Stealth suits

[Adun]

What are they good for? I see a few uses like guarding a hacked terminal and giving anyone who comes to re-hack it a good knifeing, but how many other uses have other people found for it?

Please post any useful, fun or crasy/stupid things you could do in a stealth suit.

[Mr1337Duck]

Anybody that likes to do helpful stuff like hacking and medical but not be seen and shot at uses stealth. Knifing on the battlefield is also lots of fun. Mostly hackers, though.

I killed a crapload of enemies by surging up behind them and nailing em at point-blank in the back with my AMP.

Surge and crouch, Surge and crouch...that's the key. You should try it, it's fun as hell :cool:

[HawkEye]

i use infil to scout bases, look for AMSes so SL can OS it, and to take out snipers. i crouch a lot, so i go right up behind a peep like point blank and unload on them and kill them. being an infil is a lot of fun IMO.

[SweetTater]

Follow the trail of enemies back to the AMS, sneak in, and hack'n'jack it. Bonus points if you run over the newly spawned enemies.

Sneak up to the vehicle console at base that was just taken over by the enemy and set up a boomer. Watch little bad guy bits fly all over when you detonate.

Wait by the entrance of an enemy base which was heavy mined by them. When a vehicle drives by, toss a jammer grenade and blow up the vehicle while clearing a path into the base.

Get AI Max cert, sneak into a base and hack a equipment console. Switch to the MAX and run rampant through the base.

or u can jack an AMS then decon it, i hate when that happenes i get so pissed, especially when theres like 20 peeps in the claock bubble

Some of the really good squad/unit leaders use it. They can then easily set up somewhere with a good view of the battle and not have to worry about getting shot while they issue orders, set waypoints or call in orbital strikes.

<once saw a inf place 5 boomers around an ams and toss a jammer

[Phorcy]

Could not have set 5 Boomers and then used a Jammer not enough room. Maybe 4 then a Jammer.

I wonder how many Boomers it would take to take out a AMS. . .

[Eliaas_Demens]

I'd guess half a dozen or so. Twelve will take out a generator.

[12tontuna]

I agree with the scouting thing.

I don't have hacking or Engineering, so I look for things. I also try to find ways to mess with snipers, without killing them.

Following them while turning Adv. Targetting on and off is fun. They can hear the sound and get all freaked out.

[Hamma]

Stealthers always try and gank my reaver when I am reloading/repairing it.

I hate that shit :mad:

[Nekota]

Or have the enemy clear a mine field for you. You can sneak very close to mines while crouched. Place a couple of mines inside an enemy mine field and either have the enemy set off the mines clearing the mine field or throwing jammers clearing the mine field. In any case it's win win :D . Another fun thing is in a base that just fell place mines at choke points like in Tech Plants a trail of mines leading from the vehicle terminal equals auto death. Another good use is as a pilot. You're for more likely to survive having to bail out without being hunted down in an infiltration suit (barring your enemy isn't a Mosquito) then in any other armor type.

[Fuzzymath]

Infs are good for setting up orbital stirkes...

[12tontuna]

Never gank the vehicle that's being reloaded or repaired. 9 times out of 10, the driver is also the engineer.

Gank the driver.

Always gank the driver. Then the vehicle sits there, all forlorn and stuff.

[Kyonye]

i kill many ghosts (which are stealthers for those who don't know) with my DL and audio amplifier.

[Mr1337Duck]

I once jacked an enemy AMS, not many people spawning, none noticed me. Well, that is... until i burst off the hill like that semi in T2 and crushed all of them. They didn't like that, one infil stopped an entire base assault.

[SumYungGui]

as an infiltrator, my main target is enemy AMses. sooooo many people set up an AMS, maybe set up some light defenses, then just leave it alone. by hacking an enemy AMS you've simultaneously denied the enemy the ability to spawn there (possibley stalling/halting the entire enemy offensive) and given your side an extra spawn, sometimes in very strategically valuable areas.

in bases I try to play with the enemies minds/background abilities.combat engineer is your friend. pull out your knife, whack the enemy generator once or twice, run like hell. wash, rinse, repeat. they'll either start to ignore it totally allowing you to atually destroy it (you did bring your combat engineer ACE's right?) or steadfastly defend it. if they defend it, leave the area. an enemy MAX defending the gens is an enemy MAX not defending the CC. rather unfortunately, one infiltrator cannot carry enough boomers to take out a gen alone. you'll need to find an out-of-the-way inventory station to hack a few times and restock on boomers.

once I've decided to move on from the gens the enemy inv terminals are the next highest priority. it's amazing how few people have a repair gun in their lockers. if you can take out the inv stations your forces can maraude their way through a bunch of suppressor wearing lightly armored pansies with no MAX suits, and I've seen it stay that way for the rest of an entire battle. towers are REALLY easy to do this in if you can get a quick bit of luck and not get butt-fucked by the spawn-and-see-infiltrators-clear-as-day bug.

basically, an infiltrator is a background threat to everything. look at your enemy, try to spot a weakness, and assault their capabilities as an entire force, not as a single soldier. it can be used effectively as an assassin, but I think that's a waste of potential. why kill an enemy once when you can kill his ability to rearm, or get a vehicle, or even spawn totally?

[NecroChu]

They're also fun to run up to people and unload a clip into their face with an AMP. :)

Mwahaha! All i do on Emerald is search for hamma and get him when he jumps out to repair is reaver. :D

[Mr1337Duck]

I love people who stop to repair. They whip out their little gun, I run up, blast them, take their vehicle, and proceed to run over their buddies with it. That's a fun thing to do, pity the TR and VS never use anything but their Tanks, and the gunner always stays in. The Magmower drivers don't care about whether they die, they just want mow down a few dozen people first.

That's why you repair on top of the enemy base :p

[Hamma]

I usually repair in the middle of nowhere, hehe. I find I have the best luck there :p

:lol: That's unique!

[MercFox1]

I love sneaking ahead to point out an Orbital strike! I tell my CO where to get the most tanks/infantry and all of a sudden BOOM! Their entire force is gone! I ROFL whenever I see that. Plus it's also great fun to hack a base that has no defense.

HART to a obscure base that isn't locked VIA a gateway and steal the sucker! They some scrambling and sh|t! I once hacked a base that wasn't defended by anything and it led to a Continent lock!

Not to burst your bubble, but this ain't anyhting real special. I've done this an uncountable amoutn of times. :ugh:

[Lonehunter]

Same here. :(

[Adun]

Thats pretty nice though, hacking a base ans securing an entire continent yourself.

[IDgaf]

A good use of an stealther (as used against me), is to kill engineers as they repair turrets on towers/bases that are being assaulted.

However this can be somewhat countered by reparing everythig in 3rd person view. Can still see the status bar and anything moving behind you.

Last night my squad secured the last bases on Hossin and Amerish, including a few towers. I went up in BR and CR.
