Yea I have EMP rounds for Railgun from the Challenge, useful but not game-changing I would say. However I'm still unsure about how Railgun fares at Mk7 and higher ranks since everyone seems to have protections from it. I refuse to use Hopper even though I also have Crisis (only level 4 btw) because it is basically too easy, at least for the capture modes. In my opinion, especially as of late, the hovering hulls just trump the non-hovering ones with regards to OD. Look at Hopper, Crusader and Ares - with their superior OD charge times and better handling, I feel like (particularly the latter two) are underutilised but maybe that's just me.

Reminded me of this: https://youtu.be/zLFbm6YckoU?t=20

Really? When? A few days ago in a private battle I could still drop golds.

Wait, you're seriously suggesting Viking's OD as a counter to Hopper-Crisis? How many times per battle do you think I'll be able to use that, given how slowly it charges?

Something funny I discovered: when you type "Opex" in Russian (meaning how they were referring to Hazel in the comments), it resembles the Russian for "nut" ? ?

@Maf Care to name any F2P counters to the Hopper Crisis combo?

By the way, a word of advice - if you ever decide to play with the hovering hulls it's far better to use a mouse - I'd say worth buying a mouse if you don't have one already, even a cheap one will do. But regular, non-hovering hulls are still easier to control with the OG keyboard controls, at least for me.

This is why you make the battle Private if you wanna drop golds for yourself or take screenshots, etc.

I mean, I'm not surprised - he's been using the Hopper Crisis combo for months.

On a large map with a fast hull, Engineer actually seems like a pretty strong drone, especially when maxed.

Engineer shares repair kits with allies as well?

A classic:

The problem is, the purpose and objective of the game these days is not to have fun AND progress on the way, but to do missions for the rewards WITHOUT it being a pleasant experience, like it used to be. Ultimately, in my opinion the game will never succeed if the devs determine that the purpose of the game is no longer primarily to have fun FIRST and everything else being secondary, as was the case years ago.

I guess this... ...is the answer to this.

That's an odd comparison.

I'm thinking on buying one or two combos to use until the higher ranks. What are some good/underrated options?

How is that going to happen when TO is losing players by the day? Less players means wider rank spreads = greater unbalance.

I still don't get what the point of this event was... like, was SJR that unpopular that they had to bring out the special Jugs for one day?

@RIDDLER_8 I am amazed - amazed at how you always seem to get good rewards no matter what.

To add to this, I think some people don't realise just how much better the hovering hull (especially Hopper) experience is with mouse controls rather than keyboard. Well done, Captain Obvious.

Stop getting such good rewards!

True, but if you're using mobile or mouse controls (which most hovering hull users are using), the slow turret rotation speed can't be avoided.

Which section was that?
