I use crossbow always. If I get confronted alot by scout/soldier then I switch to needles
Thought you use crossbow always?]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=23935&post=427850 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 21:44:05 +0100 Reply by Barvazon https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/tactics/topic-23935/page-3/?recent=428005#post=427844 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=23935&post=427844 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 20:50:00 +0100 Reply by Medic-kun https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/tactics/topic-23935/page-3/?recent=428005#post=427776 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=23935&post=427776 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 17:15:12 +0100 Reply by sidude7 https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/tactics/topic-23935/page-2/?recent=428005#post=427741 Quoted from Zoidberg
Crossbow, pretty much always. It is worth learning to aim with it. I mostly play mixes, so if I feel like I am gonna be confronted by scouts all the time, then I use needles. But the damage the crossbow does is a lot more useful, especially for picking low soldiers or scouts trying to get you.
Nice to see someone from the South African scene posting :).]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=23935&post=427741 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:46:15 +0100 Reply by ZoidbergWillZA https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/tactics/topic-23935/page-2/?recent=428005#post=427740 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=23935&post=427740 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 14:21:41 +0100 Reply by ilike2spin https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/tactics/topic-23935/page-2/?recent=428005#post=426732 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=23935&post=426732 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 15:39:02 +0100 Reply by Dukermons https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/tactics/topic-23935/page-2/?recent=428005#post=426725 Quoted from Admirable
If you make a habit of switching to it in the scenarios where healing isn't important
Please do elaborate on these scenarios. Crossbow seems to be the only choice imho. Even with my legendary bad aim I've saved a few long distance, (stationary), soldiers or demos, who have gone on to win us a mid fight or push. I've killed heavies at last. I've finished off medics after a call of them being low and I've even hit an occasional airshot on aggro sollies as well as killed a fair few pesky scouts too. Did I mention my aim was terrible? Well it is. If I can make it work then anyone can.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=23935&post=426725 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:49:31 +0100 Reply by DeusVox https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/tactics/topic-23935/page-2/?recent=428005#post=426716 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=23935&post=426716 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 13:28:12 +0100 Reply by Allyy https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/tactics/topic-23935/page-2/?recent=428005#post=426709 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=23935&post=426709 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 11:59:59 +0100 Reply by svins https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/tactics/topic-23935/page-2/?recent=428005#post=426652 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=23935&post=426652 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 18:16:54 +0100 Reply by Cunlico https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/tactics/topic-23935/page-2/?recent=428005#post=426469 Quoted from Cuttlefish
One thing I've noticed is that lower-div Crossbow medics are often pretty trigger-happy and think they'll get amazing streaks with it, which rarely happens.
That's fucking true. I used to do that sometimes and I constantly keep failing most times. Short sad story: If you cant hit crossbow (which I couldnt) quite consistantly use that, otherwise it's just wasted time lost on healing your teammates and building ubers, also it is more difficult to defend yourself while escaping (as it has ever been easy, but now we have gunboats so who cares); else use syringe gun (overdose now). Except granary, imo there are no suitable place to use crossbow on that efficiently even if you can hit, whereas it's by far more likely that you'll need to spam needles throgh the infinites chock and corridors to escape from scouts/sollys chasing you.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=tactics&topic=23935&post=426469 Sun, 30 Dec 2012 20:11:27 +0100 Reply by Moogi https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/tactics/topic-23935/page-2/?recent=428005#post=426464 Quoted from ilike2spin
Why are people suggesting the stock syringe gun is viable now? Have I missed something? I thought the Overdose is exactly the same in terms of damage and regen but better in that it allows for the speed boost. Why would anyone use the syringe?
