New meta against illuminate?

[Galahad]

We all know that throwing a turret down behind cover forces harvesters to attack the turret, making them easy to kill with a support weapon.

But they also exhibit this behaviour against mines.

Maybe the meta against illuminate is to have someone on the team take cheap mines that spawn a lot of them, like the anti personnel mines.

why you care about meta? this is not an PVP game, and also, every democracy weapon is powefull, everyone with a gun can help, i report you to the ministry of the truth.

Nah. Incendiary Grenades suffice against the voteless.

I just take what ever i feel like at the time. I like to mix things up. I get bored using the same loadout all the time.

Because some weapons do way better than others, and using weapons that do ♥♥♥♥ all against the enemies is not fun.

I just take whatever, but I think one of the best primary weapons for illuminate is the blitzer by far

.....

I've also noticed that it LASER FOCUSES the car if there are people in it.

I hope it's not something that gets patched out. Manipulating enemy's behaviour in videogames is good fun.

Just shoot'em.

Be gone with ye, meta slave.

Because I used the word meta to describe what I was doing, this is how people are treating it. You are like monkeys.

How about we replace that word with 'Tactic' huh? I'm here discussing enemy behaviour and tactic on a forum about the videogame we all love and play and you're here ready to outcast me for using a word.


Update: It turns out it's not guaranteed that their attention is focused on them. But it's still a viable tactic because when they do focus the mines, they try to kill all of them one by one.

I just walking barrage everything to hell and back

[McFuzz]

the normal MG is the meta.

[TwinelyWix]

Dominator, senator, adju, counter sniper DMR, purifier, new burst sniper, AMR, medium and heavy MGs for overseers. Aim for the head is you can.
AMR, medium and heavy MGs, las cannon for harvesters. DO NOT shoot the eye. Aim for the leg joint.
Anything that shoots fast for voteless. I prefer stun smg.
X Crossbow, nade pistol, impacts for manually destroying UFOs and tesla towers. Non impact nades seem to roll out of the door sometimes.
Tesla tower is really good for defense missions. Machine gun turrets are also good if you protect them from harvesters.
Orbital laser, 120/380 barrages, gas strike, OPS, 500kg for outposts. 500kg is still 500kg even after all the buffs so expect it to fail sometimes.
AMR is not as good as it used to be rn because of lagging sights bug.
Thats what i have tested at dif 10.
