Useful Gameplay Tips Thread

[technophebe]

I figured since we're all desperately waiting for the 2nd, we could do something useful in the meantime and start a thread with useful playing tips that we picked up during beta. I'll start:

- Reconfigure [space] to roll instead of jump; rolling is incredibly useful in combat, make it part of your routine!

- Don't sell junk weapons to vendor, use the salvage screen to break them down instead. That way you can be constantly buying keycodes to get the low level lockboxes and have a steady stream of green rarity items coming in. Any greens you get out of the lockboxes that are no good to you can be broken down themselves and put back into the process.

Oh geez and how could I forget this one:

- DON'T KILL THE SKITTERLINGS DURING ARKFALLS; they're the things that are creating those weak spot blobs on the crystal so that you can actually damage it!

- If it glows, shoot it!

[SparX]

- Locate the nearest ammo station before jumping into a major Arkfall event. You will run out of ammo.

Remember, you have dodge rolls, and a mellee attack

Tips from Atlntx...
- never have 2 weapons with same ammo type, use single weapon for each ammo types..
- don't spray n pray unless its absolutely necessary
- arkfall destruction always go for the weak spot (glowy red stuff, it will appear and disappear on top of the arkfall)
- humonoid characters weak spot > head
- weak spot hits = 100% crit

Rebind every poorly chosen keybind to your g600 and setup your g-shift to slow down your over zealous mouse when aiming.

You can quick travel by clicking the blue icons on the map.

Mute all game sound before entering a group!

- Locate the nearest ammo station before jumping into a major Arkfall event. You will run out of ammo.

Hey, do the ammo stations resupply all of your ammo for every weapon you have in inventory, or just the one you have equipped, or just the 2 you have in your loadout?
