That makes no sense.
Why do the arms even factor into it?
I’ve seen enemies die from getting a Skewer bolt in their Energy Sword.
It doesn’t make it very unique if the feature doesn’t have much of an effect, and you have to use the gun like every other weapon for it to be useful.
Are you saying to look directly up and fire?
Wouldn’t that break the target locking?
If you mean to just aim above them, I already said I did that, and it didn’t work.
Hitboxes have different Damage Tolerences. You hit vital organs when hitting the torso, whereas the arms and legs are less vital. And to reward players that ambush from behind, you deal more damage on the backside hitboxes.
Turning on the tracker reduces the damage the missiles have per shot and reduces their speed, but with the benefit of tracking targets.
Turning off the tracker gives you faster and direct rockets that deal a little more damage.
No, just aim a little upward.
I didn’t know weapons were vital organs.
Also, I’ve never seen a weapon do more damage from behind.
Only melees with anything.
It’s not much of a benefit when it doesn’t track well and does less damage.
I’ve done that.
I wouldn’t be saying anything about the tracking if I hadn’t already tried things like that.
Play a custom with a friend to test it out.
The benefit is that you can be more evasive and not have to actually focus that much on the target. And due to the lower-velocity the micro-missiles have when in tracking mode, they deal less damage.
It is a balancing action.
Probably not going to happen.
Most of my friends are almost never online or never playing Infinite.
What’s the point of being able to be more evasive if you’re not doing enough damage, and you have to be close to enemies, which means your evasive moves won’t do much?
Also, I’m more evasive using it without the target lock than with it.
… the tracking rockets are for longer-range engagements. You don’t use the tracker for close-quarters engagements since the rockets move fast enough that you don’t have to lead with them.
When on larger maps, ranged weapons have an advantage. You can dodge the enemy’s inbound lines of fire while your missiles curve to meet them head-on.
Again, they don’t work well at long-range unless an enemy has no cover and isn’t moving much.
Also, I just checked, and you’re right about the Bulldog, it can kill in 2 shots.
However, I tried changing how I used the Hydra, and it didn’t help.
Eh.
At least I helped you with one gun.
Now onto the next one - The Ravager.
How to get good with The Ravager.
Answer:
Ravager sucks. Period.
I’ve actually been getting better with using the Ravager in ways other than close-range combat.
It’s still weak at long-range though.
But it is such a bad weapon.
Fully charged the shot and direct-hit someone? THEY GET TO LIVE FOR SOME REASON !
The burning fuel stuff is supposed to be Area Denial? NAH, JUST AREA ANNOYANCE SINCE YOU CAN JUST JUMP OVER THE PUDDLE OF BURNING.
And if you just happen to find yourself in it, it doesn’t even burn you that fast.
You could replace the Ravager with Halo 3’s Firebomb Grenades and it would be seen as the perfect upgrade.
It should probably have a larger area of effect.
A faster damage rate might help as well, but I’m not sure.
In close-range however, you just shoot one burst with it and melee.
Up close it is fun, but mid-and distant it is just… I would have more effect by yeeting a pineapple at the enemy.
If you have teammates nearby, it might be more effective.
Pineapples are overpowered though.
If only equipping the Psycheapple and Holiday Cheer chest-pieces changed how your grenades were textured and gave them some funny explosion effects.
It would be better if they added customization to grenades (and the non-UNSC weapons).
Soon.
Hey, how’d you post with only 5 characters?
Also, why would you say “Soon”?
Because I predict that more weapons and vehicles will be added to the list for us to colorize and customize. Dataminers have shown a more traditional Wraith design for example.
Secret Arrow.
I see.
Not sure what that is.
