Title: Hardest weapon to use in Hs1
Post by: toastisgood on August 24, 2008, 06:00:21 pm
Methinks Psaw.Some people would say Rifle because they unload a whole goddamn clip on a dretch,NEVER hitting it.

Try firing the rifle in short, contrlled bursts of three to five bullets, instead of emptying the entire clip at once.

I vote chain, as with no BS you have the choice of no dodging or no aiming.

the chaingun's recoil effect, while annoying to new players, has little effect on your aim (the shaking is only visual, but it does push your aim upward very slightly) and is easy to ignore with a little practice. i'd still vote chaingun because it costs more than twice as much as a shotgun and is only marginally better without the helmet to back it up (unless you're defending your base against tyrants).

Try firing the rifle in short, controlled bursts of three to five bullets, instead of emptying the entire clip at once.
That's exactly what i do! :)

chain at s1 because dretches are hard to hit without crouching which makes you vulnerable.

I vote for the cKit.
when you join a team as a builder at the beginning, it is very important how you estimate the power balance of the teams, and the chances of a possible successful move.

Post by: doomagent13 on August 24, 2008, 09:43:12 pm
You would be surprised how easy it can be to keep a chaingun on target.  Due to the way the shaking is randomized, it mostly cancels itself out.

@amz181
If you are ever using a chaingun on dretches, you are either (A) unlucky/in a bad situation or (B) stupid.

Anyway, the hardest weapon is the ckit.  How do you shoot the aliens with it?

The hardest weapon to use on s1 is a mass driver because you get one shot per second and it only does 41 damage so it takes 5 seconds to kill a dragoon and you can only kill one dretch per second making killing three of them impossible.

Post by: Dracone on August 25, 2008, 01:14:36 pm
38 damage actually...just 1 extra second by what you say.

But wtf, is this not obvious? IT IS LUCIFER CANNON MANZ!

Sherlock Holmes, wish what is the name of the thread, then watch the answer of our friend dracone, so he meant that the hardest weapon to use in S1 is the lucifer just because you cant even get it.

MD in hs1 is a lot harder beacuse if a dretch gets up next to you and you miss you're screwed.

As much as I'd like to think so, I don't believe the ckit qualifies as a weapon.

I vote painsaw (or I would if the poll hadn't already closed). It requires you to serve yourself up to the aliens before it let's you so much as damage them. With nothing protecting your head, it's suicide for even most experienced players.

I'm not taking into account the ability to damage the alien base as they are all quite effective against immobile targets in thier own way.

I receive lots of fail from the ckit users. I guess it is the hardest weapon to use
Title: Re: Hardest weapon to use in Hs1

I would have to confess that I enjoy the p-saw. So I'll go with the blaster, for DPS reasons.
Title: Re: Hardest weapon to use in Hs1

I would say basilisk claw. It's hard to use with no bsuit.  ::)

Meh.  I recall a metric fuckton of times where Ozzy's successfully saw-rushed the OM with no helmet.  But then, he's a bastard like that.

Being able to Painsaw the Overmind without a Helmet proves nothing but the stupidity of the Aliens.

Indeed.  Which is why he'd always rush when the few competent people were away on offense. :D

in my opinion its md, depending on map you might not be in an area that is protected by turrets, or covered by teammates while using it.  If you die thats 350 creds down the drain, (2 dretch kills).  The slow refire rate coupled with low ammo means it makes attacking multiple skilled enemies difficult, and if friendly fire is on 1 headshot coupled with bleeders means a lot of creds down the drain.

I prefer to use only rifle/shotgun/painsaw for s1 to conserve creds

I've changed my mind. Granger is a harder weapon to use when the humans are stage 1. Closest I came involved one AFK human, a ledge and a whole lot of shoving.
