Sidearms, fast ttk and being that close that fast makes ppl panic. Cryostesia in particular.

It is pretty risky to play in stompee slide range of a shotgun though.
-
That's the best part, we live and die on our positioning, baiting a full radar ping just out of slide range just for them to try the push and realize that I'm actually too far away brings a smile to my face everytime.

Yeah I doing the same on smg snipe but something to keep in mind is that if you have taken damage they can get a shotgun cleanup from quite fast and often quicker than the incredibly fast sidearm ttk. I play solar hunter with hc shotgun so if I am fighting a sidearm I can usually peek shoot one headshot then slide in with stompies for the cleanup and if necessary I also have knife trick.

Also a solar hunter main, run weighted knife to fill the slot of a slug shotgun. And an orb grenade to punish corners. I also have very high standards for my side arms rolls, so I'm pushing their max range. Cryo being my main at 260 pushes further out than most would expect, plus freeze functionality and I'm really enjoying controlling vision, I've got an 8/10 and I'm trying for a 10/10 to replace my allied demand permanently. But side arm against shotgun mind games are some of my favorite because of they're both good, there's almost no room for error.

The solar nade is good but the cool-down is really long so I rather use fusions
-
Precision frames have soo much range- it surprises me every time I use one. Weighed throwing knife fell pretty random and inconsistent to me and knife trick is very good for cleanups, never thought about using it to replace a slug though. If you wanted to be really diabolical you can use Drang and chaperone - I use it on invis hunter sometimes and it is just pure profit

Bearbeitet von Zodleon: 7/11/2024 7:25:42 AMSee I love slugs, 30% or so of my sg kills are slugs, but cryo imo is nastier, every kill i get I get to freeze the next guy and weighted throwing knife them for free, which gives me radient for the next guy. Along with just having an unreasonable amount of exp using knives normally. I also have 10 discipline naturally on my armor set, so the cool down isn't an issue, and i get some crazy banks shots on them. That's what I like about solar hunter, though it's not super flashy. I just buffs your guns and have a good variety of options in grenades and melees to fit your style.

You could use cryo AND a slug instead of snipe. I just use solar hunter for the handling on dodge but it feels so weak compared to prismatic

Bearbeitet von Zodleon: 7/11/2024 7:45:59 AMI have done it but, but only when my oponents are stupid aggressive, I don't like being so range restricted, plus I use the sniper to clean up long range cryo freezes (you can freeze ppl at like 50 meters it's crazy) if I don't have a knife, I've got a QD opening shot far future for that job specifically. Though I gave in and ran prismatic hunter and khovostov + shotty for my last 4 games into ascendant, not happy about it, but I was getting pretty over it at 5 am.

When you are playing vs prismatic hunter non stop it feels like you need to put it on for payback or just to compete. I need to stop neglecting comp - the connections are just so bad though
