I didn't think I would ever make a post like this, since I'm what you call a happy-player. Pretty casual and not too worried about the finer points of gameplay. Just like to have fun you know.
But.
How the hell I am supposed to manage to survive, or, even, dare I say it, kill a heavy, especially upper tier ones with my assault-fit??
My adv. AR doesn't even dent their shield to be honest. Grenades? Yeah, no. They just shrug'em off.
I know, from a distance, right? Well no. Heavies are supposed to be slower but I can't even outrun them when they start raining bullets at me. HMG's do have pretty formidable range also whatwith the specializations and all.
I have shield modules and not too bad suit but it's under a second and I'm down when facing a heavy with HMG. Literally, under a second. Yesterday was especially bad.
You can't kill em, you can't outrun em. What do?
I know this has been discussed to death but I just felt I should put up a post about this. |

Vs. heavy long to mid rang: laser rifle any suit (1 man)
Vs. heavy mid to close rang: assault rifle any suit (2 or more men)
Vs. heavy close range: shotgun scout suit (1 man - learn to kite use environment/obstacles to your advantage)
So the question is: why are you trying to take down heavys, by your self, with an AR/assault suit?
Think of the reality of the situation. He's got four times the fire power that you have and probably two or more times the hit points. Ponder that for a minute, then during your next solo encounter, proceed to run away as fast as you can.
Class dismissed.
Maybe my first post wasn't clear enough. I really am NOT trying to take heavies by myself. If all, I try to avoid them to the last bit.
But you must know that some encounters cannot be avoided.
If you bothered to read the first post, I can't outrun them either. And I feel that if I end up vs. heavy I should have at least little bit of a chance versus him even if it is me running away.
Laurent Cazaderon put up very good post detailing the situation.
Well, live and learn. Or rather, die. |

1. If you round a corner and there is a heavy stairing you in the face (you obviously weren't paying attention to your radar or onscreen enemy indicator because heavys show up quite nicely on both) you're dog meat pal, just accept it.
I remember one encounter very clearly even though it was some time ago.
Line Harvest map (4 obj.)
We were defending B, and between B and the nearest supply depot there are 2 walls and the enemy was coming from that direction.
There was not any kind of indicator on radar nor onscreen. I was rounding the first wall near B and BOOM. Shot in the face by HMG.
Now, I did made the check for red dots before I went but somehow the enemy heavy had gotten behind that wall without anyone seeing him.
I don't know how he got there, maybe he was even using profile dampeners, I don't know.
But my point is; you just can't 'check the radar' because that doesn't tell you everything. Maybe I should start spending on Scanning analysis or what was it..
Well, this is starting to trail off altogether.
Thanks everybody. I got my rant and I heard good points from both sides. |
