For fun loadouts.

[-INSTANTloaf-]

I have a loadout I used to use on an alt that is a lot of fun! It goes like this:

Grenade launcher (normal)
Crossbow (rate of fire)

Winter Blast
Aero Dash

Speedy Hacker
Deadly Machines
Repairman

Its so much fun to grab the most advantageous Turret on the map then set up shop somewhere near it and take down anyone unfortunate enough to cross your path. The best part was when their whole team gangs up on you and the final survivor destroys the turret thinking the chaos is finally over, then you show up and repair it XD I've turned many matches into all out wars around the turret. Tons of fun

[xenonmicon]

I've seen that loadout except you were running something like this (if I remember correctly).
Grenade Launcher-Rate of Fire
Pistol-Auto Fire

Telekinesis
Aero Dash

Same tonics

I don't know if I'm right though.

You mean you saw me using that loadout? hrm...I don't recall ever using the pistol for more then I had to when it was all you have. Not my cup of tea

[xenonmicon]

Like I mention "if I remember correctly". I was running this and having a great time last night. Did fairly decent in cts despite some major nut huggin, rez using/suiciding, and nade spam.

Machine Gun-Firing Boost
Grenade Launcher-Rate of Fire/Vanilla

Electro Bolt (switched to Incinerate after two matches)
Telekinesis

Speedy Hacker
Deadly Machines
Metabolic Eve/Fast Feet

I seriously love the Tk Mg combo. Much easier for me to use than the rof crossbow. It seems my 3 main weapons are shotgun, machine gun, and grenade launcher. I can use those 3 very well.

Cause we all know that guns are overrated in shooters.

It would be you to say that Phly. The only time I ever got you consistently was with that bee loadout. If you were on the opposing team, I worked hard to avoid you. I knew if you jumped I was already dead.

[-INSTANTloaf-]

One fun thing I found that I really like to do is place "Fire traps" as I've dubbed them, anywhere you would normally place a geyser trap. Its loads of fun to see unsuspecting players walk through a door and suddenly become engulfed in flames. The best part is to do this while you watch from a far since they will undoubtedly begin to look for a player aiming incinerate at them. Then just as the flames are wearing off and they give up looking for the assailant, considering it to have been a random flame left from an encounter they did not witness, you make em taste the floor XD

On that note I wish it was possible to leave a bee trap....

[TheEpicFish]

Yeah, shooting Incin behind doors is pretty amusing.

[xenonmicon]

Was using this on my alt, it's nothing special. I just had a lot of fun using it.

Crossbow-RoF
Pistol-Ammo Cap

Telekinesis
Houdini(I will master this)

Metabolic Eve
Eve Saver
Fast Feet

What's up with all the rez users lately?

I thought this was for fun loadouts, not for troll loadouts.

[mister vwp]

Im working on a houdini loadout and I'd like some advice
I want it to kill fast, be sneaky and playable for a long time without going to vending machine
in the next post are 3 loadouts wich 1 do you think is the best?

[mister vwp]

wich of the following 3 loadouts do you think is the best:

loadout 1:
CB rof +SG rof
houdini + AD
leg up + eve saver + metabolic eve

loadout 2:
CB rof +NG Extended Cap
houdini + AD
ff+ leg up+ backstabber

loadout 3:
CB rof+ pistol Extended Cap
houdini+AD
leg up + eve saver + metabolic eve

my opinions:
loadout 1:
-good: 3 fast kills max before reloading, no need for vending machine, SG rof with houdini can be sneaky
-bad: constantly reloading,very bad against croups

loadout 2:
-good: infinte fast kills max before reloading, backstabber=sneaky
-bad: need for vending machine, constantly short of eve

loadout 3:
-good: 3 fast kills max before reloading, no need for vending machine,
-bad: constantly reloading, no sneaky

[Bladia]

I'd go with loadout 1. that ROF shotty is a beast if your up against headshotters face to face, and cb is for the long range, so yeah.

but one thing tho... I would take away the metabolic eve and put fast feet instead... So you can close the distance between you and your opponents faster.

thx Ill go for that 1 for a while then

[xenonmicon]

Leave in metabolic eve and take out Leg Up and exchange it with Fast Feet. Meta can give you just enough eve when you need it.

[Bladia]

yeah, but it takes a while to replenish. If your in the heat of battle, it can actually become more of a burden than a helper. (maybe it'll be useful for Houdini because it doesn't need a certain amount of eve to be used)

But IMO, Leg Up is better. Grants you a quick getaway, grants you the ability to reach farther/higher places faster and if you are an expert "jumper" you become a near impossible target to hit

Yo.

[slowdive]

Yo.

Yeah I've come to the conclusion that people that can jump well are the best players, mainly because they are hard to kill. Most of them aren't great shots.

[brutalXbarbie]

I thought this was for fun loadouts, not for troll loadouts.

meh people will play whatever they want, and if GL is a troll tool i know a few people who need the speech on it more than me.
as I don't use it. and it can be a fun loadout i didn't know you wrote the definition of fun. as for trolling, lol well here yo....nvm

[mister vwp]

the winning houdini loadout was:

CB rof
SG rof

houdini
AD

Leg up
eve saver
metabolic eve

alot of fun
until you run in to box spamming GL users

PS: matabloic eve with eve saver is epic!

[xenonmicon]

Yes, someone who agree's with me. It just seems to always help when you need it the most.

[Daddy Is Strong!]

Phly, Cranberry, V999, (When he isn't being a Douche.) Fish, And Blad all say "Hi".

I'd put myself on there, but I hardly feel like going full out impressive shots anymore. Effectiveness vs flashyness and all.

That list are the people I consider to be the best players, except for v999 and cranberry lord. I played them both recently and they didn't seem as tough to kill as they used to be. Cranberrylord has always been good at captures though.

Yeah, Cran has been following my phillo' of not trying too hard for no reason. Since he'd be too into the game and such, it'd effect his playstyle. He's much more mellow then before.

Not sure about V999, Maybe Cran told him the same. I have been noticing some players being more 'laxed for the most part.

[TheEpicFish]

Hi. /mod pls dnt kill me i tht this was funnyyyyy

[PhlyPinoy]

I don't try anymore. I don't really care much for winning, as much as I did in the past. I'm more concerned for perfecting playstyles, decreasing all superfluous, movements and actions, mitigating all weaknesses and decreasing amount of effort needed to achieve the same result.


The ability to dodge, is more or less set to automatic at this point.

[xenonmicon]

I think I'm in the same boat as Phly. I'm mostly working on efficiency and skill. Trying to debug my playstyle. I don't always (or hardly) win matches. I'm more concerned about coming out in the positive. I try for the most part to run the same loadout everyday. This way I spend a lot of time using the same weapons and tactics. I'm finally getting used to the AK loadout. Figuring out how best to use it.

I'm pretty doing the same, less flashly more effective. It's working well, I still do all headshot or something when I feel like it.

I need to work on my Double jumping.

[BrutalMugen]

Aside from groupers, jumpers are the only people I approve of using grenades against. Simply because a good enough jumper is near impossible to hit with "accuracy" weapons unless you stun/freeze them. I still am not using the GL anymore though. I'm finding myself more drawn to my CB rof loadout and my Houdini loadout. I havn't really touched my headshot loadout in a while. Mishi has gotten a lot better then me at headshots now lol. I suck with the EG and she can no stun with it. I agree that it seems like the only way to rise above typical high level player skill (being good at headshots and TK) is to become good at mobility. I'm really good with houdini when I use it but I'm still no jumper (even removed it form my loadouts) Ah well I guess Ill just be that one guy stuck on the ground taking out the jumpers while his teammates are gettin whooped by em trying to imitate them.

[mister vwp]

step 1 go to a sotf match
step 2 ask al high players to only use pitsol and AD and to not take the BD suite
step 3 if everybody follows those rules enjoy the matches they are fun

[xenonmicon]

That's like something me and Bladia often do. Go into sotf with nothing more than one weapons and plasmid. Just to see who comes out on top (better score). It very fun to challenge yourself like this.

Just be patient with shots. Most people who jump early on have twitch-aim syndrome. They can't aim as well from the extra movement. I would now, I still have my moments. Aiming and accounting for a lot of movement takes a lot of mental strain. Jumping patterns usually have a very predictable arc. Once you know it, quite exploitable.

[BlaneTheMono]

Lately I've been using incinerate with the ammo capacity pistol with the rest of the selections just being random. I can honestly say I love it. I'll have to thank the noob who told me that I'd be nothing without my crossbow, truly inspired me... Though it isn't as effective against boxspammers >.<

[xenonmicon]

I've been messing around with damage increase pistol in my TK loadout. While not as fast as the rof crossbow, it's a bit more forgiving when it comes to missed shots. I like the sound it makes.

[xenonmicon]

PDI Loadout

Pistol-Damage Increase
Machine Gun-Firing Boost

Telekinesis
Houdini

Metabolic Eve
Eve Saver
Fast Feet

Just goofing around with this. Mostly I like the thought of getting two possible kills before needing to reload. With a tk hit I can get two shots off with the pistol, the the third is not too hard to land.

[xenonmicon]

The Challenge Loadout. I think I'm going to run this next time I'm on, just to give myself a challenge.

Machine Gun-firing boost

Winter Blast

Eve Saver
Fast Feet

No secondary weapon or plasmid. Just trying to win based solely on skills. Saw a friend do this today with nothing but geyser trap and ammo cap pistol. Might try this with the GL.

Grenade Launcher-rate of fire

Incinerate

Eve Saver
Fast Feet

I'd have to nut hug vending machines though. Still it would be a challenge to try and win a sotf match with this.

[PhlyPinoy]

I've been running backstabber, as of late.

Crossbow (Rate of fire)/Machine Gun (Firing Boost/Extended Magazine)/Elephant Gun (Slug Capacity)
Shotgun (Rate of fire/Automatic Reload/Sawed off)
Houdini
Aero Dash/Winter Blast
Eve Saver/Leg Up/Expert Researcher
Fastfeet
Backstabber

Become quite adept at the novelty of it. Here's quite a few variants. Seems like Eve saver prioritizes Leg up in most cases. Machine gun is best left off for clean up. Fast Feet is generally needed, unless you are really good at prediction. Expert Researcher for Shotgun (Sawed off) with Machine gun variant. I usually do very well with any houdini loadout. Seems to fit my playstyle.

[xenonmicon]

"No-Stun" Crossbow Loadout

Crossbow-Rate of Fire
Machine Gun-Firing Boost

Houdini
Aero Dash

Eve Saver
Leg Up
Fast Feet

Mostly I try to get behind people, corner them, or get them to empty their clip. Make it easier to kill em. Really is difficult to use without a stun. I like it though. I can typically take out 3 people with this. Not a group loadout. It's something I want to get good with. Seems like an uncommon loadout.
