What are the best unlocks besides the Voss and the rockets?

**James315** · 11-14-2007, 10:40 PM

...and the defibrillator, of course.

Who really likes an unlock other than those?

**Mordona** · 11-14-2007, 10:45 PM

call me weird. But I dont care for the voss or rockets. I know the rockets have a great use. But I prefer other kits then Assault

Motion mines, Motion mine bait, APM, RDX, EMP nades and IDS are my Favs.

And dont forget spanky with radar nades!

I mostly enjoy close-quarters, so that's probably why I like the Lambert Carbine so much.

The stabalizer is nice too. I know there are some people who don't need it; but I do. Being able to steady the aim, especially when you're zoomed in a fair distance, makes it really easy to pick off enemy snipers quickly, without having to wait for it to balance just right.

Although I really like the rockets, once I learned to properly use them, I would have to say that the Emp Nades, IDS, Pilum, Motion mines, and mine bait are the ones that I prefer and find most useful in a squad. It really depends on the maps and what soldier you prefer to play. I have recently found myself utilizing the engineer kit more and more.

IDS IDS IDS IDS IDS IDS IDS IDS IDS! This unlock is and will forever remain broken! get it while its hot! Good players will draw out so much tactical advantage out of one of those small little beeping things its not even funny.

Wholeheartedly agree. THE most useful unlock on infantry maps (which almost all of the maps are).

I personally don't like the Voss that much. Its great, but I'm just not a huge fan of it, though I use it 50% of the time (other 50% being Krylov).

Pretty much all of the recon unlocks are solid if you wanna use them, though if you're wondering what to unlock next, just be aware the recon isn't "always" useful in a squad on the move.

I setup my kits the same way almost every time, so this is my list of "the best unlocks" to date:

Assault
- Otis
- Voss (As PAC I always equip the Krylov and feel it worthy of mention here)
- Defib
- Rockets
Engineer
- Otis
- Pillum or SAAW
- PDS (so many people equip bait that I don't feel the need, plus I feel the intel this provides is invaluable when defending certain flags and assaulting others)
- Motion Mines
Support
- Otis
- Ganz (I suck at the Clark)
- IDS (this is a MUST)
- EMP Grenades
Recon (I love to get behind enemy lines)
- Spwan Beacon
- Decoy
- Active Camo (cloaking)
- Lambert

*Edit*
My list above is incomplete. I forgot about the netbat and advanced hub unlocks. They are invaluable as well as the grenades, sprint, etc.

On the Assault side, the advanced hub, net bat, defib, rockets, NS expanded mag, and the Herzog.

I used to love the Baur, but with 1.4, the SCAR is so much better I'm wondering if they are smoking crack. The Baur is great point-blank and from far away, in between is where it has trouble.

Herzog is one of the big under-rated ones here. On some maps with fast-moving squads it's great, some of my best rounds are with the Baurzog.

Engineer class is lots o' fun with the mentioned mines and mine bait. The SMGs are awesome up close with NS clip expansion and extra mag (more useful then the Lambert).

Support is great with the Clark. Very bad ass with the new fire rate, IDS and heartbeat monitor. Some people love the Ganz too. I've had some good rounds with it but I'm not consistently good with it.

Recon is good too - Can you say RDX? At TG, you will find most squads will prefer you roll as assault rather than Recon. You'll understand when you see those enemy all-medic squads that JUST WON'T DIE!

Well, lately I've noticed some members of TG *eyes Lyra* going as recon and being *quite* effective with RDX and eliminating our all-medic squads. Now I'm not sure if this is intentional on his part or if he's just goofing off... but if it is intentional, I suspect that gameplay at TG may be in for a real shift.

This isn't new, Lyra's been doing this stuff from the start. You just have to learn to adapt, which in this case means calling out "Lyra" over VoIP and running in the other direction.

Yes, when Lyra is about, watch for RDX packs almost anywhere. Lyra is uniquely effective at defending flags and choke points with RDX.

God help you if someone has left him an ammo pack or supply crate nearby.

**Kitteh** · 11-15-2007, 11:33 AM

Well, the player unlocks are most definatly the best...in my opinion
I would not be able to stand having to wait 30 damn minutes just for my stamina meter to get all the way back up just so I get squashed by that fav im trying to get out of the way from ect

Oh and the nades? psh so what? mayby they dont have a rocket attached to thier ass for easier ussability but...yah uhm

player unlocks ftw ^_^

Really? I'd always known that facing off with him in a walker was bad news... I never knew that he was an RDX whore.

Well, I'll definitely keep that tidbit in mind.

**Rob** · 11-15-2007, 04:23 PM

About unlocks, I don't care for the Voss. At all.

the Baur is my favorite all-round weapon, and the rockets help a lot. If yu play the big maps, Pilum is priority, and the advanced repair tool. I've only played a few rounds using the pilum, and have destroyed many tanker's hopes of having a kill fest

though getting shot alot in the process lol

**Grimmfist** · 11-15-2007, 06:32 PM

The IDS is probably the best unlock out there. Info on the battlefield is key to swinging a tight game. And who hasn't been shotgunned by Lyra using an IDS. The defib comes in next as alive squadmates and teammates equals better chance for you to survive!
