When you’re so close to the Repair kit but Shaft kills you from the other corner of the map.

I think the expression betrayed you, when you at low health even the Smoky can kill you, maybe you can say the Shaft if you are at full health

very precise

Even a Smoky can't kill you if the guy is at the far corner of the battle. A Shaft can. Plus, they're more annoying cause it's hard to get back at them.

Mission to cap a flag.  Less than 1 tank-length from cap-point with enemy flag and die. Battle ends 30 seconds later.

When a buyer dominate the battle with his OP equipment, and in the next game he placed in a weak team and after a lot of deaths he leave immediately

I really hate this kind of people who just want to play with the winner team

When someone just try to get the flag (instead you), when you know confidently in your heart that he couldn't cap it

That moment you wipe out entire enemy team on your own and get called a hacker.

Here's a moment I had back in 2014 or 2015. I was in Rio (CTF) and was on the blue team. I went to the red base to take their flag. I couldn't go on the rooftops because it was occupied by the enemies. I then went straight forward, planning to go through the whole red base and then turn around to go to my base. Unsurprisingly, I was chased and attacked by two tanks. I was becoming weaker and weaker as they fired at me. I was close to escaping but out of the blue, another enemy came out and blocked me. I was trapped and outnumbered. Unfortunately, I had no other teammates near me to help and I didn't have a chance of killing all 3 and escaping their base with the flag. I turned my turret, facing each of them (as if I was looking at all of them using my turret) whilst thinking of what to do. Funnily enough, because I didn't fire, they didn't fire either. Because I knew I had no chance of capturing the flag, I dropped the flag, giving it back to them and they let me escape with my life! We communicated without the chat and I found that astonishing. I'll never forget that battle...

I deff would have killed you, no mercy, just how it goes i'm afraid.

Seen that.  Guy bragging how easy it was.  Next battle fails on first attempt to grab the flag, complains about team, then quickly exists.  These idiots look good on paper because they pad their stats.

When I just saw someone complain why we all focus to kill him while he stay in the gold drop with Lifeguard drone

I deliberately hunt down any Lifeguards I can find after the gold-drop notification, or at least disable their drones. With everyone paying close attention to the rocket in the sky, it is easy to eliminate most opponents; also a great and effective way of earning exp-points

[SporkZilla 1,775]

When you are wondering if completing a kill-3-juggernauts mission is worth the XP cost (on an 8X weekend), have 2 kills and need 1 more, but decide to go for it and kill the juggernaut with your first shot (Smoky) in the next jug battle you enter

Ultimate kill steal

(also killing Hoppers, still satisfying)

How can you see which drone they have? They are so small to see on other people.

I think it's near impossible, I personally didn't even know their shapes or anything I think it's hard...

But when someone stand in gold drop zone, what do you think he have? Booster?? No, Lifeguard.. btw, usually player hunt anyone stay in the gold drop even if the golds comes without rockets or something.

I mean, for myself, I just kill whoever is near me to be honest, which should happen in Deathmatch mode. I do not focus on who has what. As long as I win the battle, we are good to go.

yes thats it. Focusing in battle and enjoy is way more important than the gold... even in the event map I was focusing in kills number #1, then I focus in gold boxes (for sure the chat not without insults because I kill in gold time) I think it's happen for you also

Lifeguard-users can be recognized by their flat triangular-shaped drone, approaching enemies from nearby or using my Shaft-scope helps me to observe my enemies, but I just tend to observe small details in general as well. Also, most players were using a Lifeguard during the event, so distinguishing their drones from others is not much of a problem, for me at least

Yes, of course. I also kill whatever is in my sight, but since some players were ruining the fun for others by using an anti-K.O.-drone I might as well ruin their fun in return

So you zoom with Shaft to players drones to see who have Lifeguard?? I advice you to hide your reply my reply is better

Well one can easily recognize drones with experience. If a Lifeguard user is far away, it would be foolish to try and kill him, when there are other weaker tanks around you (in DM battles).

And yes, if a player stands on/near the gold drop zone, we can safely assume that the player has Lifeguard. 

Anyway, as BloodPressure said, some players notice details better than others, so they can easily distinguish between the drones.

Yes, i'm just kidding, it's really good strategy and skill from BloodPressure to notice that I think also many players can.. tbh personally I can't differ any drone from other

Playing with different equipment on the Test server helps a lot. 

I used to play on the Test server with a friend of mine, @F41TH. We would try out different augments and drones in private battles, and try to see which gear is better. But I would always lose, so we could never reach any conclusion. The only time I won was when I used Railgun Scout, and F41TH used Railgun LCR. (Which proves that Scout is OP :x )
