It’s always one guy in every BR room that won’t leave me alone.
It’s both fun and annoying.
It’s about that time again, time to finish work on the next big guide update.
Starting work on RTE’s and since I can’t exactly remember them all tit for tat…
Chutulu
Kraken
Carpet Bombing
Black Hole
Microwave Satellite Array
SLBM Missile Launch
Poison Gas
Killseeker Item Man
Flying Platform (Spawns in 2’s)
Executioner 1 (basic)
Executioner 2 (car executioner)
Mutants
Super Mutant
Berserker Mutant
Electrical Storm
Bayside Bridge Bombing
Rampaging Vehicle
Jamming Drone
Power Failure
Enlightenment Array
Dragon Flamethrower
Landmass Reconfiguration
Tornado
Quicksand
Barrier Drones
Ninja Drones
Flying Drones
Laser Drones
Did I forget anything?
You getting into stage specific ones too?
Yeah, most of the second half is actually stage specific. I’ve never seen electrical storm outside of Altambra (It’s Battle Royale mode specific to begin with), and I know tornado / quicksand are desert specific as well. If you see something I missed post it up, aren’t there normal drone enemies too? I can’t remember if there are just normal ground drones or if barrier drones are the only thing that spawns.
Basically anything that can happen inside a match, without the use of items, is going in this section. Anything random that spawns, changes the map, or adds to the map in any way.
Oh shit I forgot flying platforms! adds
derp forgot Dragon Flamethrower too, that’s a rare one. Enlightenment Array as well, they both only happen on temple street.
Edit #2: Forgot baysidebridge bombing and rampaging vehicle as well. This game actually has a lot of random crap in it, the list is massive already and I’m sure there is more I am forgetting…
I’m sure I’ve seen electrical storm on one or both of the water stages.
Don’t forget the Oil Rig Fire and Helicopter Drones.
Right, completely forgot about Oil Rig Fire and Helicopter Drones.
What about the Incoming item ATE?
forgot about excavator saw as well. There we go. Fucking hell this is a lot of stuff.
Cybrid Joe?
I’m not sure if I mentioned this before. The sprinter ability gives Garuda an infinite similar to Leo’s (H->W->AA->j.KWL->repeat. In Garuda’s case I’ll just call it the Sprinter loop). Normally Garuda can’t get j.KWL off his AA attack, but the extra jump height from sprinter allows him to do so. It’s kinda tricky to time but it allows Garuda to kill off a launch. It’s not the best ability for him, but that infinite is fun to pull off.
Doesn’t sprinter fuck up launcher combos because of the altered jump height? I did the few time I used it, with Durga.
I’m sure it does for other characters but it doesn’t seem to mess with Garuda’s combos.
Bout half done. RTE’s are a lot easier to write-up than stages. I should finish today, I’ll update the pastebin when its done…
Hmm.
Good games omega, that one match on Bari Shur was bullshit though.
The enemy team spawned on the turret side and gunrunners dropped crates off right in their spawn within the first 40 seconds of the match giving them free items.
Lol, I completely forgot about Gunrunner as well. God damnit. That happens like 2-3 times a game too…
Alright, whatever. I need to step away from this guide for a while. I’m tired of working on it. The only thing that got me through this section was the 4 beers I had. I have no idea how people do this for a living. It’s mind numbing. Just recording information, recording information. Putting what you know already into text. It’s so gruuuuuuuuuuueling. I dunno. Maybe it’s just me. Anyway, going to update the pastebin as well with the current WIP. New version sent into GFAQS, enjoy what it is for the time being. Hope ya’ll like it I guess.
“Incoming item” is a thing? I always thought it was weird that I’d get an item without killing someone, only happened 3-4 times for me that I know of though and I’ve been playing this game since Japanese release.
One of those times was today.
You put “lone CJ spawns” I have not once seen a Cybrid Joe spawn by itself, I always encounter them in multiples.
That’s what a jamming drone is? I’ve never seen it, just hear and see the alerts about it.
The subway trains and mine cart aren’t mentioned in that events section.
Yeah I’ve seen a few lone CJ’s before. Unless people have killed a few before I ever saw one.
I’ve seen incoming item happen and someone in BR RIGHT NEXT TO ME, get an item out of nowhere so it has to be something random, not kill related.
Subway train and the firepit in foundry / coliseum aren’t added because they are in small modes. I haven’t done everything, whats in there is in there for now.
Also yeah I only recently had jamming drone pick me for the first time the other day in BR’s. I hit someone and it exploded shortly after, I think its a OHKO but I can’t be sure because its so god damn uncommon to see one go off.
One more note… the incoming item actually has an announcement, if it happens to you you hear the woman say “incoming item”. I think it might only be BR? I can’t remember it ever happening in 4v4 modes.
=========
A NEW DAY.
Man, I was kind of angry at my guide yesterday for some reason. I don’t feel like that after 12~ hours of sleep >_>, I guess I’ll keep working on it. I’ll probably flip out and loathe it at the end of the day again but who knows. The version on pastebin was submitted into GFAQS just to get a proper update on there.
Things that need to be done:
Item Description / Uses section
Rin Sisters sections need play-style descriptions and ability recommendations, move-set notes.
Bari Shur and Abandoned mine stage write-ups
Beef up Chaodiansi and Hong Long Downtown write-ups
Small mode stage write-ups, adding in their potential hazards and the only unique RTE in a small mode, the death-train. So I’m actually not that far off from completing an entire multi-player guide. I suppose after that is done I could list all the modes but really, I don’t see a point in that. The meat is there. The stage sections provide almost everything you need to know for any given mode except deathball.
Also, if you guys have been following my posts… you know by now Max has abnormal HP regeneration, right? Alright. In ability modes, put healing factor on him. You regenerate HP 2-3 seconds after intially taking damage and it fills EXTREMELY FAST. Like, ridiculously fast. If you are even half decent you should become unkillable under normal circumstances. I was thinking I shouldn’t tell people about this but seriously, there’s only one good Max I can think of, I play a decent one but it’s more like a sandbag character for me.
@Fear, you forgot the Plane Crash, Nanovirus, Pandemic (similar to Nanovirus) and Bombing run which I think is a much shorter version of Carpet Bombing.
On the Jamming Drone, it’s not a OHKO. When it goes off, it leaves you at 1% health.
Edit: Also forgot OA system.
What’s the difference between nanovirus and pandemic? They are both BR specific aren’t they? Pandemic poisons everyone but a few, and a few people get healing needles when they punch you, you get cured–otherwise you have to wait it out. I remember hearing “nanovirus detected” so I know there are two things but yeah.
I can’t remember bombing run but I do remember feeling like some carpet bombings take forever and some happen really fast.
I’ll update the jamming drone as well. I knew I was forgetting stuff. Completely forgot about plane crash. Hard to sort of think when you are trying to write everything down, should’ve seen the initial list, I maybe had 30% of the stuff off the top of my head.
