Re: Starting tomorrow...

I'm breaking out roadie Z and disabling all of them. I'm on a mission. Always excited about new abilities though. The sound effects to it sound amazing.

    I'm curious how Roadie Z is a counter to bean bomb.  Does his weapon push them away?  I like Roadie Z, but I have yet to play him seriously, just around in the backyard and in private multiplayer for vanguish quests.

    it's been a while since I've used him. When a bean bomb is deployed, get right next to it as soon as possible and use your primary weapon on it. It doesn't push the bean bomb, rather it decreases the amount of damage. You will still take some damage, around 50. That is against a standard bean bomb. If it's a sombrero, just get out of the way. With the dark bean bomb doing only 80 damage, I'm guessing you will only take 20 to 30 damage. This should discourage the other team from "bombs away" if they're not getting their usually vanquishes from spamming abilities. I used this tactic frequently and was sent hate mail regularly. Assuming this was intended for roadie z, and not a glitch, or bug (whatever) that's been fixed. Practice in your backyard with a friend or split screen 2 player.
