So when I come across Mass drivers I tend to run straight at them when there's no cover around...is this the smartest thing to do? never really sure how to combat them, people say strafe, but even as a scout with kinetics that doesnt always work, but what usually works for me is to simply run straight at them (usually in a strafing pattern) and that usually get the job done but I usually get hit once or twice... |

use terrain to your advantage
if theres a slight hill then standing behind it will eliminate the damger of splash damage forcing hte MD to score direct hits
basically if you can always try to mitigate the possable effect of splash damage.
if your in a spot without cover and no hills with no easy escape then youve screwed up and shouldnt of been there.

But of course! and im never in the open, I mean mostly in situations like when in a mostly urban area and im in a hallway or in the midst of crossing the street, but yesz the slopes of hills will serve me well. Thank you ^_^* |

If in open ground, stand still and shoot. The dps is low, you can easily outgun him toe to toe. The MD is designed to counter strafimg!!

QFT, though this may or may not be viable depending on what weapon you're using. That would be good information to give us. Also, are you talking about exclusively when in a scout suit? Or just general anti-MD tactics? |

Agreed, even the slightest height elevation will help. Just make sure you are at the peak of the terrain or the hill behind you will serve as the point of impact. As long as the shell can only do damage to you with a direct hit, you are golden.
Also, never try to engage at a disadvantage. If a MD has you on low ground then GTFO and find an engagement area that is better. |

Just trying hard not troll...
As I sniper I don't have a lot of time in CQC but I find that surprising someone and running at them while emptying an SMG clip into their face will get me kills I probably don't deserve.

Ah yes, trolling ^_^"
Strangely enough thats the exact thing that I do, main fit is a shotty and proto sub machine gun...and sometimes I run up to the guys face and fill'em fullo lead, and when I get that close they either risk killing themselves or not having any alternative at that point.
