This has been so helpful! I have a question. When there is overwatch on an objective would it be viable to use a speedhacking amarr heavy to try to hack the point so that it can hack it before it dies due to its large health pool?

I actually have a friend who has a speed hacking Amarr heavy just for the reason you just explained. It's pretty effective but you lose out on a lot of potential HP.

After asking me that, I realized I had a mistake on the Amarr Sentinel (Corrected it from 5 lows slots to 4). I also added a new column for quickly referencing the difference in time when adding additional codebreakers.

On paper, 2 codebreakers seem sufficient enough to be a speed hack heavy. The next 2 only bring it down by 0.6 seconds and 0.3 respectively. If 1 extra second is good enough for 2 slots, go for it. But if you want some extra buffer while sacrificing that 1 second, go 2 codebreaks and 2 armor plates.

To answer your specific situations though, I always try to have my squadmates and/or allies put suppressive fire down on the overwatch while I go for the objective. Just know that sometimes speed hacking is a sacrifice play, flipping the objective while paying for it with your life.

Good luck out there! o7

Oh no, I meant my speedhack amarr heavy, not sentinel. That has 2 high slots and 3 low slots.

A quick history tidbit: The Gallente Heavies used to have 1 high and 4 lows and the Amarr had 2 highs and 3 lows. That changed in one of the recent patches that switched the layout for the Sentinels slot layout, resulting in Gallente with 3 lows, Amarr with 4 lows.

This is reflected today in the Sentinels, but Heavy Frames must have been overlooked and didn't get the same changes that the Sentinel got. I might have to poke some people about that.
