A lot of people have no experience with the relic, and because of this, they don't know the controls for it. [b]There are four different actions that you can do with the relic: cleanse, shield bash, ground slam, and the ranged attack.[/b] [b]These controls will vary between consoles and controller button layouts[/b].
To perform a [b]cleanse[/b] while holding the relic, [b]press the button that you use to throw your grenades[/b].
To perform a [b]shield bash[/b] while holding the relic, [b]press the button that you use to shoot[/b].
To perform a [b]ground slam[/b] while holding the relic, [b]press the button that you use to jump (to jump of course!), then press the button that you use to shoot while you are in the air.[/b]
To perform a [b]ranged attack[/b] while holding the relic, press [b]whatever button(s) you use to execute or activate your super[/b].
Don't want the relic? [b]Press the button that you use to switch weapons[/b] to drop it.
That's it! By learning how to execute these actions, you'll save a lot of walls, and a lot of controllers.
Tips from HandledPanda3:
[quote]-when teleported and grabbing the relic, do not jump into the air to do a ground pound like most say, run down the stairs, then when your close, rather jump and use (right trigger) or shoot. or just use regular shoot without jumping to dispatch of your enemys, this works best on
the desert/mars/left side,
jungle- run down on the right side (dont jump again) when you go to your enemies atempt to take out the 2 goblins with the ground smash if not , try 1, then shoot, rightbumper, rightbumper, shoot, and the irritating giant shielded by that great void should be taken out, if not, 1 more rightbumper should do it,
this combination has worked for me thus far, i've only failed jungle 3 times doing this, and all were do to the "regen" bug which is caused by lag i believe,
desert side may fail more often, but if you see them facing you ready to shoot, start running to the left, and you can fall down and run around towards them, and still take them out usually without any trouble.
- i am lvl 30, but i've been doing this on the hard raid since lvl 29. and it works very well.
if you do jump into the air, your telling the enemy that your on your way, and your sure to be shot out of the air, and have your team, saddened by your failure.[/quote]
EDIT: I was previously unaware that you could change your button layout in this game. The information above has been revised to be more general, because of this.
EDIT 2: I was not aware that Bumper Jumper still existed. Revisions were made.

Edited by Kelamor: 11/2/2014 8:20:48 AMTip for portal teams. If a hunter goes in the portal have them use Golden Gun to A: Kill Praetorian or B: Kill all 3 Hobgoblins. Someone with Void Heavy weapon also work well to help kill praetorian. If your relic bearer is good and of the proper lvl he should be able to 1 shot the Hobgoblins with a ground slam. Do not shoot until relic bearer attacks Hobs otherwise you attract their attention making things unsafe for the relic bearer...often getting him sniped before he reaches them.

My lvl 29 hunter can kill that Praetorian on Venus side in 3 hits - all jump+RT. I have never had a problem with him on my hunter. If my teammates want to help with a grenade that is fine, but rarely do I look to them for assistance.

1 ReplyYou forget one more button that you can use while holding the relic. Hold the change weapon button to drop the relic on the floor. Pretty useful while doing gatekeeper phase to release 2 rockets and doing it quicker.

You said it a bit wrong. Melee button does a light melee shield swing which does very little damage - useless unless you want to fly through the air. If so then jump up into the air and press the button repeatedly. Primary fire button is the button that does the shield bash on the ground ( pretty much a one hit kill on everything without a shield) and ground smash while in the air. Also the higher you are into the air the more damage you do.

1 Reply[quote]Finally, to perform a [b]ranged attack[/b] while holding the relic, press [b]whatever two buttons you use to execute or activate your super[/b].[/quote] I only have to press 1 button!!! Bumper Jumper ftw!!!

4 RepliesSwitch them to "Grenade button" for cleanse, "melee button" for slashing shield, Jumping and the "shoot button" for ground slam, "shoot" button for forward slam/shield bash, "super" for the relics super Not everybody uses default.
-
Helpful post! May I suggest adding press [b]and hold[/b] the button cleanse and that this also brings up relic shield.

Edited by Golgari: 11/2/2014 8:07:54 AMWhat about the sprint + melee combo? I think that's something worth mentioning especially against praetorians. Melee by itself gets you killed and sometimes even ground smash (if you're near the praetorian) gets you killed too.
-
Bump, good post. I love it when i get to take the relic. Melee weapons are great. I want a sword or a hammer.
-
Also the higher you are on the ground slam is the more damage you do. Level also effects how much damage you do :)
