Bolt Driver

[Mag-Mower]

I was just wondering if the blot driver is any good, is it as effective as the pheonix(best weapon ever) on infantry, i am confussed whether to buy a Special weapon cert or Bolt driver...

[JetRaiden]

no, not even close. bolt driver needs a buff big time. it takes 3 hits to kill rexo.

[LimpBIT]

get AV

[SecondRaven]

no, not even close. bolt driver needs a buff big time. it takes 3 hits to kill rexo.


It takes 3 hits for Rexo when they have the Person Sheild Inplant on, if they dont its only 2 shots

IMO the bolt driver is fine as is

i do have av, (lots of fun!) i probally will get blot driver, because im makin a character for far distance shooting... but i will eventually get the JH

we know this guy isnt a good sniper

[Jaged]

Yes, get sniping, it flat out owns. Once you get skilled with it it is far superior to the Phoenix vs infantry.

[ZionsFire]

Bolt Driver>You


Also, DON'T FUCK WITH IT!

[Doppler]

Errr considering it takes six shots with a phoenix to do what a bolt driver does in two?

[ORANGE]

In theory though if planetside had hit boxes instead of a hit box I would get it again but the fact where I could hit a in the head and not kill him in one shot pissed me off so after about 2 months I dropped it like Stry's mom

[flypengy]

hmmm... people that use av against infantry probably need help with the game over all.

Okay. Now, I was gonna make fun of you for typing "blot" instead of "bolt" twice in a row, but, after doing a google image search for "ink blot," I think this is a better post.

True. Pheonix is designed as Anti-Vehicular, you wouldnt waste 6 on a trooper. Bolt Drivers kill Rexo in 2 easy shots. Its just having patience, and finding alot of spots to snipe from. Once you have fired, move to other location. Traits of a crap sniper is them just sitting it out in one spot, and will be hunted within his/her first couple of shots.

[ORANGE]

2 shots then move is my moto for sniping and set up a spit or motion detector behind you for incase someone tries to sneak up on you

Sniping is not worth 3 cert points.

late again sorry but the bolt driver takes 2 shot for evey infnatry but the infil. Wereas teh phoeinx take 6-8 or so direct hit phoenixes.

Also people that use AV on infantry unless as a total last resort should give up the game now

[JetRaiden]

/me bashes jetraiden over the head with sig.

psh, please, anyone who thinks the bolt driver is worth three battle ranks needs to be shot.

just give it a damage buff, or make it 2 points, anything!

[Rbstr]

the Boltdriver is DEfinently worht the 3 certpoints if you know how to use is, ask any of teh 3 snipers the BH have, me, electro, and raven we can rack up kills faster than lasher/JH spammers

What would you change about the bolt driver that would make it "better"?

[JetRaiden]

make it 2 cert points. or make it do 200 damage instead of 150.

[ZionsFire]

...200 damage?........the fuck.

[JetRaiden]

...200 damage?........the fuck.

:huh: are you deaf? or blind?

right now a single bolt driver hit does 150 damage, make it 200.

[ZionsFire]

Ugh, dont fuck with the Boltdriver please.

[Ait'al]

it takes two hits to kill a rexo or any infantry with a bolt driver. If it took more you missed. Take it from someone with enhanced tartget.

And sniping kicks ass if you know how to use it. You can take a nice heavy assault weapon or anti air and rip through people. you can then afford to sit back and pick people off during assaults or jump up in a more traditional role. Its great for large infantry battles. And its the most effectient anti infantry weapon damage wise.

And youd be surprised how little someone comes after you if your not in a spot someone normally would come after you for. There are so many snipers right now you usually just get into it with another sniper or two on the other side and everyone else goes about there business.

[Rbstr]

2 hits to kill a rexo, even if it used a Medikit? and its underpowered?

[UncleDynamite]

Bolt driver is teh win. That's all you need to know.

[Ait'al]

And bolt driver always leaves a rexo with exactly 35 life from the first hit with and he has no armor. ITs like 15 or 25 for agile. and i dont know the rest. i always seem to kill rexos. And i always wear rexo, so....

[jsloan31]

being a former rexo, and a current sniper,

if rexo heals using medpack, and repairs armor, it'll take at least 3 hits.

/agree

[Real Mulambo]

Bolt driver = much soundness

2 shots = dead mofo

Learn how to lead your shots and rack up the kills.

Get the zoom implant and shoot them from out of sight as well.

[SilverLord]

It's a decent cert if you got a good comp and people don't warp all over the place. ;)

Enemy Air Support always find those pesky snipers and sort them out.

Actualy, sniping is a good cert for people with shitty comps. For them, playing in the middle of the zerg is impossible. When sniping away from the fight, they can get a acceptable frame rate.

Thats why I always snipe near some sort of AA.
