A begginer's guide to driving a revenant

***Its finally here!*** **Yes, this guide will be shorter becase the revenant is easier to drive, but if you have anything to add, please tell me!** [quote]Intro:[/quote] Well, its finally here, its been a few months eh? Well, the wait is over, the messages will cease, and you will all be high rollers in the "not mini, mega!" wraith. It, like most vehicles aside from warthog and ghost ;) is easy to pick up and get a killing spree. My guides are here to take you beyond that, take you to a running riot. This vehicle is perticulary challenging to survive in, but also is easy to destroy in. If you can use this vehicle right, the other team might as well quit out, because they have no more hope. [quote]Part 1: Driving school[/quote] The basics of revenant driving are parralel to those of the ghost; Don't drive fast often, use your guns, and avoid heavy weapons. But it doesnt stay the same for long. With a revenant, you dont have to be scared of mass attacks, you actually can drive head-first into a swarm of enemies, using a fake splatter to draw AL, then bombing all of them with plasma and laughing to yourself as you drive away. Its actually one of the easiest vehicles of the game, because it is a more agile, harder to hit, almost as powerful wraith. It will never be the target of the enemy team's power weapons, but yet it will cause mass devastation. A tip for driving this monster is your gunner. You really are going to want one, and theres only one gun they can have: the sniper. This weapon will MAUL. the reticle size increases, and if they have auto-aim on from their XBL profile settings, they will be racking up the hard to hit targets left and right. In fact, having this is almost more important than a warthog gunner (almost, because the warthog cant shoot giant balls of plasma). There are a few other weapons that are smart to have your gunner hold though. Plasma launcher, rocket launcher, plasma pistol, and concussion rifle are all very effective. The reason they are lower level is they are harder to use, and less effective, plus harder to find on the map you see the revenant on, hemorrage. One more thing to keep in mind is enemy snipers. You are wide open in the revenant, and if they are a good shot, you might have some trouble. Just make sure that you know where they are so you can take them out, because if not it will come back to haunt you. Also, wraith are a hassle to take care of if they can get you. Get up close and personal and bomb them, constantly moving in a circle around them. they usually cant catch up, but make sure you dont go so fast that they hit you. [quote]Part 2: Defensive driving[/quote] Its actually really simple: Stay defensive! People will run at you with plasma pistols, but you have to just gun them down. People will come at you with power weapons, just flee the seen if there are too many. Really i cant educate you on defensive driving, because it is so open how you drive the revenant, what you know you can defeat and cant, you just have to experiment and find for yourself how to be defensive. The biggest thing is just being aware of your surroundings, and being smart. [quote]Conclusion[/quote] I'm sorry if this mini guide dissapointed you, but the revenant isnt a ghost or warthog that people fail at driving all the time, people do tend to succeed, so this guide is mostly improving your driving. And please, if theres anything I missed, please tell me!

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] spreadin cheaks thrust and splatter kids. that's about it.[/quote] This is the losing team's guide to driving a Revenant. I just skimmed your guide. It seemed to cover some key points. You might also want to mention that the Revenant has a few good benefits like the ability to [b]strafe[/b] while in combat. And movement control is sleek enough to let you effectively [b]sneak[/b] around the map with it. As the only map with a revy for the longest time is Hemmorhage and people will automatically go "Sneak? on HEMMORHAGE???" I will point out that you can EASILY use higher hills/caves/map awareness to hide yourself. You have a great FoV, it hovers high above your vehicle, so you can stay hidden and easily look up over mounds, and stuff that keeps you out of sight. Taking advantage of this you can easily see when the enemy players ARENT looking at you and take advantage of these moments to make an attack, then a getaway, then regroup and move cautiously until you are relatively unnoticed/forgotten by the enemy team again.

  • Rev is a great support vehicle, one of it's great abilities is to provoke the other team into making a rash move, there is nothing else that can easily stay out of harms way whilst raining down highly visible mortars on any threat from the enemy. It's the only vehicle in Reach I'll always get into if available, everything else seems cumbersome.
