Whenever I get a large amount of WP, I sometimes astonish myself.
It's not that I get ultra high numbers of WP like some people (5088 is the most I've gotten, and that was pretty much a one off match where I also only died once or twice), it's because I consistently get at least 2000 WP every match.
Without trying.
I think I now realise why:
80% of the time, I'm the one with the defend order. Self explanatory.
I always run a core focused repair tool, and I try to heal anyone if their armour bar is dented. I like running this because it allows you to turn anyone (Especially heavily tanked suits like heavies) into an unkillable nightmare. It's also saved my squad mates many times.
A thing to note for those unfamiliar or uncertain of the WP mechanics of the repair tool:
The repair tool has a high maximum cap on the points you can earn with it. Getting a higher grade repair tool makes your points come in faster. Since you get points for amount of health healed, upgrading your repair tool does not get you more points, it just gets you them faster.
It is possible to get all the points and stop receiving them, but the cap should reset after a couple minutes or so (it feels like a couple minutes, anyway). Keep in mind that the cap is higher than it used to be and you can get lots of points.
I try to keep the entire area lit up with my proto quantum scanner. Hooray, scan kill assist points left right and centre!
80% nanite injector. Stabby stab stab. Remember to make sure the area is safe. Failing that, use your best judgement; only get people up if you think you can help them survive. Works great for saving people from losing their stuff.
Quantum nanohives. Blah blah blah, yeah Alloteks are great but hear me out. You can carry 4 of these things, and they have you at max ammo in 4 pulses. Cost less to fit than Alloteks. Yeah, my Scr is extremely efficient for ammo but I like having more ammo to give. I think the faster you resupply, the faster you get WP.
I don't like using Alloteks because they force me to stand still to heal and resupply agonisingly slowly. Once they run out, I've got no ammo to give people. I hate how they don't resupply and heal at the same time (It heals you to full, then gives you ammo), and besides I've got a repair tool for a reason.
I admit that running Alloteks makes a lot of sense, but I do fine with 11.25 repair per second anyway. In short, Alloteks just don't fit with how I play.
Scrambler rifle. Visiam. Proficiency 5. Lots of damage and well placed shots = Kill kill kill.
One of the most important things to how I play is being confident that I can win fights. I want to be good at defending myself and killing. I am terrible when it comes to managing overheat (Must pay more attention), but I like it more than any other weapon and use it almost exclusively. Having a friend with a rail/combat rifle is a winning combination.
It does feel too easy to get WP sometimes. |
