Let's Discuss Shaft!

[prince2004 2]

I myself don't have shaft, but when I want to use weapons I don't have I use my friends account, muthanna2004 who is a master seargent .

 

I wish loading time was faster, close range shooting if u miss that's the end of you

Yep, killing Druggers with one hit while they use their First Aids is awesome!!!

Can support attacks as well as defend its base in choke points. Identifying and targeting teams greatest threats to your flag and removing them first. Able to shoot the flies chasing your teammate that just captured the flag. Ramming opponents to block off access to a quick steal of your teams flag and in the case of a massed rush you just wait to shoot your opponent at a choke point. It usually gums up the massed attack. They don't have to ride across the field like the light brigade. Grab a couple of mines and protect your blind side. Boring to be planted in one area but yet very effective. Consider them heavy artillery and when used properly they add an additional dimension to the teams success.

i have masterd a few weapons

1 rail

2 isida

3 shaft

 

thats all i use shaft on a light hull normaly hornet i move around shoot 2-3 times move to a new spot it can be easily pwned unless you now what your doing then you will relise you mold the outcome of the battle like puddy

 

my tips

find high grounds that overlooks the battle so you can no your surroundinds

 

2 have limited ways to get to you make sure if you do find an enemy coming make sure you can slam a shell into them not stand out in the middle

 

3 easy cover make sure its availible

 

4 team comunication have your team tell you where they are so you can help them next tell them where the enemy is for the advantage

 

5 shoot at pointes that that really mess somone up like hornet if you cant kill shoot at gun barrels and edges

 

6 if going againt rail 1v1 dont shoot wait for light and shoot the tracks the railgun will likley miss unless really good if they miss run and hide it will buy you some time but not much

 

7 if un a hill when the person goes up shoot and ram them if they have a wasp or hornet they will flip

dont kill them this will take them out of the battle for around 15 seconds

 

hope these help some

Hello 

So anyone tried to MU shaft to opt scope speed after zooming ? does it change a lot?

[kinkazma 1]

I have it m1... it is very nice to use

[Amagi 1,728]

This gun works really well in Rio.

I tried Rio out but couldn't find any solid spots for a Shaft like I could in Silence.

 

Any hints? :)

I dont stay in one place, I change positions from time to time, much like Railgun.

Shaft is amazing.Today, m1 shaft m1 wasp. My friend got me up where the rusty tank was and i earned 3856 crystals with a D/L of 139/1.That one was atthe beggining when a drugging isida took me and my friend down. This was in a highland.

I think they fixed the bug with the rotational speed after the maximal zoom 

i will MU my shaft to m4 now

because after the new physics first it got a good rotational speed, then it got very slow scope after the max zoom

now its not the same anymore :)

Yak it still sucks ! only thing it works with is when u have a good team cover . or stealing kills

Shaft is amazing,DE german parkour team used some shafts and they launched a wasp untill on the top of Rio building!!!

shaft is awesome

[dardayy 493]

smoky is the best gun . it can be like shaft with its critical hits 

They really must increase the damage power of shaft .. its too low .. and the max zoom rotational speed as well

I think Shaft is fine as it is. All you need is skills to pwn.

 

The problem with most Shaft users nowadays is that they tend to stay in one place most of the time, making them predictable and easy targets.

I usually stay in one place throughout a game and come out as the top 3 with D/L's between 10-30 on average so I don't think that's a bad thing but I do think it's a terrible thing to just stay in scope mode all the time. I'll occasionally move one tank length forwards and backwards to get a good angle to shoot at someone.

 

I completely agree with you though that Shaft is fine as it is. If it's made any faster or does more damaged, it will be over powered.

yeah i got hacked but i had shaft m1 and that thing was aweasome it is very accurate and very powerful it could kill a titan in 1 shot :D

[Remaine 4,687]

If they didn't change the time it took to charge up scope mode and for it to recharge, I'd probably have purchased Shaft M2.

with the new physics of shaft .. you must never stay at one place .. or at least try to hide until the next bullet gets ready

Agreed. In Silence, on the red team, there's a spot behind that red container near the flag. That's my favourite spot :)

Shaft is for noobs, hardly see them anymore at my rank and when I do I'm sure to take them out first.  In fact, I'll intentionally hunt down shafts when they are playing in a battle room I'm in.  Can't stand em, thinks its hilarious when I keep killing them and they leave.

yup..... when low rank O_O yeah since there arn't meny skilled palyer's you see shaft's domonate -_- low rank battle's for me is kinda bad ok REALLY bad since they shoot and run like really i holp they solv this problem evan when m0 it can take out light/medium and the ongly paint lead it's super easy to take out light hull's so if eny one taht can do shomething about it PLEASE! change it edlist in m0 since it's superbly op in low rank

[r_Koobi0 31]

For those that think Shaft (M1) is not good at higher ranks:

 

This was on a bad day btw because of a bunch of druggers that kept killing me.
