Gundam Battle Operation 2 Network Test: Beginners Guide to Generals!

This video is a guide to playing the general class in the Gundam Battle Operation 2 Network Test on Steam/PC. It should still be applicable to console players though. I will be using the examples of the GM II, RX-78 Gundam and Gundam GP01 to show you the basics of general play and how their combos work. If you have any questions then I would be very happy to answer them in the comments below or on Discord!

Good stuff here Avenger! It'll really help the newbies to adjust when they've got videos like this to turn to.

[@avenger1_gbo260]

Thank you! I really hope that new players find it helpful.

[@Falsemon]

Great video ! Glad to see you doing commentary now.

[@TheOddlyPlace]

Thanks for a great beginners guide! As someone who's very new to GBO2 these help a ton!

[@avenger1_gbo260]

Thank you!

[@xAoshisanx]

Great job brother. I'm hoping a lot of people take some of the advice to heart as it'll definitely help with their experience with the game.

[@avenger1_gbo260]

I hope that people find it useful. Thanks!

[@theguy1254]

man i feel sad because the test period has ended. I was havin a blast playing this with my friend

[@Squiggles01]

If someone who is uses a General to protect my squishy Support ass then you have made a friend for life! Scratch my back and that guy who has been stunning you from range will have to deal with me keeping him busy so you can get some hits in!

[@tilting_cat3344]

Gm ii gang bullying newbies with 5 stagger

[@yagyuu_]

definitely going to pick up that tech regarding angling the beam saber swing for the legs

[@linkdancer3890]

Thx I just started playing the steam version and ofc been getting my ass handed to me, this really helps better understand what my role is as a general.

[@MrDini-dx2cb]

isnt it a bit too late GBO2 Server Test has closed ;( lets wait for the next one which is the release

[@YukitoOnline]

Nice learning new stuff about the RX-78 in this video. Had the LV5 version so I had to play in High Cost matches.

[@classicshadowthehedgehog9032]

I love the GP01 rather then the RX-78-2 Gundam!

[@pedroarcher7438]

Please do a Beginners guide to Raid!!

[@chaosgreyblood]

I think the newbies that plan to escalate into 550 Cost matches will enjoy the GP-01 with the recent buffs it received al,ost 2 months ago. It'll make things easier for them to get accustomed to more skills that other advanced mobile suits will have in higher costs, and the higher variations of the same suit.

[@xStarborn]

And high mobility gelgoog if you like the naginata. Skill pref is huge

[@zebio]

Might want to turn down the ingame volume a bit for the final raid vid. It could be difficult hearing you above the explosions at times.

[@avenger1_gbo260]

Thanks. I am still experimenting to get the sound mixing perfect for my commentary videos so I will turn down the ingame volume further for next time.

[@pulmonary_fibrosis6509]

I attempted to main the Powered GM during the pc test in April because 1. I have the gunpla kit 2. I thought it looked cool while still being a grunt MS. Sadly I can't take your advice at the moment

[@mayoniez4308]

Planning on making a guide for all 3 type (maybe just mix this vid and the other guides into 1 big vid) when the PC version fully release? Probably make a text version too?

[@avenger1_gbo260]

I will definitely make one for raids once the full PC version comes out, or at least when the next test comes.

[@mayoniez4308]

Hope it just releases soon. Last test was basically close to what the PS version was in terms of the usual state of the netcode and all. But yeah definitely gonna be nice seeing the raid one considering that most new players struggle at using and fighting against raids.

[@GutsOfRivia]

Personally I have been enjoying the Blue Destiny Unit 3 in the steam network. The ground type beam rifle isn't the best but I love its subweapons and EXAM can be clutch and can get you a few kills before death.

[@avenger1_gbo260]

BD3 is strong but it is a little tricky to learn at first. Really good raid hunter.

[@GutsOfRivia]

@@avenger1_gbo260 Yea I think its biggest issue is the Beam rifle it has. I dont think its as good as the GP01 or RX-78 beam rifle but the chest missles are pretty good since they can stun and you can fire them while boosting and it seems to have pretty good melee damage too. And the chest vulcans are pretty decent as well.

[@whoopsie321]

Nice guide I've been watching videos on this game and can't wait for it to come to PC. When do you think it'll be released on steam? I'm hoping this summer sometime.

[@avenger1_gbo260]

Thanks for watching! Yeah summer sounds like a good bet. Some people predict its coming for this years anniversary but I think it might be a little bit before that.

[@holdenk380]

Greatly appreciated and informative but a little late, unless the test got an extension

[@avenger1_gbo260]

Yeah I planned to get this out yesterday but unfortunately got sidetracked. Still it is equally applicable to consoles and should still be useful for PC players whenever the next test comes, or the actual full release.

[@xStarborn]

Youre so cool avenger. Got any open slots in your clan? I play daily, but dont have discord.

[@avenger1_gbo260]

Unfortunately I have no open spaces. I have a short waiting list as it is already as well.

[@user-ue8yy1yv6c]

OMG my gp01 is good for beginers nice ms :D

[@yoyoyouka]

Raids are Running Back Generals are Line Backer Support are Quarter Back General, especially melee focused, should be the bouncer of the team. Opening way for Raids and Support personal bodyguards. When not necessarily reckless, a good General shouldn't be afraid to taking damage for the team.

[@ghostjokster5852]

How to get access to the beta?

[@avenger1_gbo260]

It is free on Steam/PC. It is an open beta so anyone can join on the store page.

[@ghostjokster5852]

For me it says the game is still on beta and can’t install it

[@owentang546]

Why Gundam and not GM Custom?

[@avenger1_gbo260]

Well I thought that the Gundam would be more recognizable and was what a lot of newer players might wanna try. But the advice can pretty easily be swapped around to play the GM Custom instead, since the playstyle is fundamentally the same as GM II or Gundam.

[@Dr.pp4256]

Gundam is cool

[@StalkRay]

Cause its the main figure of the franchise

[@quantizedanson]

I agree with Owen, in my opinion GM Custom is a bit better than Grandpa Gundam in almost every aspect except the Melee Priority on Saber

[@Dr.pp4256]

@@quantizedanson Yeah you’re not wrong. Gramps needs some buffs
