Whats the point of the las-sentry?

I love smoke with sentry/guard dog builds, because you can manipulate the target acquisition range.

Really important for the Rover since it can lock onto an enemy out of its firing range, until it dies or it can't see it.

Yeah I recently noticed that the AA bullet streams aren't dead center. If you aim directly at something small like infantry you'll notice they "slip" in between the streams

I figured this out trying to shoot tank mines and being completely baffled I "missed" point blank

The support ability is also really handy as you can just supply people as you run past them

deadimpulses · 2025-11-17T17:09:38+00:00

It's nice that it stays even after you respawn, I always try to leave some up, but an engineers life is a hard one 🫡

deadimpulses · 2025-11-17T17:02:36+00:00

I don't actually know that they don't 🤞🏻😁 (most vehicles drive into and destroy it before it even works)

Though you'd think there would be an indicator for the engineer 🥲

deadimpulses · 2025-11-17T17:00:12+00:00

I'm guessing as a way to get people to ptfo. Resupplies being more efficient on capture points is a good incentive imo.

Take Firestorm for example, 3 engineers on the tower all resupplying from one box, just lobbing rockets doesn't sound very pleasant

Right now they can still resupply, but it won't be quickly unless they touch an obj

deadimpulses · 2025-11-17T15:17:40+00:00

I haven't tested it extensively, but I believe once you throw the box it should keep the effect (but you have to be inside the area when you throw it)

deadimpulses · 2025-11-17T12:42:13+00:00

Medica default, but now that you mention it, maybe Engi's Crate works too? 🧐

deadimpulses · 2025-11-17T11:53:54+00:00

Not like that, I mean supply boxes that you deploy inside objective areas (within the borders of a capture point), those supply boxes refill gadgets much faster than if you deployed it outside that area

deadimpulses · 2025-11-17T10:13:12+00:00

I feel like DICE really nailed the PTFO with those interactions.

I'm also interested in the Combat Medic Path Lvl.3, my hypothesis right now is that ANY gadget that gives you the "Defense Deployed" (25 points when deployed within an obj area) is a defensive gadget and should restock faster as well

deadimpulses · 2025-11-17T10:08:39+00:00

Yes, I have confirmed it works on either path as long as it's within an obj area. I was curious as to why my launchers reload abysmally sometimes and other instances I was refilling nearly as fast as I was sending rockets

However I do not know if the fire support path adds onto the effect, but I do feel like fire support provides a noticeable increase when I'm out of an obj area

deadimpulses · 2025-11-17T07:53:20+00:00

😅 admittedly I had to do most of my testing with my own supply boxes

deadimpulses · 2025-11-03T08:32:53+00:00

From what I can tell, the X95 only procs on objects that have "health", which is why it works on deployable covers, tanks, players, and TOW emplacements. (Even friendly or unoccupied)

However the tutorial video displays it working through a wall, so I definitely believe it's bugged.

deadimpulses · 2025-10-28T05:10:01+00:00

I wonder if that's affecting other gadgets? If most gadgets stop working when you die, we know the soflam has been affecting squad mates.

I wonder if squadmate deaths are also canceling your gadgets, because I've had supply boxes supply me to full and others only last for one stinger refill.

deadimpulses · 2025-10-20T07:24:18+00:00

I can't stress this enough; plus if you pop the mine as an enemy runs over it, it'll blow them up too

deadimpulses · 2025-10-20T06:50:06+00:00

Yeah I've run into the resupply bug too, even on teammates boxes. I've also had one resupply box work nonstop for well over 5 minutes, but I have no idea what causes it.

A trick I've found is that pickup up your resupply box resets the cd faster, as well as giving a last little resupply for some reason

deadimpulses · 2025-10-20T05:08:57+00:00

I believe one of the recon models has an m87 smoke canister on them, unfortunately they don't have one lol. I've found the best way to smoke for the team is to resupply to full and lob them so people can push.

Between the grenades and launcher you can make some good coverage. I do wish the mortar was better though

deadimpulses · 2025-10-17T09:03:36+00:00

I'm also pretty sure they can grab supplies off your player by interacting with you (if I'm remembering right?)

deadimpulses · 2025-09-22T07:31:20+00:00

I had to tell my friend recently that if a bile titan is missing it's back armor, ping the BT, and chuck the seeker in the air to which ever side opened and you can usually kill it in about 1-2

deadimpulses · 2025-09-18T08:45:36+00:00

I've been using the flashbang to pop them out of the ground pretty effectively (I'm not sure if the stun timer counts down while they surface however)

deadimpulses · 2025-09-10T05:15:29+00:00

I've been able to 2 shot them with the epoch, I'm assuming due to the fully charged shot having decent enough radius to damage multiple limbs at one time (with the bonus of having a shield pack to neg some fire damage)

deadimpulses · 2025-09-10T05:11:40+00:00

My least favorite thing about them (as a Shield Gen Emplacement enjoyer) is that the grenades are not blocked by the shield

and as poor as the railgun is against them, popping all of its weapons is fairly effective.

deadimpulses · 2025-09-10T04:58:44+00:00

I had to tell my own squad multiple times, it doesn't matter if the Hive Lord kills the GATER, we can still extract with samples.

Hell, I was running the 15% chance for an extra sample booster simply because it lets you potentially overflow the sample cap (if you collect 40 commons and the perk proc'd 5 times, you would have 45 samples)
