    "What do you mean roleplay, this is who I am!" - It's really refreshing to stumble upon this channel where you're focusing on how to play well with the team, in different ways, rather than just trying to analyze or rank what the strongest items are. Keep it up!
    Nice showcase of the Laser Pointer which I think is overlooked because it's not the fastest TTK strat weapon. But like you I am a support player and its strengths make it almost unparalleled in that role, and how it complements the more popular weapons enables very flexible teamplay. It really shines at medium range with good positioning. High accuracy from a distance, strong against gunships, fast chaff clear, decent vs Devastators and Hulks with headshots, destroys Factory Strider chin guns, lets you snipe mortar and AA emplacements, and helps to conserve ammo for your primary. Affording the ability to grab an extra/dropped pack in the field is understated as well. It only feels truly weak against Berserker swarms, but using the Las Cannon as your main helps you run high-power/low-capacity primaries much easier meaning you'll have the rounds ready for those situations. I was relieved when the Las Cannon came out unscathed with the balance patch, it's always been my top pick on bots.

      SAME. It's been my go-to alongside the HMG for bot missions. It can do everything, maybe not as well as other weapons, but nothing (except for chainsaw arm dudes) can really pose a massive issue if positioning is right.

      It's excellent, but at the moment I'm having too much fun with my airburst rocket launcher-Eruptor loadout.
      I use the rocket sentry as a means to deal with the gunships and eagle airstrike-orbital strike to deal with the rest.
      Long story short: It's far from beeing optimal by any stretch of imagination, but it's a LOT of fun.
      What I was wondering if there's a better way to deal with the gunships? Maybe Commando or autocannon sentry?

    • @EncartaCDROMBoxset
      @EncartaCDROMBoxset Місяць тому +2

      @@etuanno I'm also an Airburst enjoyer! It can be really effective during extract! The rocket sentry is great and can take out gunships like you mentioned, but when there's a lot on the field the sometimes weird target prioritization of the turrets can be a pain point. If you haven't tried out the dual-HMG turret I would recommend that, it's solid in general and is very strong vs gunships.
      Edit: CommissarKai's previous video has the HMG turret as a key part of the loadout.

    retreating from a fight where you’re surrounded to ensure the enemy will have to follow you and approach you from the same direction honestly seems like such simple advice but for some reason i never would have thought of that. i’ve been binging some of your team play videos lately and i’ve been learning a lot of helpful tactics! thank you!

  • @theBoomerDoomer
    @theBoomerDoomer Місяць тому +6

    That "leading away" is precisely why I use sentries placed around objectives as a solo player... as soon as they drop, I immediately swing around behind the bots as they're drawn off the objective. I then quickly get in and out before they destroy the sentries and get back to cover before they notice me. In probably 150 hours of solo diving, this has worked almost every time.
    CommissarKai is a great tactician, and divers would be wise to heed his instruction here.

    Had the worst randoms squad yesterday. Found the radar tower and squad ran off to do main objective after getting bot drop called. But they all went to different objectives and they all kept dieing so i would reinforce them back to the radar tower to help me clear it but they would just drop in and run off. So finally i used my mic and asked why no one would stick around and help me and the answer i got was baffling: "its rude to reinforce someone away from an objective they were doing". So if your by yourself who is gonna revive you back where you were and second why wouldn't you prioritize the radar tower to know where all secondary objective and poi are was my response. But did that matter, no so for the rest of the match i didnt reinforce any because i didn't want to be rude. 🙄 Bad target and objective priorities make things go bad more often than not and is really bad for the whole squad

      The radar tower can sometimes be a one person objective. A lot of waiting around. But yeah it's situational and depends on the opposition.
      The only time I think it's a little rude to reinforce is when you've split off into teams of two - you want to let the split team reinforce themselves. A team of two has the ability to reinforce themselves so calling one away kind of ruins the resilience of the team of two and also stops them from opening vaults.
      Otherwise - if you die the consequences of that death are on you, not the guy that calls you in.

      @ryamundo42 Місяць тому +4

      This scenario sucks, but if you aren't equipped to clear an objective by yourself and your squad is refusing to help, your best option is to abandon it and stick with your squad, or at least, someone in your squad.
      It's frustrating, and often the wrong tactical choice, but you're typically better off trying to support a bad squad than you are trying to force an objective on your own.
      And sometimes, with a little luck and perseverance, bad teammates can be turned into good teammates if you make it clear with your actions that you're a great teammate.

    I am SO glad someone else combines the Gas and Eagle Air strikes. I don’t know how many people are aware that throwing the Gas Orbital on a bot outpost can trigger an explosion from the fire vents. Therefore blowing it up in a glorious fashion! 😊
    Eagle Air and Gas along with the rocket sentry are my standard load out on solo runs. Some squad runs too depending.
    Seriously y’all. Try the gas and eagle air strike combo if you don’t already. Just be aware and your mates to not get near the gas until it clears. It will take you out. I found out my first time using it! 😂

    This was amazing to see.

Gonna give the laser cannon a try.

  • @TheReykjavik
    @TheReykjavik Місяць тому +1

    You say being a good teammate isn't about getting the most kills, and that is generally true, but sometimes getting a lot of kills really helps the team. I would like to see you build around the idea that good bots aren't a threat to your team, and the only good bot is a dead bot. I recommend the diligence counter sniper for this, which is my favorite primary for bots, especially on open maps. It can one shot devastators in the head, has great range and fast bullet travel for hitting bots that try to call in reinforcements, and otherwise being able to hit priority targets to protect the team even if those targets are far away. I usually pair it with the autocannon, which handles the heavy targets, stun grenades, and peak physique armor to enable the primary and secondary weapons with faster aiming, then air strikes, precision strike, and a flex pick for the last stratagem, often walking barrage.

    • @andresmdp95
      @andresmdp95 Місяць тому

      I use the same. Verdict pistol is good too, fast reload and good dmg helps with small enemies and taking out fast those berserkers cqc when you dumped your diligence mag.
      Stratagems: Airstrike is always good + orbital gatling (takes out mobs, tanks or even factory striders and low cd), maybe rocket turret, mortar, or if you have unlocked the eagle fast rearm I use somet8mes Eagle atrafing run, you can take out turrets and all tanks long range !! 50 mt throw + 30m stratagem straight line range! And can be a good way to deal with front assault that cant be penetrated by autocannon shots.
      I dont like 380mm or those without Servoassisted armor

  • @TheThreadWeaver
    @TheThreadWeaver Місяць тому

    I like the build you’ve put up, and have been running something similar. It’s really helpful that you also give tactical breakdowns.
    One thing I’d like to suggest is the deployable shield as an alternative to the rocket sentry if the rest of the team is already sentry-heavy. I noticed my allies will rally to a shield if they see it go up, and with a decent uptime and short cooldown you have it for every other fight, or at least once per objective push. It’s also good for protecting someone on a terminal or safeguarding allied sentries. Give it a shot!
