    Deadly Machines. Do you use it or not?

    I post this to see how many of us use it and why. I'm quite fond of it myself as I like to use it in team modes. Especially if the sister is in an area where a turret is placed. Anyone else use it besides me? And why?

    I used to use DM frequently in my early days in combo with speedy hacker (that was also back in the days when I played TAG exclusively). But I've passed the hacking torch, and these days I don't hack machines nearly as often as I used to. Even when playing solo these days I prefer to kill the turrets rather than hack them, for the most part. I think a big part of the change in my playstyle is that I try to dominate more of the map than I used to and take on enemies more than I used to, and often times if I have a turret hacked it'll kill me while I'm trying to kill an enemy. Turrets are more of a nuisance to me these days than an asset.

    To elaborate on my change in playstyle... These days I try to play a less supportive role than I used to... Sometimes it works, sometimes not... :/

    I used to, I think I might resurrect my old turret loadout, it was tons of fun Deadly machines, in combination with damage bonus is awesomely effective. Throw a grenade launcher + Incinerate into the mix and you can crowd control a room against a whole team easy

    If there were more loadouts, I'd probably use it, but I'm already stretched too thin in-game with only three.

    ohh yes i was the first to use no stun headshots so everyone was stealing my idea na jk but i did start doing it from ever since i unlocked the cb. I did notice a change in how quickly piercing bolt kills. I think i remember i used to be able to kill in 1 headshot with it with headhunter ofcourse now it takes atleast 2 shots. Idk. maybe i was luck all those times and the people i shot with it were at half health or something but I did it too often for it to be a coincidence.

    Depends if my team has enough killing potential. Better to work as support in those cases. This helps optimize the team's overall killing power. Deadly machines is usually replaced for repairman versus the turret breakers (You know who you are).

    On a side note, I made slugger mainstream. Not that it's used properly, to my knowledge. Other then Lance, I don't really see anyone using it practically. In most cases it is used for sheer novelty. A bit disappointing. And no, this doesn't include using it verses newbies without stun aids.

    I swear, I haven't used Deadly Machines even once. I need to equip and use this sometimes... What does it do? does it double the damage of the turret or something?

    It doubles the turret ROF, meaning they'll be shooting like even more annoying ☺☺☺☺.

    I.E. Rocket Turret will be firing one rocket every second.

    It doubles the rate of fire and with a damage bonus, kills quicker. My combo with this is to camp the turret (machine guns the best one) use incinerate and the grenade launcher. I've racked up massive kill counts in cts this way. Certain maps are better for this than other, it just depends on the map you play.

    Xen. I think we need to organize our loadouts. I know we tried the one combo that didn't work, but I have some new ideas for team play. We would have to group to use the combos, but I think we could easily run a game against some of the best players when they are stacked.

    Yes, Fish, you debuted and mainstreamed Box Spamming. credit where credit is due.


    VD gets credit for the first to mainstream inefficient loadouts, efficiently. Also credit where credit is due. Happy? Yes, it took years to come out of these hands, but you deserve it.


    Looks like we are having a war on new trends in Bioshock, huh?

    Is... Is that recognition?

    I think I need some help. This water-based liquid won't stop coming out of my eyes. Oh God, what's happening. Can fishes even do this. Oh. Oh no. Salt. SALT. Freshwat-aslkfjkajflajdflljlsjf.


    But in all truthfulness, I only stated what I had under my belt as a joke. Thanks though, Original Little Sister Jumper.

    I don't hack very much in sotf. If I do, I do it to know if someone's in my area. I mostly hack in team based modes. I've even considered running Security Evasion in my sotf loadout, just to get away from turrets.
