Also, I’ve found that the direction you fire Flocks affect the efficiency. If you fire them “forward” from mid-rear of the build, it goes up and over your build essentially creating a “shield.” Firing them to the side or rear are only really good if you’re trying to outrun rockets from behind.

Devs didnt just remove hitscan, they nerf MGs to the ground,result over 1k players are gone(maybe less maybe more,becouse we have only steam charts)

Aurora got buffed, might want to start running those. Especially since they're still hitscan.
@AegisAuras2 күн бұрын
I believe it was only hitscan removal and ammo addition for MGs, in regards to nerfs. They added penetration damage as a slight buff. Hitscan was just so powerful that it caused the weapon group to be largely ignored simply by removing it. MGs were high tier to straight meta in the mid PS ranges for so many years that I don’t miss them, honestly. It’s nice not having to worry so much about getting stripped or have all your deployables destroyed instantly. The mg nerf has allowed at lot of other builds to come out of the woodwork that weren’t viable previously because they were hard countered by MGs.

So Crossout really isn't getting any better, huh? I already left because of how insanely difficult and expensive it was to get certain gear, especially Legendary stuff, but I really don't think I'll ever come back! Old Crossout was fun when I felt like I had a fighting chance, but that is long gone!

@@AegisAuras every MG had 100 % now have 70-80% penetration,its not about you or me,ppl playn around globe with lags and they needed hitscan and you need to coment and rather have empty servers,picture is wider than your or my opinion,i have good ping and i was not MG main but my friends was just becouse of ping,after changes they try to play with other stuf and just move out from game

@@splitskiir1390 previously hitscan weapons were incapable of having penetration damage due to the difficulty in coding such. So MGs had 0% pen previously. There’s still several weapons that are still hitscan, anything laser based. So aurora, Athena, destructors, etc. Outside of those there’s always been entire categories of weapons that are largely or completely autonomous, essentially every drone, most mines. Then there are auto lock on weapons like hurricanes, nests, pyres, etc. Theres also weapons that you still need to aim but they don’t require high accuracy, like mandrake, incinerators, heather, etc. I use most of the weapons mentioned above and they are viable at many levels of play. Some are viable even in clan wars, like Athena. Crossout has a large variety of options available for those with bad ping. I don’t believe quitting the game because MGs no longer hitscan is a very reasonable reaction, imo. Especially when hitscan as a function still exists in the game. Even it a player only wanted to use hitscan aiming weapons, they still could even now.

I believe swarms count as homing rockets even tho theyre not called that. If you look at the challenges when it says rockets, the list shows them in the homing rockets category

Been using an incinerator combo for years, currently with twin pyrallids which is amusing. Tried the swarm/incini combo on heli but wasn't super impressed, may give it another go.

not bad combo, as far as mixing weapons on a build goes normally i am against most mixing
@JBRider2 күн бұрын
True, mixing was never really viable but with the recent energy changes and the introduction of the Swarm, Fukibari and Punji mixing Weapons might become a thing now.
@shawnfoogle9202 күн бұрын
i wish swarms did less damage to shields. But the barrier instantly breaks and you still receive like 50% of the damage. Also these are the biggest counter to crickets.

Hey JB, hi guys! I've been looking into getting some Icarus movement parts. Never played a hover before, but I'm not new to the game (>1000 hours in). Which Icarus would you say is better for builds using Kaiju, Destructors, Quasars? Icarus IV or VII? Thanks in advance!

1300 hours. Ikar IV is much better.

I think cyclones are more op, starfalls can aim higher. But it seems more and more people play autocanons, I worry more about the matchmaking.

Im a little late to the Swarm party (having just made my first Swarm build about two weeks ago), but I noticed something interesting after a couple days of play.: I started with the Steppe Spider cabin and found that I wasn't landing my shots. When I did hit, they were devastating. Next, I tried the Dusk cabin, but figured with the reduced accuracy, I would struggle even more to land my shots... I was wrong. It was easy to hit, but the damage was meh. So I went back to the garage to take a closer look... Compared to all other cabins, the Dusk and the Steppe Spider actually change the size of the targeting template. The Dusk (increased spread) template is huge, while the Steppe Spider (increased accuracy) is tiny. Essentially, the Steppe Spider perk translates to a tighter grouping or less spread. Have you guys noticed this?
