ok, Let me start by saying I just went 31/10 using pure remotes mines.
Also to someone above, remote mines don't work well on turets anymore, the base on them doesn't go away. So thebase can't take damage, however you can jump and land on top of one and place all three on top of the turret, it will blow sky high.
Now Lots of people have given you tons of advice so I'm just going to give you the break down of the different levels of remote mines and why I have a build with each at all times.
Basic Remote Mines
-These kill anyone in one hit, so they are always useful
-you can carry 3 of them *last build it was 2*
-They take about 4 seconds to arm
-5m explosion radius
Advanced Remote Mines
-Carry 3 mines
-2 second arming time
-5 m explosion radius
Proto Remote Mines
-Carry 4 mines
-2 second arming time
-7.5 explosion radius
So there you go, I find all three useful on different builds. On a logi i go basic since my nanohive can support me and it's slow timer makes it useful for defence
Advanced mines are used on my speed builds. You can throw remote mines while jumping. They will tarvel through the air, use this to your advantage, you won't losse sprinting speed while jumping so you can deploy while moving fast. When you hit the ground keep running, get behind cover, press the button, keep running.
Or if you know you'll be killed fit a basic Remote mine speed fit. Run in lay 3 mines everwhere you can in the blob of the red team. Don't be scared just run in at an angle and start flying through the air leaving remote mine gifts. Then once your dead, press the L1 button rapidlly while going from the kill screen to the overview. You will set them off killing 4-5 people
Finally the protomines are for protosuits only. The goal is use the flying mine trick and luring people around corners. The larger explosions radius makes it easier to hit with, and because you carry 4 of them you won't be hurting for remote mines. I'd say the main reason I use this on a suit I expect to keep alive is the 4 remote mines. That's a bigger advantage than the 7.5 explosion radius.
So good luck and have fun!
Also stop shooting at peope when you see them hacking, Just quietly place a remote under the three people hacking, they won't hear it and you shouldn't pop up on their radar. 2second timer, BOOM. Much more useful than leaving a remote mine on an objective. Only do that if you are going to be leaving the area. As long as your close you'll get more kills by waiting for them to start the hack before you drop a mine.
Else good players just clear them with a flux it's a waste. |
