Great OP  One note on the White Knight hero: he has 15% armor, as far as I can tell the one stat that sets him apart from a normal dude wearing the same gear.

 I'll just leave this here. Use the NT4 silencer if you use fancy rear end graphics and / or can't stand muzzle flash (I can't control recoil without that dakka, don't know why). Edit: occurred to me that I should provide some evidence of this machine's effectiveness. Here's a result from a match before I put on the good stock.

SwitchbladeKult posted:AK works best when you have the ability to scope in and drop some fire at them from range. The AR is best if you are medium to close range and just want to lay down some fire while moving quickly. They are two completely different styles. Funny, I like the AK's hipfire but can't stand that bumpy recoil when I ADS.

I've decided to try and record some gameplay to show a friend how I play BLR. My laptop's not quite up to the task, but whatevs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bDJw0DeqeA I'd describe the build and everything, but that's in the video. I'll probably do more (this video pisses me off because I did badly), would anyone in the thread be interested in me posting them here?

A new hero has been released. Her name's Crusher, and she's available through 1000GP chance packs, like Ghost. Let's have a look, shall we?  That looks like a regular heavy Fox Cat build (laaaazy, Zombie) but she has a few neat stat differences. 237HP, 21% armor, and 8.3 HRV recharge. Nice. Very nice. Apparently HRV recharge isn't linked to armor after all. She comes with the Health Injector as her tactical gear, Frag and EMP grenades, and her depot item is ammo refill. That might sound dumb, but it means you free up a slot of your own. Primary:  Decent AR, nothing fancy, but it's a good, capable weapon. Secondary:  Speedbuild shotty with a drum magazine. Why the hell, but whatever. Again, decent, not great. Basically, if you're low level and like to gamble: get this hero. She's too good. As far as I know, this is the best tank in the game statwise; the heal injector and free depot slot are just icing on the cake. Basically she's made of expensive, good items, some of which aren't available until pretty late in the game. Results:  EDIT: also, her taunt is a pelvic thrust. Yes. mahazuhul fucked around with this message at 17:26 on Jun 19, 2013 |

More reason to get Crusher (I feel like her pimp at this point): with her 21% armor, 3 50 damage AR headshots do exactly 237 damage to her, same as her health. So with a health+ tag, you'd survive that. She's resilient like that. I also use the anti explosive patch for more tankiness. It's fun being a hard bitch to kill.

I've been having quite some success sniping using a lower FOV. I do recommend you try it if you mostly use a BAR or AMR. I've set the FOV (regular old XFOV) to 74, and use the 6x scope on my BAR. It's lovely. It's really narrow, it feels claustrophobic at first, and you (appear to) move slow as molasses, but it makes heads so much easier to hit, because everything seems zoomed in a lot more. I only got the idea after trying max YFOV and finding it hard to hit heads at long range. Also, you know how using a high YFOV makes it easier to control recoil? Yeah, this does the opposite. Automatics bounce all over the place.

Ran into a hacker earlier today (FKBLRBlackList was his oh so subtle name) and tried to record him on Helodeck. In his wisdom though, he had picked an incendiary BPFA to hack with, so he kept dying. He just couldn't kill people fast enough, aimbot or no. That is probably the worst weapon to hack with.

Improbable Lobster posted:Obnoxious whining is a staple of F2P forums. I don't know, if you're good at other FPS games, you'll probably do well in BLR. HRV just makes everything more tactical. Improve your awareness (get a Hunter helmet to improve your HRV recharge and take your HP to 205) and you'll be destroying people in no time. Using HRV well is key in this game. I probably went like 2-22 in my first game, due to having practically no multiplayer FPS experience at all. I was that derpy lvl1 charging into battle courageously holding LMB all the way.

I can't stand Metro. It's a spawnrape explosions twitchfest. To each their own! EDIT: to deal with snipers on Safehold, use the underground tunnels to your advantage. Nobody seems to. My best score on Safehold is 40-something, with a HAR, just traveling from one side to the other, catching people by surprise. I think most of the kills I got in that game were people who had just spawned and just ran out into the open. For some reason people rush to the great wide open area in the middle or the balconies, which are absolute death-zones if there are decent snipers on the other team. Think like a sniper, then do what you'd hate. mahazuhul fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Jul 20, 2013 |

This gear / weapon combo is fun. This gear set (fa-bu-lous)  This weapon (awww, so cute!)  VROOOOOOM!!  Once you get used to the recoil of the shrill muzzle with the folding stock, it really doesn't matter much which barrel you use with them. Go for damage or weight I guess, spread should be fine either way. For ARs I usually go with a magnum revolver with the 3x elotech scope as a secondary, to get those semi-precision shots when you need them. On Offshore, it helped out with people looking out of windows.

NihilCredo posted:Building ARs for speed is bad because all their speed modifiers are halved, up or down. I.e. heavy parts are lighter and light parts are heavier. A speed-build AK will be a lot faster than the equivalent AR. (As a matter of fact, I happen to build the M4X with the exact parts you showed, only with a light mag and the red dot sight). True, but I don't like the recoil on AKs. M4X is alright, but feels crippled at medium range, and I don't like the recoil on that either.

I've got the Robot Voice pack, as have many others. Apparently it only works in first person. I've not heard anyone else's robot voice and they can't hear mine. Shame, cause it talks about as much as Seananners. Pretty good taunts too. EDIT: Have some guns. Assault rifle:  This is probably the "best" AR you can build now. That move spread is ridiculous. Use an Express mag if the Light mag reloads too slowly for you, at the cost of a little spread. Quickscope BAR:  Built for scope-in time and rate of fire at the cost of damage and a little spread. Heavy duty BAR:  180 damage, 80 fire rate, 0.30s scope-in with a 6x scope. Bam. mahazuhul fucked around with this message at 13:44 on Aug 10, 2013 |

The 2JF combo is also great for ADS-ing (it is an accuracy build after all) if you can control the recoil. On AR and SMG it's not too bad, but the AK and M4X jump around quite a bit. Tapfire for the win.

Sometimes, rounded numbers in this game just amuse me. Have a build that has the exact same stats as the default AR with a Light mag, that just reloads faster. Also has a silencer, if you're into those.  Default AR with Light magazine and Speed+ tag  My build with Express magazine and Speed+ tag I just like finding weapons that are straight upgrades (however insignificant) in some way over weapons that have basically the same stats. There's mathematics to exploit here, people. mahazuhul fucked around with this message at 14:36 on Aug 28, 2013 |

NihilCredo posted:Yeah, the default AR actually has a little over 50 damage, because a damage tag will bring it to 51, but if you're not using a damage tag then you're effectively wasting build 'points'. I expect that your build stays at 50 even with the tag, and you've traded the extra damage for the -0.025 speed of the Express mag. Yeah, damage tag does nothing on this. I switched the receiver to a BAR and noticed the damage dropped to 178. There's that rounding in action, I guess. I just found it amusing. Someone was using a silencer on a default AR because they liked silencers, and that irked me enough to want to build a default-AR-stat build that has one. The reload speed is just a bonus.

Testing those rules. BAR players are hosed, unless they're very loving good at the game. Main culprits being no weapontag (so 5 rounds standard mag is all you get) and the light pistol secondary.

Bobcats posted:Those rules make the game nothing like how it plays for everyone else. It may as well be a heavy pistol tournament. An idea I've been tossing around in my head is to allow EVERYTHING IN THE GAME - but only one per team. So a 5 man team gets to pick items from the full collection of receivers, tactical gear, armor, etc, weapon parts excluded, but they'd have to balance their teams best they can with the limited number of items available. Heroes would be allowed, but only with their default weapons and gear. There are of course two major problems with this: one is that not everyone has access to all items due to level constrictions, another is that it'd be a royal pain in the rear end to make sure everybody followed the rules without some in-game way to verify quickly before the match starts. Shame, because I don't see how else you could even remotely hope to balance competitive play and still have the players be able to use anything and everything. Some have tried to run no-rules scrims, but of course those turned out in nade/tomahawk/shuriken fests where everyone ran pretty much the same armor setup with the defacto weapons. BLR: customizable, depots, hardsuits, heroes, lots of variety Competitive BLR: no customization, no depots, no heroes, no variety That's just wrong.
