Is the "speeder boosts into a wall and is suddenly bulletproof" meant to be a legit tactic?

Or is that exploiting a glitch? Because I'll tell you, I am TIRED of it.

 

How so?

 

Replay or it didn't happen.

 

I’ve decided it’s tactic. It’s really just a battle against latency, just like when they use nitro.

 

How am I tired of it? Or how do they do it?

I love how having trash-tier internet is basically a super power in this game.

I am not going through all the BS of posting a replay from the game in here. If you choose not to believe me, cool.

 

I have seen this done by a lot of people. They drag their ship against the wall and it messes with latency bad.

 

This happens to me when i bump in to wall but not always (using nitro).

 

Yeah, well, it used to be a rare occurrence but I cant tell the Speeders are all catching on now. I'm seeing it more and more.

 

U are not the only one who notices this, in fact, not only speeder, other ships can do this too, but mostly just speeders

 

If they're bouncing against the wall, just chuck a torp at them. Even if you don't direct hit, there's a good chance of getting a decent bit of splash damage

 

Feels like it when you literally can't hit them at any range.

 

It is becoming increasingly frequent that you simply can't rely on splash damage to do actual damage (i.e. explosive cannon)

 

It depends on a lot of things tbh, the perfect alignment for splash damage doesn't happen very often... But when it does, it's beautiful lol

 

Ohh, cool, let me just pull those 4 epic torp dupes and the requisite resources to upgrade them and get the talents on the skill tree out of my ass.

 

Weird place to keep your money

 

Yeah, you could do that. Or you could do what I'm sure quite a few folks do - keep upgrading weapons that you only use occasionally alongside your usual stuff (especially when you max your current loadout) and then you'll be laughing.

 

I do this mostly for the benefit of my guild. I upgrade the quest weapons no one else uses (grenade,carronade,missle) and throw those suckers on my shooter with my base loadout in the other slots. Sometimes it works beautifully, other times i look like a fool lol.

 

Yup, know what you mean. I've got a nasty T3 epic grenade I chuck on my Enfo if called for, along with a few t4rare mortars (ballpark and long range).
Key to surviving is this game is how quickly you can adapt to new challenges.
