Rampart Turret/Vehicle/Drone Combination

Okay, last thread got closed because people were being too rude.

Here is my video: https://youtu.be/yOhmZB9QLmM

In my last thread, people said "do this or that or the other thing", yes, that could have been done, however, you were not the one playing. I was. I can watch any fight anywhere about anything and sit there and say "well why didn't you do this that and the other thing?" If you wanna tell me how to play the game, don't even comment. As stated before, a million things could have been done differently, but that was not the situation being dealt with in the video clip. Next time I will not clip them.

So thanks for the feedback on how to play the game.

Now back to the main point - A flying/mobile turret.

I am not going to answer all the questions that were asked in my previous thread in where the asker tried to justify a mobile turret.

My question is simply - why is this a game design? It is very hard to combat especially in such an open map design.

Her turret can output so much damage in so little time. It DOES break the game and not make it fun when on the receiving end. It no longer allows players to combat this.

For instance:
- A squad is seeking shelter in a building. The ring closes. They are FORCED out of the building. But alas, a turret/drone combination is waiting for them. The drone is up so high it is hard to shoot at (especially while a ring is closing) and the turret spins up. Instantly downs the squad.

In my video, you can clearly see the turret instantly chew through my entire squad's health. The last person got away with like 3hp because the turret needed reloading - they got lucky.

The fact is, the turret can chew through health and armor like it doesn't even exist. Now it can be made mobile so there is no way to outrun or escape it.

I would like an explanation on how this was a good idea from the developers.

@SolitaryMassacre The devs either didn’t intend to do this or added it as more of a funny joke, like the gold Mozambique. Either way, they’ll probably take it out by the next update.

In your video, you did pretty good damage to the Rampart. If you aimed at the drone and/or moved to cover, you probably could’ve downed the Rampart or broken the drone. Your squad wasn’t exactly full health either.

In your example, if the drone is so high up it is difficult to shoot at, (which must be extremely high, like as high as you can go, if not more), then the Rampart turret would also have a tough time shooting you. It would do decent damage, but because of the spread it won’t instantly kill.

Wait, this is putting Rampart's turret atop Crypto's drone? I haven't seen that yet, crazy.

@SolitaryMassacre"Okay, last thread got closed because people were being too rude."

Actually, I stated my points and opinions, and you started to tell me I was "just bad" and was "overlooking" and overall - got in my face about it. LOL

But, if you want the issue to be addressed more... eh "properly", it be easier to say "Hey, turrets on drones is game breaking, can it be fixed?" and then linked the video. Your comments/posts were a little passive aggressive - and THAT'S what got your thread locked.

There's also these weird white icons that show up on the map, that look like jagged sharp teeth, yeah those are "turrets". If you see one moving around - assume it's a trident, if you don't hear the trident - assume it's a drone. Knowing it's on a drone, shoot first, ping later. The faster you down her, the more likely you'll survive.

It makes you think more, I say your complaint is really more of we need a new legend to counter her mini gun, the more legends and diverse gameplay the better.

I think their will be a legend very soon whom is anti vechicle with lock on missles to take down emplacements or cars and other vecicles, Cryptos drone, how i would love to make you disappear with a ground to air missle and this type of character leads the ground work for mechs being an option in the game, also new types of anti vechicles weapons.

I say broaden your horizon, why limit the way you can play?

Rampart is very defensive not everyone loves being run down by overly agressive players, if you charge rampart you should die fast and a reason to pick rampart.
Who charges a mini gun? anyone?

I'm jumping in before we go down off locking the topic route again.

Can we behave and respect each other here on the forum, constrictive conversations on what you think is important and don't insult other players on the forum.

Thank you.
