Am I the only one who runs right up to a mantis or scorpion and can never hijack it.
That and the -Yoink- splatter mechanic makes hijacking nearly impossible.
A few matches ago I boarded and killed at least 5 tanks… Honestly I think tanks and only a threat at very long range now
Its way too easy to board, these days. its not worth it to be in a vehicle anymore. Even H4 you had a chance and could get 20+ kills in a mantis.

Boarding was much easier in 4. You moved faster in vehicles and had better lines of site in previous games though and it was easier to stay out of peoples reach

Depends on the situation, I’ve had horrible spawns for vehicles like garages where you can get instant killed as soon as you try get out with a tank…never spawning with a tank in there again, the hijacking seems inconsistent since sometimes I’ve noticed it just seems to ignore the fact that I’m even trying to hijack the vehicles and eventually leads to my death because there’s literally nothing I can do if I fail to hijack certain vehicles within a short time.
I tend to just end up getting squashed by scorpion tanks when I attempt to plant a grenade on them. I don’t think the mechanics of hijacking are flawed though, I think that it’s simply a technique that needs mastering.

maybe you just suck because I think the hijacking mechanics are fine in this game, nothing seems too overpowered/unstoppable
I wonder Unsc/Oni didnt knew that these days one granade can destroy a damn Scorpion?
Or soemthing called EMP protection,or at least restart engine after Crtitcal emp error.
Dear 343i,really what’s the point giving us So many vehicles with extra armor(Oni/Ultras)but weak against plasmapistols and frag granades?It’s not like we don’t have Spartan laser,rockets,Railguns and omg Weapons wih kenetic bolts,everthing ok but stuff you can’t avoid no matter what you do(exept staying homebase and talk to marines)
If someone get’s boarded he has a chance of 98% to respawn 2% someone kills his hijacker before he can plant these sugar nade.
So why there is no emergency out+self destruct for every vehicle in danger…idk still trying to figure out why you decide to make vehicles fast food for footsoldiers(spezially the poor Mantis wich can boarded from every angel,a thruster with cooldown and splatter no way…)Unless you added tons of them to warzone and Req’s

I would say hijacking may just be a bit too easy. Seems i manage quite a few compared to how many times i try.
not only that when you try to board i always end up in the scorpion turret why does it give you the option to do that lol
There not hard you have to come up for behind and hit them with a big stick! Not a fan of bugs.
Proper timing and being sneaky are key. Even if you’re within close proximity to a vehicle, if you don’t hit it from the right angle, you run the risk of not having the option to hijack, or the operator will have time to react, and we all know how that goes.

Or this haha. There are very few REQs that I save up past 5, but the plasma pistol is a good way to take out AI and Spartan vehicles, even early on.

Void’s Tear though…
Regardless of if you can board a vehicle, disable it and make it get damaged…

I’ve yet to unlock any of these, but I believe I was hit by one yesterday and I had no clue what the hell was going on until I looked it up.
Hijacking is ok for me (Except when I’m on foot trying to out-maneuver a Ghost Ultra and holding the X button while looking the wrong way) But the Splatter Mechanics are just…bad. Can’t even thrust onto a tank without being killed by a splatter. I’ve lost many matches because of the splatter mechanics causing me to be unable to destroy vehicles.
I always laugh when people try and splatter with a Banshee. Like… why?
If you want to ruin somebody’s day or week, use Active Camo to stalk them so you can board them without any chance of retaliation.
Not really; The only time I have trouble is when trying to board a wraith or scorpion from the front, because for some reason the game is like “Oh, you clearly want to be in the turret.” -.-
