Also... when you have the chance during your "Normal" matches, try and hijack your opponent's MS when they're going out and about to capture one of your points. Also, make sure when you successfully hijack an enemy MS reach the self-destruction time limit so that you'll get the point, if an enemy defeats/kills you while you're using the hijacked MS, the enemy gets the point.

[@itsmedio6208]

Wait so I let the time expire while I'm in the MS? So I die with the self destruct right?

"Please support your ace", damn if only that ever happens. I've been playing on PS5 for 2 months now, made it to B, and I've found if the ace happens to be a support everyone just abandons you to get curbstomped by the enemy raids to rush their ace

[@vicegt]

@6:20 you forgot that the terminal is where you turn in clan missions to get the rewards. They won't show up at the rewards center unless you do.

[@NewtypeSeiji]

Great point!

[@ahnafahmed5928]

Repair tip. Being close like within 5 meters of the base and idle auto repairs your suits. Go out with the repair tool to boost that. The best time to do this would be if your team or the enemy team is wiped. Denying an easy point is a card players player. Also a question, what are your preferred mods. I always boost turn rate with all 3 available field motors when possible.

[@MrJhound4]

I think mentioning the 3 types of suits with their advantages and disadvantages would be good material to cover.

[@NewtypeSeiji]

If you’re referring to Raid/General/Support, I did

A note on 'beating Rivals'. This is not, as implied by their wording, actually *killing* your Rival, but rather by simply doing better than them in points and 'beating' them in the final score board for the match. Also, Rivals are selected based on a few factors depending on the match type: (taken from the JP wiki) -After team formation, the enemy team's MS attributes (general, raid, support) are selected from players with the same and similar ratings. -Match rules introduce additional election methods for this -In the case of an Ace match, the Aces will always be rivals. Players other than Ace are usually elected. -In the case of Shuffle targets, pilots selected for the target will be rivaled by the opponent with the closest MS rating in the same category among the selected pilots, and pilots who were not selected as targets will be rivaled by the pilot who was not selected with the closest MS rating in the same category. -In the case of a Mix-up, the opponent with the closest rating in the same category with MS within ± 100 with a COST difference with your own aircraft becomes a rival, and -if there is no opponent with a COST difference of ± within 100, the opponent with the closest rating in the same category with MS becomes the rival. -In the case of Custom matches, no rivals are selected. If there are no opponents in the same category, or if there are people in the same category but their ratings are too far apart, the "opponent with the closest rating" becomes the rival. -The selection of rivals is basically asymmetrical, and your rivals will not necessarily have you as a rival. -Depending on the formation, multiple pilots may be selected as rivals to compare battle results. -There is no way to check your rivals before the game. Even during the game, if you are a rival when you are eliminated, you can only check the rival mark.

Try switching where the graphics come from like cpu Intergrated graphics to gpu that’s where some performance problems come from

[@fatelyre]

If you’re playing on a Windows 10/11 PC,l make sure to visit the Graphics Settings menu, add GBO2’s exe, and then set it to use your dedicated GPU. My laptop has a gtx1060 also and the game runs great

i checked out your video befor trying the game, im very tired of being walled, time and money. thank you for the upload youre out here saving lives/time

[@Kattbirb]

I already have the game preloaded on Steam and will be playing it on the 30th. As for MS, I'm not picky about Gundams or anything special, I'll probably be content for a good while just piloting Zakus and GMs.

[@NewtypeSeiji]

Low cost games with Zakus in GMs are honestly REALLY fun!

[@ryukaze20]

@@NewtypeSeiji Around 300-400 cost games are the fun ones since you won't see those high end MS and have fun with the lower cost MS/Grunts and have fun with them. 600-700 cost room sometimes get tiresome especially with the Qubeleys, Zetas and others running around.

I wasted so much DP points on higher lvl weapons but just found out it was a waste now I’m just buying custom parts way better choice and I also get 2 or three suits that I like to play and are getting better at at every cost 300 and beyond

[@kowlefe6418]

I wish everyone playing on steam watched this. So many games where the other team stagger spams themselves or my team does it makes it so upsetting. This isn't a gank type of game, its a cohesion and build game

[@SirStrikeFreedom]

man, I'd hoped that the game would be cross play or have crossplay progression. Seriously would suck to have to restart on PC...

[@mattr.1804]

That’s what I was thinking was going to happen. No dice I guess?

[@innerarts4091]

Well, PC severs are barely running smoothly, imagine being a PS player and half your team disconnected before the match even started cuz they are on PC 😂

[@mfyamato]

nice tutorial... this is the kind of game you spend time in the menu tweaking your setting. battle is fun too, but too many variable to pilot the suit (guess i'm old lol) but still fun though. best to play with controllers, rather than mnk. easier to navigate in the menu with controller, rather than mnk attacking can be do in combo button for stunts effect and etc. so yeah, controllers.

[@flclbeans]

After seeing your AC6 vid blowup and checking on your recent vids, this was a nice surprise bc I didn’t know ppl still play GBO2 and I’ve been meaning to play again. Been following since GVs, keep up the good work! 🫡

[@truenewtype2239]

I prefer to play SDGO than this. It tries to be realistic, but the dash and jump boost throw me off. SDGO is way intuitive when it comes to using your jump boost. I was soo looking forward to playing this.

[@modernwarfighter]

PC players have it easy since they’ll be able to acquire 700 Cost MS and parts from the past with minimum level requirements

[@mattr.1804]

Oh they reduced level requirements for certain suits?

[@innerarts4091]

Oh damn, got the rebawoo, and im so shit on it.... Still getting used to the beam weapons cool down 😅

[@MadIIMike]

I got to ask something: There's a limited availability of matches depending on the MS Cost, but when I start out, how would I even get suits to get into matches (other than spending, that is)? I heard some MS can be earned from the tutorials, but never which ones.

[@NewtypeSeiji]

You MIGHT be locked out of some game types if they're the higher cost games, but generally there are beginner campaigns that will help you get at least a few suits under your belt. As for the suits from the tutorials I don't remember all of them off the top of my head but I know one was the Full Armor Gundam which is in the 500 cost range I believe, so really the only games you wouldn't be able to participate in would likely be the really high cost ones like 650-700.

[@MunitionsDudTester]

You get several suits from the tutorial plus a ton of free DP to start and buy a ton of suits.

[@Vipermecha]

Is the gap between the next star tier really high, or is it a 1 5* beats 5 1* ez kind of thing? How far can a 3* go against a 4* or 5* MS? I'm a new player here, and I like grunts the most.

[@NewtypeSeiji]

The star level of a suit is definitely an indicator of its overall strength, but there are also other things to consider such as the suit type. A 3 star can go up against a 4 star which it’s technically weaker against but if the former is a Raid and the latter is a Support, the 3 star is going to be doing more damage. But at the end of the day the most important factor is player skill for sure. If you like grunts you’d probably want to stick to matches that are under 400-450.

[@vengefulmosquito9196]

Is it true that the Medea heals your suit if it's damaged? I read somewhere that that's the case. I don't know if it's passive or you have to be actively repairing near the Medea.

[@NewtypeSeiji]

Yes, but you have to be standing next to it and not moving. In ground battles you MIGHT have to kneel as well but I’m not 100% sure.

[@ryukaze20]

@@NewtypeSeiji yes. you can also exit your MS and use the repair tool while being near your base to help with the repairs.

[@humblethugo9073]

Which suits do you recommand ?

[@NewtypeSeiji]

It’s hard to give suit recommendations because not everyone will have the same suits depending on their luck. What I do recommend is doing the Intermediate level training missions from the Training Instructor because if you complete all six you’ll get two MS from each category (Raid, General, Support) which will help you get started.

The game also showers you with free currency to get a lot of units at the start, on top of starter units and some top-tier units ( GM Custom, Full Armor Gundam, etc ) given to you for free after Tutorials. Maybe he's just a Fortnite or modern cod / battlefield kind of person. Not everyone likes to think and plan ahead after work.

[@axusexo]

This game got gacha ? Why do i have feeling this game gonna be P2W

[@quantizedanson]

Kinda P2W from 600 cost and up, but on lower costs you have decent amount of f2p units that's top tier. On 550 you have GP01 ( Regular on Ground, Fb on Space ) and GP02 ( Raid ) and Super Gundam ( Support ) On 500 you got Gundam Mk2 On 450 you got Alex ( Versatile ) and Kampfer ( High Damage Glass Cannon ) On 400 you got GM Custom, which is given to you for free in Tutorials. Bazooka on Ground, Beam Rifle on Space. On 350 you got Powered GM, which everyone owns it by default ( just remember to swap to bazooka on Ground Battles ) On 300 you got GM2, which is dirt cheap on the store with free currency. Use Beam Rifle on Space. On 250 you got GM Cold District, which is also dirt cheap on the store with free currency. Stick with the GN Sten SMG and aim for enemy legs. There are at least 3 to 5 more top-tier f2p units on each cost that I just mentioned, but for the sake of just introducing easy-to-learn units here is a small check-list which I hope will help others later on.
