Grenade Launchers do this in IB too. It’s so frustrating.

At least I have rockets to swap back to in there now but it's quite the 180 going from having a poo poo-eating grin due to seeing a whole team grouped up looking the other way then getting blown the gently caress out :v:

The only use for grenade launchers are

1) 150rpm launchers with prox and rampage for add clearing in pve

2) 150rpm launchers with spike nades for boss nuking

Well I barely invade anyway because I spec more for pve in Gambit and I tend to get one-shot more than I get kills so I know to stay at home unless no one is bothering but at least it's nice to know I can throw that in the trash lol

Huh well gambit is neat. Has the mote economy already been optimized by internet numbers weirds? Not playing with anyone in particular so I can't really coordinate anything but it would be nice to know.

Joined a game in progress where the other team kicked 9 phalanxes at us in about twenty seconds. :v:

e: Second game had me, two single randoms, against a four stack. It didn't even fill out the team. We almost won.

e: Stop giving me the rando team of 500s against 4 stacks of 540 to 560 holy poo poo

The premade teams I've played against tend to play high risk and not bank until at least two of them have 15 to bank for heavy blockers, which they'll dump simultaneously, and then invade you while you can't dump. This works more often than not, but is a real high risk move if you're solo queueing. It's not a failsafe win button, and there isn't one in Gambit, which is nice. I've beaten premade groups that do this with randos.

The only thing I wouldn't recommend is just blowing motes on small blockers all the time, as those mobs are burned down really easily. The solid strategy is block the other team's poo poo up and immediately invade to cause mote loss while they can't bank.

In my opinion, small blockers are actually the best ones to send over because they take more time to kill and can blast you out of cover and/or to your death.

They're balanced around the fact that taking fifteen round trips to drop off 5 motes is really bad!

Ogres are large but barely do any damage, and die to 4 Ikelos rounds.

Phalanx shields suck if there are several too, they tend to overlap.

I look at it like, if your teammates are also dumping small & medium blockers, more adds sent over is good. Otherwise, anyone with a sniper or combat bow can take out the small blocker adds real quick. But yea, I like Gambit for this reason, there doesn't seem to be any real exploitable strategy to win all the time. Just haul rear end, don't die, kill the red bad guy when you get invaded.

It's pretty funny when my team has been off collecting motes and get back to the center and there's like 5 small blockers chilling out there.

You want a Trust as well. It’s 180rpm so it’s a bit weaker than the Ace of Spades or the Duke but it’s fun in PVE. I have one with Rapid Hit and it’s a laser beam.

I think a mix of all 3 is best, but small are more annoying than the others.

Ophidia Spathe Blade Junkie, all I gotta do is throw throw - gymnastics - throw throw to kill a knight or ogre in a few seconds having expended nothing but the Cabal will shield at the last moment and gently caress that momentum.

I'm actually really impressed with how well thought out Gambit is, you just can't single it.

I got 2 trusts in 2 drops on Saturday. Also got the auto rifle with rampage from gambit. Both are really loving nice.

Counter balance is really important for the go figure and for the IB pulse which seems to shred.

Good day for mods. Gonna buy a bunch.

Chest of inmost is pretty cool. Getting an ability off gives around half a melee and grenade charge.

You can also throw a grenade and pop your shield and it'll do increased damage which is really strong on pulses. It seems like it'll be pretty strong in pve too.

Tried out the sentinel gloves too. They're pretty good for getting super energy back. I blocked a mob of adds for my whole super and got another super back right away.

Just want the one eyed mask.

This morning I got the oh so popular Go Figure roll of Outlaw and Kill Clip (and HCR :hist101:) to drop so this is perfect timing.

This thing is pretty vile in Crucible. Wow.

But I do need to try this new IB pulse. Only have one, Rampage and Headseeker. Could be worse.

I got pretty close to a perfect roll. Step ahead, ricochet rounds which fixes the range, full auto. Gonna throw a CB on it.

I dig how it rewards running around using supers by giving your bros the means to getting more supers. Not everyone's figured it out but enough have.
