The one thing I am taking away from this video is how the grapple boost work, and that maybe I should try more charge gauntlet instead of thunder gauntlet.
Thunder gauntlet has ease of use, in exchange for bad survivability. As long as you aren't charging into certain death or on e8 it really isn't a bad option.
@@JesusChrimstThunder Gauntlet and Thunderslam make Loader's burst damage much more reactive and flexible, in exchange for Charges Gauntlet's range and piercing, and the Pylon's many use cases. I've killed single elite/boss enemies MUCH faster using her alternate utility myself.
Bro this video is insanely well-made. I really like Loader but I always felt like I was playing her wrong. This guide answered so many of my questions.
The three things I've learned is just how little the movement items matter for the Heavy affix, the grapple boost and the usefulness of the pylon. Thanks for this video.
I just started playing this game a month ago and fell in love with Loader and Artficer. I’ll definitely be looking to add these skills to my next game session.
I've been avoiding doing my loader eclipse climb for some time cause I didn't realize how the grapple boost worked, and I am so happy about this video, thank you!
I’m happy I started playing and watching the gauntlet races at the same time so I never became a full fans loader but this guide helps even more. Console might mess with things a bit but learning these will help a bunch
man, seeing everything that I learned through out playing Loader in a simple to understand video is so fascinating, there are so many things that we learn and take for granted at the time without realizing that it's actually a huge deal and many people may not know about it. Even the small details can make or break your speed and to know that I knew all of that, but would fail to teach because it is all instinctual is so weirdly fascinating, amazing video
Another thing I love about the slam is if you're tethered already, you can also "bob" for damage. If you're high enough, it can also give a bit of length to your tether, similar to either punch @ 4:14 .
Little tip RE the items, a couple of wax quails and a harpoon can, in my experience, seriously boost your charge gauntlet damage. You're sprinting while charging anyway, so jumping right as you release the punch gives you acceleration from the wax quail, and if you make sure there's at least one enemy you can one-shot between you and your actual target you'll get the harpoon boost mid-punch. I haven't got any hard digits on it, but I definitely feel more powerful with that combo than without. I only know what I've picked up from playing, so I didn't about the finer points of grapple-based techs, so I'd love to see if adding a wax quail right before some of them boosts yours speed at all.
The quail one is definitely a good tip, it seriously boosts heavy damage. But the punch's heavy damage is decided on release, so harpoon actually doesn't affect it unfortunately
proud to say I at least had the basics down before this video. Personally ctrl is the easiest key to press on my keyboard in any situation because of rocket jumping muscle memory, and I prefer slam because it works better with big flashy teleporter boss instant kill setups, but other than that I've been doing basically all of these
I always knew that the pylon could be grappled, but I just thought of it as something you could place down if you needed a grapple point in a specific position.
man, i really like the slam, even if it's not as versatile as the pylon, it's very satisfying to use and it's really fun "roleplay" as a tactical nuke falling from the sky at 3000m/s smashing anything unfortunate enough to be down there, like some sort of "hulk spiderman" fusion XD. so i guess i'll trade utility for cool factor here, although the pylon still looks like a lot of fun to use for cool mobility tricks. and sorry for my english and still i THANK you so much for this video it'll assist to improve my skills with loader and I'll definelly practice and use lot's of tre strats and techiniques you showed in your video m8
I found holding shift and control together anoying, which is why I always preferred thunder gauntlet, but I'll give it a try again after rebinding, thanks for the tip.
Hey Cap! I don't know if you'll see this but you raided my stream today while I was playing RoR2 and I just wanted to say thank you! I've watched your content before but I had no idea it was you raiding me! You rock man, I really appreciated it.
Personally I'm a fan of comboing thunder punch with thunder slam, it allows me to basically non-stop bombard enemies with strong attacks by slamming, grappling into a punch, then by the time that's done slam is almost back, and the cycle repeats. I also honestly enjoy having to work my movement around this, as weird as that might seem. I treat the punch as a short mid-air dash rather than a long-range boost, and my slam as an airbreak. It forces me not to rely so heavily on any one ability.
i have 1k hours on loader, and i probably subconciously knew cuz i would aim at where i wanted to go, but ive never actually KNOWN about grapple boost, i just knew that where i looked affected the grapple
Loader movement on console is still very achievable. The biggest hurdle is using a controller, which is possible, but does hurt your fingers after a while.
i think the absurdity of loader gets shown off with artifact of command i run spiked grapple, thunder gauntlet and the pylon additionally, stack back-up mags and focus on making sure the punch is *always* available here's where the fun begins find a huge target, grapple into them and punch you bounce back, allowing you to grapple and punch again- rinse and repeat it's not the best playstyle, but it's so fun turning loader into a paddle ball
As a redemption for slam, it can be properly combined with punch to control how far your charge fist sends your after hitting your enemy, as well as being an extra big damage attack you can cancel out of charge gauntlet. Alternatively, it is useful to stagger with punch as a strong ability to suplement when you have to take out some extra enemies after a punch and dont wanna get close (blazing elites are an example). Obviously this doesnt mean slam is better, GEARBOX GIVE ME HEAVY ON THUNDERSLAM AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!! But they both have their uses.
I just recently got Ror2 and if any character in any game ever was made specifically for me, its loader. Years of titanfall 2 and Overwatch Doomfist lead to this character. I lot of this stuff already feels very intuitive to me but this video is amazing nonetheless.
May i ask which mod shows the little green arrows when you grapple? (( I assume they like show you when your grapple boost is active?) which would help me a lot if thats the case
Oh you don’t need to tell me I’m playing her wrong, It took all of sacrifice, command and swarms just to obliterate in monsoon and it took me 9 tries and replacing everything but the grappling hook with heretic lunars just to do it. This character is Greek to me
what keys do i hold when grappling? just w, or do i strafe too?
Get a feel for strafing as well. That's actually something important to keep in mind as well. Good question!
the larva loader fucks me up bro lmao
lil guy stole the mech suit
@Cap_ what mods did did you use?

Grapple Boosts are probably the best takeaway to have from the vid. Very helpful in every part of your run. Goodluck o7

I really like the captain diablo strike skip
ALWAYS USE YOUR GRAPPLE BOOSTS
no
i can't believe i didnt think of rebinding sprint, thats huge
i rebound both sprint and utility, sprint is shift while utility is m4
I rebound sprint to one of the side buttons on my mouse, my gameplay improved pretty much instantly
just download the mod for autosprint
Thats rough, its the first this i ever did in this game. Can’t imagine life without it
How dare you change your sprint button. i NOW play every game with ctrl to sprint
I feel like I get to be a Cap_ OG. which makes me happy because I always learn stuff I never knew existed from vids like these

Some of the highest quality ror2 content in recent time. Wonderful
i never mean to learn loader, but this video was so entertaining to understand how the racer bois go so fast, top notch content
Amazing edited video with beautiful modded background video! Congrats on making it big :)
this was a great video format, diving into advanced stuff like the pogo which i had seen but never grasped is very useful
This video is SO well made. When I saw you were not a huge channel, I was blown away. Keep doing what you do, man.
great vid, now i learn how to swing my way to work

What a great guide. Loved it
I'm a grapple main in titan fall 2 and I can't believe I never thought I could just transfer my skills over to loader
As a longtime loader player, i know a lot of these but it was still super interesting. Great vid cap, keep it up

very good guide, thank you
would be cool to watch a run where you demonstrate all of this in practice
bro snuck the deadbolt ost in and thought we wouldnt notice 🙏

Incredible video
Man going from Engineer to Loader turns it into a completely different game. I love Engineer but Loader is so much more fun

Thank you.
I was indeed a landloader.
Pretty cool video, I might try playing this guy soon.
Man, this is way better than what the server told me! They just told me „Loader gud“
Opened my eyes. Maybe I can go from taking out 1/2 of Mithrix's health to OKOing him
awesome video Cap!
glad I found out plenty of those myself
she always felt best due to ridiculous levels of mobility she can reach
also
no fall damage
thanks cap!! (rhaa stream enjoyer. now a cap subscriber too)

Yup! It's something you just get the feel for eventually, even if it's subconscious
So I haven’t been playing her wrong! Thanks !

Thanks for another banger
I like you explained this with the most CURSED SKINS I HAVE EVER SEEN WITH LOADER

i think the absurdity of loader gets shown off with artifact of command

here's where the fun begins
find a huge target, grapple into them and punch
you bounce back, allowing you to grapple and punch again- rinse and repeat
it's not the best playstyle, but it's so fun turning loader into a paddle ball
WHAT IVE LEARNED IS i have in fact not been playing loader wrong

Got click baited by tech discovery preview, good job
It might not all be new to you but it can be new to others 👍
@@Cap_ just assumed that an actual brand new tech was discovered, still good vid tho👍

Good guide and based deadbolt ost enjoyer
heck ya now I can become a loader pro like my idol I see apple : O

One question though, is "bunny hop" tech I've heard streamers say the same as "pogo" tech
Amazing!

Good to see another Loader enjoyer. She really could have a whole game based on her alone
I just use my ring finger to hit shift and my thumb to hit control when charging. Yes my hands are weird, no I won't change my keybinds.
8:22 nice skin man
Awesome and really digestible guide, but more importantly *how are you in lunar coin debt*
Im still so new to this game and it gets more and more disheartening learning just how little I know about it
Huh? Shouldn't that make you excited?
Agreed. Tons of stuff to learn and get better at! What more could you ask for from a game
I was excited. I thought new tech came out. Good vid though.
looked sick! , i gota learn that pogo
that forehead makes loader op
Good thing about thunder punch ho is early game it allows u to take out a3rial enemies much better
I tought myself this stuff myself. I just max out my crit, atk speed, and movement speed. Even without Command.
Did we watch the same video?
W Video :) 🙂
That was fascinating. Do you plan on doing more videos or is this just something you wanted to put out there for one of your favorite characters?
9:36 loader with not exoskeleton is cursed 💀💀💀

@@Cap_ oh my dumbass did not see that when looking there, ty!
The most broken item you can get on Loader has to be Trancedance. It's a free win on eclipse
i mean thats kinda just for any survivor, if you wanna negate most of eclipse
Finally
I know spiked fist is technically better but lesser wisps being free grapple points is just too cool a concept to ignore
