Bah! Grenades are awesome enough for their purposes, but I only want tactical explosives on my Engineer's tac-rig. I can't wait to see what other toys we Vanu Demolitions Engineers will get to play with!

so what does IFF stand for?

specifically, did anyone try out the iff nades/device

LZachariah · 2012-06-10, 09:43 PM

I think that the 20% figure they've been mentioning can be seen here in some of the certifications that increase damage, range, or accuracy. If each block offered, for instance, a 5% boost, then all four of them would ultimately provide a 20% boost to that value, whatever it was. Higby said that for the weapon certification, you need to "choose" it at your loadout screen. So do you want to have 20% better accuracy? or 20% increased range? Etc.

IFF generally stands for "Identify Friend or Foe". I'm not sure what that would do; scramble enemy radar? Could be very interesting. But then again, this GAME is very interesting.

thanks, after looking at the interview posted above, you can see when he mouses over the iff device, its a device that reveals enemy positions, emp drains shields and decloaks other infiltrators, and I assume scrambler does the opposite of iff

I really am drooling over all the cloak choices, especially the stalker cloak, which appears to basically be the equivalent of "cloak'n dagger" from tf2

I posted this image for folks in chat, so I figured I'd share it too.

Nebula VM20

Each weapon has its own certification tree, so purchasing this would make it available to equip and use on a VS MAX.

I'm just looking forward to learning more about each Cert. Leaning pretty hard to Eng or Medic... i'm the usual support guy.

I've put a lot of this on the PSU Wiki. Wish you had more shots of your mouse over some of the cert levels so that the box showed what the effect was. Great stuff though!

Great stuff, I'm glad that this info has been helpful. All the tooltips are subject to change, so it may be better ti wait a few more weeks til we have the official list. (Though with the NDA I dunno how much we can edit / update the cert and tooltip list)

C4 Grenade for the Light Assault? That sounds awesome.

Neurotoxin · 2012-06-28, 05:55 PM

I wonder how much of this is going to be the same in Closed Beta, and how much will be completely redone... We already know ammo is being switched from Light Assault to Engineers (I think that's where it was decided to go) but I wonder if more will be added, if more levels will be available, etc.

We'll know soon!!

Well the thing is no dev has actually come out and confirmed that the ammo box is being moved from the LA to the engineer..AFAIK
In the E3 presentation video it simply said that engineers "can supply ammunition." This is what has spurred the community to believe the LA's ammo box was moved to the engineer. However this could be in reference to their deployable MAST...mobile armament supply terminal.

Frankly I'd rather have the ammo box on the LA for beta. I want to test it out first in beta before forum theorycrafting regulates it to the already utility saturated engineer.
