Strategies
Strategy 1
Augmentations
- Ballistic Protection
- Energy Shield
- EMP Shield
- Spy Drone
- Power Recirculator
- Regeneration
Skills
Heavy
Weapons
Plasma Rifle
Description
As soon as an opponent is within short to medium range, turn on all of your augs. This will release the spy drone. Immediately detonate your spy drone by pressing fire. The EMP blast will have very little effect on you since you have EMP shield turned on. Your opponent however, will be without any augmentations for a time. Meanwhile you will be ready to engage with an entire group of combat augs running. This tactic takes only a few seconds to use. This augmentation strategy is particularly useful against opponents who attack by rushing and strafing with the Speed Augmentation. They are instantly neutralized by the EMP blast of the spy drone. Since you have energy shield, the plasma rifle is a fairly good choice of weapon, as the energy shield will protect you from the splash damage from your own gun.
Strategy 2
Augmentations
- Cloak
- Radar Transparency
- Aggressive Defense
- Power Recirculator
- Targeting
- EMP Shield
Skills
Weapons
Description
Use your stealth to get yourself setup in a good position for firing long range GEP rockets. When enemies aren't looking, draw the GEP gun and lock onto them and fire. The aggressive defense helps protect you against incoming GEP rounds, and the targeting augmentation helps your ability to lock on targets. This strategy uses a fair amount of energy, thus you have multitool and lockpick skills to acquire biocells and access repairbots.
Strategy 3
Augmentations
- Vision
- Targeting
- Power Recirculator
- Radar Transparency
- Aggressive Defense
- Energy Shield
- EMP Shield
Skills
Rifle/Heavy
Lockpick
Weapons
Assault Rifle/Plasma Rifle
Sniper Rifle
Description
This is a generally good combination for a player that wants to be aggressive. Vision allows you to find target quickly, and targeting increases damage when attacking. Radar Transparency and Aggresive Defense allow you to be relatively oblivous to surprising or long-range dangers so you can concentrate on your target. It's a moderately expensive combination, bioenergy-wise, so a Lockpick allows you to both accumulate biocells and other offensive goodies like 20mm or WP rockets. This combination works well with virtually any weapon class, though the Assault Rifle and Plasma Rifle work especially well.
Teamplay
Most team play support is automatic in nature. There are no provided hotkeys for instant messages. There are various automatic tools in place to help you work with teammates:
- 1. The aggressive defense augmentation does not target teammates projectiles, and, in fact, will help protect nearby teammates from incoming fire.
- 2. If a teammate takes over a turret, a message is automatically sent to you telling you what has occurred.
- 3. Teammates take reduced damage from your shots, depending on the friendly fire setting on the server.
- 4. Cloaked teammates are still visible to you as merely translucent characters.
- 5. Most importantly, you tend to spawn near your teammates. If your teammates are holding a spawning area (These are near weapon racks, and differ between team and nonteam games), then when you die you will respawn near them, unless too many enemies are nearby. This helps teams hold a particular position, such as the hangar on the bunker map.
