For months now I have been trying to turn the Gallente Assault suit into the ideal CQC fighter. Though having more than one oponent, the HMG and every scout in the world, has made it an uphill battle. Months later I have the Gallente Assault to level V, AR damage Proficiency to V, AR sharpshooter to level V and biotics to level V.

The conclusion? Without stealth or an extreme amount of health I'm just cannon fodder in CQC. Heavies outclass me and if there's more than one scout rushing me then my AR proves to lack stopping power.

So, I have gone back to my roots. I have re acquired my Minmatar Assault suit, Flaylock Pistol, Locus Grenades, Myofibril Stimulants and added a Mass Driver and Remote Explosives.

I am now a terrorist for hire. Any insurgents that want to make an impression and lack a desire to move minimize collateral damage to a minimum please contact me.

Lol, all things I think have issues on a console shooter :) I find AOE spam in this game to be too powerful due to the generally imprecise nature of a console shooter and the lack of any discernible logic (or the ability to change the damned control layout) in the bindings.

I'm not suggesting that people absolutely cannot be precise, there are clearly people who have excellent aim, even taking into account the massive drawback to a pad, but on the whole, casual players will never reach that level and AOE does really good damage even if you don't hit so it just gets spammed to death. In most games I'm personally in, I find that more than half of each side is spamming AOE of some description (not counting grenades) and I really don't think that's good.

Put your flags up in the sky. And wave them side to side. Show the world where you're from. Show the world we are one.

I decided to use explosives because I can quickly down a large crowed of enemies. This is paramount because the biggest tactic used in this game is to simply rush an objective with as many people as possible. Previously my favorite light weapons were the Combat Rifle and Scrambler Rifle. Put your flags up in the sky. And wave them side to side. Show the world where you're from. Show the world we are one.

That you can very quickly down a large group of enemies is in no way a good thing to me. But maybe I'm just old-fashioned and remember when you could do that without the use of explosive weapons on older shooters but can't any more. You can't down a large number of people in this game because everyone had high health. Explosives, turrets, off map support and vehicles are the only ways to actually destroy a large amount of people. Explosives are good because they help to prevent people from wandering around in mobs of proto players. Put your flags up in the sky. And wave them side to side. Show the world where you're from.

Try this- Adv gal assault Adv shotgun Adv ion pistol Adv flux Adv scanner Adv rep,red/green juice and dampener 1 krins damage mod and an adv precision. Mod Demolitions is kit a good way to go. Done it my self. That precision mod is not benefiting you at all. You don't have any armor plates so you will die fast when you are noticed and because Assault suits need at least three advanced dampeners to be even mildly stealthy you will be noticed. On the off chance you survive your initial encounter you will quickly die in your second engagement because you are unlikely to recover all the armor you lost in time. Put your flags up in the sky.
