The cutter on the Maverick suit turned out to be even more useful than a weapon. In conflict zones the doors fail to open sometimes, locking a considerable amount of your own troops inside where they run around like lemmings. Then you can cut open the panel and overcharge the door. Afterwards they can happily continue to be cannon fodder while you do the actual work.

You need to make a video about this "lasers for shields, bullets for bodies" combat style. Switching weapons every 10 seconds does not look fun whatsoever. At least in planetside 2 there were differences in rate of fire, projectile drop and weapon handling but it still managed to be somewhat balanced and loads of fun. Switching guns every minute just to be effective is just jarring.

I don't understand the emphasis on this switching gameplay. In ship combat, you can use lasers or MCs against anything. They will eventually kill the target, even though one is more effective than the other against shields/hull. Is it really not the same for foot combat? You can use a kinetic rifle to take down shields, but it's just not as good as lasers?

I play a lot of arena shooters so I kinda like the idea, but I'll admit those are much faster paced and switching weapons here does feel slow. Halo with a touch of Arma is how I'd describe Odyssey's combat, and if they took more inspiration from those games (Halo in particular) it'd be a lot better.

I find a hybrid using the AR-50 and laser rifle to be the best possible combination for CZs without constantly having to reload. The combination kills enemies so quickly that it makes me cringe every time I see someone only using a single weapon and complaining that the enemies are bullet sponges. Is it a good design? No, not really. But is it effective? Super. No other weapon except a fully modded plasma shotgun even comes close to the laser kinetic combo.

You can 2 shot the strongest npc with a Plasma sniper in 2 seconds. It takes 2 seconds just to swap weapons. Just put a mag upgrade on it. Won every high intensity CZ I did, in a Maverick suit :) The worst weapons in the game though are the grenades, I don't even bother throwing them anymore. It's just easier to shoot people. The point is you can't put 2 primary weapons on a Maverick and 99% of feet gameplay requires it. Might as well save yourself worthless grind and just upgrade the plasma sniper and pistol. ON that note I did the 10 CZs didn't get the engineer unlock. Was so bored out of my mind at how easy and repetitive it was I can't do it again even if the bug is fixed.

@@TheMaw365 P.S. To get the unlock, you have to do 10 LOW intensity CZs. I encountered this problem as well. Took the community a couple of weeks to figure that out. :) If you put stowed reloading and faster handling on both primaries, you can basically fire forever until you have to reload your suit ammo. Faster handling cuts the time to swap weapons by quite a bit and stowed reloading basically reloads your gun every time you swap. The plasma sniper might be slightly more effective against a single target, but when you're dealing with any more than 3, you'll need to reload. With the dyad combo, you can take out a couple of their shields in a single round then switch to the kinetic rifle to finish them, all in a couple of seconds, cutting the average time per target significantly. I find doing this against 3 targets at a time works the best to not give enough time for their shields to regenerate. Against 3 targets with this method usually takes less than 5 seconds if your aim is good which makes the average time taken per kill 1.6 seconds or less. Plus like I said, with stowed reloading, you basically never have to reload. Also never lost a CZ as well using this combo, regardless of difficulty. :) (though that's not saying much cuz CZs are ridiculously easy right now lol)

@@chobon00b62 the thing is, there's already somebody making another space game. As much flak as Star Citizen catches from its stately development pace, the fact remains that, among other things, the FPS combat in it is serviceable and solid with weapons that not only kill quickly, but have a great deal of variety; I own several ground vehicles including the Nova tank and a number of FPS weapons including three grenade launchers, the sole (at the moment) missile launcher and shoulder-fired railgun, and a spread of other weapons that are all satisfying and unique in their own way. Better yet, this is just phase Zero, the prototyping stage of their combat systems as a whole, they have plans to expand on the combat systems in the game to a degree that's going to completely change it in the future. Also, how about those bugged shotgun shells at 9:30? You got to hand it to Frontier, when they half-ass something, they make sure it shows.

Came here to say the same thing. I have G4 Kinetic AR and G4 Laser AR (Neither are engineered because fuck that system, or more like, the limited asset/data/goods space) and they make for really fast kill times so long as you play by the rock paper scissors system. Also because I like relatively long range shooting which no other weapon does. I agree with the shotgun here, apparently with engineering, that shotgun can 1 shot kill even elites due to spread reduction, so expect a prompt and thorough nerf because FDev WILL HAVE NO FUN IN THEIR GAME!

@@TheYamiks actually found the plasmas to be pretty shit - I really wanted to love the plasma sniper rifle (was going to stay stealth and kill everyone from distance) but too slow projectile too slow reload - even the npcs can dodge it unless you're in their faces (probably is useful if you engineer it for silence but I havent got that far). Shotgun dispersion is so bad that it does negligible damage at any sort of range, Rifle not enough damage/accuracy/projectile speed (all may change at higher levels), Plasma pistol (I have grade 3, silent, large capacity mag) is excellent. Actually finding the Laser Rifle pretty good - definitely against shields and does reasonable damage to skin. Have large capacity mag on the rocket launcher which helps (and is the only thing that can damage goliath). Actually find the AR50's pretty good too once you've gotten the shields down - at least you can aim it and hit stuff with it and it does okay damage.

Gonna go fully unnecessary nerd for a moment. It looks like the kinetic assault rifle uses a reciprocating barrel, which would mean that it actually uses its own recoil to drive its operation. Which is fine until you start taking it to planets with different levels of gravity and thus totally throw the balance of the system out of whack. The gun would possibly have different fire rates on different planets or just simply not work at all.

Been spending an obscene amount of time grinding but have good progress to show for it. A tormentor pistol at grade 5 with both indoor and outdoor silencers, fasrer handling, and reduced recoil can kill most enemies in two shots. Working on some non-plasma loadouts for the heck of it, thought I’d see if an AR-50 with reduced recoil and faster handling for aiming down sights would compensate for its built-in disadvantages, will try it out once I’ve got the handling mod on it. Biggest pain in the ass is finding weapon components. Plasma hasn’t been so bad but I don’t want combat to consist entirely of lobbing slow-moving purple snowballs at enemies. I don’t know if the laser pistol underwent some rebalancing after this video came out, because now it can strip shields almost immediately, and paired with the kinetic SMG it’s pretty formidable. The only weapons you’ll be able to rely on to do both jobs are plasma, unfortunately. I have yet to put reduced recoil on an Oppressor, that mod has worked wonders on both the tormentor and AR-50 and AFAIK might be the only thing capable of redeeming that piece of crap, just don’t know if I’m ready to invest the material grinding time into testing that theory.

Well the first weapon you started with in the video is fitting the second primary slot of the Dominator suit. That cat take down shields, but it drains unshieled targets fast. So, TK Aphelion to take out the shields and then the "ballistic Automatic Assault Rifle" to finish the job. The combination is efficient. Especially when you play games like Team fortress 2 for long enough to know how to stab n sap the Sentry... because then you basically automatically hit 1 after 5 minutes of being introduced to the system of swapping for effective dealing of damage. Not like Team Fortress 2 has this kind of system just that it is based on range. The plasma Weapons remind me of using the Direct hit or Liberty Launcher while the AR-50 reminds me of the Brassbeast minus the slow rev.

It could be that are some heavier moving parts inside the weapon that need to make contact and separate when firing to prevent premature overheating with a continuous beam.

I dunno if they buffed the high risk conflict zone vouchers or what, but using Frontline to farm those is actually a decent way to make money early on in the game. A few million for 5 minutes being flown there and 15 fighting from afar, being careful to stay near the AI teammates but keep them between you and the enemy AI as much as possible. Much like early bounty hunting you follow the npc friends around and tag every enemy they're in combat with so you get credit when they do expire. Using the laser rifle to keep enemy shields down while the friendly AI charges headlong towards them is a really easy way to secure victories usually. But once in a while the game does break and your AI buddies will forget to gravitate towards the control points, making things harder, but ultimately if you stay near a squad of them while they last you can easily farm plenty of money, enough to forget about the fact they left you alone to die trying to pick off a swarm of enemy AI using low quality gear.

I tried a base assault on an unpowered and deserted base, I was just trying to loot enough mats to upgrade my shit. By some weird magic 2 drop ships appeared within 30 seconds of me arriving at the base. I was hiding watching them arrive, all 8 descended on my position, they knew exactly where I was before I even drew a weapon. I’m out in Colonia, there are no Odessey engineers, I’ve found one Karma -15 level 2 upgrade after touring the entire and every high tech station with a concourse several times since release . I’m seriously thinking of taking my shit back to the bubble.

It was never relevant in the first place. Idiot uses kinetic weapons on shields, which is one of the most basic mechanics in elite that has been here for years. You can drop into a high intensity ground combat zone with completely unengineered stuff and still melt npcs if you keep to the rule of using thermals against shields and kinetic against armor, without the enemies feeling like bullet sponges.

Gotta say, I normally like your takes and opinions on aspects of the game. Hopefully I won’t be crucified but I just cannot agree with this video. Smacked myself to elite mercenary in conflict zones using the weapons as designed, had a good time, hit my targets and used the guns as intended. No engineering in my guns in High Intensity zones and I was walking out with 8.5-10mil per conflict. Paid for my entire newest Anaconda build in 3 days of just running these zones with how the weapons are designed to be used. For the curious, my most used kit is Aphelion AR-50 P-15 Hopefully people can respect it, and we can get some nice debate in the replies, but hey, to each their own.

@@TheYamiks I find that a fair argument as well. Appreciate the response! I have noticed now that my Aphelion is level 3, it hits fairly hard for flesh damage.

The oppressor struggles still but I only run it at level 2 I’m trying to comprise my own personal list of damage performance as I slowly level everything up. And comparing TTK to various enemy strength levels.

Sidenote: Engineered suits increases damages resistances on top of more health. Using low grades against engineered opponents multiplies the ammo type inherent weakness further (and plasma on foot, unlike ship, actually has a damage resistance, it's just that it averages medium instead of being negative on one side and positive on the other) Here I am, with Grade3 of every gun, and it reversed some of those order lmao. In High CZ I use the Tanaka to melt the shields from entire squads in my clip from 30-60 meters away and then swap to my AR50 and kill them all before their shields recharge... since its the only accurate high HP damage gun that can hit past a 15m (and the damage increase per grade is ridiculous). When out scavenging against low threat targets the laser pistol is surprisingly powerful. The sniper rifle meanwhile, it needs at least grade 4 at High CZ to 2-shot kill reliably because they keep like 5 shield and 10 health after the hit which means you need 4 and unable to take one down in a single clip. The high tier shotgun is fucking insane as a primary weapon for raiding settlements though. At a CZ you'll want the melee engineering so you can punch the Motherfuckers who still have like 15 hps left after the blast and you don't have time to wait. The plasma pistol is great at every grade though. So good. For some reason the reticle drops like 5fps everytime so I can't use it reliably.

Got Odyssey as New Year gift from my GF. Now cant play it, because its unplayable. Coudnt get out of SC anywhere last days, had to relog to Horizons to actually exit SC and land on station. Will wait untill last PC patch comes this week, and see if anything changes. If not, will just wait for console launch, when Ody eventually fixed, or just move to another game. EDO is really sad story, it had so much potential. About weapons. Long TTK and non-hitscan plasma weapons are shit design choices. I kill spaceships faster then onfoot people, should be other way around. Shields should be universal, without bullshit 5 bars shield enemies. Everyone should be 1 bar of shields on foot. At least content for farming eng mats, should have easiest TTK enemies.

I wish there were some better weapons and more variety. One thing I liked about one of my games was the fact that there were different manufactures, and they all had their own style. I also liked that there are a ton of weapon choices; so many you couldn’t list them. There were at least 20 styles of weapons, and some of those categories have multiples sub-styles. Like you could have a fast automatic that is hard to control, and doesn’t do much damage, but if you are up close (very close) you can shred people. Or they would have slow automatics were you could take someone out without having to smell them, and it was easier to use. Or have a burst rifle that has low magazine size, but hits hard as hell and can have some decent range; or have a burst rifle with a huge mag, but doesn’t hit as hard and shoots faster. There’s not enough base variety.

The usability of each weapon is much different when they are grade 5 and engineered. Grade 5 upgrade makes all weapons deal 3x damage, compared to grade 1. The fastest killing level 5 weapon is shotgun, and I play only high tier ground combat zones to farm mercenary rank. Shotgun with extra ammo is a must. Usually it takes 3 shots to kill a level 5 enemy from 20-30m and 2 shots to kill him from 5-10m. Sniper rifle is better than tormentor pistol, because it needs 2 shots to kill anything and pistol needs more. Low speed of plasma shot is bad, but AI is stupid and this is still a valid weapon to kill more distant targets as they tend to stop and crouch to shoot. Combine with shotgun makes you almost unstoppable, unless you are surrounded by 4+ level 5 NPCs. For ground combat zones I recommend to not take noise reduction upgrades, just extra ammo, better handling, reload time and possibly stowed reload. For outside of CZ I recommend audio masking (still locked by no smear campaign plans to drop, to unlock Yarden Bond engineer), noise suppressor, extra ammo and range or weapon handling. Running in level 5 dominator suit against level 5 striker NPCs with shotguns - they will lose every time in 1on1. For level 5 dominator suit I recommend extra jump, faster shield regeneration, longer running and night vision for night fighting or combat movement upgrade for day fighting. Having 2 differently upgraded level 5 dominator suits to choose is useful, and the same goes to shotgun and sniper rifle. For maverick suit, I recommend extra backpack, night vision, extra jump and quieter footsteps (again locked by no access to Yarden Bond as of now) as main loadout.

the thing I hate about shotguns in (most) games is the spread, in this even at 2 meters away you're lucky to hit half of the pellets on target. if it was a realistic spread then it would be op but it acts as though its a sawed off shotgun with a barrel that is only as long as the shells, great for hitting everything in a room but the target you're aiming at.
