================
= The Violator =
=======================
= Ammo: 6 =
= Clips: 4 (24 Ammo) =
= Max Ammo: 6+24 = 30 =
=======================
As the Ohm bear down on their opponents they draw their Violators. A brutal
close-range weapon, this oversized shotgun tears through their enemies like
tissue paper. Unfortunately, its limited magazine and slow rate of fire
greatly reduce its effectiveness in any kind of distance fighting. When
upgraded, this weapon will embed fragments in the ground which will launch at
the next opponent within range that is shot by the Violator.
==============
= Level Zero =
==============
Shoots the target. VERY devastating damage, VERY slow reload.
=========================
= Level One: Quick Clip =
=========================
Greatly reduces reload time. No other changes.
==========================
= Level Two: Smart Shell =
==========================
Embeds dormant fragments into inanimate objects which will launch at the next
opponent within range that is shot by the Violator.
=====================================
= Level Three: Smart Shell Repeater =
=====================================
Embedded fragments will last longer and may be used against successive targets.
===============
= My Thoughts =
===============
A very useful weapon and one of the two I use. Up close, few weapons are as
devastating or satisfying as the Violator; a good Violator will devastate
anything that gets close to him.
[Using]
Get close and fire for devastating results. It's that simple. The FIRST thing
you will want to do is put a CAM in this; if you don't it's going to take
about 4-5 seconds to reload, and that's more than enough time to put you down.
Level Two and Three are useful, but not hugely so; upgrade them if you've got
no other high-priority upgrades worthy of saving up your CAMs for.
[Fighting]
This should be obvious - DON'T GET CLOSE. Distance is the best counter against
the Violator. Back the hell up and be wary for a long distance weapon -
Violator/Tyrant is a popular combo, so is Violator/Javelin. Be wary of these
as you pull back. If the opposing Vio user has it upgraded to Level Two or
Three, he might purposely shoot the ground to land some Shrapnel to increase
his damage if he hits - try to get out of line of sight to this shrapnel.
[Effectiveness]
4/5 - Nothing is better up close, but if they get away from you, the
effectiveness drops to zero. Keep this in mind, and try to close the gap, but
be wary of it - a few grenades, orbs, a sniper round or heat-seeking rocket
will really ruin your day.
[Cheapness]
2/5 - Not too cheap at all. People might cry if you air-condition them up
close, but you can avoid it easy if you fight smart.
=================
= The Wolverine =
==========================
= Ammo: 40 =
= Clips: 4 (160 Ammo) =
= Max Ammo: 40+160 = 200 =
==========================
The Wolverine embodies a simple Human credo: "If it ain't broke, don't fix
it." A rugged high-caliber machinegun, capable of an increased rate of fire
and utilizing armor piercing rounds when upgraded. It is effective at almost
all ranges. This longtime veteran of the Coalition military brings old-school
brawn onto a futuristic battlefield.
==============
= Level Zero =
==============
Shoots the target with a good rate of fire. Highly inaccurate in all but short
bursts.
===============================
= Level One: Assault Override =
===============================
Faster firing rate. No other changes.
===========================
= Level Two: Focused Fire =
===========================
Greatly increased accuracy. No other changes.
===================================
= Level Three: Silk Jacket Rounds =
===================================
Shots do more damage.
===============
= My Thoughts =
===============
This is the other weapon I use, along with the Violator. This thing, if your
aim is good, can hands down be the most deadly weapon out there. As the game
says, it's good in all ranges, plus has a good-sized clip and a good amount of
ammo to use it with. It doesn't have the single-shot punch of the Javelin, but
it more than makes up for it in sheer rate of fire. I've had many opponents
take a few bullets with it and quickly retreat to heal up, giving me a decisive
defensive advantage. And unlike the Javelin, if you miss your shot, you're
never left vulnerable due to the consistent stream of gunfire.
[Using]
Well, point your crosshair and shoot. Definitely get this thing up to Level
Two as soon as possible - it really makes it nasty. Tapping the trigger will
keep accuracy good, and if you crouch it actually gets even tighter, making
this one very nasty weapon to go up against on maps with long straightaways.
Level Three is deadly as hell - a quick burst against an unarmored opponent
could easily shave off half of his health, if not outright kill him. If you
can keep your crosshair on them, this is probably one of the best guns for
you.
[Fighting]
Well, there's not much you can do against the Wolverine. Get out of Line of
Sight and it can't hurt you, otherwise the damage you take is highly dependent
on the competency of the player, your surroundings, and his upgrade level.
Watch out for a Wolverine/Tyrant combo - they'll try to fling a grenade at you
if you're behind cover or will bounce it off the corner, hoping you'll stick
around. If his aim is good, however, you might be dead no matter what if you
don't escape immediately. A good tactic to use would be to rush the user, but
be wary of a player pulling out a Violator or Grenades - they will put you down
quick and if it's a Violator, chances are his aim is hot enough to pick you off
if you get close.
[Effectiveness]
5/5 - You can use it at any range and if your aim is good, this should be one
of your two weapons.
[Cheapness]
3/5 - While it does do ridiculous amounts of damage and has high accuracy, the
weapon can be avoided by simply getting out of line of sight.
=============
= The Judge =
===============
= Ammo: 4 =
= Clips: N/A =
= Max Ammo: 4 =
===============
The C.M.A. Rocket Launcher, dubbed "The Judge" by Coalition troops, is without
equal in a fire fight for pure destructive force. A simple fire-and-forget
rocket launcher, it becomes a relentless, heat-seeking, multi-warhead missile
once fully upgraded.
==============
= Level Zero =
==============
A simple fire-and-forget rocket. It travels straight and will blow up when it
hits something.
==========================
= Level One: Target Lock =
==========================
Rockets are capable of locking onto an enemy or enemy vehicle. Hold your
crosshair over the target for about a second to attain a lock.
=========================
= Level Two: Twin Snake =
=========================
The rocket is able to attain two separate locks and split to attack both
separately.
==============================
= Level Three: Hydra Missile =
==============================
This missile can acquire up to four separate targets and divide to attack each
of them individually. Simply devastating.
===============
= My Thoughts =
===============
In my opinion, this weapon is crap. It CAN be useful, but any good player will
very rarely get smoked by rockets - the real good ones can actually outrun
them with relative ease. It has more bark than bite, nine times out of ten.
[Using]
If you choose to go with this clunker anyway, try to get it at least to Level
One. Lockons make this weapon marginally better, but don't expect miracles with
it. The other two upgrades are utterly worthless, for the most part - if you
have to take out a cluster of enemies, grenades are a far better choice than
this.
[Fighting]
Umm... depends. If it's a dumb missile, simply sidestep about 10 feet away and
you're good to go. If it's heat seeking, try to get some cover between you or
shoot it down. If it's a multiwarhead, pray for cover or blow them up fast,
because it's almost impossible to dodge those Hydra Missiles and live.
[Effectiveness]
1/5 - Hands down the weakest weapon in the game. Don't use it, because a player
with nearly anything else will smoke you, Rocket Man.
[Cheapness] 0/5 - If it's possible for a weapon this shitty to be cheap at all,
let me know.
================
= The Vanguard =
==========================
= Ammo: 40/10 =
= Clips: 3 3/4 (150) =
= Max Ammo: 150+40 = 190 =
==========================
Capable of laying down a blaze of suppression fire or charging and releasing a
deadly energy sphere that will attack any who come near its position, the
Kovos have used the Vanguard to corner and then eliminate countless enemies in
battle.
==============
= Level Zero =
==============
Basically a projectile-based version of the Wolverine. Shoots small blue shots.
========================
= Level One: Fast Fire =
========================
Faster firing rate. No other changes.
=========================
= Level Two: Sentry Orb =
=========================
This changes the use of the weapon dramatically. Holding down fire (and using
four "shots") will let you charge up a slow moving energy orb. This orb will
damage any enemies that come near it about once a second. When it hits a wall,
it will stick for a few seconds before disappearing. Direct contact with the
orb will seriously damage the player.
=============================
= Level Three: Vanguard Orb =
=============================
Like above, but the orb travels much faster, hurts much more frequently, and
sticks around longer.
