So......the ♥♥♥♥ happened to Bradley?

[barberboy21]

Thanks a mil for finally getting that 3rd crate map drop bug fixed but I've got a serious question.

When you say Bradley is "more vulnerable" against HV rockets does it mean that Bradley has more HP now or what?

Just used 2 c4 like usual and nothing, went back to my base next to launch to grab 2 more and still nothing, also used a satchel on him behind the last 2 c4.

Like is he made now to be taken down with HV only? I'm confused because I just wasted a day of farming my 10 c4 for my launch runs and I've wasted.....all 10 c4 not knowing what's going on.


Also I'm guessing m2 is not in Bradley anymore since the "loot table reworked" happened? On top of if HV rockets are cheaper to make and farm Bradley it won't be a lootable? Not very clear on the Bradley patch on this update.

No Bradley still drops M249's and L96. It only takes 7 hv rockets to rape it so its very easy to take him.

[Yuri]

I'm assuming that's a bug as well or he is only meant to be taken out with rockets because it would make more sense to take down a tank with a rocket launcher like you would in real life.

I mean I reckon but I'm literally confused as to why high end explosives are garbage compared to HV rockets which are dirt cheap now and if they take 7 now to kill Bradley people are going to farm the ♥♥♥♥ out of him now because 7 HV vs. no more 9 rockets or 2 c4 kinda nerfed him. Especially if he's able to spot on the map.

I know droppin heli's is easy with a tower, AK, and 120 bullets but I hope you're not right on 7 HV rockets. If that's the case they should have clarified that instead of just "oh HV rockets have a point now to use."

Because it takes 3 c4 now, you're supposed to use hv rockets you buffoon

Yes thank you Captain Obvious, wouldn't have guessed it without you. What I'm saying is why nerf him to 7 HV rockets and buff him to 3+ c4 and 12+ rockets. Makes 0 sense.


I mean if I had to guess the obvious they're trying to make it to where solo's on high pop servers can take him down cost effective wise? Like I'm confused as to why nerf a "big boy" challenge down to hardly nothing.

It was super easy before to kill bradly with only 2 C4, but the sulfer cost was too high and two level 3 blueprints. Went from 4.4k sulfer to 700 sulfer to farm Bradly making it not a waste of time for a random drop.

HV rockets are anti-vehicle wepon now. And should make bradly move contested and fun.

As HV Rockets they have less explosive payload but better at breaching then other explosives.
C4 - most of the explosive force is absorb and deflected away from a tank.
Anti-vehicle rockets are ment to puncture and explode killing the passengers inside.
More realistic now too.

Which is where I'm getting at, people will go around with M2's here shortly if they figure out how. Like I'm cool with HV doing the deed against Bradley but they need to change it back to the original cost which included 1 explosive charge. Otherwise 700 gp won't be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to do and farm since those rockets were changed to level 2 bench. Not only that but also if HV rockets are that much more useful that's like saying they'll be able to shoot down helis with 3-4 rockets if they imply this logic to Bradley.

I don't know, I personally don't like that it's this stupid easy now to farm Bradley. Ya I was figuring out a way to farm him effectively early map wipes but this takes the cake.

I get the whole "making solo experience better." But for all that just find a dead server and figure out the game. No need to make it stupid easy for solo's on high pop servers.

I don't think the change will make a huge difference at all.
Anyone can counter bradly for free after blown up:
- the loot is not the best other then a few nice guns
- oilrig, cargo ship and combat heli are still way, way better as a solo for easy loot. Your wasting time doing bradly when you could do these.
-bradly from what I heard is more deadly with the machine gun enabled now and no easy 2x C4 from the guard station.

No he's still the same if you farm him from up top of the recycle (which was better imo than guard tower for c4 and rockets more so rockets because damage on top used to be more effective on him).

Like I said if it only costs 700 gp to do Bradley that's faster loot chance for solo to get m2 other than raiding and getting lucky. Personally cargo is contested too much when you can just save up some red/green cards and do the puzzle on top of Bradley. Same goes for small oil for solo's on high pop. People will contest that too if a crate is going.

But we all know by now ya heli is best of best to farm. Providing the said AK, 120 ammo, and tower that is made for it.




Overall I guess we shall see how this plays out.

Didn't know bradly took more damage from above.
How much C4/rockets did it take?
Did that change this update too?

I don't know to be honest. I'm guessing 3 c4 now at once, cause I used the usual 2 and it didn't work ran back to my cave base next to launch and used 2 more and didn't budge so couldn't tell ya.

As far as rockets go, I don't know nor care since it's confirmed 7 HV rockets do the trick. So no point in wasting rockets (used to be 9 if hit right to 10).

[Dyex]

We did Brady a day ago.
Took 7 HV rockets from on top the recycler building.
Just use the large boxy air conditioner units as cover to peek for rockets from.
Was pretty easy.

Dint feel game breaking though.
But it was fun.

[barberboy21]

Ya that's what I use to do for regular rockets. Just wait for him to get far enough and just launch them since the rockets don't have a drop to them now. I just feel like it's easier now cause if 2 people have launchers they can just take him out equally as fast as 2 c4's.
