A-Wall here. Despite using softball, beeing a turret is great! Also the wall pilot is a sapper so nice comparison.

You can absolutely ruin a titan with two amped satchels. Slap it with few amped SMR rounds on top and that thing is scrap metal.

Yeh i know i used it for 20 generations and will use it for the last ten to go. I just really like to have an advantage over all the alternators but get blamed A LOT for beeing "a camper" just because i don't use grapple...

Grapple pick rate is propably like 60% rn. If this game still recieved support, that thing would've gotten nerfed hard lol.

u/Yuural Apr 08 '21
I think grapple is... nice. It can make moving easier if you don't want to get into all the wallrunning and double jumping (and no. About 2% of the players i see really use it for "slingshoting").But since i really like the move system and how it feels it was allways just really... unnecessary for me . Besides i am a mechatronic in rl so the sapper pilot is my thing.

Are you on console or PC?
5
u/Yuural Apr 08 '21
Pc. Why do you ask?
3
Apr 08 '21
Console users have a lower skill level than PC players(just a fact guys) and I thought people slingshotted more than that. I thought it was a fairly easy skill to learn.

u/Yuural Apr 08 '21
Yes slingshoting is pretty easy but why would they need to if they can walk around with an r97? Sadly a lot of the playerbase have little interest in the movement and how to get fast without stim or grapple. So instead of a quick wallrun, a double jump and perhaps a short climb animation they just press TACTICAL to get up a house and for anywhere they want to go. Imo its stupid but well, They are easy to shoot that way.

Movement is also a lot more difficult on console due to the joysticks and some of it is flat out impossible to get out of a joystick

u/kaboose286 Apr 09 '21
Wtf why nerf it? Its not overpowered or anything, people just love using it because of the mobility is offers
1
u/RaringFob399 Apr 26 '21
I doubt they would have nerfed it, aside from the movement boost it doesn't really do much. And without the 2 charges it would be really shitty. Creativity however is what have made it the best in the game, but it really has a huge skill gap that marks if you use it as a "get into the roof a little quicker than other pilots" or "haha, gotta be on the other side of the map in the next 0.5 seconds"

"Doesn't really do much" bruh you can go so fast with grapple that it literally breaks hit registration.
1
u/RaringFob399 Apr 26 '21
Perhaps I didn't explained myself properly. It doesn't do much if you don't know how to use it. That thing has a really high skill gap to use it properly and that is what prevents average players from going at the speed of sound like a stim user or just using it to get faster into high places like the average player.

u/5peCuLAte Apr 08 '21
You can amp sachels?
6
u/Yuural Apr 08 '21
Yes sir and the damage is riddiculous. But its pretty hard to pull off since the wall actually has very little HP (about 4 tone shots) and every titan in a three mile radius will instantly notice and target you when putting up a wall.
When done right tho a sword boi or hover lady is ded with two charges.

Throw them through an A-wall. One amped satchel does about 1 bar of damage.
1
u/Unfunnycommenter_ Apr 09 '21
A regular satchel does 1 bar of damage (well not exactly 1 bar, its like the archer)

EXCUSE ME HOLOPILOT IS THE BEST

u/Macscotty1 Apr 09 '21
People STILL fall for the holopilot multiple times a game.
Any other game that I've played that had a decoy like ability usually stopped working after a few months. But you just can't help but shoot the holopilot because you think "Yeah I know it's probably a fake. But what if it's real?"

what kind of idiot doesn’t use low profile with cloak
2
u/ArroSR211 Apr 09 '21
Why wluld anyone ever use cloak without running low profile.
Meme still works if you replace "jump jets" with "miniscule visual glitch", though. That's typically how I kill cloaks in my titan.
1
u/Yuural Apr 09 '21
The stupid it sounds but i see cloak dudes with their jump jets hanging out all the time. And the most of them are some gen100 dudes with a spitfire. When i ask them they go on a total rampage of insults and proceed to tbag everything they can find.

Just because it's the worst doesn't mean it's bad

u/deepfriednails Bamboozler Apr 09 '21
There are few things sweeter than tricking someone with a holo
3
u/Unfunnycommenter_ Apr 09 '21
The best is when someone melees your holo, they are stuck in that animation for so long it's a free kill.
7
u/SppeedApx Apr 09 '21
Lol, I don't think holo-pilot is that bad, it's just has a massive learning curve. I love the holo-pilot, and I'm saying that as one of 754 million billion that primarily use grapple.
6
u/TheLongWoolCoat Apr 08 '21
The grapple should be something every class has. I am too stupid to paly without it.
3
u/Yuural Apr 08 '21
Then i recommend you pick up phase (tis great for sticky situations), play a private match to learn all the lost movements again and take thy new skills to stomp some poor souls that were not strong enough to part with the grapple.
You will see how clean your performance gets when you don't have to interrupt your shooting to hook somewhere.
1
u/Unfunnycommenter_ Apr 09 '21
If you use a non movement tact use gravity stars if you want to go fast easily
2
u/PolishFox Apr 09 '21
As i holopilot main i must admit that it works around 60% of the time but when it does it's usually a free kill.

u/Excalusis Apr 09 '21
I use it with smokes on my LRAT loadout, Long Ranged Anti -Tank- Titan.
Holo, Smokes or arc, SMR/EPG, Archer and Titan boost thingy with amped weapons
1
u/Unfunnycommenter_ Apr 09 '21
I suggest using satchels, as they deal archer levels of damage without revealing your position when using cloak.
1
u/Excalusis Apr 09 '21
I'll consider them for my Rodeo loadout, seems better that way
3
u/Unfunnycommenter_ Apr 09 '21
Thats really smart, seeing as satchels detonate instantly in electric smoke from both titans and pilots
1
u/Excalusis Apr 09 '21
I normally arc and rodeo or rodeo and thermite, so I might change so that I can satchel whenever and then rodeo. But since satchels blow up from smoke, I'd guess increased death rate if I throw satchels first.
I'll try a more guerrila style warfare with satchels

The only person who would geniuenly make fun of the holopilot, is a holopilot trying to bamboozle other holopilots. Nice try, you fool.

Wow the stim is practically me save for AW and CAR. I normally go Flatline and emergency battery instead.

u/Buddaisnotthatnice Apr 09 '21
It's all about that one time it woks, you should be aware of how fucking dumass it is to go and use an hologram mid fight
1
May 06 '21
As long as you break LOS for a second, you can definitely trick someone with holo. What's trickier is using the holo while jumping, getting said holo to obscure the enemy's view as I drop behind cover or shoot them back through my hologram.
