Who wants to be a millionaires? (XBOX360 NA only)

When I run it with clan mates(That's about 15-20 clan mates, while the rest are plugs) We have broken the crystal on the first hang before he drops to the ground, in less than a minute and can do it consistently. If we don't break it on the first hang, it is either broken before the 2nd or on the 2nd hang. Weapons involve thunder lmg, vbi assault rifles, saws, heavy assault carbines (the one from top notch is a great choice) coupled with a wolfhound. Ground pounders are useful for the first minute, before the locks break because you can put them on the shield.

Unfortunately there are too many people that don't know any better, refuse to know any better or know better and choose to annoy people, so we're stuck with people using volge battle rifles, infectors, bmgs, rocket launchers and detonators, on top of typhoons and thunderers.

Thing is, since the drops are nerfed, majority of pc players that know what to do are holding off on doing them right now.

Wow so what your basically saying is that there are people who play this game who aren't score greedy and think ground pounders and volge weapons are the best thing ever. Guess its just an xbox 360 na thing.

It's not platform biased. But there are still a lot of idjits that ruin the experience. It's trion's fault for adding mechanics that can be ruined by other players. They rectified the problem with red crystal arkfalls by making it so the critical spots show up without the skitterlings. They need to do something here by either increasing the health on the locks or making the upper room so full of volge that it takes a good 3-5 minutes just to clear it.

I dont play on XBOX so I wouldn't truely know. But, Id like to make a suggestion. Have you tried this same approach in game via zone chat? Something simple like "If anyone is interested in learning how to increase their score on the warmaster fast travel to XXXXXX" get a little group together there if possible and explain the details in area chat or private group.

Granted you could attempt to do the entire process over zone chat but IMO you would likely receive a lot of griefing from other players

If you do have players that show up interested you can break down perk setups and spike placement / timing etc.

Maybe your already doing these things, I don't know. Just restating what most others have, the majority of forum goers are already informed and though I'm sure a few arent or are at least open to trying to learn new tactics or compare tactics its the players in game that don't read that forums that NEED you the most.

Again kudos on your efforts I wish you many Monkey deaths.



**I have personally taken the time to find out what weapons players actually have available to them and made suggestions of what best to use based on what they have and what type weapon they should work towards getting, as well as what perks to use based on what they have unlocked and which perks they should focus on maxing out next. Several of these players increased their scores by 200k and some by 500k or more. Just think if you take the time to teach someone and they teach someone. You can make improvements.

A lot of players simply go well I dont have that weapon or I dont have that OJ, but you dont need OJ weapons or 9 perks all maxed, You just need decent weapons and solid tactics. Make the most out of what you do have.

When I play my 5k toon I regularly score top 3 with little effort.
When I play my alt toon under 1k with limited weapon and perk choices I still make top 10 often top 5 and occasionally top 3

So recap.
1. weapon choice.
2. perk choice.
3. shield choice
4. proper use of perks IE crouching and not aiming to benefit from "+dmg when firing from the hip"
5. knowing what angle to fire from to gain "+dmg from behind" during bomb phases or laser attacks
6. quick scoping to reset weapon accuracy / short pauses between firing for increased accuracy
7. when to extract, resupply ammo
8.how a dual loadout works for people who really want to min/max
9.proper moding for guns, IE power bore over crit barrel if used as an armor breaker
10. Why radiation weapons are so good for everyone.

optional; save all raditation FRC particle ultimags and give them away to players whom dont have good guns and explain how by using that one gun that are effectively doing 2m dmg or more
(wouldnt hurt to tell them to fire it fully charged lol
having 1-2 people using these the entire match makes a huge difference and you will notice it.
having more then 5 people using them might be a bad thing but I doubt thats ever really a problem.
I never complain when my wolfhound starts critting for 20k+

Thank you very much for your effort.You are probably right about doing it in the game instead of forum.I only tried it here first just to check how many would like the idea.I will also check the FRC particle ultimags

Good in theory, terrible application and some straight out bad advice. Only one weapon you listed is worth using in a warmaster and that's the wolfhound, it doesn't even have to be a good wolfhound. If you're out there training people to use those weapons, I'm glad this is on xbox and hope people on pc know better and actually read the guide that was posted on the forums by nilxain.

I only advice them to get a typhoon x and clusterdrop cause its the cheapest weapon in the game.If your advising us to used good ar it costs an arm and a leg here on xbox360 na.We're talking about millions of scrip.

[Camelot]

Maybe because the player's that need the help doesn't use the forums?

One of the reason why I posted to help is because all the top players are gone,that includes you.Do you have any advice on what weapons and perks to use?Any help would be welcome.

It does not cost an arm and a leg to get an EMC LMG from a rep vendor and slap a radiation converter mod on it. It does not cost an arm and a leg to get a blue Wolfhound or even the green one you can get from the mission. Even if the Wolfhound doesn't have any critical hit bonus stats the base crit multiplier alone makes it a sufficient critical DPS weapon to use when the armor drops.

Telling players to use a Typhoon and Clusterdrop regardless of what kind of group they're in is bad advice because it only perpetuates the notion that all that matters is getting your personal damage to over a million and that you can simply ignore the reality that a lot of times there are not going to be enough players that will do that and that the Warmaster will simply escape with that approach. If the group breaks the armor early enough then everyone's damage will increase for the rest of the Arkbreak, including the deadweight, adding millions of additional damage to the Warmaster from the group to increase the likelihood of a kill.

that's what i'm talking about here and there.. but nobody listening.

and btw - don't forget the blasters. with good mag rolls or native rad nano they can deal highest white DPS in game.

I am willing to learn so whoever wishes to show me I'll listen I'll be online tonight by 8pm pst and I will screen shot what perks and weapons are needed. My gt is in my sig please message me your perk setup and weapon setup . This message goes to whoever wants to show me . Thanks guys

I think people are scared to take you up on your offer. I feel your pain, im by no means a "heavy hitter" but I consistantly score 1 to 1.2 million, unless I go down 2 or more times then its like 850-950. It really sucks when I look at #10-20 and they all have 100-400k only. I think the biggest issue is that people are trying different guns and strategies since the surge/split nerf, thus dps is way down. I think this is also causing more people to get downed, as Im usually one of just 2-4 people with zero downs. If you are going down more than 2 times DPS is severely hindered. I have also noticed that people are now very stingy with their Spikes. The monkey hangs and see three spikes out? WTF?!! With all this BS going on I think alot of people are saying, "what the ****, ill just pull out my BMG and level it up", because I see alot of BMG action now.

All I can say is thank goodness we get a free spike every day because I wouldnt waste 10k to buy one to go fail at a monkey because of a bunch of monkey ****s.

i still use the surge/split on the warmaster with an smg n always put 700k+ dmg to him

Before, I usually use thunder and a woulfhound.Thunder to break the crystal and wolfhound for the crit and I always score 900k.I wasn't satisfied with my score and I was thinking I could do better.So I ask around, specially those guys who always get the top1 place.And he taught me everything I need to know.
I don't know about you but our warmaster is glicthing.If I go on his right arm he turn around so fast and I'm facing his left arm again.It's kind of annoying thats why I used a detonators instead.
