So much salt on these forums about the Colony. Yes, I've been using it to earn my 100 power weapon kills iron banner chest ornament in a timely manner - I am aware it is a no skill scrub weapon, but... [b]It's a no skill scrub weapon because y'all aren't even trying to survive![/b] OMG, I see 2/3 guardians huddling in a control zone and I let loose 3-4 seekers... AND YOU STAND THERE AND LET IT HAPPEN. You're looking RIGHT at me. You SEE the seekers. Half the time nobody even tries to juke at all, but instead freeze like deer in the headlights waiting for oblivion. And then I bet you come onto the forums and complain about Colony. Holy geez, I wish I could get y'all to stand still when I come at you with a shotgun or a sword or a fusion rifle. Things you can do to survive a Colony attack: 1) Run. Whatever direction you're facing, just sprint in that direction. The seekers don't track very far, and they don't take long to decide who/what/if they're going to track at all. If you run as soon as I shoot, there is a decent chance the seekers won't even lock on to you at all. 2) Avoid walls and boxes. Like an earthquake, go to an OPEN SPACE. Do not back up against a wall or a box - the seekers love walls and boxes. The seekers hate open spaces. 3) Jump. If you're a titan or a warlock (not running blink) you should basically never be killed by the colony, unless I catch you in a tight corridor. Your jump outlasts seekers. Hunters... sorry, but still, use that triple/strafe jump right and you will certainly avoid ONE seeker and might avoid two, forcing me to shoot 3 or even 4 to actually score the kill, and making me waste power ammo is good in the long run. 4) Team shoot me. I probably waited to shoot until I had EYES on you, which means you have eyes on me. Kill me. Emptying the Colony mag is not as effective as staggering the shots, and if you're paying attention, you can gun me down when I've only gotten 1 seeker off, and you can survive one seeker. 5) Throw an AOE grenade between us. Pulse grenades, vortex, solar and thermite grenades destroy seekers. [EDIT: 6) LISTEN. The gun makes a distinct sound you can hear half-way across a map, and the robots make a distinct sound you can hear with at least a second of warning (if they're crawling). Watch the newsfeed - did somebody load a grenade launcher? If yes, listen for the Colony, listen for the skitter.] There you go, hope that helps your blood pressure a little. [EDIT 2: Childishly, I went ahead and checked the PVP stats of every single one of the scumbags that left negative feedback to this thread, and, amazingly, only 1 had better PVP stats than me, and him not by much. And I'm an admitted scrub. Which just makes them angry losers, not even scrubs.]
