My 15 tips to being a better Fixer

1. Figure out the safe areas and try to stay covered
2. If you can't find a wall, find another object to stay behind until the coast is clear
3. Stay alive! A good fixer is usually the last boat on the team to stay alive. A Great fixer keeps all of their friendlies alive. 5-0 win is the goal
4. Focus on healing, not damage. Unless you are a mk6 Fixer, focus on heals first
5. Be the boss... call out the shots. "Listen to your Fixer."
6. Use a good load out for a Fixer. If you are playing in the back, use a long range weapon and take advantage of turbo and over-boost to get to where your team needs you most
7. Focus your training. Felix is our friend, but also so is Dr. Buzzkill
8. Try to pull your team together. A divided team is usually a lost team
9. If your team splits apart, try to bring them back together... any way you can. Spam the "TOGETHER!" if you have to.
10. Fleeting --- Try to fleet with a partner that can dish out a lot of damage and focus on keeping them alive. Obviously, keep your team alive as well... but a lot of focus on your partner
11. The Guild Raffle is your friend. You can get a lot of epic health perks
12. If you are playing against 2 of more speeders, try to keep in the middle of the pack. Good speeders will try to flank you and take you out first
13. Keep your eye on your six. Again, good speeders with flank you as well as some enforcers. When you can, look behind you and side to side to identify these boats
14. Unless you are a bad shot, or over 3,000 infamy... you might want to re-think repair pulse. In some cases a repair box will help to keep you alive better, and utilizing a repair bolt will hit far away friendlies
15. Make sure your HEALTH and DAMAGE totals what a normal shooters Damage output is. Combine health and damage to get a total output. 2k health and 9k damage is 11k total output... which is pretty good

Some of these will be controversial... but debating is part of the fun. These are some tips that I have used to get higher up in infamy and to be able to enjoy the game more.

Repair pulse is the best overall fixing item without a doubt. I wouldn't tell anyone not to run it when giving advice, whether they be a good shot or a bad shot.

Great video and great guide.

Also, I'd like to add a #16.

16. Do not use duct tape. At any mk level.

Mk4 - pulse + bolt or box
Mk5 - pulse + box + bolt
Mk6 - pulse + pulse + box
​

 

I personally prefer bolt over box.

As a lot of times your team just runs in every direction or some fearsome speeder from your team decides to get there and kill the enemy fixer.

So in such scenarios bolt is handy!
Keep an eye on motion of your teammate and shoot the bolt.
Most of the times I get "Miracle" , with bolt u have better command over healing from a distance.

 

I would also add. Get the unstun on the repair bolt (pretty far down the tree). I have seen many a speeder killed when they try and stun lock someone only to have a blast cannon to the face when the stun is removed and they are lining up a shot. It also helps when your friendly speeder is trying to get back and can’t overboost or nitro (if you can hit them)

 

Not when they move just when opposite team is about to shower all shots!

 

I don't get that "bolt or pulse" debate. They are different tools, with different strengths and weaknesses, and I just think you really need both, as they complement each other in important ways. Pulse has the advantage of fixing several boats at once ; when the unfriendlies are shooting more or less randomly, or when they are mortar-spamming, it definitely has the edge over the bolt. But then, when your opponents are focusing their fire on one boat, the pulse is of little use because it takes time for its fixing to come into effect — time your ally doesn't have. That's when you need a good bolt, which also has the range advantage.
It's a situational matter.

 

Agree with you , i am using fixer since i had mk4 , now on mk5 i have 2800+ infamy points... in a month.

 

My son has an MK5 Fixer running Bolt-Bolt-Pulse. He just got his newest high heals: 34,000.

It seems to work pretty good for him.

 

That's a good one... I'm actually training Felix for this one very soon.

 

tips from player in mk5 who play in 2200 rate ... yeap op... "play like me" = )
It's like take advice about business from homeless

 

While you do have a fair point, as a Fixer I also found it hard to write a constructive reply to this thread. Half is generic pointers, and some is downright terrible advice. I tried writing a detailed response, but it read so negative that I ended up deleting it.

Id strongly recommend anyone looking for fixer hints to use the search function. Fx find and read the old Fixers Union thread.

 

Fair enough. To some extend looking at infamy does make sense though, I cringe everything someone uses the 3.5k Duct tape Fixer as an example of how thats a great strategy

 

Equip + lvl + ship lvl = directly linked with rate.
If u can't up in top with normal item + ship ... so u are not so good >> and if u not good - take advice , don't give it.
