Eeyore’s torpedo tips - Catch it yourself!

Hi guys,

I’m creating this thread in a form to pass by all
my knowledge of torpedoes usage. It’s open for all people to question or even ask me out for a custom match, to see how it works In game.

I might not be here anyone in a future time, but I do see tons of player with torpedo rigs that have talent, but most of them just get upset and ending up scraping it or even changing to other weapons in order to gain INFAMY, not SKILLS.

So, would be nice if this thread, we all talk everything about torps! Personal experiences, screenshots, print screen of your torps and perks, questions, dificulties, anything about it! After the frost nerf from last update, I’ve seen that most ppl quit using torps. But remember, there is no need to use frost if you got the right stuff to hit your enemy. Never used frost and reached my infamy above 5k already, so why not anyone else ? Let’s keep the torpedo culture on!

 

I love torpedos... but I’m a huge believer in speculation shots. If you aim one like, 45 degrees away from an annoying speeder, not at a wall but out into open water, he will subconsciously dismiss it as not a threat. So he dodges your mortar, maybe even your sniper if his timing is lucky with the NO2, and wham. Big Torpedo right up the yinyang.

Also great for taking a huge bite out of those tanks... some horrifyingly fast defender gets your scent, keep your eye open for a friendly torpedo incoming and catch it yourself ... it’s scary wondering if its a friendly fish or not lol but you could end up killing him with it.

And keep an eye out for a defender coming over a wave at you... if you can catch him on the crest he will never see it coming

 

Also I think this thread is on point... should move it from random to a higher profile section.

Tips and tricks

 

I’ve posted on off topic so ppl could write whatever they want, some discussions lead to stuff off topics lol

 

Wow i love ur build... how long did it take u to make it
18000 battles suggests months played lol

 

2 years buddy, lol

 

Wait the game was around for that long???

 

Soft-launched March 10th, 2016.

 

Most old players that you see arround are from the soft launch time. We’ve played months until global launch. So most ppl have he same reaction when we say that we’ve played this whole time. Plus, on that period, I’ve had to stop playing cuz of my work, 5 months on board.

 

Was this thread always subtitled “catch it yourself?” How did i not notice that when i posted my thing?

 

Lol!

 

Since the obvious choice is Big torpedo,I voted swift

 

Who knows ? There might be people that is not used to it’s speed lol. Have seen tons of players that doesn’t manage well the swift lol

 

Would be nice if we had all that together in one place!
Imagine if this was made before! We would have tons of tips and videos all in one place !

 

I'm going to do the exact same thing as @Babablacksheep did, just for fun. I can always change my vote
I will paste a picture of my torp once I get it to lvl 30(currently lvl 28).
I use swift, an I'm currently trying to get to those Sinklaire talents that buff it's speed by 15%, so it feels like I'm using a Tesla Bolt, which is very easy to hit with.

 

I’ll start up talking about my setup of torps:



As @P0rthos said in his video time ago, I work with a set of 3 torpedoes. I did almost none change from that time till today.

I’ve chose those perks for a reason.
Big torps can’t be too speedy or too slow. So I did a mid term there, where I got used to. If too speedy you will sacrifice a huge amount of damage. If too slow, well, probably anyone will dodge it.

Swift is more versatile, they splash less but can get a right hit most times. I don’t see the need to put epic speed perks on my swift, otherwise it will become too fast and propably will reach the other side of the map even before the enemies do. Also, might not go along with the big ones.

If you see me at battle, you will always see me sending the two big ones first, than the swift one. When I do this - and that’s the intention - it’s almost like they reach the same place at a time. Swift’s speed is so big that can catch up with the big ones ahead. It’s intended to look like a triple torpedo shot and it’s also confusing, since the enemy is most time ready to dodge one of them, but suddenly appears other one with great speed. So yes, you can send them to a direction that you know it won’t hit the enemy, but as soon as you do this, most players react instantly fleeing to the opposite side, and that’s the moment you can take the hit, This a little of induction and prediction when choosing which spot will you send your torpedoes on match.

 

Lol ur epic big torp can one - shot me

 

It’s not even T5 yet need just one more big epic haha

 

Paying tribute to the torpedo senpai.
