So I'm reading the description for the basic Swarm Launcher in the Marketplace, and it mentions that it fires in both "dumbfire and target-locked modes". Does anyone know how to fire a Swarm Launcher without a target lock? |

You used to be able to back in the day, but they chopped in it half with the nerf axe, they probably just forgot to change the description. Hopefully that style of swarm comes back....just...in a more balanced way ::shudders:: |

I really miss being able to dumb fire swarms into the side of a tank point blank, they probably took it away so nublets would stop trying to use swarmlaunchers on infantry. |

I took a tank out last night with a standard swarm launcher but I didn't have time to lock onto the target for the last shot. So I had the tank in my sights and tapped fire without locking on, it fired in a straight line and 2 rockets hit the tank.
So it must have dumb fire capabilities but only in certain situations. Test it and try it out, I can't get on my ps3 till later tonight :( |

Like everyone else said, back in the day.
I remember when people would sit up at C on Manus Peak, when it was positioned on the deck, and shoot swarm launchers at the funnel of A. Also people used to shoot the MCC with them. |

Yeah me too ...
I'm wondering now if it will dumb fire but only if there is a vehicle in or partially in the reticule.
I'll have a look into this later. |

I would love to know how to make my swarms dumbfire again. I had lots of fun with suicide runs, usually pointless, but it sure was fun. |

Just do what the kids do when they're redline and are down to their last 30 clones.
Mass jump out of the MCC and fall to the death.
I see it happen 20% of skirmish games,
Makes clone count drop faster. |

My fave one is when the ticker says "so and so committed suicide" then "so and so has left the battle" then as soon as the match isover it says "so and so has joined the battle" usually on the losing team lol. |
