Do you spam specials? que them up in your combat que or do you fire specials 1 at a time?

I pvp a lot and notice that if I que lots of shots in my combat que I tend not to fire sometimes for ages. but if i press clear then hit special again it works.

Does panic shot delay combat que or your firing in general?

panic shot delays any action by 10 seconds, except your actual movement


so yes, your combat queue and your actual firing

I will usually only que up 2 or 3 shots in advance. Especially in PVP.

it depends on who your groupped with , your distance to target, the amount of targets and the presence of other mind damaging classes , if they are buffed or not and what armor they have on.


Weapon of choice
Comp armor = Jawa
Anyother = E11 or Laser or T-21
NO armor = E11 or Laser or T-21


dlt20a or cdef for sniper shot (low ham cost)


Target Class
Defense Stacker , E11 or Laser (scoped) + flushing1/2 for stun
Combat Medic/rifleman/doc BIggest Baddest damage Jawa Ion headshot untill dead
everything else is mainly autofire or strafe2 + headshot2's as need.


I fire 1 or 2 specials at a time. Due to lag and Mind cost, that way you give yourself enough time to pop a moun, fishak or glazed glucose as needed and still keep your self battle ready and moving.


A good 1st round volley is Flush2 or strafe2 , random pool but you do get lucky and hit the mind from time to time. Follow up a mind hit with headshots.


Since your also a TKA I would recommend getting in a war/intimadate in when every you can when people close in.
ASpamming shot rifleman is a dead rifleman (unless buffed correctly), you always need time to heal, first aid and snipershot.Cycle your targets and keep your eyes on your team mates They might need you more then you need them.


Of course these are just my observations with pvp, I always group with 3-4 other players. Fully buffed with a stock of spice and food. Your tatics may vary but do what every you can do to stay alive and keep them cloning as fast as possible.
