Does getting one of those USB lan adapters speed up the connection, or does it just make the connection more stable since it's going through a USB port?

Well, I just rushed into battle right after starting the game, I was the second highest scoring person in the game, that's kind of disturbing. Especially since I didn't know how to permanently change my camera angle.

Silver Falcon posted:You zip around in "roller" mode, hide in ink, and jump out and flick paint at unsuspecting people like crazy. Spamming the flick button spreads ink really well, especially if you keep moving. Basically, never stop moving unless you're waiting to ambush somebody. Don't do the roller mode unless you need to get somewhere fast, or escape from an enemy. Otherwise, flick paint like there's no tomorrow. Ninja Squid and Ink Resist are both vital abilities. The Manticore posted:I didn't realize the canister on your back was a separate tank of ink until I was done with the challenges, so I ended up being even more conservative with ink than the game demanded. Thanks, I've never really noticed people being good with that thing during matches, I'll have to play around with it.

LethalGeek posted:I like the sneaky nature of the brush but dont feel like I'll ever get the hang of splatting / not be splatter of it to really work it well I'm bad at laying the brush down and escaping, but then again I'm going whole matches without dying and coming in first. Also laying down sprinklers is AMAZING, I throw down one while pathing to the middle during the initial rush just get to some side coverage and by the time I hit mid I can throw another one and they're just so great at slowing down the enemy or making ink traps at drops.

So in that map with the one control zone that has a grate overhead, I'm shocked how long my sprinklers last up there, you'd think people would shoot them.

CatsPajamas posted:Since people gave some good charger advice, how about some anti-charger advice? Specifically, how do you deal with a charger when you can't flank them? Eh, I inkrush past em, or I get near the base of where they're sniping from and throw a sprinkler above them. As long as you're completing objectives chargers don't matter.

Jonas Albrecht posted:The main thing to remember when starting out with Chargers is that you're not toting around a sniper rifle. It's a long range paint flinger that paints in long straight lines. And you can paint these lines very fast. A mistake I often see is chargers doing short pulls to cover space around them. This is bad because it's a hugely inefficient way to cover turf with the weapon. The method I use is to make a path until I get to an open area, and then do a full shot, step left or right, and repeat. Speaking of paths, that's a stellar feature of chargers. You can zip through a stage early on. I loving love racing down Moray Towers. Also, the long range of chargers allows you to ink over enemy-claimed turf from far off, without having to engage or sneak by the enemy. What do you do when an ink brusher throws a sprinkler on your position then charges past you? Because I do that poo poo constantly.

wall sprinklers also have more ink hitting the ground and do more damage, I throw them to hold off a corridor to cover my back while I'm inking an area.Supercar Gautier posted:It's a bit less likely to get shot, but IIRC the coverage is much better if you just place it right-side-up in the middle of the "cross". I throw it upside down above the cross so I have that nice area to swim around in to guard that area. Best sprinkler throw is probably on top of the moving trucks so they can just zamboni you some points.

Silver Falcon posted:Become Roller Coaster King anyway, because it is the right thing to do! Fight for the glory of your team! It's not about the snails, it's about proving you're better than the other guys! If two enemies spot you, just lay down the brush and bug out, nothing is going to catch up to you. Getting six kills and zero deaths is a pretty sweet bonus in addition to having the highest score on your team.

Any advice on inkbrushing on moray towers? I feel like that's my weakest map in turf wars, cleaning up those lanes is risky as hell with a short range weapon. I'm doing ok throwing sprinklers, but drat I want to get more done you know?

Octobrush is great for killing people and I feel a lot better about going after people with a kraken panic button, but I think inkbrush is better at marking turf with the sprinklers and inkstrike.

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:I wish I liked the octobrush instantly- gotta play with it more but it just feels like a worse inkbrush to me. The swings for whatever reason feel a lot slower and the ink spread is super unreliable. I think the swing rates are similar but the octobrush throws five globs of paint that are bigger and more damaging vs individual inkbrush globs. Maybe 50% more ink is layed down on the charge, but the run speed for the inkbrush is way better.

Onean posted:I can't say for sure for the time it takes a swing to complete Octobrush vs. Inkbrush. However, I can say the Octobrush has a much longer cooldown between swings vs. the Inkbrush. I can get 3-4 swings with the Inkbrush in the time it takes to get 2 with the Octobrush. I think the octobrush is going to be way more useful on Moray Towers, but in general turf war I love sprinklers too much to give up the inkbrush. Chuck 'em on ceilings every chance you get, then splat people who're looking up at them trying to knock them off, it's just too good.
