Request this minigun pu!

Post by draegohn » Fri May 18, 2007 10:37 am

i feel that there should be a pu that makes the minigun turn into the mini rocket launcher. with all the obsession about people getting the ssr mini pu, there is heavy efforts to ask and share good mini guns in hopes someone snags the ssr pu. otherwise, the mini is rather lame unless you jam many damages, rages, and such on it. so why not give the minigun holders something nice to use instead since ssr pu is not so easy to obtain the flak has blast and razor, so why not let mini have one to make it mini rl? some of you may think mini rl is not as good, but i would use it over blast cannon. it does very well, especially against army guys if you make use of its splash damage.

-=drae's tips=-
yes, i will share more!

1: hitting and killing the army guys is a pain, isn't it? unless one has wand, essr, or mini ssr, killing just one can take a bit of effort. so here is some advice with some weapons to kill them more effectively. for the mini rl, ak47, blast cannon, fireball, flare, rocket launcher, and lady, you should make the most out of the splash damage effect since hitting these guys straight on can be a bit difficult. so simply do this--aim for their feet! if you hit them, good, but if you can hit the floor near them, the splash damage will take effect, hurt, and kill them very well. this is also very nice when many are gathered in a group as well, then you can hit multiple ones with splash damage!

2: elite soldiers and telefragging them can be a funny experience to watch. some can do it well, others just look silly trying again and again as their hp is widdled away. so here is the best way to telefrag them, which is what i do. don't go for their ankles or such as many think you should do, you need to get them head on! best position to be is right in front of them i have found. so, stand in front of them, but not up against them fully, shoot your trans to their chest, and the very momentyou believe it makes contact with them, hit alt fire to trans and telefrag. this takes some practice to time it right, for too early or too late results in needing to try again. also, there usually is no rush for these guys. all but the mini and wand ones shoot rather slow. so time it as well so their shot doesn't hit your trans and wreck it, and all should be good!

3: for the advanced, high level players. if you happen to acquire the regular lightning rod, and also a double or triple damage...try like heck to save them both for wave 20. upon wave 20's start, initiate the damage artifact, scroll to the lightning rod, kill some enemies to make adr max again, then start the lightning rod. and just run run run..aiming not necessary! the lightning strikes are the same as if one is holding many wopped lightning guns that homes in on enemies, and because iof this, your damages and such on the gun are added to the lightning bolts. so couple this with the damage artifact as well, and you can rape monsters without even shooting your gun. you get your adrenaline replenished very well by enemy kills, but also by enemy types that allow you to suck adr off with strikes. these enemies include queens, titans, valgaries, and others. these enemies are what the the energy pus are for, and if you never tried it..put energy 5 on a mini or mp5, have 0 adr, and watch your adrenaline increase rapidly even before the monster has died. it is not easy to save these artifacts for the last wave since so much can go wrong, and often i have to use lightning rod or damage artifacts on waves 17, 18, and 19 when so many have died and the enemies are hurting a lot more. but hey, if you can, give this a try! its fun to be a mad killer! ^,,^

Don't forget that Flak's getting a third pu for it, forgot which one it is but it's going on d=)

Another aim tip is the shock or link spreads. I spam the hell out of these then I get them I know, but I move sideways as I'm firing ; They can't dodge a wall of death can they? d=)

You can get the trans to go through their legs. That and aim to land it in the shadow. You don't need to be directly over them to score the telefrag

I complained about this 4 months ago and wanted the exact same idea as what you are saying but everyones like "OH NO WE CANT DO THAT" or basicly just called me a "dumbass"

pleeeeeze, it is possible :P if the ssr mini pu can turn the mini into what it is, another pu can do the same, but with mini rl. its a good idea, nard, because its not a super wep, people never ask for it from chest, and few really don't know how good it can be on all maps. its bad for flying monsters on large maps though, thats about it.

dj wants another flak pu? X} well, i thought about one actually. the needler. think rocket cluster, but instead of rockets in that pattern shooting out, it is an array of needles instead. i would suggest no ricochet, just straight out needles, firing faster and rapid than the cluster does.

wrong, i allways ask for it or for howie, esp cause of the splashdamage - good for "highpingers" like me - and good selfhealing-effect,when 2 or 3 healings loaded. but mostly im to late cause of most still announcing weaponchest only via voice...

elitesolders. try kill a wandelite by facing them. how many lifes do you have? if you are in hidingspot there is mostly no way to go out without beeing killed. especially if you are last player, you should try using the camera (button "q" toggles cam on/off by default) in the trans while you toss it aginst it and with a bit trans-training in instantgames you can trans the non-moving elite by tossing trans, camera "on", transwatching -when "facing" enemy (with the trans)->translocate (exactly in the "milisecond", before trans bounce off the e.s.)-> e.s. (should be) dead...

needles should nail monster to wall with a propulsion or pullforward-effect, so you can try killing nailed monsters without beeing hitted, but i bet its impossible to recreate nailed monsteranimations, to show monsters which try to break away (in 5-10 seconds, if its not killed)

That would be pretty easy to do, I will see if we can get it in the next patch.

Sometimes a crazy move is the best move.
