HEY 343!!!

Step 1: Pick forge
Step 2: Use combat salvage
Step 3: Use Grizzley drop right after
Step 4: Look in front of your main base

This hasn’t been fixed yet…? Come on…

I thought they patched this! Is it still in the game?!

Oh oh! Aware me! What, do you get 6 Vet Grizzlies or something?

No you get Pelicans the permanently defend your base.

I’m going to test this tonight, I could’ve sworn they fixed it.

Happened to me during my last game. I recorded it on my Xbox, if you look me up and look at my recordings you’ll see it there.

Everybody complain about Forge’s non viability.
So that’s balance.

It doesn’t though. If it’s the same as before then they die incredibly quickly anyways. In any case they should fix him to make him good instead of leaving bugs to compensate.

I thought this was gong to be a joke about how you ended the game before you got the cooldown on grizzly drop back.

This is the clip. Holy, that’s brutal.

Sorry i swear i dont try to trigger this. If you ask most people who play against me they have not seen this happen. I know how to trigger it but choose not to.

There was a fix for pelican transports being combat salvaged, but not for the drop ships one. Money on it getting fixed now that people are calling it out.

This is wrong, you have to use combat salvage AFTER you call down the grizzlys. there is only a short window of time to do this.

I second this. Just tried it in a skirmish game and combat salvage after was the only one to work for me. Still. Neat dirty defense lol

Its a good defense but its pretty easy to avoid, in the game Jeff uploaded he didnt scout my base before sending his entire army there, i had two other bases that were completely undefended, my main base also had 4 anti air turrets. I also played a game right before this against him and beat him without this pelican glitch triggering.

I though this was fixed in a previous patch?

Do you use him in 1s? I have been struggling trying to make Forge work at the champion level in 1s. I sorta cheese with double flamer pump and pelican drop to the enemy main at 3:15. I take a power node while pumping and scrap a rax for a generator when I pelican over. I don’t have the intent to kill his base, just cripple his econ as going all in after the main bit me in the butt several times. But I can usually kill off his rax/camp upgraded extractor etc. Then I get tech 2 quickly and get thee forgehog out and hogs/wolves to deal with banshee and harass minis and expos. Eventually going into nightingales and vultures. But I still lose games around the 20 minute mark. I’m not bad at micro. I just get overwhelmed by banshees combined with hunters or even a cyclops and marine ball from Kinsano. Feeling super discouraged trying to make this leader work.

Feel free to look at my build orders for my last few losses.

Your build is very different from mine, i try to max out Forges economy advantage by getting the rolling economy leader powers ASAP then overwhelming the opponent at the 5-6 minute mark and getting map control while taking an expansion. Late game consists of vulture base raids whenever combat salvage is off cooldown. Other than the top tier players who are just plain better than me because of their mechanics, the only leaders i really feel i struggle with are Cutter and sometimes decimus depending on how he opens. I get forgehog out but dont rush him because you dont want to sacrifice economy to get forgehog out faster, hes not really going to do anything to pay for himself that early, at least thats from what ive seen.
