At least high-precision aiming system is now cheaper (50,000 crystals instead of 100,000), I am tempted to get it.

 

I saw autocannon (180,000 crystals) in battle. It is relentless and fires continuously with mostly low damage... if you can camp with it then gg but otherwise it is not good against overpowered freeze and firebird.

But... you are going to deliver criticals way more often - and those not reduced, correct?

Correct - I bought and it is insanely good but not that strong to be honest (probably because mine is still at 5/20).

Yes that's true and I wonder if that makes up for it. I favour high precision aiming as it offers even more damage on top of the stock smoky, although mine is only 10/20.

"insanely good"   and "not that strong" are... contradictory.

Imagine if smoky could equip both?  Probably one of reasons why only 1 alt allowed...

[G_U_N_L_E_A_N 234]

What alteration do you suggest for Smoky?

Melee turrets are supposed to have that advantage at close range. You could imagine why they didn't release afterburn/freeze with Magnum.

True but battles are overrun with freeze now. Usually in DM I spawn right next to one.

[enri_chill 265]

Has anyone tried the Cryo load...the freeze 100% instead of crit damage?

That is the one alt which I think could be ridiculous in CTF

[enri_chill 265]

It also doesn't reduce the impact force like the autocannon does...

Autocannon

Automated loading conveyor significantly increases the rate of fire. Regular shots lose most of their effectiveness, but critical hits become much more.

Recharge time = 0.5 s

Returns –66%

Min damage –75%

Max. damage –75%

Impact force –66%

 

 

I have faced the autocannon and it is an interesting alt for sure. I am just grateful they didn't leave the impact force too high. It still rocks you, but I was in hunter and shaft in one battle and still landed enough damage (since close) to drive off with a little health :lol:

 

I have not faced the Cryoscales

Replacing standard cumulative shots with freon shells. A critical hit does normal damage, but completely freezes the target.

Critical hit freezes the target (at 100% of the min. Temperature)

No critical damage

 

Trying to see if anyone has faced one or used it. If so, please report.

Faced it on CTF battle in one of the larger maps.

 

It is so annoying to be the target - literally stops you in your tracks.  Facing the wrong way and you are helpless.

 

Biggest issue is you often don't know where it came from as smoky - contrary to it's name - leaves no indicators like rail.

[enri_chill 265]

How long were you frozen?

[thesquarerootof2 165]

How much fire damage does the fire crit alt do? 

[wolverine848 13,097]

How long were you frozen?

Hard to say... maybe a couple seconds - but - you are pretty much helpless during that time - a sitting duck.

Ouch. Is the crit still infinite range? 

Or does it get damage dropoff? 

that alt is probably gonna be so useful at high ranks since the damage isn't that spectacular anyways and the crit chance is high

I believe the crit is still good for all distance. A hornet at distance hiding and pelting core defensive tanks until the crit hits (20% chance) then moving up...is s fun proposition.

Since there is no critical hit - I suspect there would be drop-off damage for every shot.  That's the give to get freezing ability.

Titan/Smoky with freeze alternator and sabotage drone is absolutely best line of defense. Pissed of 4 organized clan members!

That is crazy!!!! Certainly would hate to be on the other team!

I suspect that drone is one of the best for CTF.

 

So if they managed to kill you, how many of those mines (%) would stay?

[Desty 275]

Non, they all disappear. But, you can place them fairly often. I think it was 40 seconds? 

 

It is hands down best drone for defense! But I barely ever play defense, so for attacking, assault fully MU-d is soo good, as your drugs literally never expire, because it prolongs active time by 15s and cooldown is 12s. 

 

 

But, if being honest, this thing needs to be nerfed or mine protection needs to be equiped! It makes CTF battles fairly boring, as it's nearly impossible to cap. One game we had me and isida placing mines(while he was healing also), I think there were like 150+ mines near flag, not even slight chance for enemy team. So, if there would be 1 freeze with new alternation, which kind of ''ignores'' protections and freezes enemy and then smoky with cyro alternation, both 19/20(yes, you can place 8 mines at 19 Mus) MU-d Sabotage drones and one isida in defense, rock solid defense! 

 

Since it's Smoky topic, freeze alt is also good for attacking, With light hull, you can just freeze them and drive around while shooting and doing decent damage without getting any yourself! Whoever might consider it, BUY IT! Different gameplay with one of the most enjoyable gameplay turrets.
