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.
