Planetside 2 nicknames (for weapons equipment and vehicles)

[redshirt]

Our group/outfit had some somewhat odd ones...

Armor was refered to as pants.

Light Pants = Light Exo
Big/Heavy Pants = Rexo
MAX Pants!

Standard/Spawn armor we called naked.

Groups of Rexo/Lights we refered to as softies. eg. incoming softies at the back door.

Ahh good times! And jokes about pants everything more fun

we've got crabs! = VS MAX chrash incoming.

[Noivad]

PJ's for no Armor and Jimmy Jammer for the Jammer grenade

To add some more from PS1:

• Glue gun (Nano Dispenser)
• Certs (Certifications)
• Mossy (Mosquito)
• CC (Control Console or Control Console Room)
• Gen (Generator)
• Rexo (Reinforced Exosuit)
• Of course, the self-given MAX (Mechanized Assault Exosuit)
• PJs (Standard Exosuit)
• Biffur (Battle Frame Robotics)
• Real weapon classifications like AI (Anti-Infantry), AA (Anti-Air), and AV (Anti-Vehicular)
• GG (Galaxy Gunship)
• Inf (Infiltrator)

There're probably way more, I just can't think of them.
I'm sure many nicknames will form, right away or over time, for things in PS2. They always do

Glad we can cross that one off from PS2

Same, always play VS and have never heard it called a flashlight. Just about as effective as one, though. As awesome as the Vanu are, we are super 'hit and miss' with our guns (and I don't mean inaccurate).
Beamer sucks, but Pulsar's great. Lasher sucks (since they took the aoe away), but Lancer is great.
