Well I'll be fluttered about by flaylock concussion.

Wonders never cease. I bet with the jumps that Core Flay is very nice. Can you kill tanks with them again? Slap dropships silly?

Breach is a two clip
Officer is EIGHT

Whoa, breach is only 2 in clip?! Damn.
I have the utmost respect for you. Don't know how you do it.
I'm inspired to give it a try.

kinda proves the saying
"Don't bring a knife to a gun fight"
LOL

Me this week:

Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill death kill kill death kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill...

I've been running 90% Minja

On the topic of the Flaylock~

I cannot praise it enough as a sidearm for scouts. It is probably the most stealthy sidearm in the game, second only to the Nova Knives themselves.

• Firing the gun itself makes very little noise.
• The hit markers mean nothing, your target has no idea where you are firing from 9/10.
• The explosions themselves can easily be confused with a mass driver or small missile launcher, even though they are actually different sounds.
• Full damage without falloff.
• Ability to damage targets behind cover.
• Able to destroy equipment behind cover.
• Strong CQC viability against weakened targets with the standard flaylock because of generous splash damage.
• 4 Rounds against the the hacking panel will kill all the hackers, whether there are 1 or 5 of them. As an added bonus, they will likely suffer from shell shock if they survive.
• Fast way to bleed out your opponent(s).

Bleeding out your opponent~

Consider this: when you are bleeding out, the game takes that time for your next uplink deployment. As such, someone who waits a little bit after dying, before picking a place to spawn, often only has to wait 3 seconds to spawn in, regardless of uplink quality. This is not the case if you bled out immediately upon death. Meaning no matter how much time passes before picking a place to spawn, you'll have to wait anywhere between 10~15 seconds to spawn in. Very painful.

So if you are carrying a flaylock, and see a teammate get a nice kill with their fine rifle, or you get a nice double kill with nova knives, add to the ennemy's frustration and tap them with a friendly flaylock explosion. No aiming required. If their ragdoll moves, they will have to wait the full extent of their deployment AFTER picking a place to spawn. This is really useful when clearing an objective in skirmish that also has a CRU nearby.

VERY IMPORTANT EDIT:

• You also get to yell "POCKET ROCKETS!!!!" on coms to your squadmates as you kill things.

Is your weekly KDR really pushing 10.0?

Current weekly K/D: 8.55, and rising

specced into swarms on a minmando. i kill a lot of vehicles. problem is i have no frame of reference as i never ever used swarms before. also no idea whether that tank or DS is well fit or not.

Honestly I used to think of the minja wasn't good. But now I'm actually trying to play as a scout. NK+minja is beast. Lately all my kills are by nk.

Snarky! But now I'm confused.

I hadn't realized that you were opposed 4-man squads. Or are you saying HAVs are too strong and/or AV is too weak?

Perhaps flank is not the correct word, sorry about that. I meant from the side. The back of most sprites keeps the head well protected for some reason (especially heavies).

You rarely need to go through the trouble of getting them in the head. If you have the luxury of choice, making sure you can land a quick second swipe is often easier. However there are instances, for example, if you don't want to use a charged shot because 3 assaults are hacking the objective and you need to kill them quickly, uncharged swipes to the face will kill them. A charged head shot is also capable of killing some heavies on the first strike, which is really nice when the second strike might miss. All in all, this is extra information that might not serve any purpose to most, but there are moments where you can really squeeze some extra utility out of the head shot multiplier on knives. I find it particularly enjoyable and wouldn't have it any other way.




Hi Haerr ! I was flying my incubus on your team for a few matches while you were testing that soma :D! Good games !

3x PRO Flux scans on a GalLogi is pretty neat!

Spawn kills might be frustrating but it's pretty legit in my books. Selecting where to spawn is more important than many realize.

OK either caldari light and rail/masec is a really good combination or these people suck at FPS.

I'm using basic and militia modules/weapons on advanced(basic) suit and wining engagements...

What's gonna happen when I use the assault rail and bolt pistol?

What about a guy that puts an RE on a link that he detonates when you spawn? There's no way you could have known, and as such, I don't think it's a legit death.

But yeah, I can agree with you if you get killed when you spawn on the only blue CRU on the map that's close to the enemy's redline.

I agree, although spawn kills are frustrating, if someone is spawncamping, I'll just wreck their face with a Brick tanked HMG heavy.

Sometimes mistakes are useful.

Exactly the sort of Minja battle I wanted to find: adrenaline rush, great game, good fun, close match, and one of my favourite maps.

Rate my play!!! ;-)


Minmando vs Tank : see what you think: http://youtu.be/JtkTSn-8B70

Is it better to run 3x E Shield extenders now?

I've been running 90% Minja I use a CR with mine though. Probably 60-75% of my kills come from it.

Many people gimp [the suit] though by going overboard with Kincats

Yes! The most important things for me are that a) it's a much faster finisher than any other sidearm and lets you kill without having to rely too much on precision or ADS, and b) if you've hit them with the knives they're pretty much guaranteed to be 1 shot by the flaylock because they're in armor. Any dedicated knifer who hasn't tried the flaylock for at least a little while is missing out.

Enhanced Shields aren't bad anymore, and they free up alot of space. I run 'em on my most of my advanced loadouts (as well as a few assault and scout mk.0 loadouts).

Looks like knifing blaster tanks is a bad idea these days.

* Highly recommend swapping out MD for CR on your Minmando.

I challenge you to go out there with that breach flaylock plus a breach shotgun o.0

That's like ... real men hull tank or something
