Ripjack

[legacy-Holy_Avenger]

Does anyone have any tips for using this weapon? Aside from charged up shots I really can't use it worth crap.

Edit: Helpful tips please.

[legacy-iReProphecy]

Aiming is what its about

Does anyone have tips on timing and aiming?

Dont pay anything about your auto lock system. Usually just hold a charged up shot, wait till someone is running right at you, away from you, or if there going right into your path. Say your were the 3 rocket ammo is on Praxis. Some guy jumps up on to the top edge where you are. Carefully time a shot to were he going to land. Basic stuff like that.

If you're going to use the primary fire, aim for the top of the head if your opponent is high on health, aim for the body if he's low.

do a backflip get em in a strait line at you aim for the neck/upper body and around a corner place a mine.

Its all about the accuracy...... a little tip: every one jumps so shot exactly were they land..... to stop reflecters shot out side reflect radus but close enought for them to get splash damage (hard to do on the host)this is the same for rockets.

Practes hitting the floor by opponents feet its the key, lern to aim there and there health just falls away

I like it far better than the RL. You just have to know how to use it.

[legacy-xPEACEx]

+ the fact that most people cant use it, makes it more fun and unique when u can :)

the ony other tip for this weapon is probly shoot single disks when u have U-damage they kill quick and are easy to shot whilst jumping of walls. I also wouldnt recomend targeting for the ripjack just aim urself remember look were they will land... judge it right and game over.

Yea about the lock really throws people off. I still use it, but most times it really messes up the aiming. Your really best off not using the target lock when having the ripjack out.

[legacy-xPEACEx]

i only use the lock on to see health then i just aim manual... I can aim when theres a stupid yellow circle around the opponent :P Ripjack owns... much better in TDM than CTF tho

[legacy-iReProphecy]

It seems in CTF its not the best weapon to use but i still use it.

I love setting off mines (hold alt fire, then shoot primary) and they walk into it moments later. Beautiful.

[legacy-iReProphecy]

Yes, but it seems to have no affect with that 2 sec delay. If like a anubis comes over it it will blow up, but if its someone like lauren it seems pointless.

[legacy-Holy_Avenger]

Yah, and I figured out a good way to cut off Szalor's head, have the bottom line even with his shoulder's if he's level with you and off it goes.

[legacy-iReProphecy]

And if anyone is chasing after you with melee out, use the primary fire to kill them. Use the technique like said above because it does work.

[legacy-crazzyTHEking]

Etheir charge it to blow someone up or just shot the disks everywhere like a mad man.

The mines from the Ripjack secondary / alternate fire are by far the best anti personnel weapon I've seen.

If you can hold a choke point say midway at Aqueduct or any map with a narrow passage between bases, layout a few mines in the narrowest section of the path. When your opponent comes along the mine detonates. Some times its an instantaneous kill on players with low health. However on players with more health, you'll have an easy time finishing them off with any other weapon of your choice, including your race weapon.
