Unlocks Best/Worst

[KiLL3r]

Just wondering what unlocks everyone has. i cant decide what to unlock next the squadleader drones or the engineer at gun.Only problem is everything leading up to it is pretty useless.

Damn :eek: I'm sure you could lend me some unlocks, I only have about 8 :(

If i was you i'd go for the engineer rifle not the AA gun cos the aircraft are pretty passive in 2142... plus the you can have fun with the at rifle just ask ghost :P

yeah i think that will be my last ever unlock, i just finished unlocking the baur seems pretty powerful

I find that defuser pretty useful, really fast compared to the old spanner.

The Vehicle radar doesnt seem to work all the time, sometimes when you stick it on your car or whatever you get the effect, and others nothing.

I'm not sold on the AVR, useful if you can ambush something, 5 shots still, slow reload, doesn't seem that much better than the standard gun. Maybe I just suck with it. Very easy to take out titan guns with the AVR, as they are pretty much stationary.

I really don't like the ganz, don't know how the rest of you are going with it. When I use it by the time it starts getting accurate, even if I ambush ppl, they often manage to turn around and kill me. Don't have that issue with standard support gun.

Does anyone know how to use the PK-47 rockets effectively? i've been trying to get the hang of them but can't seem to kill anyone with them. They reload fast too which is nice.

Do you have to adjust the distance for most shots or just long distance ones?

[Smudge1]

You do realize, Killer is only showing off ? :sly:
Only joking killer :bounce:
You could always unlock the closset that Berg is hidding in.ROFL :bounce:

This weapon is best utilized for killing peeps behind cover. I don't bother using it for shots where I could just shoot the enemy with my rifle.

lol they are simple, they self adjust to the distance of whatever your aiming at, just remember that they have an arming range of 20m. AR rockets are my favourite unlock by far.

Same.

[spliffted]

So as long as my crosshair is on the target i wont need to readjust the distance at all? That would explain a lot :p

they're guided to some degree aswell aren't they?

no they arnt guided. also if you want to re-adjust the range you need to unscope and scope on your target again, or do it manually with the mouse wheel.

Zeller and Ganz = Waste of unlock.

[Donkey]

Fucking hell. I have only 4 unlocks :(

Go for the silver/gold badges my son.

[shoot_2_kill_u]

U all hate the Ganz? I find it quite effective...

Plus that stuff leading up to the Pilum is quite useful at times... specialy the defuser on titan when theres heaps of apm's and demopacks. works a treat

[spliffted]

the pilum takes out mines/demopacks? cool.. why oh why did i unlock that shitty AA gun. :(

[smegmacheese]

I havn't unlocked any guns yet, mainly because I don't have many =p. If you are starved for unlocks just unlock to the one below the gun. If you are in a 6 player squad where the leader is issuing orders should only be a few minutes before you get a field upgrade to use whatever gun.

This way you can be using two unlocked guns with only 6 unlocks really easily...

My zeller is my best friend :chuckle:

[Jamamio]

What I think would be a better way to get unlocks is by actually using a specific kit. At the moment I'm going through assault to get my unlocks, if I wanted I could keep doing it to get the unlocks for recon, support or engineer, without ever having to use these kits. I think, in order to get recon unlocks, you should have to play as recon, same for support and engineer.

As it is, I'm going to play how I think it should be played and use the kit to get the specific unlocks, as I think it will be the best way to get acquainted with the equipment supplied for each kit.

Best unlock = Lolermines
Best weapon = Spudnick
so says NZ's best

[spliffted]

and wtf is a Spudnik?

also what the hell is the Ocelot?

[Menial]

Ocelot is the jeep :P

[Fireblade]

All i say is the Lambet Carbine pawns any weapon. :heheh:

I can't aim for shit with the Lambert.

.........

.....

Oh wait i can't aim for shit with any of the guns. :disappoin

[spliffted]

What's the deal with the squad leader drone things? i'm confused as to what the little sentry robot does (the first one, i've heard the second drone is rather useless)

[devastar]

isnt it just a radar, lets you know where the enemy is

[Xt1ncT]

One's just a kind of UAV, which your squad members can see. THe other is a UAV and gun drone, and shoots at NME - lots of times I've been killed and the drone has killed the dude who killed me :rnr:

i find the drones a waste of time, all it does it make the squad leader easy to identify, i will always take out the guy with the drone buzzing around his head first, lol.

There is that I suppose.....I still like the one with the guns....you see I'm a shite aim, so I need all the extra help I can get

[Anaraith]

Wow that's a nice amount of unlocks there. I would personally go for the SL stuff. I find it useful to have them all.

[Hazard]

Yeah the drones give away your position, but the benefit is that you get legal wall hacks :P
Pros and cons I guess, but I find them very handy.

[Anaraith]

Heh, the support thingy is another legal wall hack :P Whats next? Walking through wall thingy?

[Simon_NZ]

um the voss owns shit

[Arnifix]

um the voss owns shit
Werd!

Did I say werd? Yes. Yes I did.

AA unlock is really sweet according to my flatmate (who better register here before he gets eaten by the washing machine). Proper explosive missiles, super good tracking, general mansecks goodness.

[spliffted]

Except that the AA gun is teh suck, because whileyou're busy with your head in the sky looking for something to shoot a tank/mech rolls up on you and you've got nothing to shoot them with. IMO the AA/AV gun should be combined, even though it might be a bit of an overkill...

Pilum AV ftw

plus i didn't find the SAW-AA easy to use at all, waste of an unlock i'd rather just jump on a mounted AA gun and still have the ability to take out ground vehicles.
