Technique

[legacy-x_djs_x]

Do you guys have any unique techniques that you use in UC2? Particularly in Survival. If you're willing to share I'm interested in knowing what you do to win (if you're willing to share of course :)) Some of mine are...

1) {Devastation} Attacking with charged up Stinger and Head Turret active. They can try to reflect, but with two things going at once you're very likely to get the kill.

2) {Raiden} Jumping, charging up the 3-shot rocket fire, and teleporting behind the grounded player, firing where they can't see you almost immediately. (Unfortunetly you have to be lined up perfectly with them or you'll miss after the teleport).

3) {Anubis/Sobek/Selket} Using the flack cannon, turn on Repulse and shoot the primary flak fire at the enemy continuously. Them reflecting won't hit you if you're far away (due to Repulse) so eventually you'll get some nice hits in.

4) {Garek} Going for the two (or even three) poison attack. Get up close, lay poison cloud, shoot poisonous mist from the bio rifle, and if time find a way to hit them with charged up pistols. Works awesome with U-damage.

Thats all I can think of for now, share if you'd like or comment on these.

Brock/Callipso-If your desperate for the kill and willing to lose adreniline
Load three rockets on a reflecter and just before they shoot, press X R to shoot a fear, so they reflect the fear at you but the three rockets connect.

NE BODY- If your a regular rocket user and arent big on energy weapons, turn your sensitivity a lil over 3/4 the way up. This way you can watch your back, and escape(using the higher melee dash) easily, and if your like me, get better aim.

Ha ha, that Devestation technique sounds pretty Devestating (pun intended [face_silly] ) I've played against CastleKingSide in Survival and that guy is crazy good with the Stinger. I've been known to abuse the Nimble / Stinger combination myself against opponents beneath me.

When teleporting behind someone with Raiden, you need to have a lock-on, correct? I'm not a big Repulse user myself since my experience with this ability has yielded less than favorable results - but the Flak Cannon in the right hands can be lethal. Also, Garek's Poison abilities will frustrate players to no-end, but kinda useless in Survival.

Whenever playing with Malcolm, I make an effort to time Adrenaline Pick-Ups and U-Damage around the same time and pull a little Homing and Sentinel at the same time. Anything amplified with the U-Damage is a beautiful thing. Even though I rarely use the Juggys much, I'll throw on some Earthquake with the U-Damage on small maps like Fury. Instant laughter will ensue.

Also, for a grand finale - choose Raptor or Syzygy, and pull a Self-Destruct during Survival, just to piss-off the other opponent.

[legacy-onenation]

It's not all that hot, but one of favs is energy burst on U-Damage.

[legacy-Delusion_Girl]

Yay! A thread finally about the GAME and not the idiots who play it :-)

Well I decided to get good with Lauren a while back, and at first I thought Siphon was a pretty lame ability since she also has wraith/vampire etc.
But anyway, I don't think its lame at all now, infact its great.. E.g. I am fighting one person and I get their health pretty low, I send Siphon off after them to finish them off and start on another person behind me.

Orrr I watch a fight going on, and wait for the persn standing (who usually has little health), I send a Siphon after him hehe. It's so funny hearing people scream cos they can't do much about it (usually).

Oh yeh, and Siphon against light characters with U-damage heheh.

[legacy-Acid_2_140bpm]

[face_applause] Stating the obvious.

[legacy-ssssupermario92]

Slazor:Just melee everyone to win,when I get full adreniline,I use Predator to boost the power,and Speed to go faster so people don't make a quick get a way.

Sapphire:same as above,when i get full adreniline,I get up close to some one and use "Ice Burst" to get a free Coup De Grace.

Malcome:I just use guns[face_applause] and sometimes use melee(not alot though)The only 2 guns i use for him is the Bio Rifle and The Rockets,and when I get full adrenaline,I use Homing,mainly for the BioRifle.
I know,its been weeks since I used guns more than melee for Malcome[face_dancing]

[legacy-ShredPrince2]

Vampire=Siphon
Sentinel=Homing.


I gues my thing is not that obscure of on idea...it's simple but effective.

If I'm out of ammo, and am in a melle situation, since I now basically BLOW with melle, I use a perfectly place Heavy attack with immidiadte energy burst...If the heavy attack does'nt finish them then the Eburst certainly will.I can't remeber anyone surviving this.

Kill or be killed.

[legacy-JDOG]

Raiden teleport with goo or shoot a shock core teleport then detonate core with the primary that would be a cool montage clip. Goo can be hard to use cause it can be blown up so easily though I don't see that many people tryin to blow it up even though aa pistol shot will do the job. Shock can be a lil' hard when other people are shocking esp. if they spam primary. Another strategy is just practice with weapons and get good w/ em pick out two weapons and a character and use em. Get good and go back again. Sometimes I'll play 8 Godlike bots in weapon master to get good with the weapons or at least to use em all cause it is fun. Brock whore out the wraith. Use wraith cause some people depend on lock to melee, kill, and find, this will severely stint and stop most weaker players and even better players game. Get good at ranged combat stay in the shadows and learn how to make dist. shots. Learn how to surprise people. Run around a corner and lead some dude behind you to think you are just gonna keep running but stall out right around the edge where he can't see you let him run by then ambush. Fav weapon is shock cause it is hard to reject then goo rock rip nades love snipe but it can be rejected alot. it is a good dm weapon. Stinger is a good gun but uhh.. flak is ok but it s not weapon of choice. If you get udd with malcom esp. on solar flare have full adrenaline. turn on homing get full adrenaline pickup and wait to use homing a second time. Best homing weapons are nades, secondary/primary flak, rip jack, bio, then shock cores. if you use goo shoot from higher ground and lock on but don't aim at the opponent but as high in the air as possible as bio has short distance and speed homing will give it the speed burst and continued velocity to make it to the player. Get good at smackdowns rejections wall jumps and dodging. Get to where you can just dodge weapons and not even shoot. this will be hard with better players as they predict your movements like miss cleo but oh yeah tip # 1000 stay alive win and don't get hurt heard seen or hit. trash talk and taunt cause it'll get on peoples nerves--I hate taunters esp. viscous girl and weaponmaster_21 I like weapon master but he is a taunt addict so is callisto. It is whatever. I just do not think taunting is too much cool. Take your time on some shots and spam sometimes play more often develop a style adn peace.

My Eyes![face_shock]

[legacy-Alckatras]

Flak Cannon ... try it, it works. I picked up the technique when reading the manual.

[legacy-ra1n]

If you are nakthi or raiden its excelent to start attacks with freeze technique. With Necris characters freezes do significant DoT to human type light character opponents. Combo the nano black freeze with a siphon right b4 you freeze them. If both things are reflected back the necris user gains life. And siphon can't be sheilded.

Calypso and brock are awsome for CDG's mainly b/c of the fear b4 freeze technique. Both are homing shots, but the fear needs to hit first otherwise it unfreezes them. :D Mastermans sometimes saved my life and *****ed my CDG's out from underme with his elite fearage.

Raiden is my new found hope for this game. All of his abilities are great. The least used is stun trap but it doesnt mean it's not effective. I find just using Heal Warrior spirit and speed makes him pretty effective. Warrior spirit makes him the speed of a light character. So if i want more control rather than sprint i use that ability. I only use right trigger if im using rocket. But i like raiden as a grenade user. haha.

My most recent technique i've used against someone dashing at me is planting 2 land mines at my feet locking on teleporting as they take off... then switching to melee as they land over my mines. *boom* I can dash or pounce or whatever after that. Against a heavy i'll normally go to my shock and get a combo to finish it off. Mediums really dont live after landing on 2 mines. Pistols work nice then :D and piss em off 2.

Freezing constantly for placement is excelent. Freeze at least one person in a crowd to draw aggro away from you. :) If people chase u... freeze em and run away. Seriously i do this sometimes and dont have a frag till like 3 min into the match. But everyone's fingers are significantly more tired b/c of trying to get out of the freezes constantly. I've wasted all my pistol ammo and landed all of my freezes on one target. After that the guy couldnt even try to get outa my CDG's. Charging ur pistols sometimes makes people charge at you with your sheild but take this time to plot out a sittuation where they have to block so they run out of sheild.

[legacy-ra1n]

4) {Garek} Going for the two (or even three) poison attack. Get up close, lay poison cloud, shoot poisonous mist from the bio rifle, and if time find a way to hit them with charged up pistols. Works awesome with U-damage.



Turn on predator if you have another bar of adren and then the targets that are poisoned will take more damage. Hell start charging up the bio again, turn on predator, then go poison them again. Makes light characters scream like *****es.

[legacy-RomuluXX]

If you have a flak cannon and someone is dive attacking you, lock on to them and then when they are diving at you shoot a secondary so they fly over your head. With the lock on you should instantly turn around and as soon as you do pump a primary into their backs. Works pretty damn good if you can time it right.

[legacy-JDOG]

With skarjj, poison someone with pistols, turn on predator, and go to town. Don't primal scream cause it nixes it. Poison with pistols and use any weapon cause it makes for a slow easy target; headshots, anything, it makes an easy kill. Find ataack styles either stay back gather ammo adren. and health or just go balls out and get what you find. You will get better with melee dodges and pistols think. quicker and ev. if you do this. Don't jump to much or at least try playing on the ground a lil' makes accuracy alot easier, some weapnons more than others. get good at tricking people as to which direction you are goin when passing corners, and use cover: fire, take shelter, fire. Be a pimp at the game and get good at weapons. Weapon master rocks. Eat your wheaties.

[legacy-ahMEmon]

I like to fake people out with Lauren, the Flak Cannon and Siphon. Usually, depending on my opponent and if he/she is good at reflecting, I will time it so that I shoot flak (secondary or primary) slightly behind or ahead of siphon depending on the situation. Most good refectors will only reflect one or the other, then I go to town.

I also like to lead with the Flak Cannon secondary fire. It's bit hard, but with enough practice you will get good at it.

And my favourite tactic with Lauren....

Syphon the RUN AWAY! (great if you're low on health)

[legacy-XoVeNmiTsX]

well ive tried this and idk if it works maybe it was my imagination but if you put on regen, pick up a big adren, and then do preditor, you get more health faster from the regen

[legacy-x_djs_x]

^ Never heard of that, I'll give it a try.

[legacy-XoVeNmiTsX]

ya i think it goes faster, i tried it like twice and it seemed to work...could be wrong though

i also have a technique for the grenades, actually aim them. you dont have to spam always (unless theres a group of peeps, then its multikill city) also, idk if this works either but it does in q3a. when you getting chase put your crosshair right at the groud below you and run forward. The grenades prolly go threw your legs to the person behind you. at least i think they will :/

[legacy-RomuluXX]

^nope, they explode on you. if you do attempt that jump when you do, maybe even double jump.

[legacy-XoVeNmiTsX]

dammit. I hardly ever got a kill doing that in quake so i never bothered trying on UC2

[legacy-buttons]

On any map with lots of places to hide:Wait until you have someone trying to kill you, once you have at least a bar of adrenaline then use speed and hide behind a doorway or something. then when your opponent chases after u, pull out a flak cannon and wait until they come through the doorway...then...BOOM!

Flak Cannon on a map with two or more levels:Get some teammates into an open space on the 1st floor. then wait on the 2nd /3rd floor till the other team shows up to take them out [note you'll need a game with 0 friendly fire]then pull out a flak cannon, rocket launcher, or biorifle and blast away.
Against bots in an instant action game And use Raiden: Hold L and R down then press the white button when in the pause menu. set it to infinent addrenaline. then, wherever a whole bunch of bots come regularly, keep putting stun traps all over. if they disappear then keep putting more.then, once some bots come they all get stunned, and u can go Coupe de Grace on their asses.

yeh yeh these are noob moves but they work

[legacy-RomuluXX]

When you have a grenade launcher/bio-rifle on a map w/ jump pads and someone goes up a jump pad, don't mindlessly follow them, chances are theyre waiting to own you. Instead fire grenades/bio-blobs into the pad so they go up after the person and even if it doesn't kill them it'll give you some breathing room if you decide to go up.

[legacy-x_djs_x]

^Thats clever, I didnt know they followed up the jump pad though?

[legacy-JDOG]

the blob doesn't always follow you may have to be locked on. I've never seen a blob follow. You don't Have to spam anything. That is how weapons/people get bad rep. But it will get you more use to movement/projectile type but eventually you will get so good the most all of your shots hit. Try doing bank shots w/ grenade/rip-jack. make good and insane shots with grenades banking. Almost any bake shots will take skill esp the more complex angles and complexity of adding more angles and walls to bank off before grenade reaches the intended target. Dis connect is the only one I have really seen do that w/ grenades. More people use rip like that occ. I think.

MASTERFUL MASTERFUL i will be a GODLIKE. Come and play with me and get slaughtered.

[legacy-Illution]

You play on your own server alot or what? I think i saw you in a game today. Not sure. Anyways. My technique is.... Jumping around with rockets? That's alls i need.

[legacy-legend]

Sneaky you play like me dude...You do more then that unless you have gotn bad....That better not of happend not to many people can play like I do. No one wnats to wait that long for a kill...lol

[legacy-Bubonic_residuals]

Cheap, cowardice-run, hide and shoot from afar, melee reject, intelligent, oh yeah and amazing weapon shots. I like to run around away from everyone gather full ammo and health and then plan my attack, either pick off people with low health, attack from afar, reject, or full force.

[legacy-Illution]

Haha okay that's not all i do. And thanks for the compliment? Haha. Anyways unblock me on AIM dude! You stole my account.. But i don't care i was gonna quit anyhow. Okay i change my techniqe to.... I play like ghost. Haha there?

[legacy-NecrisFlood]

technique: whatever it takes, really. If that means rocket-whoring, or laying clouds from biorifle everywhere, then hey...that works for me. It gets points on the board for me. I realize I lose most of the time...but as long as I get some kills...I'm having fun. "Cheap" things like rockets will get the kills with little to no effort...and I have no shame. In terms of special abilities....I like to keep Waith and Speed on as much as possible. I'm surprised more people don't use speed more often....it's a simple, but great power, and everyone has it. I loved Shockrifle for awhile, but I've been using Biorifle a lot more...I may go back to shock though, as that's seriously the most difficult gun to defend against. If you're even halfway decent with shockrifle, you get a LOT of kills with that....and people have very few options against it. I'm surprised people don't call Shockrifle "cheap" actually....every other gun has some easy or obvious counter plan against it....but shockrifle creates serious problems for most people. If you run away, you're dead...if you run up close, you could be dead too....rejecting is out of the question, and blocking isn't worth much in this game....so the only defense is running up close or fighting it with your own shock rifle. See? Shockrifle tactics are magically delicious. It's in a class above all other guns.

[legacy-Alckatrahz]

I didn't feel like making a thread just for one question, and since this is "Techniques" ...

Can you aim where you want Raiden's Teleport to go?

^^^Thank you ... Never knew about that because I rarely use Raiden
