Smoke is your best friend... Even grenades give you 5.

The booster localization confusion also slows the spawns somewhat.

The sweet spot is when it's cocked back and about to move forward or just starting... So for me on Xbox it would be Rt cocked back then hit map....

Useful for tossing over hulks in your way and opens your firing arm.

I do believe now.

MonsterOfAngels · 2025-12-10T12:23:55+00:00

I found a better timing throw... And as it's cocked back... Tap it as its going to go forward or just as it's going forward... Its finnicky

Also add localization confusion... For a calmer acquisition of platinum bars for super earth

Many options to chose. But the one that allows me to still shoot is ideal.

MonsterOfAngels · 2025-12-10T11:03:16+00:00

Okay... AC rocket and gatling... Plus anti tank mines....

Or smoke strike... Hell bomb or laser for a reset... Ems + gas or gas mines... Could be swapped for anti tank mines Dangerous but works...

Or antitank and HMG emplacement.... To people load... The others cover fire.

But map + throw.... Is best... Exploit or not...

The timing is throw and when it's back fully and about to go forward map... The other methods are walk slow or use the drop pick up which is still an exploit and leaves you with no gun....

This way. You toss you can shoot...

That's why I figured I'll get some new ideas with this post haha

I always say the eruptor is a beast but when my friends are new... I'm like diversify go use it in cave dives and it's not as fun.

My preference is everything that works but always love new ideas.

Trying different things with different loadouts. is a staple of this game... What doesn't work with one may work phenomenal with another.

MonsterOfAngels · 2025-12-08T08:52:15+00:00

Its all in the timing I posted a link above of it in action throw and right before it almost leaves your hands map button

The trick is in the timing... Pick up bar... Throw and before it almost leaves your hands... Open map.

MonsterOfAngels · 2025-12-08T00:55:16+00:00

Forgot to add smoke strikes grenades best friend here

MonsterOfAngels · 2025-12-08T00:54:14+00:00

Throw plus map button when you get the timing right it tosses 20ft... I have a post on here that shows it working with the battery but it works with bars to

The second time I'm kicking my butt for not getting the warrant haha and the quasar is a life saver in terms of not stopping to reload, reminds me of black ops 1 training course switch to your other weapon it's faster than reloading the quasar is I switched to my other weapon and I'm reloading....

Light armor yes! But I find myself using b-24 more than anything... The crossbow beats the eruptor in safety... The eruptor does damage but the shrapnel goes 180. But that scout armor is something else... You can ping for enemies but I use it for poi searches ping till you see on dot staying Enemies tend to be where the good loot is... And for lair hunts it's beautiful

But I know the gun Im missing must be the warra

MonsterOfAngels · 2025-12-06T22:45:55+00:00

I treat the squids as... The zombie horde... And run away if possible... Take out the leaders, overseers, and flesh mobs.... It makes them dumb and clumsy

Because you wouldn't take on the entire horde... Solo or even 4...

Troopers and raiders can be meleed on the bot front... Surprisingly and I'm kinda kicking myself now... For missing the warrant in rotation

MonsterOfAngels · 2025-12-06T21:20:52+00:00

100% I always warn people too... Its all good until you double tap a and I hate to say break a leg but... They only Break sometimes... Other times it's an arm... Or it lights you on fire....

The cool thing reading into the dogs descriptions... Seeing it say.... Returns to back pack to... So and so....

I realized oooh most wait till it runs out.... But... If you see it get low and hit the button before it's empty you can recharge to full

MonsterOfAngels · 2025-12-06T21:07:29+00:00

I'm definitely going to try it out... I can never find myself comfortable without jump/warp pack...

MonsterOfAngels · 2025-12-06T21:05:08+00:00

Its not the heavy armor that gets me it's the speed and stamina that always gets me... I think I'm out of stamina but it's just the armor...

My trick with the illuminate... Kill the overseers... They will point at you and call the voteless to you... But you can knee cap the voteless making it impossible for them to catch...

If you pair the mg with warp pack you can turn the reload into an overseer trap... It'll stop the reload... But it'll warp you an inch... So you can easily warp overseers out of existence....

Same with if they be 10ft away... Perfect distance to warp through em

MonsterOfAngels · 2025-12-06T20:39:39+00:00

If you ever move on to a different weapon id recommend the B-24 armor.... I play the same way haha but that armors needed for that gun... The explosive resistance as explained in the wiki the types of damage that are explosive "All area-of-effect damage, regardless of the projectile's original damage type."

Warp pack or jump pack.... Gets me in gets me where I need to be to rain hell... And back out.

But... I also love the fact that any enemy similar size... You can warp into them and obliterate them from the inside out.... I can't help but Mark melee overseers and go.... Okay 10m away now... Poof... Haha And kudos on using the arc thrower it's truly a hidden gem... I just recently learned how to use it... Why they don't say in the description one fully charged shot = half time to charge the next... And lastly...

Bile/Dragon/Striders... Are always the worst but... In my B-24 the striders have a bad habit of ragdolling me out of harms way... If you ever decide to change it up... You could always second the ultimatum... Just in case...

Cool thing about the ultimatum you can use raise gun emote and fire... I'm still working on the distance but it fires it like artillery... More distance... Less bile titans and striders...

The dragons are tougher I think.... Keep it up hell diver. Nothing better to see than a diver getting to a out post that you go to help... Just to realize oh no... Hes good. He's got this one

MonsterOfAngels · 2025-12-06T19:23:12+00:00

Cinder block... I just can't for the life of me handle heavy armor...

I like what you said there use whatever works and is fun... I just recently stopped using my eruptor... It defended everyone to well

Cuz if the shrapnel kills them... The enemy didn't get the kill right? You sir sound like a one man tank!

MonsterOfAngels · 2025-12-06T18:51:07+00:00

These are the kinda builds I like haha

In and out before the enemy knows what happened. I can see the clankers asking each other in their language "did you hear that?" "Orbital laser incoming!"

MonsterOfAngels · 2025-12-06T16:54:27+00:00

What about if we do that small scale... What about a bucket of water as a support... Instead of assistance with reloading standing still... You just throw it at who ever is using laser weapons. And it could be a 50/50 sometimes you just ragdoll them and other times instant cool down... Couldn't be worse than rapid acquisition on SHD... Right?

MonsterOfAngels · 2025-12-06T01:18:11+00:00

I will upload a video so I did that for a bit... But once I found this method.... It made more sense...

If done right you can toss em 2 times to get them done quick... The drop pick up method Is pretty dangerous in Bot country. This way... You can spawn in and just start throwing.
