: facepalms: Do you even "impulse grenade launcher" with The Punisher Main Weapon?

[@Marxman-bi5yu]

Tip from a LA Ambusher main if your looking to get into them. While your not as able to climb with them as a Skirmisher or Icarus pack if you know what to look for the maps are actually designed fairly well that you can navigate most buildings in a few jumps. Many buildings have angled roofs that allow you to jump up and kinda push yourself over onto the top the last few seconds of your burst, likewise a lot of taller buildings have various smaller buildings or objects that you can jump onto and then onto the taller building from. A good example of the former would be the buildings with a bridge connecting the larger building to a crescent building and sometimes a web of beams overhead, the larger building has a low point between it's two "roofs" right above one of the door ways that you can get up to with the Ambushers, likewise the balcony on the crescent building is accessible due to the sloped roof. A lot of using Ambushers is just reading the terrain looking for things that you can jump on or over, it's a very high mobility jetpack that demands a high mobility play style with a mindset that compliments it, and with basically requiring safefall to get the most out of it you are also a dare devil and a risk taker, once you get safefall high enough do NOT be afraid to take a fall from any height to get away from something, get to something or relocate. The only time you will have to worry about that is if you are jumping off the highest structures in the game (Tech Plants, Biolabs, rock bridges, air towers, etc) and even then you can usually midigate that by bursting a few seconds before hitting the ground, and at the highest levels safefall will still take most the brunt and at most you'll loose your shield. Also another less detailed but all the more valuable tip: Learn to use rooftops as cover. They aern't just your friend, their your best friend that will take hits for you if need be. Using those angled roof edges I mentioned to expose as little of you as possible and simply backing up when at the edge of a flat roof can completely obstruct an enemies view of you. If you REALLY need to duck out though back up a few steps and crouch, that's something I learned when dealing with people who are really good at headshots, because just backing up will leave your head exposed just long enough for them to get you.

[@Marxman-bi5yu]

@@mas0ny149 Yeah, hear ya there. All I can really say is that to start out skirimishers aern't a bad idea, they teach ya good rooftop play and flanking. If anything I'd put certs into nanoweave or if you'd rather make an investment into making more certs play medic or engineer and upgrade your medical/repair tool when and where you can. Just be sure to only revive people when it's both safe for you to revive them and safe for them to be revived, no point reviving someone only to get shot or them die right after being revived.

[@MADSLAYER47]

press and hold crouch with drifter jets to become friction less, allows you to climb up terrain and dive into windows quickly.

[@mossblomma]

Drifter jumpjets made LA my go-to infantry class when not dealing with any specific threat, they are fantastic in evolving the flanking/planning/scheming playstyle of the LA, one short thing to say about them that I don't think you mentioned: if you're trying to scale a mostly vertical surface that has some slope to it, like a rock/hossin tree/most cliffs/some buildings, then you can W into them and scale them a lot faster than you could if you just relied on your standard upwards thrust when not pressing any direction buttons. You're only a target when hovering mid-air if you do so at the altitudes people look for light assaults, instead, get to a high vantage point and drift very high up in the air to your desired flanking location, usually locations that other LA can't reach because they simply don't have the long-range mobility to get there without ending up against enemies due to fuel problems. Going for the long+high flank is fantastic for busting entrenched sunderers (you usually need a burst or two of your rocklet rifle as well against sundies) or careful tank mains, they simply don't expect a player to be 100 meter above them with no nearby buildings or normally jet pack scalable rocks. Another thing you can do with drifts is to simply hang in dead angles (areas where the enemies can't see you unless you go up or down), like large base towers between the second and third floor (the first floor being the entrance and having the elevators).

[@lizard44]

In making these videos have you considered reaching out to the wider community of skilled players? There are some clear points in this video where they could clear up misinformation and provide advice on improving your content. Two quick examples of this being your statements on Iccarus - regarding horizontal movement and it being incredibly situational (this would suit your tips and tricks section, as the concept of jetting into angled terrain is relevant for all jumpjets). Secondly, looking at a prior video, nowhere in your medic video is it mentioned that activating your "F heal" before reviving roughly halves the time to revive. Little tips and tricks like these some of the best players of their class would be happy to tell you and would lend legitimacy to your guides. As it stands the community of skilled players are strongly against recommending your guides to new players, as all they appear to offer is a very basic understanding of game packaged in a long video. Tldr please reach out to the community of skilled players. We'd love to help large content creators like yourself improve the quality of your content.

[@zakadams762]

Didn't know about the medic trick

[@abyssalspecter93]

Duuuude I'm almost certain that I was at that Hossin fight that starts at 11:50, that was super intense. Your POV is crazy, I need to upload mine, I had a ton of fun. I think I was playing NC also but I don't remember. If it wasn't this fight it was a very similar situation haha, that's such an interesting base to fight at. Great guide too. 2.5k hours in game but I still enjoy watching videos like this for others' takes on how they play etc.

[@bluecarrotrm]

I played a lot of engineer in my first couple of years of PlanetSide and I found that my favorite way to play engineer was to jump into a lightning and use it in very much the same way that light assault is used but on the scale of armor. When I came to the realization that I prefer to use my engineer for flanking I decided to try out light assault. Since then I have mostly played light assault. Finding an angle and forcing an enemy to turn their attention away from the main body of your army really is an awful lot of fun. Maybe you rack up the kills yourself because the enemy is focused on where are the other infantry are. Maybe you get iced but the main Infantry clean up the area because of your sacrifice. Either way, the battlefield has changed from your action. Great class and great video

[@paulb5571]

A bit late to respond but here I am. Some of the most fun I've had in game has been riding in a battle galaxy, which looks for vehicles that the gunners slowly chip away at. Anyone not in a gun can go light assault with drifter jets and C4(Called a C4 "Fairy"). Watch your map for when you are right above an enemy vehicle, and hop out. Hit your jets as close to the ground as you are comfortable and drop your C4 from above. Redeploy back into the Galaxy for more C4 and repeat. On lucky runs I've taken out small armor columns with 2-3 light assault units. I can only imagine how satisfying it is for the Galaxy driver to see the Transport Assist XP shortly after we hop out. Also lets you jump out and drift with your Rocklet rifle to dissuade enemy aircraft from your Galaxy.

[@57ashdot]

Suppression is often often overlooked for LAs, but run suppressors on your weapons when possible as a LA. Concealing your position is super important, as loosing your element of surprise gives up the main advantage of this class. Sensor Shield implant has great synergy with LA's running suppressors. You won't show up on recon devices while getting into position anymore, which is going to GREATLY increase your survivability and chances of setting up a favorable encounter (enemy either totally unaware, or aware but does not know your location). Also allows you to set up pretty devastating C4 traps, get directly behind choke positions and fire at the backs of a tons of enemy heads grouped behind it. Definitely run Sensor Shield as one of your two implants for LA.

[@chrisnewbury3793]

FYI jump-pads+LA = Slingshotting. It is known. AFAIK, at least on Waterson, I was the first one doing it with drifters. That was before the drifters got buffed a little so you could jump over shit. Now with Catlike 5 I never leave home without drifters, catlike, and minor cloak. Basically it makes you the Predator. Add the Eclipse VE3 and you have infinite ammo for your carbine. Then with ASP you can add an SMG as secondary for an extremely deadly loadout.

[@EBoredGuy]

Thanks to your insane FOV, I have just discovered that your planetman actually tosses the mag away when using the pdw. (11:54) And I've been playing this game for quite some time now. (ps4) The more you know!

[@tommys.3491]

Great vid - i've played a metric shitload of light assault (almost always my first auraxium on characters), and this guide is solid all around. I think I would add some notes about the mindset behind the class. I think that to spite the fact that light assault shares part of its name with heavy assault, LA is actually a fair bit closer to playing infiltrator. You really have to pick your engagements and capitalise on the mayhem in order to get the most out of this class. The lack of nanoregen / overshield means that, unless you score huge initial damage, you typically cannot win against a HA or combat medic. Thus, giving yourself that element of surprise and being able to pick your engagements is key to coming out on top. While the infiltrator gets his cloak, you get the manoeuvrability - how you use it is what makes the difference between a great LA and a terrible one. For instance, besides flanking, having an escape route at all times is your best bet for staying alive. That, and not being lazy - like you said, you should always be on the move and never staying in one place for too long. Overall, love the vid and everything you've been doing to teach new/returning players. keep up the great work! (P.S. - Gotta Love the moukass call out ! (that guy is one hell of a L.A. player)) o7

[@CAMIKAZE78]

Cheers for the feedback mate! Definitely agree on the whole mentality side of things, the class is very much an agent of chaos when played correctly and to do so, you really need to get in that headspace that you outlined above. Apprecaite the input mate!

[@zakadams762]

I've invented a play style that is more confrontational than heavy or max with a LA

[@zakadams762]

You can go head to head with a full squad and maxes with the victory.

[@zakadams762]

You can use catlike to increase the dodging ability head to head. The rest you'll have to discover

[@cleansweepgaming2564]

Any time you're jump-jetting, using the movement keys doesn't add to your existing momentum, it begins overwriting it. This is most noticeable when jumppad catapulting, but it also applies in general. Skirmisher jumpjets only move you horizontally at about walking speed, but if you sprint off a roof and jumpjet sideways without using movement keys, you can jumpjet at sprint speed or higher by slingshotting with gravity. Also, C4 is finicky when used on moving vehicles. Try to use it on stationary or slow-moving ones, otherwise it may not deal full damage. Along with that, you can detonate and throw a brick at the same time, so you may sometimes want to detonate the first brick while throwing the second, rather than trying to plant both and then detonate them. Many LA mains recommend using the Symbiote implant for its 20% smalls arms reduction so that you can use the suit slot for Flight Suit, Grenade Bandolier, or other items instead of Nanoweave Vest. Symbiote is pretty rare though, I don't have it yet.

[@danredebeer9733]

Notes, for the jump pad drifting, hold forward (and obviously jump). This works, because of how velocity is handled in planetside, because holding forward makes your momentum based on where you are looking at approach maximum speed. If you are over this maximum speed, you will slow down. However, this slowing down does not apply to left and right momentum, so you keep that when you perform this action. Its also why you should start at roughly the apex of your jump

[@KnjazNazrath]

Did the infil guide get deleted? I'm noticing a deleted vid in the guides playlist. If not, any chance of making a vid on a knifer / scout style infil alongside the usual "sniper vs smg" infil vids? Here's hoping that stealth caps come back, really sucks to come back after an absence and find they've gone. That being said, I've just started playing Light Assault recently and I'm finding this guide p useful :)

[@Morgan-ld7gq]

Hey man, this is mostly a great guide for newer players. Something you might not be aware of: Skirmisher and ASC do NOT stack in reducing shield recharge delay. While ASC still provides some benefit in the form of recharge speed, it's generally not advised to run both.

[@jamps_tv8778]

Great video can't wait for a HA guide

[@marcoe14]

[@benjaminsambol]

Long time light assault main here, one of my favorite tricks is if you see a max run and wait around a corner, and drop the c4 on their head as they approach thinking they’re in for a free kill. Also, use this class to clean out that hill of pesky infiltrators

Icarus is personally my favorite. If I Enter a building and am outnumbered. I quickly rush out and boost to the roof in literally a second. This gives me time to drop a c4 before the enemy chases me out the door and I blow them to bits.

I be rocking the ambusher jets though, maxed out all the gear yesterday and it is a BLAST, I love being able to jump straight onto peoples heads and blast em right in the face

[@RK0978]

Been playing since Beta, and have come back to the game now and then. In my experience, Light Assaults (LAs) work best (as with all classes) when the enemy is busy with your teammates. It is much easier to flank as an LA on your own, and it's absolutely brutal when you're assaulting behind a contested frontline. Like the MAX, you can be the difference between a stalemate and a decisive assault/defense. A good flank in the right place and right time can break enemy resistance, just as a frontal assault by just one supported MAX can break the enemy. NEVER take a heavy class head-on if you don't have the clear advantage over them. Heavies are your worst nightmare in a head-to-head fight as they move too fast for a cheeky clutch C4 to take them out. Your advantage is always mobility, learn how to get in and get out of combat. LAs are not made to massacre entire enemy positions (though they can, but good luck doing that successfully on a consistent basis). Your role is distracting and messing with the enemy (much like an Infiltrator with more firepower) -- weakening your enemy's flank enough can force them to divert attention to you. The moment your enemy knows you're around, GET OUT -- you've done your job, and it's up to your team to push the advantage. That's all!!

[@tydwill2009]

@@tydwill2009 I can't testify if that's true, but as a former cadet, I can definitely say I'd prefer our bootcamp over having to re-learn the mechanics of PS2 hahaha

[@tsillaots8962]

I just use the NS-66 Punisher's specialized launcher to fly with. If you look behind you fast and shoot the launcher you can get a huge boost sometimes

[@winstonzhang3111]

for the last loadout... I also suggest bringing the one shot kill knife of your prespective faction. you'll have a hell of a time there trust me ;)

[@bananaboye3759]

I'll have to disagree with you on the Icarus jets: in my opinion, they're better than skirmishers in 90% of scenarios if you learn the mechanics. The reason it feels like they don't have any horizontal movement is because of a mechanic called horizontal air braking. Basically, every jump jet has a max horizontal speed, and Icarus has the lowest one. If you try to use your jump jets to accelerate when you are flying faster than the speed cap, it will actually reduce your speed. The way to counteract this is to aim perpendicular to the direction of your movement so you aren't attempting to increase your forward movement. If you do a sprint jump and use that initial velocity to carry you horizontally, you can move just as fast as the skirmishers. Once you have that mechanic mastered, Icarus is just faster. It has about the same horizontal movement (although it is a bit slower to change directions mid air) and it accelerates you much faster vertically. Aside from the ambushers, this is the only jet that is fast enough to be used in a gunfight to throw off your opponent's aim. If you learn surfing, which is a more advanced technique, you can reach really fast horizontal speeds as well which allows you to have very quick rollouts. When combined with punisher jumping, you can cross insane distances in a few seconds.

[@Jokerfaic]

Excellent rocklet shot in the beginning. Coming back to PS2 after however long it was since construction was first put in, the rocklet rifle confused, scared and annoyed me, and I thought I was gonna hate it. My opinion had reversed quite quickly.

[@DEEZ_N4T]

I find the Icarus useful for gaining high ground fast or countering enemies on the high ground, it’s also pretty useful for those sudden vertical ambushes, you can scale walls faster than a fully upgraded skirmisher which makes escaping faster. It’s pretty great imo

[@jeremyheeffer2145]

Agreed, i use them with a cqc carbine and everytime i encounter a enemy i just fly up fast and hipfire headshot them

I would actually like to share a loadout.: Aerial Anomalies: Some kind of a carbine Hunter with explosive bolts Rocklet Rifle with Locklets Drifter Jumpjets Flight suit so it will last longer or ammunition belt Frag Grenade C4 Basic Knife Implants are personal opinion. I like to pull a reaver when aerial anomalies start and when I go down I quickly jump out activate my jets and get my locklet rifle after that the hunter and then the carbine, if any aircraft gets really close or is standing in the air I go up to them and throw some C4.

i personally use the mod that turn you invisible when you take fall damages instead of safe fall, paired with the epic mode that give you higher shield at the cost of health with a shootgun, its quite fun to use

[@KaDaJxClonE]

I find the Typhoon rocklets to be a good upgrade because its most often used against vehicles and these dumbfire HEAT rounds do much more damage. 90% bet, if you detonate a C4 on a vehicle, they'll instantly try to run and wont fight back which gives you plenty of time to put 2 salvo's of typhoon rocklets into it, killing it. and now you've got another C4 for the party bus.

[@strikeforce1500]

This is more for mid game, but if you get an S version of your carabine, you can get a Smoke launcher and carry any other grenade that you want. Also, and this is more in emergency, blast a volley of rocklets on maxes, it is better from behind since the max will have to urn around

[@DennisGarage]

Im a fairly new player and have a question regarding different classes/characters. I have my character on level 13 now I think and have played mainly Heavy Assault.

That doesnt seem right, the tanto I'm my opinion is a mix between a shotgun and an SMg, it has spread from the get go and flying aimed 0 spread makes no sense, maybe I'm wrong tho

[@chape7489]

@@sheepieworks4974 Tanto is more like a high precision NS-11C but weaker in every single aspect, saying is a shotgun/SMG is totally wrong cause this weapon is the worst for close quarter combat, even weaker than a pistol, the flying accuracy i think is a hidden feature

How do you get the cyclone?

C4 + Rocklet Rifle with those +damage Heads, +Ambusher +Suit = insane vehicle killer

Ive read adv shield and survivalist aren't stackable. What's the truth?

[@liveer9232]

Icarius is very great becuase your enemy rarly see it in actions. In short term they just dont know how to deal with it. Just like when the ns max was released. It was to overpowering because no one knew how to deal with them. But at this time they are alot more easier to deal with. I recommendnd using on brigdes fights to take care of those enemy light assults quickly after finding them and biolabs to get up fast. I find to many people taking for ever to get up high, which takes a long time and is easy prey. But with the icarius no need to worry.

[@darksceptre7]

Unless it was patched out, you can “climb” vertical structures and surfaces with the Drifter jumpjets by mashing yourself against said surface, then holding W and Space. I just love the Drifters since they give you a “freerunner” feel lol

[@versenova5531]

im gonna try to stay away from c4... last time i used it and killed multiple things it wasnt the intented target. instead it was every single teammate in the area

[@michaelmoran4012]

i can't find the smoke bolt on my crossbow... or did i buy the wrong one ? ( sorta new to the game only lvl 19)

[@user-zl7jt7zr9l]

They were removed with a patch some time after as i reckon

[@elQueFaltaba]

20:40 I'm having a lot of fun moments with something very similar to your Surprise loadout. But it indeed took some time to get used to the jumping distances and heights, the recharge, the landing .. also, not fan of shotguns

[@niero4201]

Same, for my version of the "Surprise" loadout I normally run just the standard Carbine and Pistol, and my focus is on using one of the power knives.

[@PatrixBest]

Don't need luck for a mid-air kill. Depending what carbine you're using, you can accurately take out enemies up to 30m away while mid-air, and reliably take out enemies in the 10-20m range

Yo @CAMIKAZE78 can you do a shotgun guide vid with the best implants? I really want to get better with shotguns.

Oh stop it you beautiful boi, thanks for being the thumbnail model man!

[@voyomaypl1608]

Question to vets and people who know stuff. Is adrenaline pump any good? Personaly I prefer to take 20% smal arms dmg reduction but I'm casual so mayby it's useful.

[@xRhongomyniad]

Adrenaline pump is good on special implant builds. The one required implant to use it is symbiote. This still give you the 20% resistance, while giving you the extra speed.

[@rixxy9204]

Hey Camikaze78 did you make a Heavy Assault Guide?

[@provalivay]

I can do a quick HA guide for you: 1. Press "F" 2. Celebrate

I feel like I'm gonna see myself dying in this video lol

[@DrPotato0]

The light assault is not chaotic just versatile from dealing with large crowds to killing tanks to flanking and taking points and destroying sentrys

[@lt_bacon205]

I play Light assault sparingly mostly due to me being a Heavy and a Engi armor main so C4 Fairies have left bad tastes in my mouth so I feel dirty playing it at times

[@JohnFromAccounting]

Organised platoons doing drifter jet C4 fairies is premium fertilised dirt.

[@honorguard7616]

I know that feeling

[@noblehawkins9506]

If we’re talking asp, I would take the concussion grenade over msg secondary. Use it with grenade bandolier and you can quite literally walk into the point among stunned enemies. Works well with shotgun CQC + ambushed.

[@JohnFromAccounting]

Do not spend your ASP on concussion grenades. ASP are best used for primary weapons in the secondary slot. You will get the most value out of the extra weapon opportunities than a grenade.

[@WitchDoctor87]

Icarus jets need some kind of change, for sure.

[@niero4201]

I love them for one purpose. I hide in gaps on buildings or terrain, then launch myself right up next to enemy ESFs and drop c4 on them as they go past.

[@niero4201]

I'll add that this is not effective at all, takes a ton of patience and trial and error. But my god is it fun and it can really trigger some people when some little shit just appears in front of their cockpit holding C4

[@ataraxia4526]

I don't use safe fall with ambusher. It's totally doable. If I need to jump down from high places I just use the ambusher to land down. No problem.

[@CAMIKAZE78]

The reason I suggest it is that in the past (don't know if it is the same case now), I have always taken damage from not just high places, but using the Ambushers as intended and having the terrain dip slightly. It just gives the Ambushers a little more adaptability without injuring you I think.

[@WantEpicMusic]

yeah @@CAMIKAZE78 is right -- on totally flat ground, holding Ambushers thrust for the full duration will leave you with ~100 damage from the fall.

How do u move so damn fast? Im moving like turtle even with sprint

[@fromaggio7654]

I use maxed catlike with drifters, very practical for c4-fu!

[@emerykj1830]

Light assaults would be 10x less powerful if I could climb up a 15 degree slope as any other class, but unfortunately I need a jetpack to do that
