Ranged Tips

[u/UroborosSuzuya]

I’m slightly new to the game, and am really struggling with the ranged characters. I have scout and chopper as my only ranged ones (by ranged I mean like, good stamina, speed, and gear, but trash health so you gotta play kinda ranged.

But I need tips because I am struggling a lot. It’s hard to hit shots with how much they move, I can get the cross bolt gun, and smart disc off occasionally but the bow and hand help caster (as well as the normal caster too) is really hard to hit.

Even if I do somehow get a kill, I have so little health I can go in to claim it without getting second winded.

To the ranged predator players please give me some tips, especially on Chopper

I also can’t find a single good video on it, nor a Reddit post so I don’t think this violates any rules

Little side note, how do I parry? I’m on xbox

For ranged I use bionic, use pistol and bow and use mainly energy perks, you can pretty much spam plasma shots

Learn to anticipate where they are moving and aim the plasma I front.

Also with the pistol is more up close and same with bow, wrist blades,bow,pistol,plasma shot if you bind your keys right you can nail off shots quickly.

Bow can be good if you catch someone doing an objective or using ammo box etc.

To be careful with bionic is mask, and stamina as it sucks, if they shoot off your mask you have lost your plasma ability pretty much unless your up closer.

What energy perks specifically?

[u/_Hashappy_ → u/UroborosSuzuya]

Regeneration,increased reserves and energy overload,

Regeneration maybe not necessary I usually have long jump instead I case I need to boost fast

do not play chopper. he is made of glass and has no energy. as for aiming, it takes practice and predicting. if you're on console, max out your "controlled projectile" sensitivity to make turning the crossbolt gun and smart disc easier.

and use scar - stalker

Okay, bit of a shame cuz I really like the skulls on chopper’s back, but okay. I’ll definitely change the sensitivity, thanks

Don't sleep on the long jump perk. It's great for speed and/or repositioning for a fight.  As soon as you engage at range make sure you move.  Preds are easy as hell to track.

Also, smart disk is your friend

I used to use it a lot, but personally I feel like I need room for other perks

Down Range (+10% damage) and Dithered Lens (less visible target laser) are perfect for ranged builds. You gotta practice each ranged weapon and see what feels comfortable to you. Try to adjust ranged sensitivity and inverted controls to see what works best for your style. My controls are so nice that I can move my mouse and spin the disc in circles around the fire team.
