Is there any alternative to darklight?

[MilitantB0B]

I recently tried out playing a MAX. Started as TR and didn't like it to much, too slow and immobile. Then i tried VS MAXs. Let me just say this, jumpjets are so fun, they should be made illegal. :D
I am at BR6 and I was wondering if there is any other implant besides darklight that would be usefull for a MAX dude. I don't really wwanna get DL becauce I honestly don't have problems with infiltrators. They stay clear of me, and I can't catch up to them. :D In fact, the only time I could see myself using DL is while camping a CC. None of the other implants seem paticularly usefull for a full time MAX, what do you guys think?

[TheAngelOfWar]

the problem is the other implants arent very useful for a full time ANYTHING. so you ahve the same arguments as the other classes. adv regen is handy between fights. shield is useless. i havent seen how well surge works with a max. audio amp is always handy. and im too tired to actually remember what the hell else there is.

[MilitantB0B]

I would get adv. regen. but I find that MAXs draw so much fire that if you are taking damage directly to your health, you will be dead before you can say, "We need repairs!" :D I guess DL it is, maybe surge if it works good with MAXs, it would be nice to have something between "run mode" and "turtle mode". :D

well i play a pounder max on TR and i find audio implant very usful because i can see people befor they come thorugh a door or up stairs giving me time to start shooting at them befor they get to me.

Surge - doesnt work for maxs
Adv Regen - Maxs dont need health
Shield - Good for me as im locked down adn need to reload

Ya the only time i can see teh sheild being used is when peopel reload, as it sucks that you cant shoot while its on....but thats the game.:rolleyes:

[MilitantB0B]

Does adio amplification need to be turned on or is it passive?

[HawkEye]

there adv. targeting but i do not know how useful it would be 4 a MAX. i play NC and it was useful when i used my phoenix. but choose what u want try out different things. u can learn and unlearn implants whenever u want so try them out.:D

[NoSurrender]

it needs to be turned on

[1024]

i think audio amplification needs to be turned on and it drains stamina, like everything else.

[Pilgrim]

I live and die by adv. targeting...

I love watching the evil little red bar fall down!

[Incubus]

Adv Regen is pretty useless since the MAX inventory you have plenty of room for health packs. I always carry 6 in every MAX I am in, and the rest ammo. I would think the audio amp sounds pretty cool, also the Adv targetting could help you figure out who to stand and fight with as opposed to run.

[Incompetent]

don't fight it, darklight is a must have for first implant, with so many god damn cloakers running around since its dirt cheap, 2 compared to the 8ish needed for a basic infantryman with none of the extras.

[Incubus]

Agreed.

[Lion of Judah]

Not for a MAX.
DL is nice, but if i was a max i would use somethig esle.
It is nice, but so many people have it, you could get Audio Ampify and it will help you as your not as fast and knowing who is coming is better anyway. DL could be your 2nd or 3rd implant.
Key here is, you can swap them at will, so try whatever works for you.
I use DL on my non-max guy, cuz they always try to gank me. I flip it on and its show time. DANCE LIL CLOAKER>>>>DANCE!!!!!!!!! MUHAHAHAHHAHAH!

[HawkEye]

auido would be good i guess, unless some cloaker has silent run, but i dont know any one who uses that.:D

[Streamline]

If you have to have DL to catch cloaker... ugh... NM

Audio amp > DL

But in the early stages of char creation. Surge is a clearfor many ppl. Keep in mind that your run speed and tragectory determine what you can do with the jumpjets. Surge can give you a little more <3 when jumping and just running in general. I don't think there is any armor that wouldn't benefit from using surge either.

The thing that is really great about audio amp is... since the game is kinda slow, everybody runs. Even cloakers, they just pick when they run. It works on everybody not just stealthers. Stamina consumption is low is comparison to DL.

The counter is silent run yes. But in beta, i used silent run only when i knew other ppl had AA or possibly they where BR18 with 3 implants. I used silent run with AA in beta when DL was useless to me. I was/is quite effective. (I was combat engi att)

[MrVulcan]

ok, if your a max, get Zoom, thats right, zoom. One of my fav combos is a falcon max with zoom, instant sniper max!
