18:20 im just thinking of that one short where its like "Average Minigun Vortex experience" on the Smokestacks map and shows a mg vortex trying to turn around on a home beacon and just ends up in the green instakill stuff

[@Draslyn]

you mean the one from Mayer? its honestly not a big issue if you dont just play like a moron/visually exaggerate the issue for content

[@RuFFlesGaming]

havent seen it, but sounds funny

[@ERSTARKK]

I know EXACTLY what you mean 😂😂😂

[@ERSTARKK]

16:30 haha! I've been seeing that a lot lately when a bot gets down to almost 0 HP - they'll just hide in a corner 😂. BTW, I have been noticing how often the Galvanic Hull stays completely untouched, so I'm glad I chose to save some money by equipping all my mechs with only epic Galvanic. Same with the overhead shield - only need epic or none at all - and keep A and C slots legendary of course. 👍🏻

[@RuFFlesGaming]

Epic Galvanic just makes the most sense to me nowadays, even without the bug, so yea im also only getting Legendary for A/C slot

Bro I hear your happness as you get legendary mech almost free. Stay happy

[@NightflameEdits]

Hey that thumbnail looks familiar! 😅 Edit: after watching the whole video, why wouldn’t disruptor (prob better than missle rack and cryo launcher) or chain gun work for vortex? Chain gun is just a slightly worse minigun but more f2p weapon. And disruptor is a legendary missle weapon which can replace missle rack and cryo launcher alike. It’s also pretty f2p friendly after they added it to gh. Just my opinion let me know what you think 💭

[@mjmillions]

Not enough damage

[@pogsterplays]

Problem with disruptor is the fact that all the damage is in a single shot, and ML mods are a thing. Also, missiles have better quick damage output, as it's not worth spending 90% of your ability reloading (in disruptors case), as with missiles, you can active ability, rush in, dump mag, and rush out, still with your ability

[@NightflameEdits]

@@mjmillions @pogsterplays what about chain gun and disruptor can deal with ml shields due to its green radius line thing

[@mjmillions]

I don't have chain gun but it seems to do well in the bots i face....imo disruptors are not great since mods they do not do enough damage

[@normalchannel2185]

@@NightflameEdits Chain gun requires ramp up time, and you wanna expose yourself as little as possible

Ruffles, if I had 2208 acoins, how much spins should I do. Cause I'm trying to get ageis

[@RuFFlesGaming]

up to you. its a matter of cost/benefit, theres no "right amount"

[@Somerandomdudeontheinterne]

You shouldn’t spin, don’t risk it, get aegis I believe you’ll be able to get it bro

[@Spartan902]

I have Vortex already but haven't rolled him out yet as I am still trying other mechs I have bought. I have heaps of legendary weapons too that I haven't used yet either. All in good time! Cheers Ruffles.👍😎

nice! Vortex is a fun one fs

[@Needmorerage-p5f]

Should I get vortex now or wait for surge

if you have 12k acoins to guarantee that you get Vortex then absolutely get it. otherwise its up to you

[@SUTAPABHATTACHARYYA-b5i]

RuFFles , What should i buy for vortex , Missile rack 12 or Nade Launcher. I have rare dmg and reload and legendary radius for missile rack and rare dmg and reload and radius for nades.

[@RuFFlesGaming]

thats what i made the vid for

[@CorruptdKetchup]

I have used all of these builds (except missile racks) and the only change I’d make is swapping embers and nades, embers are pretty hard to use on this and they have a major learning curve, but I think they’re overall better.

[@hmsubmarines6667]

Nice video a bit of topic but I'm 5k hanger no Mods 2 pilots and I've just been matched against three back to back to back 10k hangers does this happen often

[@RuFFlesGaming]

idk if it happens often, but ik the MM is not great atm

[@ELMARgameplay]

👍 great video! Just what I needed. Now I know where to slap my nades and nades pilot.!!Btw you mentioned he had a slow turning speed initially and with mini guns it’s even slower. I’ve always wondered, is the turning speed linked to his actual speed of 18km? As in if you had a faster mech like scouts, that has 28km would they have a faster turning/aiming speed?

[@RuFFlesGaming]

turning speed is linked to speed stat, yes. Speed-increase abilities like Vortex or Eclipse will not increase the turn speed, however speed-increase **implants** like Eclipse Phase Cloak Speed will

[@ELMARgameplay]

@@RuFFlesGaming thank you! I’ve learned something new. Keep up the great work👍

[@lizrodriguez188]

Ruffles what are free to play weapons for 18 energy vortex. I got it on the third try but I don't know what to put on it. I am on tier 7

[@RuFFlesGaming]

any of the weapons that i listed. if you have Nade 10/8, for example, you can use that. In the video I'm just showing that it works even at max

[@zaprude]

I bought Vortex on sale for like 6 dollars when he was pretty new. I'm glad I did! Haven't spent much resources on upgrading him yet, but I will surely be pairing him with Minigun once he's ready! Thanks Ruffles ❤

[@RuFFlesGaming]

nice! ngl 6 bucks is a great deal

Which rank you got him at?

@@HieuNguyenOfficial It was a baby Vortex, rank 2.

[@RuFFlesGaming]

nah just leave it. congrats tho!

[@patricknagel1432]

And the best on Vortex is 2x12 Storm? Or Revoker?

[@RuFFlesGaming]

Storm. Revoker is prob worse than Minigun, but better than the rest

[@MechArenaEno]

I wish storm racka aimed a little bit more straight kind of like missle racks

[@normalchannel2185]

Wait, how do you get multiple of heavy energy cost weapons? I only get 1

I use vortex mini gun setup for now. It's my fav besides my first setup which was arc torrents which is very powerful when you can get into a crowd. I got more kills and wins with the arc setup. This was before the mod thing came about though. I don't know how it will work now.

[@RuFFlesGaming]

Arcs mag cant keep up imo, tho ive tried it as well and its not horrible

I’d like to see a video like this for eclipse because he came out in the GH recently

[@RuFFlesGaming]

yea i was going to, but recent events caused me to put a hold on those plans

[@rangaswamytc7486]

It's funny how the longrifle ( minigun ) does 1m DMG but there is no mech with that much HP . So, i guess the new tank would be having 1m hp in max & pilots as well as mods .

[@RuFFlesGaming]

Minigun takes 20 seconds to deal that damage tho, so itd be kinda crazy to give a mech that much HP imo

[@KAMIKAZE557]

15:21 probably more like "float him over" tbh

[@RuFFlesGaming]

fair

[@Shadow_god6000_2-O]

I can only afford two spins is it worth going for?

[@RuFFlesGaming]

up to you. its entirely subjective, youre not guaranteed anything unless you have all 12k, but i dont believe 600 acoins will take that long to get back

I actually got this first try, I am so happy rn (unlike ruffles when cheetah was in his videos 4x) Also I want mini guns and nades, but they are ridiculously expensive

[@RuFFlesGaming]

nice!! yea, if you have to spend acoins on one Id recommend Minigun, but its a tough one (Chain Gun 10 can probably be a placeholder until then, tho it doesnt do nearly as well)

[@StephenWilsonDuraiA]

I got it on 3rd spin and the first thing i noticed is vortex has the more hp its awesome and the nano bot speed is fast dude but i need to get used to turning speed during the ability is actived its very solw i prefer faster and when i turn on the ability it feels like i am tanking and no one can kill me easily but if u chase a enemy and then ur ability is on reload then the bots will kill and bots focus on players more than enemy bots so they will just smack u down and the size is huge but i got used to it surprisingly and it is just like aegis but faster and the ability damage i like it especially with ember guns i am enjoying vortex very much. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

​@@RuFFlesGamingI will never get it I know god hate me

[@StephenWilsonDuraiA]

suryavni1suryavni11 i think u should keep oacoinsng acoins and it will help u to get a mech, weapons, pilots in playoff events and crates it will help u and that how i got but i recommend u to use it for playoff event because if u seeker u just have to save acoins and mostly playoff events will say use 100 acoins to get 100 points and u need to put a plan like first i have to buy awgis then redeemer like that and when the playoff event come u will buy whatever u planned and if u are lucky u might get the playoff top 3 rewards as well even if u can't get to top 3 still u might get top 20 like that and u will not loose anything but in crates its a different story this is the first time mech arena had done like this and in other crates u will get the reward u want at the end and the chance are very low.

[@RizzManMA]
