Let's Discuss Shaft!

[DieselPlatinum 5,121]

Exactly.

 

 

Honestly, this alteration is underwhelming. It costs a lot and it doesn't really make sense as to why someone would use it. So no, please don't buy it, unless you're going for a 100% garage.

 

 

Man, the assault emitters. They have been nerfed again and again but at my rank with M3 Shaft you one shot M2 Hornets with DD as if they were made from gingerbread. 2 shots and it takes out mediums, and 3 it takes out anything else. Overpowered as hell.

 

Hold up, I have never seen the bonus in the scope shot. Can you tell me when and how to get it?

So you want them to come up to you and deliberately give you a free kill?

 

Well that's a first.

Mate, with AA you don't wait for them to come to you, you come to them and spawnkill the s*** out of them. Once you have a DD and a DA all you really need is to walk into their base and start killing with the help of your teammates.

bought hunter m3 feels a little weird compared to viking

 

Will get assault emitters for shaft because of the comments about it being good

Nah man, Hunter M3 is more stable and has more weight than Viking. Result? Harder to flip, better to control. The drift is not as bad as some people say.

Get AA. Low cost, high effectiveness.

[Truthteller 4,204]

Ok played with hunter more and it is more balanced like it more than viking, stability is more important than speed

Because with stability, you can actually hit things. Where as the speed just makes you only a tiny bit faster.

I honestly don't like to contribute to spawn killing the other team to oblivion, because it'll just make a lot of other players rage quit. But I'll only do it if I feel that it is the only way to be safe from being spawn killed.

WTH the Wikia says M4 Shaft have 143 charge per second, while it takes 1.5 seconds to reload an arcade shot.  AND it uses 250 energies per Arcade shot.

 

It should be 167 energy recharge per second.

 

Really Alternativa should go back to school, learn to do math correctly.

Arcade shot delay and energy reload is independent from each other. If you use the arcade shot multiple times in a row, you have to expect an empty magazine. Maybe it was intended to be this way.

When tapping the space bar, shot released, and then wait for 1.5 second before another shot can be fired.

This is why I pair Shaft with Hornet than Wasp.

[Truthteller 4,204]

Bought assault emitters and heavy caliber

 

tried assault in one battle and its really good would recommend, the reload isn't long at all and you can kill a viking m4 in 2 shots with double armor (my shaft is not m4)

 

EDIT: tried heavy alt in highways and it is slow to load and you can be shot by other shafts when you are waiting to fire I think light would be better - would be great is assault and heavy could be combined together

You want those six stars or not? Your choice. Plus, you're not gonna even contribute to spawnkilling, you're gonna be the one man army that does it all by it

Does that matter that much when it comes to shooting? Ugh.

I used to use Hornet all the time with Shaft. Trickshots are beautiful with this combo. Drift 90 degrees, scope in and, kill. Underrated combo.

Why the hell did you buy heavy capacitors? I told you not to, and now you're 25k down. Rapid-fire mode is OP. You might as well have bought Light Capacitors, from what I've heard they're much better. Scoping in for an additional 5 seocnds just for a 30% damage increase? One of the stupidest ideas I've ever seen.

As for Assault Emitters, you see how good it is even after the nerf. Keep on using them and you'll get to 2000 stars in no time.

You did? My mistake - will try to make enough to light capacitors today

Mate, just get Rapid-fire mode or save your money.

Are you doing this in regular matchmaking battles?

Definitely a good alt.  :D

Stars mean nothing to me. I just play MM to complete a couple missions a day. If I reach a tier, cool, I'll accept the extra rewards. If I don't reach the tier, that's fine.

[Tidebreaker 1,669]

OMG splitterpoint! I was a huge fan back in 2012, when you won the Best of Twins award. That made you legendary. Funny you should be looking in the Shaft category...

And yes, I used to be a huge trickshotter in MM battles when I was a Major. But not anymore. Now I roll around with Hunter because its overdrive will be the best.

And how's the farm? You still living there, or did you finally move to the city?

 

Definitely a good alt.  :D

An amazing alt. When the Hunter overdrive comes out, anyone who comes close will be EMP'd, and then I'll just punch in my DD and finish them with 3 noscopes. GGWP.

So you don't want that Hunter/Firebird XT? And none of those containers, crystals, drugs, or animated paints either? OK then.

Why would I want to spend my life away for items that I can just get from containers? Besides I remember doing the 400 kill tier during a crazy weekend, I did get 3 gold boxes from it, but the consequences far outweighed the rewards, I was left with virtually no repairs, my supplies were drained.

 

I'm not going through that again just for items that I can get through other means.

To get the XT at tier 50 you need to no-life it over the Holidays.  Many of us have no desire to spend that much time in this game.

 

And you need to spend real $ on battle-pass for Hunter XT.

 

That's a double-pass.

Ah yes, really beautiful. And my favorite.

 

Hm....should I micro-upgrade my M2 Hornet right now with my Shaft and Eagle module when promoted to major.

 

Or wait and get Centaur kit when promoted to Lieutenant General?

 

My Shaft and my Eagle modules are both M1 10/10. Hornet is still fresh M2 0/10.

I thinking an idea Shaft alternation.

 

It greatly rewards Shaft's arcade shot's stats but take away sniper shot completely.

If no sniper shot then shaft will just be like a weaker smoky then wouldn't it?
