Well, obviously, I have trouble alone, but when I tried to "help", I would usually send my decoy to distract, then hit the Volge shields with a spanner to drain them, and hit the other player to recharge. Was that a bad strategy?
I always try to let the other player that was there first get the kill shot.
After seeing the posts about sometimes no help is better, I'll likely hold off now. Maybe I need to stop avoiding them while alone, so I can get better.
If I am in the game lately, it is simply hopping from one Arkfall to another. Maybe after the DLC hits tomorrow and emergencies are a little more worth it reward wise (they at least get a scrip boost), I'll do them instead of just driving past them. But generally speaking, emergencies are just things in my way at this stage.
Well I would highly recommend it as you can only get better. I recommend trying out different ego powers, for me Overcharge works best. I've actually started a thread where people can post their fastest takedowns. Maybe that'll help people out, give them some ideas and such. The first week they were in I struggled with them as well so it's not like you're the only oneOriginally Posted by LITTLE B1RD
You would be better help if you put on a VBI AR, VOT Pulsar or FRC SAW (siphon works well to help your survivability), kill shot shouldn't really matter that much anymore. Just unload until they are dead, don't waste the missiles on the ground on anything but the elite at the end.
A Tachmag Pulser with Syphen is a good choice too. My weapon of choice is a VBI AR with syphen. Thread with the taking out volge in minute or under will be in my signature in a few seconds.
I like those Volge for decent loot and weapon xp(when I was leveling SMG's and LMG's). Every now and then I help the rare ark hunter who looks like (s)he needs an hand. I tend to solo them or hunt with friends every now and then.
this is exactly the situation a ranted about on another thread. the volge emergency that spawns right across from bug n chug can spill over and overtake the store area. i tried to get help from those just afk'ing it there but no use. i died 3 times and had to extract twice. i think it should be an unwritten rule. you see purple dots in a volge battle, you help! ya, i solo volge a lot , but i am never upset with help. lets all play together! i have more fun hunting volge in a group than soloing any day!
edit: my volge killer is a VBI SMG it has 2 crit bonuses and syphon. and its only blue... it destroys volge...
When I'm using my techmag pulser with syphon I stop at every single volge emergency. that weapon just obliterates volge. When i'm leveling other weapons I avoid volge, but still try to help others when I see them fighting volge. And I don't give a shtako about farmers getting annoyed. Fortunately for me most people I encounter seems to like the teamplay.
Don't help me =P
Did you drag them to the Bug n Chug? You can kite them using the cargo container, I use it all the time.
