Ok let's just clear this up

>Is it better to have fast reload Griff
or
>Is it better to have fast weapon switch Griff

Feels like anytime I am not tethered and I need to poon it takes ages for the next reload. Where as if I have my SMG out I won't need to switch very often. I have it out because there is no need to poon.

Has anyone made a faq yet?

>>148566836
No fun allowed, should be 2-5 secondss.

>>148566836

That's pretty ridiculous. Hunters just need a couple seconds of invulnerability so they don't get instagibbed as they land.

>>148567013
OP here, not as far as I know.

If someone makes one I'll include it in the next threads I make.

>>148566960
Fast weapon switch if you want more damage.
Fast reload if you want to be the most annoying hunter on the team to work around.

>>148567160

>>148568919
Half the supports arent viable either.

>>148568874

Bucket isn't even that bad of a choice right now, especially with his broken poison turrets. Obviously Sunny is the best right now but she's getting hit with nerf soon.

>>148568863
It might be Plasma Parnell seeing as the only other person with a super suit uses a plasma lance

>>148569005
>laz is viable

No he's not. He never was and he never will. His designed was flawed from its inception and hes worse now that he ever was

>>148569131
Laz was fucking great originally. Not as good anymore. But still very much viable in the hands of a skilled player.

>>148569131
Laz is viable. Forcing the monster to commit to a body when you have a lennox or blitz on him with cabots damage amp really chunks bars.

Yes

>>148570118
It's working as intended. It was deemed unfair by the community that monsters might get the drop on lone hunters, so they can use M1 to break free when needed :)

>>148570104
Wow, you don't even do any extra damage at level 2?

Fuck this.

>>148570118

Markovs lightning is funny like that, it'll still tick you after the pounce and you'll be knocked out of it.

It's still possible though.

>>148570091
are you serious?

>>148570118
Servers are laggy as shit so you probably got hit by his lightning

>>148570382
>>148570437
No, hunters can break free now actually. Pouncing is just a way of doing a bit of surprise damage. It won't incap anymore.

>>148570429
Yeah, I don't play Trapper but it sounds good to me.

>>148570358
It's typically size/radius and cool down at rank 2

>>148570495

It has every time I've used it...

>>148570118
I've noticed that continual damage weapons like markovs lightning or hydes flame can break pounces
Probably because of lag or something, but its annoying as hell

>No, hunters can break free now actually.

>>148572125
>Speed boost increases jetpack thrust AND efficiency
So why shouldn't he use the jetpack booster again?

>>148571242
Probably rogue val > caira > val, but it depends how good you are at jetpack management and general monster dodging etc.
Rogue Val has enormous self-healing with her burst so with a competent support you're crazy hard to kill, and healing is just pointing the beam at the guy with the least health and trying to keep people in your aura, and while its recharging you just spam your gun.
Caira requires some aim, but the aoe on the grenades is huge and you have speed burst to make yourself a little harder to catch, but its not as significant as it seems if the monster is focused on you. Her self healing isn't huge but at least it exists, can be the difference between living and dying really easily. She can heal from enormous range too, which can make her almost impossible to kill in the right situation.
Val dies the easiest, but has the best single target healing and the most utility. Healing is still just shooting a beam, but it has to be constantly on the guy getting focused and you need to know when to use the burst for someone else or to save it for yourself. Her increased utility also means that to get most out of the character you need to be on point with keeping the slow and weakpoints up, while healing as much as possible and keeping good positioning so you don't die if the monster switches to you.

>>148572269
Because he wanted you to use it son someone else so that they could keep up with him and have 2 people up front instead of one

>>148572292
also as caria you can spam nades at your feet

>>148572292
>Caira easier to play than Val
Being able to heal yourself doesn't change the fact that healing others is harder for Caira.

>>148572214
oh for fucks's sake

that's what you WILL do if you IMMEDIATELY FUCKING SWITCH between gauss and poon meaning once you've used your poon shot, YOU PRESS 1 AND THEN RIGHT AFTER YOU PRESS 2 and BAM it's reloaded and you've just skipped the slow as shit reload animation by replacing it with something faster aka a weapon switch

getting it yet?

>>148572112
Reload works on all 1-3 weapons and abilities, regardless if they're out or not. Your harpoon comes back crazy fast if you switch off it while having reload. It's almost instant

>>148572509
weapons reload in the background, once you switch out of a weapon the reload immediately begins, even if you switch straight back to it no reload animation will play, but you wont be able to fire until those reload time numbers are reached. It used to be bugged where switching back to a background reloading weapon would force a complete restart, but that was patched out in 9.0.

this means if you're running double reload on griffin, you'll have more harpoon uptime if you STAY on the weapon and reload it in hand since you don't have to waste weapon switching time, if you have fast swap however it's better to switch out and do something else since you wouldn't be able to use the harpoon gun anyway and you can quickly switch back the moment it comes off reload. You can't do this with double reload because swapping weapons normally takes for-fucking-ever and you'll reload it faster than you can switch into your gun and back to your harpoon.

Good job anon. But like >>148573128 said, it's pretty hard to fuck up camping corpses with Kraken when you can just deny the entire area with Lightning Strike or push them off with Vortex. You can even just keep lobbing Banshee Mines on top of it as a deterrent.

Just micromanage your abilities better. It's a good idea to feint combat with one particular hunter so that the others think it's safe to blob on the corpse for a revive. Then just pull a 180 and Lightning Strike or Vortex them to oblivion

So what is /vg/'s verdict on Crow?

Should I focus MEMET or Sunny D. first?

>>148573802
Good. Needs weapon swap perks and good aim to keep up the DPS/stun

>>148573802
not as good as griffin/10

>>148573802
S'alright. His problem is that hes not griffin

Honestly the trapper pick doesnt really matter. Past griffin theyre all kinda the same.

Tip for AI monsters, if you have a Griffin. Have your Griffin constantly harpoon it's back, it will turn around and keep running back and forth thru your group trying to get away.

Wow guys, I started checking Slim since it's on the free hunter rotation.

He is not actually too bad IF you have a decent support with shields and good aim. It feels like you are more able to take matters into your own hands when the monster focus you by spamming your weapon and using healing bursts nonstop.

I just wish the healing drones would be more useful and not get destroyed so quick on teammates.

How do they think it's balanced when a full hp stage 3 monster cannot kill the hunters? I don't think I'm that bad but there's nothing I can do about heals and shields out the ass and dps that I have to take cover every 3 seconds.

>>148573782
stage two hasn't been kind to her at all.

why does ranked queue take so long?

>>148574507
What are you on about? Gorgon got buffed in stage 2, shes no wraith or kraken but shes good.

I dont know why they think gorgon needs her damage reduced by 50% though

>>148574652
Because nobody cares about ranked

So for Hyde I think the best is bronze damage silver capacity and gold reload. Plenty of burn time and grenades come back lickity-split.

>>148574652
Probably because no one wants to play monster. There's like 10 times more gold hunters than there are gold monsters

>>148574652
Saw on the forums that from all matches played in all modes, less than 1% are ranked.

Guy who asked earlier: My Griffin perks are now:
>Weapon switch
>Weapon switch
>Rocket King
Did I do good?

The community in this game is already taking a shitter desu:

Last few games have had leaver in them either in the start or in the middle making it exponentially more difficult to kill the monster.

>>148574821

Ranked literally says "too many monsters, not enough hunters" when you queue it

>>148566836
trs confirmed for retarded
5 seconds would be fine for no instagib combo

>>148574938
just one switch is fine imo, you could maybe get that 15% jetpack energy boost for slot 1 since slot 1 doesn't have anything really good

>>148568943
he's one of a few assaults that can maintain pretty good damage at really long range. pretty sure they nerfed the shotgun but hes easily the safest longest ranged assault. both his weps are R to reload so no waiting or being forced to alternate.

super soldier is good on its own but can be really insane with the right perks to make the most out of that small time frame, and the right comp to maximize damage done in that time

that said he has no real area denial or larger AOE effects and is literally a guy with 2 big guns and the means to shoot them faster

What are some good perks for the Wraith?

>Too bad you can't see poison damage on the post-match screen


That figures. I was hitting the same average damage from before I put on the poison perks, so I was thinking something was up since I see the turrets melting the monster's hp.

why are monsters so shit? planet scanner negates any attempt to play stealthily, guaranteeing you'll get domed. so now the devs have forced a level 1 confrontation which purposely leaves the monster at a disadvantage, and a good group of humans will never ever lose track of the monster

in old evolve sometimes the only way to win was to get level 2 or 3 without getting caught, and laughably even then if you were a wraith you could be defeated by a turtle lineup

>>148578436

I didnt really play much of old Evolve but I do remember monsters getting rekt at stage 1 but being able to stay hidden until stage 3, also the planet scanner completely negated the use of several trapper powers designed to find a hiding monster, Crowe's bird thing is just completely fucking redundant.

So the monsters all originate from space slugs with the equation for FTL space/time fuckery in their HNA.

How did they evolve into their current forms? Are those assholes on Akhenaten to blame for that shit, or is it an alien influence? Maybe the slugs evolve on their own somehow?

>>148580062
his gas grenades are total fucking garbage compared to launch, but they're not bad. They deal about 25% of the damage they originally did on launch, but the aoe was bumped up by about 30%. They used to be used to force the monster out of very specific spots or force him off the medic, now it's just kinda an annoyance you don't want to be.

Why is the Wraith so sexy you guys

So this is free now cool, I got it for cheap awhile ago I might jump back in. The dlc was ridiculous and I played most of the new characters without even paying .

Whats changed? Does everyone still bitch about wraith? I hear everyone can use the trap dome now and that sounds retarded, whats trappers use now besides slowing the monster down?

>>148580285

>>148580379

Why does everyone hate Parnell?

>>148580254
>his gas grenades are total fucking garbage compared to launch
Launch gas grenade also slowed down the HUNTERS and his flamethrower dealt much less damage

>>148580379
>Does everyone still bitch about wraith?
Wraith has a special, passive ability that's curiously not in the game files. The ability makes anyone she beats suffer the incredible and incessant need to go on the forums and bitch and moan about how she's OP and needs a nerf before she kills the fanbase.

That's to say yeah, people still bitch about her. At one point half the threads on the Turtle Rock forum were literally just a variation on "Wraith is OP".

Monster had chip damage for hp too.

>>148581231
>Even hyde shits all over him
How so? Both primaries are made for close range, but Parnell works somewhat in medium too, which is better than not being able to reach at all.
Parnell's rocket launcher is not that great, but it's free damage in super soldier if you have the quick change perk.

>>148581609
Hyde's chaingun isn't awful. Its pretty weak, but you never have to use it other than for tagging additional damage on while the monster runs away, and its better for that than rockets
Otherwise he just shoots fire constantly and uses his reloads to reposition his grenade.
With both flamethrower and grenade, his damage is better than Parnell in supersoldier, with just flamethrower he's better than Parnell out of SS, and he has the utility of area denial and doesn't cost himself health to do damage.

>>148579849
Fucking faggot dog.

How does character picking work? For example my preference is trapper and so is another person, who does it go to? At first I thought it was highest level but that doesn't seem to be the case, is it just random?

>>148582249
the chaingun actually deals slightly more damage than the flamethrower and it can also headshot and exploit weak points, but it's way too inaccurate to use it besides that one tag shot when the monster is running away but if you manage to sneak upon a monster evolving you can melt its face off with it

>>148582249
his chaingun used to have the highest dps in the game, and I believe it still does at point with weakpoints.

Why didn't they rename trapper to tracker? Trapper doesn't make sense anymore now that their special is tracking, everybody can trap now.

>>148582249
>Chaingun is better for chasing
I don't agree. Aiming with it slows you down. Moving while using the rocket launcher works decently enough.
>Flamethrower damage is better than shotgun
Even if it is, you can score headshots with the shotgun to compensate.

Best Perks for Elder kraken?

>>148581609
>Parnell works in medium too
Not even remotely.

Perfectly on-target close-range shots with the shotgun can do 88-120+ damage but that is an extreme rarity. More often you will be landing mid-range shots or slight missed for between 22-44 damage which is pathetic. Rockets do 90 a piece which would be ok if the launcher capacity wasn't so insanely small.

Parnell is and always has been garbage. He was garbage even back when his Super Soldier actually had some use because it decreased reload times as well as increasing fire speed.

>>148583461

dunno if he knew he could cancel evolving, but damn its a nice orbital drilling

You get gay trap stuff really often, I thought it was a great change of pace but got too dommy at parts.

>>148586813
Lennox has shit damage at range

Jack can actually be extremely useful for keeping the monster off teammates, his CC is quite powerful with good teamwork, almost as strong as Griffin's hook.

Tech Hank blows. Having shield on top of health is useless, the whole idea is to shield someone when they're low on health so they can be healed while the monster takes down the shield. You need to be able to survive a prolonged fight and Tech Hank is terrible at that. Bucket, on the other hand, gets a free second team shield and can restore other people's abilities while inflicting poison and acid with his turrets

In no universe is Val a better medic than Caira. The name of the game with medic is sustainability as you are the prime target and Caira is the queen of survival.

Laz is shit. Period.

Guess which side I was on.

But seriously, the last game I played, I decided that instead of fighting directly when I was domed, I would run. And that was the longest match I've ever been in. I even managed to make it to stage 3 for the first time. Whoever decided that all hunters could use the dome needs to be shot.

I would like if they made a long range assault I mean shit they gave slim a shotgun and medic is meant to be in the back

I like wasteland Maggie

>>148587623
Torvald is supposed to be the longrange assault, isn't he?

I feel really useless as griffin. My harpoon feels so easy to mitigate. The monster just turns around and slaps the chain and its done and I gotta reload.

What else am I good for?

>>148587808
Finding the monster when there is no fighting

>>148587808
Your harpoon is easily broken, yes, but it's also a very powerful protection tool. The general idea is to make sure the medic (or whoever the monster is focusing) is on the opposite side of the monster as you, and you hook the monster so your teammate can escape and heal.

Griffin's harpoon also pulls the Kraken out of the air very quickly now.

Just keep in mind you have to be anchored. It does nothing if you're jumping or running towards the monster, you need to be planted or backpedaling.

>>148587808
Are you kidding me? Harpoon is the most effective way to keep them from fleeing after you break their armor, even if they break it as fast as possible it's still the best CC in the game

>>148587808
>The monster just turns around and slaps the chain
first, always keep yourself on the back of the monster, use jetpack boosts if necessary
second, a hit on the tether is a hit not laid on your teammates
third, put a fucking spike down so your team knows the monster whereabouts the whole fight

Is it bad to just let hunters win if I'm stuck as monster?

I know I won't win and it'll just be a boring five minutes of running if I try.

>>148587968

ah.. I didn't know I needed to back pedal./

>>148588554
Giving up is just boring. Playing the monster is really strange at times but its a nice break from hunting and you gotta get better somehow
Might help if you can find a monster you actually like playing as

Yeah so check this shit out

>Dome Elder Kraken
>He hides behind a rock
>Suddenly we can't find him at all
>Notice tracks outside of the dome but figure they're from before he got in
>Scan, he's in the direction of the tracks
>He's actually outside the dome
>Our Assault says you can slip out at the very last second, the rest of use say no fucking way
>Dome him again
>He disappears and is across the map again
>Check his account
>Named "testing", multiple VAC bans, name history various forms of "testing stuff" etc
>Comes back into the dome after we start talking in chat about him hacking, our Assault is now convinced as well
>His armor pops to full every time it breaks

That's it boys. A hack is live.

How exactly is the order of sequence for Shield Burst for maximum effectiveness? In other words, when do I need to absolutely use it? Right before the medic does his heal burst or right after? Right before a monster is about to hit someone with an ability like rock throw? Only when someone is on low health?

>when do I shield
Ok, so, monsters focus one hunter to try to take them down, and usually that hunter is the medic.

If you shield the medic when they're at full health then you're protecting them, but soon that shield will run out and while it's recharging that medic is extremely vulnerable.

However, if you were to simply keep watch over the focus target as the medic struggles to keep them up and shield when they're low on health then the person can be healed to full while the monster is breaking through the shield.

The latter leaves you in the same position as the former after the shield goes down, except you're much much later in the fight.

is abe worthless? I like playing as him but grifin just seems superior?

>>148589845
Abe does more damage, that's mostly it
Not worthless, he's playable easily, just probably not as good

How exactly are TRS keeping themselves afloat?

Welp, hats up boys, games done.

how do I play slim

>>148590302
>7 years of service
jesus fucking god its been around forever

>>148590469
in training room with bots
the idea behind Slim is good, but he suffers from shit mechanics
he has worst heal burst to begin with, but has to shoot perfectly to make up for it
his drones die when the character takes damage? so its useless. why should I want to heal hunter who are not hurt

What is the best set of perks for trapper griffin?

>Tfw you play Behemoth for the first time

>>148590002
Abe does more damage but also a good abe will almost never lose sight/tracking of the monster. He can be better than griffin in some scenarios IMO.

Holy fuck elder kraken is OP.

Whats the best skill route for elder quacken

I personally think the idea of slim is fun.


but hes really really shitty.
