Competitive Tribes 3 Guide: How to Play EVERY Role

[@omgitsfishstix]

Note: Prophecy has made some substantial changes to the perk system so things have shifted in terms of inventory loadouts. That said, the fundamentals remain the same. But I may have to create a new version of this soon to get up to date if people want it! LMK :) ~fishy

Awesome video Fishstix and as someone that just started playing with the updated role/perk system I’d appreciate an updated video but understand a lot of the fundamentals still carry across.

[@DocMtx]

Awesome work FishStix! Perfect guide to anyone starting the game, and anyone looking to get into the competitive scene too!

[@rebelrod]

Been really liking the game so far. I grew up playing Tribes and Tribes 2, Renegades Mod was my favorite. Miss the sniper rifle.

[@Donler]

It'll be interesting to see if Midfielder sticks around in the longterm when maps (hopefully) get wider/larger so it isn't easy for a single person to spot both sides of the map simultaneously.

[@omgitsfishstix]

Absolutely, great point. I don't think you want to pay midfield on Dangerous Crossing for example. t3's more narrow map designs are a major reason why this role works.

[@AlsoGreth]

I am disappointed that there is no section dedicated to the finer points of generator disassembly and the PvE content that is taking out the radar.

[@TritiumJones]

Love this! Will be sharing with all of my draft team

[@omgitsfishstix]

Heck yeah. See you in the draft.

[@zalamael]

Is there room for a No 6? The Distractor. The distractor is a mostly bad player who tries to put you off your game. He likes to tickle the enemy HoF to distract him, so your capper can score the flag without challenge. Or, he tickles incoming enemies to put them off their cap run. Would like to think this is a legit way of playing the game, because it is the best I can do, so far.

[@omgitsfishstix]

tbh it is! a good clearer isn't necessarily always getting a kill, but distracting at the right time! keep up the tickling

[@OneWingedMoogleTTV]

Just tickle them with mortars, it'll be fine. :)

[@domovoi_0]

Great stuff. Thank you. Love and blessings!

[@goodie2shoes]

Very well explained! good job

[@omgitsfishstix]

Thank you! 🙏

[@Troggloducuis]

the devs need to fix the projectile speed and also the light spinfusor shots with a small delay...i dunno but thats how it feels for me and im a tribes player from back in the days

[@omgitsfishstix]

i'm having an absolute blast playing, despite it not being my "perfect" tribes game, tribes is back. also, they're looking at reducing projectile sizes in the next patch apparently!

[@Troggloducuis]

@@omgitsfishstix smaller projectiles? I think they are good as they are imo.

[@allurbaserbelongtoj5]

Your skiing drives me crazy but I appreciate the content.

[@omgitsfishstix]

Lol yeah my skiing is pretty crap in this vid, was just messing around trying to get this done in a single take. Watch my pug recordings where I cap against stacked teams of tribes vets if u wanna see the real deal 🤝

[@PredatorPeyami]

i want vehicles and big maps back!

[@chadtopia]

I think Perks only show for competitive. As I play casual pubs, i dont see perks at all

[@omgitsfishstix]

Perks we're patched out.

[@chadtopia]

@@omgitsfishstix oh ok. Thanks Mr Fish

[@lucasrobinson889]

How would you recommend someone practice to improve their movement and positioning specifically?

[@omgitsfishstix]

Hmmm. I think you need to just play a lot of games. Watching other streamers and matches on KZbin could also help.

[@truckie6740]

Screw that I'll be fatty capping...

[@omgitsfishstix]

You do you, big guy

[@chadtopia]

I still think we need an nrg pack int he game. Shield is of no use to a HO really, as u need to stay moving all the time. Nrg is king for that role

[@omgitsfishstix]

That said, HO is more mobile in this game than ever before

[@chadtopia]

@@omgitsfishstix good point. i can still b very annoying for the nme in that role. Hope i can HO it up in a pug with you, Fishy

[@PurplDrank]

Bro thanks for this

[@TTaM581]

I'm curious how effective base guard is vs survivalist as a hof.

[@omgitsfishstix]

Base guard could be the play for HoF, good point

[@d0tline468]

would be nice if heavy wasn't an automatic win in every 1v1 and had to actually pay for their excessive armor and overpowered weapons

[@Goob13289]

How does damage to enemy buildings work?

[@d0tline468]

it doesn't, shields on them regen too fast for 2 people to shoot down efficiently, just nade and destroy the generator

[@DagobertDogburglar]

Competitive? My brother in christ the game is in ALPHA.

[@DagobertDogburglar]

Not to mention this aged like milk and a lot of this isn't true anymore. Kind of jumped the gun, didn't you?

[@omgitsfishstix]

Y u hating I just love tribes ok
