Is there some lock on indicator I'm missing as I've yet to land these onto a buggy or even a tank?
Forge guns - despite the slow time to charge - eat through tanks and a lot more but the swarm launchers appear to do nothing.
Anyone got any tips on how to use these, cos pointing and shooting isn't doing it for me!

Hold the R1 button down for a few seconds untl you get a box, then center the box on the vehicle until it turns solid red. It takes a few seconds for it to lock. Sometimes the box will never appear, so release R1 and retry again. The swarm likes to buzz around like crazy when you first fire them, so objects or roofs can be a problem until you get a hang of when to lock or when to just run up and dumb fire.
Note: They do nothing against infantry. I for some reason see ppl trying to kill me with them, which is silly. |

they really should change that heavy swarm suit they give new players, that entire suit is a poster child for "doing it wrong"

Just before firing aim up a little, often your self guided explosive drones will hit terrain before hitting your target. |

The fact that they do 0 damage to infantry is bs tbh. Like av nades. Make them non explosive like emp weapons or something if you don't want them to hurt people.
But highly explosive things that don't damage squishy people is lame. Sorry. |

They do damage to infantry. Not a lot, but more than last build. Maybe the guy just had SP invested more. But some bastard killed me with one.
Haven't seen that since replication where everyone just ran about with them trying to rocket jump. |

I do know at point blank they do more damage against owner than intended target in a corner. |

The build before last it was easy to OHKO an opponent with the swarm launcher with AOE damage and a lot of people just ran around firing it at the ground near opponents, or spawn camped with a nanohive. It was easy mode you didn't have to aim or do much of anything other than run around with it pointed at the gound sort of ahead of your character and spam R1.
They might still be working on a final fix. |
