Tactics Guide: Return of the Waffentrager
Дата: 29.09.2021 23:52:37
Jambijon: Greetings everyone! Similar to what I did for the previous
iteration of this event, I'm going to add the updated guide we put
together here. Of course its not a end all be all of guides
for this event but should give a better idea for those starting
out. For the quick and easy, heres a quick video:
For a more wordy guide click the spoiler:Tactics Guide Harriers: Work together or lose First and foremost, play in a platoon if possible. Avoid the Waffentrager! Do your best to keep out of line of sight and try to put some distance in between you. Stay out of it's EMP blast radius. The inner most circle can do major damage while the outer radius will shock you (stun your tank). This blast goes through any objects or obstructions. It is possible to avoid the blast while in the radius if you are in lower or higher elevation than the WT If there's no way out try to occupy the WT attention for as long as possible. Keep the WT spotted! Take advantage of your mobility! Try to make the WT reposition if you have their attention. Kiting the WT is extremely helpful for your teammates who are engaging bots. Use your boost! Either for escape or relocating across the map. Your medkit can remove the shocked/stun effect. Resistor (Obj 140): The railgun ability is less accurate but increases overall damage and does more module damage (shoot those bots engines) Thunderbolt (Patton): The siege mode increases fire rate but decreases mobility so make sure you’re relatively safe before enabling it. Foudre (bat-chat): The shield (ballistic dome) does not protect against from physics damage (ram/fall) and the EMP blast. If timed right it can be used as a shield to protect the plasma carrier on the way or capturing the generators. Better to save the shield for the WT than the bots unless the WT is far enough to give you time for the cooldown. Plasma: The first time a plasma is picked up it will restore some HP to your team. The generator itself can be used as cover. Faster tanks (Foudre) should prioritize delivering the plasma. If needed, the plasma can be dropped using the N key. When carrying the plasma you do get a damage buff to the WT. Bots: Remember, the bots spot for the WT Don't stick around just to get a bot kill, they won't go anywhere. Your lives are more valuable, especially during early game. Shoot the bot's engines! The bots have an extremely high chance of catching fire when their engine is struck. Focus fire the bots! It's better the get a gun out of the fight than maximizing damage output. Don't sit in front of bots. They deal damage too. Bot's spawn level and location is shown on the mini-map. Attacking the WT: The WT has no weakpoints so it doesn't matter where you shoot it. Though dangerous, faster tanks can circle the WT since it’s traverse isn’t great but be sure to have an escape plan or distract as long as possible. Be sure to be opposite to your team when shooting the WT. It can only look at one target at a time. If you have lives to spare, be aggressive but efficient. You want to take the attention away from teammates that may have less lives to spare. Make the WT use its bad traverse speed with a full surround. It is possible to bounce a WT shot so hull down positions can be effective. Remember, it takes a max of 2 shots from the WT to destroy you (if you haven’t healed). Blitzträger auf E 110: Shoot Tanks. Secure the kill! The Harriers have options for regaining hp. Don't be afraid of reloading the clip. It doesn't take too long (13 seconds) Shoot tanks Rush them to break them up from attacking your minion tanks. Use your EMP shell or blast to slow down pesky circling or fleeing Harriers Shoot tanks Protect the lower tier minions Higher tiers are obviously tougher on the harriers Ram those pesky harriers who wonder too close. The EMP blast is great for defending the generators and will reset the capture time. The plasma carriers are highlighted so focus them down. The EMP shot is great for slowing them down and countering the harrier charge ability. I'm sure there's a ton of stuff I missed so feel free to comment any advice you have.
