls of tunnel of fate don’t work, you are forced through the tunnel now. The lower level raised platforms on hanging gardens that aren’t in the middle don’t even block max radius RMs. The only structures that block rocket mortars are on the flanks. And partial cover does not work. I mean you said that and you showed a panther get taken to red health while also saying the partial cover blocks most of the damage. That panther can be finished off by anything after that, most of the damage is evidently not enough damage blocked or you’re just wrong. You're just pretending there's risk involved in using it when there's actually virtually none it's a big indicator you dumb PR people don't even play the game you're going to have to clarify whether you do or don't and I'm going to need you to prove it if you want to say you do play the game.
Yea….l.l but that ain’t helping you get any closer. R mortar players usually hide in areas where you can’t get to.

Staying hidden keeps them from being exposed to other players mortar attacks. True it's hard to get behind enemy lines and kill them but it would be way easier if they lit up on the map every time they launched a mortar.
@@Ramitnr well trust me I’ve tried this and you right, it works. But only a few times. Arachnos or brick house aren’t fast and have very little to no defensive abilities. So it’ll work on them. But other mechs are either fast enough to dodge to hid from your own rocket mortars.
Hi . I think that these features should be in the game 1. When we reinstall the game it has a long procedure like tutorials etc. So there must be am option that if we need the tutorial or not . 2. Try to remove the spam in the world chat option that free acoins etc . 3. Please add the new mechs and weapons in the xp path Except this , the game is really fun to play
Yeah, we need more content in the Progress Path. If not, then the game is no longer F2P friendly, and become more of a P2W game. New mechs, weapons, and etc will make the F2Ps somewhat of a chance to survive P2W players. I dont care what the devs will reply to this request, bring something to the Progress Path, because it's not fair. "Oh well, we'll have upcoming events for new mechs and weapons, stay tuned!" they kept saying that but they never said only P2W can get it, because to get those new mechs and weapons, you'll need a lot of token events, and you usually only get one for free, and the rest will either you need to buy it with real money, or you complete missions to get it. Then again, you won't get those new contents because the percentage of getting it is always low. I thought, balance, F2P friendly, and listening to players is your job devs. Im disappointed, fix this game
I love these things!!!! I’m the guy everyone is talking about in the comments! I alternate my shots to maximize and spread out damage so I’m not hogging all the kills. It’s great for all maps except indoor (😒)
Increase the energy cost of the rocket mortar 12 to 16 and let the 10 be the new 12, that will go a long way in fixing the mortar problem. Mechs that move as fast as killshot or have stealth shouldn't be able to carry a pair of the heaviest artilery in the game, artilery should be big slow mechs only..
@@memeboi3448 agreed. And also all the pay to win people with max panthers and guardians would dominate every match with us having no chance to fight back
yeah but the game will be imbalanced this way because there will be an extreme weapon because its higher level so it has to get more power than others and obviously shadow,killshot and other cout scan carry them by taking just one of them or paring them with a rocket mortar 8
You can apply it on Panther because when an enemy comes close to you , you can freeze that enemy with statis barier and run a little bit farer from your enemy so that the rocket mortar can take down that enemy the enemy can't move because he/she is freezed
I see that everyone is complaining about the whole camping thing, the spam bot in the chat, the matchmaking and everything. Though, they are kind of right, let us not pretend like we don't see these in any other free online multi-player games. There is no rose without thorns. I just want to say that I really enjoy the game, I appreciate every single effort put into it. It has been one of the games that I had most fun while playing, honestly. And these videos are awesome too! I adore how enthusiastically they talk about some random weapons and big robots! Just amazing. Thank you, Plarium for this wonderful experience.
The game would definitely be better without mortors just imagine. No more campares hiding and bombing everyone and getting kills with absolutely zero effort. The bottom line this weapon is completely unfair. The game would be better without em hands down.
It should have min range much further - no chance to get close enough. And also... Nerf the radius DMG, it's just totally unplayable with two ennemies just spam that button, one shot everyone even if you run towards them. Shortly, Nerf it or ban it... This need huge rework (or nerf implants that make it even bigger problem) Personally, I like how Artillery works in Tankionline... You aim vertically and press a button for power to a shot, then it has a trajectory that depends on power of a shot and angle of it... So much of a skill to shot with them.
You should make a tournament without rocket mortars so those People like me that don't like standing in 1 spot. And Actually come out of spawn. It takes a lot of talent to use rocket motors let me tell you.
To be fair on the fact of rocket mortars being the only artillery weapon, what else would they put in that category? A nuke? Actually that would be pretty neat
No it would not. It’ll probably make the game worse. Like imagine a weapon that doesn’t need direct line of sight, have a huge splash radius, and deal insane damage. Which is basically the RM but even for OP and broken
Not fire. HELL. trust me when I say. The moment you see another RM user. Target him no matter WHAT. if not he’ll ruin your match. He will just rain hellfire onto the battle field from a corner and there would be nothing you could to unless you kill him in the first few seconds.
I have a story to tell. Yesterday I was a kill shot and playing 5v5 death match and I saw a guardian with RMs and probably wasted his system crash and than I straight up dash between the enemy team and straight to and I kept dashing in to him cause I had javs 6 and killed him. I was on low health so I got killed by an MD with AUTOCANNONS!
My favorite maps with mortars are site 313 where the center is completely wide open for mortars with absolutely nowhere to hide. Hiding spots are just the two roofs on the left and right of your spawn spots and directly behind your spawn spot where there’s also a roof. Then you have the mech arena map which is absolutely wide open with literally no spot to hide from mortars. However there are some hiding spots where your enemy won’t see you and so not the mortars either. And it’s also a little easier to sneak up on the mortars with killshots. Then there’s that one 5v5 map (where there’s flanks on either side and two arches) that was shown where it’s brutal close combat fighting. It’s anther excellent map for mortars.
Players only get notified that artillery is coming if you were the one targeted. There are so many instances where you get killed and won't get notified. PLEASE NERF THE WEAPON!!!
That's because a skilled pilot will wait until the last second to target an enemy. This gives the targeted player no prior warning. If you look at someone the entire time they'll know it's coming, so watch the minimal, look for a group then look up and target someone!
Just straight delete it, it just breaks the brawling rhythm of the whole game and it feels like a cheap and gratuite death. Even when you play it, it’s not even fun because all you do is wait in 5e backline for the weapon to reload over and over again
The game needs more urgent improvement then mortar spam..but yeah the aiming should be on the map not on a mech or rather have pilots & implants improve hp rather then dmg, the tanks need at least 50% more hp, clear difference between classes not just add new mechs with same hp but everything else better 🤣 You earn more then enough, rework/replace the progress path so everything is available for f2p, even opens up the market more 😉 Rebalance ai bots by removing legendary implants from them, zephyr stun range etc they can even get a buff after that, but 40m stuns PLUS 100% hitchance instantly on the player when spotted is a bit much dont you think?
I thought originally, the rocket mortars would work by firing on the map... and I was slightly disappointed when I found they targeted on the mechs themselves.
They really need to rebalance them Either increase the short range that they can’t use them when enemy mechs get close Or decrease their effective range
I was expecting for you guys to make another artillery weapon but i think that it would be op if ur hangar is full of mechs loaded with artillery weapons Great video even if its the shortest one yet
Artillery plus javelin rack on an arachnos gives you fighting capabilities on all three levels with your turret for short range. Javelin for mid and artillery for long. One of the best combos out there
Yes, but only really something you schould do if have a 16 arachnos and RM12, then you can use the jav4 against those that survived with small amounts of hp
I like the rocket motor but with it being the only category in Artillery with some mech objectives being "use Artillery to do damage/kills". I feel like there should be another weapon like a pool splash where when it land at the enemies location, it doesn't do damage on initial impact but leaves a puddle behind that gives that chemical debuff where it slows down and damages over time for all in the puddle aoe.
Can u please repalay . When will be the aegis craterush come again or not . Or directley added to the inventory by progress path . I am asking because i dot get him by a coin spinning crate rush . And is there any new aritillery weapons chance for coming
I typically use one mortar on my arachnos with a missle rack for defense. I dont camp (cause i mean whats the point of have a giant mech of i just sit around and blow stuff up. MOOVE around and blow stuff up) i use my RMs f0r enemies further away.missle rack is good too. And, i can strategically place myself according to where my enemies are. I dont think mortars should be removed but slightly nerfed. It should be able to take weaker mechs out but not the tuffer ones. Also i would like to see another artillery weapon out. Keep up the good work! - MadMech19
this is a bad advice because all of the apper thin weak mechs are the fastest ones capable of hidding from most guided or missile based weapons just as they get fired, long range weapons like this should serve the role of forcing a mech out
Panther-high energy capacity in less acoins, barier which can slow the enemy let you run or you can run due to the high speed of panther and shoot motors on the enemy which is under stasis effect
How upgraded would you sayRocket motors have to be for them to be good because I have them on level three tier one and they’re not that good so I want to know how much they need to be
You must be using RM 8. Use higher RMs like 10 or 12. It’ll be better. But it’ll make you a HUGE HUGE BIG FAT GINORMOUS target. As they’re so OP at that point
Problem with me is that my Rocket Mortar 8 barely hits anything when my enemy escapes and only does massive damage at MAX RANK! So it's pretty much useless along with its 15 second cooldown in a 2 minute Deathmatch!
Well, you can just switch your Rocket Mortar 8's to Rocket Mortar 12. It has more missiles, blast radius, and more damage. Even one Rocket Mortar 12 that is paired on a mech can do much damage
@@darealpony5 One problem, you want to pick one level of a weapon to save your currency of credits and A-coins so, yeah I did just that and saving up for a Carbine 12!
I'd say the Main problem about RMs that makes it unbalanced is that you can't even fight back to the Mortars. If t they're hiding at the opposite side kf the map covered by teammates, it not only becomes impossible to destroy the mortar in close combat, but even getting close enough to protect yourself from artillery fire. And the damage it deals is just nonsensical - fully maxed Juggernaut with full HP and Shield turned On gets melted in the blink of eye from two RMs 12. A game can't call itself "balanced" while it has an one-punch weapon that not only allows you to blow up the whole enemy squad by a single button press, but also keeps you totally safe from returning fire. And the best solution I can ever came up with is "self-revealing" to the enemy radars once you fire from a Rocket Mortar, so that it becomes possible to fight back using the same same method.
I think Rocket Mortars are cheating. There is often no way to evade them. . For a weapon that does not need line of sight, a pair should not be able to take out a similarly leveled mechs.
Yea. Also all the mortar users are absolute scaredy-cats. They just hide in the same corner on every map and never leave. With with the bots’ targeting systems it’s almost impossible to kill a mortar player before you get absolutely shredded by the BOTS
@@graciezhao6477 it's not that their scaredy-cats, it's that mortars in general are an unfair weapon that just completely cancels out all other strategy or planning from the opposing team. I would suggest that the mortar travel time/to distance ratio increases significantly! So that the mechs can have opportunities to evade, rather than getting oneshotted.
Mortars should have stopped at 8 not 8 being the smallest. What’s next the Shotgun 10 and 12 come on nerf the hell out of the mortars or double their reload time so can only fire a few volleys a match like 30 seconds or maybe more
Όσο στα τουρνουά αφήνεται κ μπαίνουν παίχτες με mortar χάνεται όλη η ουσία του παιχνιδιού close combat κ όσο βγαζεται συνέχεια όπλα όπως τα hellix τα οποία δίνουν την δυνατότητα στον άλλο να κάθεται πίσω κ απλά να βαράει καταστρέφεται όλο την ουσία του παιχνιδιού κάντε κάτι για αυτό κ αφήστε συνέχεια να βγαζεται όπλα κ mechs με άχρηστα abilities απλά κ μόνο για το χρηματικό κίνητρο με εκτίμηση!
Killshot: -perfect energy capacity for Best rocket morter (rocket mortar 12) -dash back If enemy's get close, dash to Dodge enemy artillery, dash to kill squishy targets that get close
I have an idea for a new epic artillery weapon: Lightning cannon. It charges like stasis beams, but slower than beams and faster than railgun. If fires up and then lands 2 seconds later, and it alerts people like rocket mortars. When it lands it has an aoe of 10m as base, which can be upgraded with implants. Anyone who doesn't die gets an emp effect for 1 seconds. Less damage than rm but has its own uses. And I can target stuff like Aegis dome shield and panther stasis barrier and when those things are in the aoe they are disabled, like system crash.
I love mortars, but hell jts complicated, how to use mortar? Pick enemy -> see map -> calculate -> more calculation -> doubt -> pray -> pray even more -> fire.
Add something like Cluster charge A bullet impacting the ground will scatter the damage 10,14,16 10 for one ammo 14 for two ammo 16 for three ammo and legendary type weapon Has faster travel and need time to Blow up
Not to mention, 9/10, in the very unlikely scenario you make it to the RM launcher, a bot will spawn and kill you right in time!!! The "TOURNAMENTS" are literally ONLY RMs,, except one map... ONE! so arc torrents come out. That's it. You e beat mech arena. Find another game. These wretches know it's not fair. Or, don't listen, waste your time and money, get to 3k+ hangar power and see for yourself what this game becomes. After all, you've already spent to realize all the crap I just said is true. Just play like a sheep, not like person, and you'll love this for a week or 2. Then you'll try something else and realize there IS nothing else. Except the NEXT BEST THING, PLARIUM is going to rip you off in the token event for, then charge too much for and you're still gonna lose miserably to the dual RM 12. Trash
zephyr,surge and panther are best mechs for mortars because surge and zephyr can emp the enemies and run away while panther slow them down with the stasis barrier and also lock their attacks
Now can we just say that slingshot and killshot when maxed can hold the heaviest mortars making a perfect mortar mech,paragon is already the perfect mortarist, especially if we get mortar 16s. If that dreaded day ever pops around the corner
Some use RM's cuz they are too scared to fight face to face. I use RM's cuz I'm too lazy to play strategically 😪. We are not the same !! (As I'm a student I don't have much time for gaming... And when I do, I just farm some wins without any stress only for those free rewards... Meh)
its not even fun when your using it. You sit behind a wall, look at obscured red boxes, hit the fire button and then count to 15. theres no counterplay involved atm.
@@genxlibertarian9656 yea I agree. Also 1/3s of RM users are forced to use them. Due to the fact that it’s the meta now. And as all games have shown,’ if you don’t follow the meta you’ll get destroyed’
@@genxlibertarian9656 true but I mean at least you get to kill some people. If it ain't fun for the user then try other things. Oh wait you can't because artillery is almost like the meta.

True it's hard to get behind enemy lines and kill them but it would be way easier if they lit up on the map every time they launched a mortar.
@@Ramitnr well trust me I’ve tried this and you right, it works. But only a few times. Arachnos or brick house aren’t fast and have very little to no defensive abilities. So it’ll work on them. But other mechs are either fast enough to dodge to hid from your own rocket mortars.
Hi .
I think that these features should be in the game
1. When we reinstall the game it has a long procedure like tutorials etc. So there must be am option that if we need the tutorial or not .
2. Try to remove the spam in the world chat option that free acoins etc .
3. Please add the new mechs and weapons in the xp path
Except this , the game is really fun to play
Yeah, we need more content in the Progress Path. If not, then the game is no longer F2P friendly, and become more of a P2W game. New mechs, weapons, and etc will make the F2Ps somewhat of a chance to survive P2W players. I dont care what the devs will reply to this request, bring something to the Progress Path, because it's not fair. "Oh well, we'll have upcoming events for new mechs and weapons, stay tuned!" they kept saying that but they never said only P2W can get it, because to get those new mechs and weapons, you'll need a lot of token events, and you usually only get one for free, and the rest will either you need to buy it with real money, or you complete missions to get it. Then again, you won't get those new contents because the percentage of getting it is always low. I thought, balance, F2P friendly, and listening to players is your job devs. Im disappointed, fix this game
@@m.rabbani9353 very very true
No , imporatant battle system
@@m.rabbani9353 all true( yes I read all of your writing) and also REMOVE ROCKET MORTARS COMPLETELY
I love the hosts ,their positive energy and the way they simplify every weapon or mech . Great job
You obviously don't play the game
I had been looking for this video and it came out right as i made breakfast
I love these things!!!! I’m the guy everyone is talking about in the comments! I alternate my shots to maximize and spread out damage so I’m not hogging all the kills. It’s great for all maps except indoor (😒)
I use rocket mortar 12 and stasis beam 16 on guardian, it's pretty good because they can't run away or can't come any closer than 45m
Are you going to make replacement for a coins just like credits when you buy sth?
Increase the energy cost of the rocket mortar 12 to 16 and let the 10 be the new 12, that will go a long way in fixing the mortar problem. Mechs that move as fast as killshot or have stealth shouldn't be able to carry a pair of the heaviest artilery in the game, artilery should be big slow mechs only..
But knowing them they will buff the them to the point that those of us who actually play skillfully will leave the game
@@memeboi3448 agreed. And also all the pay to win people with max panthers and guardians would dominate every match with us having no chance to fight back
yeah but the game will be imbalanced this way because there will be an extreme weapon because its higher level so it has to get more power than others and obviously shadow,killshot and other cout scan carry them by taking just one of them or paring them with a rocket mortar 8
yeah
You can apply it on Panther because when an enemy comes close to you , you can freeze that enemy with statis barier and run a little bit farer from your enemy so that the rocket mortar can take down that enemy the enemy can't move because he/she is freezed
Bought this unintentionally (thought it was something else), threw a game, watched this video, carried 4 games! Best weapon earlygame!
I see that everyone is complaining about the whole camping thing, the spam bot in the chat, the matchmaking and everything. Though, they are kind of right, let us not pretend like we don't see these in any other free online multi-player games. There is no rose without thorns.
I just want to say that I really enjoy the game, I appreciate every single effort put into it. It has been one of the games that I had most fun while playing, honestly. And these videos are awesome too!
I adore how enthusiastically they talk about some random weapons and big robots! Just amazing.
Thank you, Plarium for this wonderful experience.
This weapon is a pain in 5e ass and it’s so common that I’ve been entire matches just hunting aracnos using this weapon in specific
I always use rocket mortar 8 and 12 in mech Arena game as a player it is very useful for me and I like this video
The game would definitely be better without mortors just imagine. No more campares hiding and bombing everyone and getting kills with absolutely zero effort. The bottom line this weapon is completely unfair. The game would be better without em hands down.
Only when you don’t have it if you do you will get mvp multiple times GREAT DAMAGE I TELL YOU and it’s super easy to hide
@@anlex102 bruh………
@@anlex102 that why it’s so bad. No one likes a meta where you just hide under cover like a rat. That’s the reason war robots isn’t so popular now..
yeah, i think you forgot about the EM-rifles and orion...
It should have min range much further - no chance to get close enough. And also... Nerf the radius DMG, it's just totally unplayable with two ennemies just spam that button, one shot everyone even if you run towards them.
Shortly, Nerf it or ban it... This need huge rework (or nerf implants that make it even bigger problem)
Personally, I like how Artillery works in Tankionline... You aim vertically and press a button for power to a shot, then it has a trajectory that depends on power of a shot and angle of it... So much of a skill to shot with them.
Go cry to your mama 🤣
Tankionline now that is a name I haven’t heard in a long time. Oof brings back the memories lol
You should make a tournament without rocket mortars so those People like me that don't like standing in 1 spot. And Actually come out of spawn. It takes a lot of talent to use rocket motors let me tell you.
Just take them out completely.
true but you are usually gonna get some kills like really easily. maps like two arches are really perfect for mortars
At 1:56, you can see the pilot Helmut on the opponent's mech which is legendary pilot for missile damage
It might the brand new pilot Diesel!
so, when are they getting a nerf? Or removed? that works too just PLEASE balance out the gameplay
If I see any enemy using mortars, I will hunt them down relentlessly...
Don't be that enemy...
To be fair on the fact of rocket mortars being the only artillery weapon, what else would they put in that category? A nuke? Actually that would be pretty neat
No it would not. It’ll probably make the game worse. Like imagine a weapon that doesn’t need direct line of sight, have a huge splash radius, and deal insane damage. Which is basically the RM but even for OP and broken
Those pesky killshots and irresponsible teammates are the best counter for this.
Hello plarium is this normal that the weapons or mech is to expensive?
*too
Yup it's pay to win
My son absolutely loves this game and your channel on you tube. Thank You ❤
I haven't got mortars yet and that was very useful. But the sound it makes when it fires the rockets is just... FIRE!!!
Not fire. HELL. trust me when I say. The moment you see another RM user. Target him no matter WHAT. if not he’ll ruin your match. He will just rain hellfire onto the battle field from a corner and there would be nothing you could to unless you kill him in the first few seconds.
I have a story to tell. Yesterday I was a kill shot and playing 5v5 death match and I saw a guardian with RMs and probably wasted his system crash and than I straight up dash between the enemy team and straight to and I kept dashing in to him cause I had javs 6 and killed him. I was on low health so I got killed by an MD with AUTOCANNONS!
My favorite maps with mortars are site 313 where the center is completely wide open for mortars with absolutely nowhere to hide. Hiding spots are just the two roofs on the left and right of your spawn spots and directly behind your spawn spot where there’s also a roof. Then you have the mech arena map which is absolutely wide open with literally no spot to hide from mortars. However there are some hiding spots where your enemy won’t see you and so not the mortars either. And it’s also a little easier to sneak up on the mortars with killshots. Then there’s that one 5v5 map (where there’s flanks on either side and two arches) that was shown where it’s brutal close combat fighting. It’s anther excellent map for mortars.
Players only get notified that artillery is coming if you were the one targeted. There are so many instances where you get killed and won't get notified. PLEASE NERF THE WEAPON!!!
Bruh why not just delete them. No matter how you nerf them the players will find a way to make them strong again. Either pilots or implants.
That's because a skilled pilot will wait until the last second to target an enemy. This gives the targeted player no prior warning. If you look at someone the entire time they'll know it's coming, so watch the minimal, look for a group then look up and target someone!
Just straight delete it, it just breaks the brawling rhythm of the whole game and it feels like a cheap and gratuite death. Even when you play it, it’s not even fun because all you do is wait in 5e backline for the weapon to reload over and over again
dude, they need a buff, what are you talking about?
Any battle if the opponent uses this weapon, it will be a fucking boring battle and no fun at all when you want us to have fun
The game needs more urgent improvement then mortar spam..but yeah the aiming should be on the map not on a mech or rather have pilots & implants improve hp rather then dmg, the tanks need at least 50% more hp, clear difference between classes not just add new mechs with same hp but everything else better 🤣
You earn more then enough, rework/replace the progress path so everything is available for f2p, even opens up the market more 😉
Rebalance ai bots by removing legendary implants from them, zephyr stun range etc they can even get a buff after that, but 40m stuns PLUS 100% hitchance instantly on the player when spotted is a bit much dont you think?
I thought originally, the rocket mortars would work by firing on the map... and I was slightly disappointed when I found they targeted on the mechs themselves.
They really need to rebalance them
Either increase the short range that they can’t use them when enemy mechs get close
Or decrease their effective range
Or just flat out cut at least 25% of the dmg
I was expecting for you guys to make another artillery weapon but i think that it would be op if ur hangar is full of mechs loaded with artillery weapons
Great video even if its the shortest one yet
Rocket Mortars are very nice and sweet. Pls bring the new artillery weapon faster so we can use
Artillery plus javelin rack on an arachnos gives you fighting capabilities on all three levels with your turret for short range. Javelin for mid and artillery for long. One of the best combos out there
Yes, but only really something you schould do if have a 16 arachnos and RM12, then you can use the jav4 against those that survived with small amounts of hp
And turret is really weak .
@@danielgalaxy712 true. The turret is weak but the turret plus a jav4 has gotten me out of a pinch many many times
Turret badly needs a buff, it's one of the worst abilities in the entire game
Sounds like brick house stalker and blockhorn’s dream
I like the rocket motor but with it being the only category in Artillery with some mech objectives being "use Artillery to do damage/kills". I feel like there should be another weapon like a pool splash where when it land at the enemies location, it doesn't do damage on initial impact but leaves a puddle behind that gives that chemical debuff where it slows down and damages over time for all in the puddle aoe.
Mostly pple use mortors on panther and guardian at late end game u can use killshot or stalker best options
Brick house is also good. Killshot is probably best but I wouldn’t use him unless I get a surge.
kilshot,stalkers and brickhouse suits the best for mortars
Can u please repalay . When will be the aegis craterush come again or not . Or directley added to the inventory by progress path . I am asking because i dot get him by a coin spinning crate rush . And is there any new aritillery weapons chance for coming
Are you ever going to put a trading station like credits for acoins?
Katakuri is in one piece he have Dough. Powers plus he have instincts is you see to the future
I typically use one mortar on my arachnos with a missle rack for defense. I dont camp (cause i mean whats the point of have a giant mech of i just sit around and blow stuff up. MOOVE around and blow stuff up) i use my RMs f0r enemies further away.missle rack is good too. And, i can strategically place myself according to where my enemies are. I dont think mortars should be removed but slightly nerfed. It should be able to take weaker mechs out but not the tuffer ones. Also i would like to see another artillery weapon out. Keep up the good work!
- MadMech19
*release mortar 16*
this is a bad advice because all of the apper thin weak mechs are the fastest ones capable of hidding from most guided or missile based weapons just as they get fired, long range weapons like this should serve the role of forcing a mech out
which are the best weapons for paragon, lancer, killshot and ares
I have a question? Are javelin 8s just guided artillery.
Yo nice video keep up the good work
Thank you for your kind words! 🥰
I think that's the mech weapon which was effective but now it wasn't and it can be worse, if there's a new artillery mech weapons, it would be better.
When will you add stalker ?
When will stalker mech would return for free?
Paragons + rocket motor + shotgun. My best combo . It make artilary a lot more flexible with the paragon ability
Panther-high energy capacity in less acoins, barier which can slow the enemy let you run or you can run due to the high speed of panther and shoot motors on the enemy which is under stasis effect
How upgraded would you sayRocket motors have to be for them to be good because I have them on level three tier one and they’re not that good so I want to know how much they need to be
You must be using RM 8. Use higher RMs like 10 or 12. It’ll be better. But it’ll make you a HUGE HUGE BIG FAT GINORMOUS target. As they’re so OP at that point
Why can’t I use 2 x 12 Rockets Mortars ?? Dont understand how to get both same instead of a 10 + 12 ?!?
Problem with me is that my Rocket Mortar 8 barely hits anything when my enemy escapes and only does massive damage at MAX RANK! So it's pretty much useless along with its 15 second cooldown in a 2 minute Deathmatch!
Well, you can just switch your Rocket Mortar 8's to Rocket Mortar 12. It has more missiles, blast radius, and more damage. Even one Rocket Mortar 12 that is paired on a mech can do much damage
@@darealpony5 One problem, you want to pick one level of a weapon to save your currency of credits and A-coins so, yeah I did just that and saving up for a Carbine 12!
Its great that your saving up for Carbine 12@@leafy4755 ,but i think you need to get the Rocket Mortar 12 besides its more cheaper than the Carbines
please can you make a video about the railgun alone, i dont understand its charge and ammo stuff, im pretty sure the rest of us here dont as well
I'd say the Main problem about RMs that makes it unbalanced is that you can't even fight back to the Mortars. If t
they're hiding at the opposite side kf the map covered by teammates, it not only becomes impossible to destroy the mortar in close combat, but even getting close enough to protect yourself from artillery fire. And the damage it deals is just nonsensical - fully maxed Juggernaut with full HP and Shield turned On gets melted in the blink of eye from two RMs 12. A game can't call itself "balanced" while it has an one-punch weapon that not only allows you to blow up the whole enemy squad by a single button press, but also keeps you totally safe from returning fire.
And the best solution I can ever came up with is "self-revealing" to the enemy radars once you fire from a Rocket Mortar, so that it becomes possible to fight back using the same same method.
Can you change the price for the missed rack 8 or 6
I think Rocket Mortars are cheating.
There is often no way to evade them. .
For a weapon that does not need line of sight, a pair should not be able to take out a similarly leveled mechs.
Yea. Also all the mortar users are absolute scaredy-cats. They just hide in the same corner on every map and never leave. With with the bots’ targeting systems it’s almost impossible to kill a mortar player before you get absolutely shredded by the BOTS
@@graciezhao6477 it's not that their scaredy-cats, it's that mortars in general are an unfair weapon that just completely cancels out all other strategy or planning from the opposing team. I would suggest that the mortar travel time/to distance ratio increases significantly! So that the mechs can have opportunities to evade, rather than getting oneshotted.
@@tsrmmercy836 but implants makes it almost impossible to dodge.
@@graciezhao6477 That's why we should advocate for the removal of such implants.
Ah Yes Here we have two people complaining about how Life is Unfair. you should go out and see the real world. to see how unfair it is.
Hey guys there is a new Cryo Launcher!
Hmm what is the best combine mech?
At 1:16 what was that pilot there?
Mortars should have stopped at 8 not 8 being the smallest. What’s next the Shotgun 10 and 12 come on nerf the hell out of the mortars or double their reload time so can only fire a few volleys a match like 30 seconds or maybe more
Redox is a great idea
Hilariously, ridiculously overpowered.
Sometimes the notification does not appear for incoming shells, so pls try to fix that.
Όσο στα τουρνουά αφήνεται κ μπαίνουν παίχτες με mortar χάνεται όλη η ουσία του παιχνιδιού close combat κ όσο βγαζεται συνέχεια όπλα όπως τα hellix τα οποία δίνουν την δυνατότητα στον άλλο να κάθεται πίσω κ απλά να βαράει καταστρέφεται όλο την ουσία του παιχνιδιού κάντε κάτι για αυτό κ αφήστε συνέχεια να βγαζεται όπλα κ mechs με άχρηστα abilities απλά κ μόνο για το χρηματικό κίνητρο με εκτίμηση!

Video was amazing btw
Happy 1ST ANNIVERSARY for Mech Arena !!
👏👏👏
Thank you! 🤗
@@MechArenaOfficial you're welcome
😄😄
I like to use arachnos with it it may be slow but it is a strong build 😉
Let me know if you whatever use this kind of build or if this helped you 😁
Killshot:
-perfect energy capacity for Best rocket morter (rocket mortar 12)
-dash back If enemy's get close,
dash to Dodge enemy artillery,
dash to kill squishy targets that get close
I have an idea for a new epic artillery weapon: Lightning cannon. It charges like stasis beams, but slower than beams and faster than railgun. If fires up and then lands 2 seconds later, and it alerts people like rocket mortars. When it lands it has an aoe of 10m as base, which can be upgraded with implants. Anyone who doesn't die gets an emp effect for 1 seconds. Less damage than rm but has its own uses. And I can target stuff like Aegis dome shield and panther stasis barrier and when those things are in the aoe they are disabled, like system crash.
Bro really wanna make everyone quit the game with this weapon 💀
Can you do one on EM Rifles?
I us dabble 12s a lot. Love them on most maps.
If you are a total coward, and have zero skills, this is the weapon for you!
I love mortars, but hell jts complicated, how to use mortar?
Pick enemy -> see map -> calculate -> more calculation -> doubt -> pray -> pray even more -> fire.
What a coincidence, today's my birthday and Plarium gifted me with another Weapon Spotlight that i love the most to see!!!
Bruh
Thanks for video, but you forget about example's Mech's for Rocket Mortars
i pair them with stalker
I use paragon with rocket motars for shot alignment and escaping enemies
Add something like Cluster charge
A bullet impacting the ground will
scatter the damage
10,14,16
10 for one ammo
14 for two ammo
16 for three ammo
and legendary type weapon
Has faster travel and need time to
Blow up
Estas loco ojalá no hagan eso estaría muy roto
@@XD-kr4fz it would be hard to get
Stalker+roketmortar 12 is op
Not to mention, 9/10, in the very unlikely scenario you make it to the RM launcher, a bot will spawn and kill you right in time!!! The "TOURNAMENTS" are literally ONLY RMs,, except one map... ONE! so arc torrents come out. That's it. You e beat mech arena. Find another game. These wretches know it's not fair. Or, don't listen, waste your time and money, get to 3k+ hangar power and see for yourself what this game becomes. After all, you've already spent to realize all the crap I just said is true. Just play like a sheep, not like person, and you'll love this for a week or 2. Then you'll try something else and realize there IS nothing else. Except the NEXT BEST THING, PLARIUM is going to rip you off in the token event for, then charge too much for and you're still gonna lose miserably to the dual RM 12. Trash
I think I use killshot or brick house
You should make the reload time longer to balance out the damage and range
Is it better than Javelin Rack?
zephyr,surge and panther are best mechs for mortars because surge and zephyr can emp the enemies and run away while panther slow them down with the stasis barrier and also lock their attacks
Now can we just say that slingshot and killshot when maxed can hold the heaviest mortars making a perfect mortar mech,paragon is already the perfect mortarist, especially if we get mortar 16s. If that dreaded day ever pops around the corner
1:57 does that bot have a new pilot?
The bot named origimalg
Some use RM's cuz they are too scared to fight face to face.
