[GUNNER] Advanced tactics

[BusDriver]

Nice guide, I dont play gunner but this seems well written from what I know of the class.

Crude bandages heal 75? Tell me somebody is mistaken here.
I use the lvl 3 bandage which gives me about 80 hp or a little over half my gunners life. I don't think lvl 2 bandage heals 75. That needs double checking.

Take Leg It if you prefer a defensive strategy, like running away from grenades, burning bullets, etc.

I like playing offensive as the OP mentioned, so 5/5 shield and 5/5 keg. Love the burning effect it has when it blows up. It even burns persons in a tank. So when they jump out, their life is already down. They can't use bandages while in a tank.

I'll be maxing out my leg it as well just to maneuver around enemies. Hopefully I can still keep my aim on them while I am all over the place.

I Eats Grenades is currently bugged as we all know. Until they fix it, I'm avoiding it for now.

I found out something new today First here is my build.
1-Hero shield
1-I eat nades.
1/5 Leg it
2/5 Frenzy Fire
I used to have keg but found out it won`t work for me.
So I tried Frenzy Fire with long range mg. That makes it an accually realy good skill with damage from like 8 to 12 for an longer distance. I`ve always seen frenzy fire as the underdog of an gunner but I should reccoment trying it just for a time with the long range mg.(With short range it sucks)

PS: Why I don`t have a short range mg?
Dude I`ve got an shotgun I don`t need wan .

Edit for docarchi--> I have leg it as offensive strategy, I use it to get close to my ennemies en than rape them at point blank with my shotgun. I can easelly take my ennemies out like that.

Alright, I want to discuss weapons...

I know you have to have the Short Range Shotgun for one weapon. But which MG do you choose? Obviously not the short range one. But between the Standard MG and the Long Range MG, which one are you going to want to equip. I've been using the Long Range MG myself, but it seems so flaky sometimes.

Someone give me some solid information regarding the MG's please!

btw im always looking for a clan/team... I have a 30 mando already, and I'm working on my gunner right now that is 19

Very helpful... I got a question though, Can you take down planes with your rocket launcher???

[vxAngelOfDeathxv]

XXXXX
I use hero shield to engage in mid range combat
then throw a keg to slow them down, (you can throw kegs while the hero sheild is still ACTIVE!!)

FROM there, your shield should be depleted
now that they're slowed down, you can use FRENZY FIRE to shoot em up, while regaining health
this can apply for 1 vs 1 and even groups!
you can even shoot the keg with your rocket to impole it prematurely!

Honestly, I just use the short range machine gun and the tank buster and thats it. I feel like it's quite great in tandem with Frenzy Fire as the Very Fast Firing Rate, the accuracy boost and the ability to heal you every 4 shots. I have'nt got it yet, but I know it is gonna be good.

What I'm gonna try-
5/5 Leg It
5/5 Frenzy Fire
1/5 I Eats Grenades
5/5 Hero Shield

Feel free to say how sh*t my combo is, I'm testing this when I'm level 30, and when I'm done, redistribute time!

Although this guide is good, it only briefly covers abilities. My National Gunner (Hunter2400) is level 15 and I've been using 5/5 leg it, 1/5 hero shield, and 1/5 frenzy fire. A good stradigy is to use leg it as much as possible, getting as much damage as you can. Once that wears out, you want to activate the sheild. As soon as you see the little sheild go away from your overall health, use the frenzy fire to regain the health you lost. By then, (if you aren't dead yet) use the bandage to get your health to a good level. IMPOTANT: IF A SOLDIER USES BURNING BULLETS ON YOU, ACTIVATE THE SHEILD RIGHT AWAY! The sheild will protect your health from the damage that the BB will make. Use frenzy fire afterwards to regain the lost health. If a commando if charging at you, use leg it to run away from him while shooting. If your leg it is recharging, use the rocket launcher to hopefully fling him over your head. If it doesn't work, well, GOOD LUCK!!!
