Hey guys, first post on the Forum.  

 

I have a question - I do not have any drones at the moment.  But for the last couple months I've been collecting tons of batteries through my daily missions.  My question is, If I buy a drone, will all those batteries that i've been collecting be available in my supplies bar for me to use?  Not sure if this is posted in the right thread but oh well.

 

Thanks for any help!

here is fine

U can post it in the FAQ since its popular section to ask question there or the drones topic.

About the supplies of batteries. 

 

I recently bought a drone too and was confused that i couldn't the battery supplies as my 7th key. I even checked the setting.

And then i did some digging for information.

Th answer is that the amount of batteries is display in the supplies bar in battles. But u can't active it with any keys. It will automatically active itself.

No Problem ;)

As of today I have 667 battery packs (daily missons - containers) and no drone. I don't wish to buy a drone. So for me these battery packs are useless.

Why give daily rewards or put stuff in containers that some can use and some not ?

To make us buy drones maybe ?

Hello, I have decided to start drugging now because I cannot kill anything without them at this point. My combo is usually dictator m2 and ricochet m2. Which drugs should I mainly use for this combination? When should I choose which drug to use? Ricochet's charge runs out in drug wars so I want to say DA, also because dictator gets shot at the most, but can someone help? Also, when should I use repair and when should I not?

[GuidoFawkes 2,361]

 Ricochet's charge runs out in drug wars so I want to say DA

i think DD is better because you'll get to kill more before you run out of energy. also, with the high dps you'll be able to kill them a lot quicker and preserve a lot more of your health

[Bydo 20,119]

from someone who do's use drugs in the battles. I would highly recommend that its not just your everyday common battle drugs now but you also need to use alterations and Drones in battles mainly DM. if you don't you might get lucky and only get in the middle range for scores . without drugs your lucky to even get any. when you use both drugs and drones your in the top battles range scores. drones seem to be extra helpers with the drug systems.

[ThirdOnion 4,898]

It hardly matters since you can activate all 3 supplies within 20 seconds and DD and DA both within 10 seconds. By the time they run out you'll either get OD from a teammate or get a supply from a drop anyway. Use repair kit when you're not taking damage.

Do you suggest I use all 3 every time I spawn? Will this not burn down my reserves quickly? I understand I should use repair when I'm not taking damage, but repairs are rare. Should I still try to use them whenever I can?

I'm just asking which of the 3 main drugs to use. I can buy drones but I don't want to buy batteries. With my combo, which of the three should I prioritize or should I use all three whenever I spawn?

I would say it depends on how much you play. If you're playing only 1-2 battles a day, go for it and burn drugs because (especially with the upcoming reward increase) you'll most likely make them back at the end of the week. If you're playing a lot, try limiting yourself to defense where you'll have a lot of people to help - hopefully. 

[Tabish 100]

Conserve them where u can

If u see an enemy with all three drugs remember don't waste ur 50 crystals on him u r gonna die

Coming to repairs really comes in handy when with flag ball etc.

If u have more than 300 repairs use them if u want for killing but remember don't waste them when they r 100 or near to it

Only use it when u have flag etc.

 

Speed boost I have 1k of them so I use it the whole battle but if u want to conserve if use it like repairs only when u r having flag

Dd da almost same but almost opposite too

Using it while with flag is imp and keep ur mines when someone is chasing h

I have 3k mines so I keep it everywhere idc even if it gets finished

Don't drug to win, drug to piss people off.

stick with shields , to start off with then add DD , only use speed if you have a heavy hull . such as Mammoth or Dictator .. like the other guy said save your Drones for when we have Double funds , plus get a premium pass then you get 4x times the battle funds . if you don't want to use them in Halloween event then save for the Christmas one. also when using Drones only use them in DM battles this gets you way more kills . seeing other team battles your not prone to higher kills but its more based on team work.

I'm surprised you have to ask - it's all up to you and the situation at hand. Of course you shouldn't necessarily use them all immediately once you spawn. I personally don't use repairs. I usually go for DD first, then if there is a situation where I need to win a fight for the team, DA.

 

I'm just saying that with the current meta you don't really have to worry about cooldowns.

[Ninja 10,468]

I don't know how many you have but a good principal as to not use too many is to use one only in conjunction with a pickup supply, so if you pickup a DD use a DA and vice versa.

[u812ic 1,629]

I have Vulcan/Titan, but this is my take on it.

 

Don't drug until you see an enemy to shoot at or when you're near enemy base. You can conserve that way and less chance of your supplies running out before you need them.

 

Dictator doesn't have as much armor as Titan or Mammoth. First supply to activate is DA. That way if you are attacked by an unseen enemy, you have a better chance of survival.

 

After DA, activate DD as soon as you can. Even if your HP is low, you will have a better chance of making a couple kills before dying.

 

Use RK when you're health is 50% or less. If it's 50%, you may survive another hit, in which case you will have to use it anyway. However, if your health is around 50% and you decide to wait, you may turn a corner and find yourself in a skirmish. The call is yours.

 

Use protections against turrets that do you the most damage in that particular battle. You may have to go to the garage to change protections. The best way to do that is to wait until you die, then immediately hit pause. If you are already being transported to the respawn point, wait until the next time. I say this because if you pause after respawning, make changes in the garage, then come back to battle, you will have to wait a few more seconds to die and respawn again, leaving your teammates shorthanded for a few more seconds. On top of that, if you go to the garage after spawning, that leaves your tank open for enemy kills. You respawn and are killed again. If you can time it just right (and it is a close timing) hit pause before you start to respawn. Your camera will stay at the point you were killed and you will not be vulnerable to attacks while in the garage. When you come back into battle, your camera will still be at the point you were killed and then you will transport to the spawning area, saving you from having to respawn twice. If you have to, go into settings and change your pause button to another key that is close and within easy reach of one finger. 

 

Dictator is a little faster than Titan and Mammoth. So, conserve your SB until you really need it. Many times I've used SB to get back into the battle quicker, thinking I'll have enough time for the SB cool down, then found myself in a situation where I needed either DD or DA and neither are available until SB cools down. Keep that in mind. 

 

Know your tank, which turrets you can survive and which you can't. Don't engage with them if at all possible. Remember, even though you have supplies activated, that doesn't make you invincible. If you find two or more tanks attacking, sometimes it's better to do damage to all tanks in the group instead of trying to go for the kill of one. Hopefully, this will make them an easy target for your teammates for an easy kill. If some of the ones in the group hits an RK, concentrate more damage on them. It'll be awhile before they can use it again, making them more vulnerable. There will be several on your team who won't have supplies or need to conserve them. If they know you have supplies, you may find yourself out in front of the pack. That's okay. Just do as much damage to a lot of enemy tanks as possible and let your followers do clean up work. 

 

If you're doing missions, then your approach is pretty much up to you. If you feel you need to be a bit selfish, then go for it. If you feel you can accomplish your missions and still be a team player, then go that way. 

 

That's all I have. Take what you want, but don't disregard the rest. The ones you feel don't apply to you, put them away for viewing in the future. There's more than one way to skin a cat. Choose which ones apply to you. The Community will give you many suggestions. There's no right way or wrong way, only your way. Test the suggestions and use the ones that you feel more comfortable with. Using supplies for the first time will change your fighting style and will take a lot of trial and error to come up with your own new style. 

 

That's it. Good luck.

 also by the time your near the third round you should have over drive ready to be activated , main thing to do is keep your tank moving to make the system speed up for it to be ready once other drugs have been fully deployed .

1. Find an enemy

2. Rush against him

3. Use DD

4. Kill him

5. Use DA+RK

6. Kill another enemy

7. Die

I've asked this question myself to the higher ranks.

 

Their Cardinal Rule in a nutshell:

 

Find DA to pick up

If no DA is available for immediate pickup, then activate DA from your own garage.

 

But why DA? Why not DD? You need to survive hits, especially the first couple of shots you didn't see coming. 

 

I mean, you see it on TV and movies - when they are about to engage in the enemy, what is the first order barked? "Raise shields!"

1. Find an enemy

2. Rush against him

3. Use DD

4. Kill him

5. Use DA+RK

6. Kill another enemy

7. Die

Spawn. Kill. Die. Repeat.

 

Keep doing that long enough and you'll find yourself ranked as a Legend.  :)

[austen_pierce 1,948]

My go to choice for most battles

 

1 - DA on spawn, then start making my way toward enemies

2 - SB as soon as the cool down let’s me, keep headed toward enemies

3 - DD and start killing

 

On small maps I will switch DD to 1 and DA to 3. But I will always use SB between them because the cool downs work better that way.

[Nine 693]

I use SB when I spawn. Then DD my fav supply. Then DA. im a hardcore drugger :)

[arlo7 130]

1- Double Speed when you spawn;

2- So because you have a Double Speed activated, you go faster to the other supplies, and which ever comes before (Double Damage/Double Armor), you activate the opposite one... Easy huh? :P
