[Gold Tips] How To Catch a Gold On Noise

Catching A Gold Box on Noise

 

Hello, I_Am_Unkown here and today I will be giving you some advice on how to catch a gold box on one of the most popular mid-ranked maps, Noise. Gold boxes are fun to catch, and if playing at a lower rank, useful as they immediately add 1,000 crystals directly to your wallet. So get reading and enjoy these tips!

 

 

 

Today, I will be talking about three common drop locations, which I have labeled 1, 2, and 3.

For all three drop locations, the most effective hull to use is Viking. Now, most players would resort to a taller hull, such as Dictator or even Hunter. Now some of these tips can be done by Hunter and Dictator, but in a smaller map like Noise, where good speed but most importantly excellent health are essential parts in catching golds, other hulls might not meet certain criteria. However, your turret may depend on which team you are on, as well as your playing style, but the most likely choices are Smoky and Hammer.

 

 

The First Drop Location

To start off, for the first drop location, I would focus mainly on using Smoky. After I tell you where to wait for the gold to drop, I will then tell you why Smoky. The second you hear the gold siren, and spot the gold symbol on the ground, go to the side of the house, and directly to the right of the gold location.

Most tankers will wait in the tunnel to try and jump the gold box. This means that when the gold box gets close enough, they will activate a speed boost, and jump on top of other tankers, and onto the gold box. Knowing this, you can put this to your advantage! While waiting on the location marked in the above photo, wait for the tanker in the tunnel to activate a speed boost, then immediately jump on top of him. Depending on how you like to play, try changing your camera angle by pressing the ‘Q’ and ‘E’ keys. Depending on how you angle your camera, it can help you balance your tank and keep you from falling. When the tanker then attempts to catch the gold box to their surprise (and dismay) you will have caught it instead! However, this may not always be case. If there is a tanker underneath the tanker you jumped upon, the tower of tankers might be getting wobbly! To prevent this, your Smoky comes into play. When the tanker you jumped upon tries to throw you off by moving forward and backwards, use your Smoky’s recoil to prevent this.

 

Many players may come up with their own turret that best suits their style, but each gun has their own pros and con in each unique situation. For example, Thunder and Striker both have excellent recoil, however their is a potential risk that you might kill yourself. So if you are going to use these guns, beware of the splash damage! Another gun that you might want to use instead of Smoky is Hammer. I would not recommend this because of Hammer's slow reload time. We all know that when a gold box siren occurs, a few people, if not many say “no kill”. However, 9 out of 10 times, there will always be that one “noob” that kills you, right? When this happens you will need to fight back, and sure, Hammer is great for flipping opponents, or even completely destroying them, but once you use up two of your precious bullets, or maybe even all three, the reload time will definitely cost you. This is definitely not the case for Smoky. High reload time means that you can take out multiple opponents in quick succession. And even though you might take some damage, a skilled tanker can alter the course of the opponent by shooting the opponent in the corner of his or her tank. Of course this will only work if the opponent is using a light hull such as Wasp or Hornet. But then of course you can use your Viking’s speed to run away.

 

Now back to avoiding falling off the opponent you jumped on. Fire in the direction he is moving and this will help cancel out any extra movement. Another way to help further prevent this is by actually using your hull! Very carefully, drive in the opposite way the tanker under you is moving and this can help. However this is dangerous because if you fall off the tanker, you chance to catch the gold will be gone! I would highly recommend practicing with a friend or two to help get better at using this technique.

 

 

 

The Second Drop Location

This drop location is potentially the most easiest and yet dangerous drop location of them all. While potential catching the gold with no problem, another hostile enemy tank might want to try and copy you so read carefully! Once you hear the siren, and confirm that the drop location is indeed where it should be, maneuver your tank to the side of the small shack, and to the left of the red team flag.

Once the you can see the gold box starting to fall, start advancing to this location:

Then jump onto the tanks below and slowly make your way to the gold. Now remember, there will be a bunch of tanks stacked up on each other so be careful! Just like the first gold box you will need to use your Smoky’s recoil to help keep you on top of all the tanks. If you time it just right, you may not even have to use a Health box! However, I would highly reccomend using a Double Health just in case there is that sneaky Railgun trying to kill you. With luck, this might be an easy gold for you!

 

 

The Third Drop Location

For this drop location, it will be a bit more complex as to how to catch the gold. Use Viking of course, but for this location, if possible, use Hammer. Like the first drop location, I will tell you why Hammer at the end of the explanation.

 

The second you hear the drop location, self destruct ONLY if you are on a CTF mode, and on the red team. This is because you will spawn towards the top. If you are on the blue team and on CTF mode, ONLY hit self destruct if you are lower than 50% health and if there is not a friendly Isida on your team. When you self destruct, you must move quickly behind the large house/garage structure after you respawn. However, this can be a bit tricky depending on how offensive your team is. Try to avoid tanks, stay low, and don’t fire your weapon if possible. Just remember, the enemy team wants to catch the gold, so they won’t attempt to kill anyone as long as you don’t try to kill them!

 

If you are on the blue team, you will need to hurry as you may not make it depending on how many tankers are in your way. This is why you will need to decide for yourself whether or not to hit self destruct.

Make your way to the side of the garage here:

Once you reach the location, hold ‘E’ on you keyboard, which will move your camera all the way down. This will allow you to wait for to see when the gold is dropping. The second you see the gold box, activate a speed boost, and wait about three seconds. This part is essential to catching the gold. Most tankers will rush this step and completely miss the gold box, don’t be those people! After you count to three rush up the ramp and shoot backwards. This will result in the backside of your hull lifting up, and efficiently catching the gold. However, this DOES take a lot of practice. I would highly recommend practicing alone and attempting to catch the health box, just a short distance away from the gold drop location. Once you get the hang of it, you’re ready to catch this gold!

 

 

Good luck catching golds and hope my tips help! Any further questions? PM me and I’ll get to you ASAP!

- Redacted personal information

- A few assorted edits to make sentences a little more solid

- Changed "here" to "hear" once

- Removed a few unneeded and confusingly used

- Added some possessive endings ( 's )

- Capitalized hull names a few times

- A few other assorted formatting edits

 

Approved.

 

Nice job. Just in case you didn't notice, there's an issue with the images where they all show up as the same image. So you might want to fix that as soon as possible and update it. Additionally, you should move the images from LunaPic onto an image hosting website such as Imgur.

Seems more than a little bit similar to Gold Guide: Noise. Maybe the text itsself is different, but considering he is taking it point by point (for only 3 points) and explaining specific strategies for each on a map that has already been done, its more than a coincidence. For his drop zone 1 (the same one as my zone 1, I believe), he outlines the EXACT same strategy. This article uses the same format, and talks about the same strategies. I call plagiarism.

Hey guys, how can i put my image directly into the article instead of using a link?

 

Whenever I copy and paste the link address, then click post, it says "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community."

I took a look at both articles, and they are similar, but this one is pretty surely not copied from your article. Just because his strategies are the same as yours doesn't mean anything. Are you saying that if someone tells others a strategy, others can use it too? It's arguably the best one, and I'd be disappointed if he told us a less-than-ideal way to get golds just because he wanted to differentiate his article. Thank you for letting me know, but I don't believe it is plagiarised, You can take this up with me later if it warrants more discussion.

Gold box will be dropped soon!! Others : " OMG GOLD"

                                               Happshot : capped the last flag :P

 

Nice one, though its a lot similar to swimmer's. I would advice that you shouldn't write on the topics which have already been written on

I don't know if I'm being completely stupid, but surely this sentence should be written as : "Gold boxes are fun to catch,and (if playing at a lower rank) can be useful as they immediately add 1,000 crystals directly to your wallet" - I guess a pair of dashes could be used instead of the brackets... That sentence doesn't really make sense to be honest.

 

Anyway, I'm only a noob, so what do I know?... :ph34r:

I would personally phrase the sentence to be alike to your suggestion, but as AWS Helpers we try to change the author's text as little as possible ideally. So since his current version I'm pretty sure is grammatically correct enough, I didn't end up altering it.

For the images, you can try saving them, then uploading them to imgur or prnt.sc.

Good job. :)

Ahh okay.

 

I knew I was right :ph34r:

Please don't insult other players. Thanks!

You are being completely stupid [No offense intended]

 

Ow, that hurt...

 

Anyway,the fact that a reporter agreed with me doesn't back up what you just said.
