Hello I'm brijo1 I've just purchased two shocktrains and have them at the level 10 and 11 respectively I put them on a bulgasari level 11 what should I put for my third weapon as I haven't got a third shocktrain yet also I'm still learning how to use the shocktrain and I can't seem to get the hang of it just yet... I have lock on target already checked marked but do I have to do that in game as well it doesn't seem to do the damage I thought it would also I read what the weapon does in game description something about waiting three seconds I'm just not understanding can something to help.

Some tips using shocktrains if they aren’t lvled up and you still want to do some damage
1) Always attack the guy who have more players around him coz that way your damage would be more
2) Try and hit dashbots first coz mostly they will come for you if they can ( most of peeps hate st unless they are using it)
3) keep distance less than 600m and more than 500m and always use in game lock so you don’t waste 3 sec trying to lock on hike player hides away
4) Avoid getting into Orkan and tarans range even if you are using them on bulg. It’s sheild is quite strong but it still breaks after many hits from tarans
5) Avoid all mid rangers if you aren’t using them on bulg and if you equipped the more on bulg then Avoid rdb ,tridents .Zues hits can be blocked by sheild but try not to get hit many times
Also pair of two does ok ..around 400-700k damage at lvl 8 however pair of 3 are deadly.

Hi mate and welcome. You will get a lot of haters in this thread, just ignore them.
You need to work towards a third ST. They work best in threes.
What makes them devastating is how quickly you can fire and get back into cover? No other weapon even comes close to them in this respect. Practise angling you shield st will automatically swivel towards your target so if you are getting shot ny plasma weapons, you can angle your shield towards them to protect yourself, but still be able to hit them.

- Aim for soft parts of robots, not physical shields of Lance, Gareth, Galahad, Rhino, Raijin. This may involve aiming and simply waiting for them to turn their attentions exposing soft bits
- Be patient, use good aim, and use the double target lock feature more often than not
- If aiming is difficult to keep steady, lower the screen toggle sensitivity. This makes it easier to stay on target.
- Hunt the more devastating MR-LR threats to your team brawlers
- While hunting, also take shots at others engaging or approaching your team brawlers to weaken them and make the kill easier for your teammates.

If you know how to use Zeus, you know how to use Shocktrains. Except for the "find a target in a group" part of course.

Thanks for all your advice on the Shocktrain even you Estoplast! Like they say everybody complains about the ST until they have one I know I did and I still do I complain about Pixo all the time, I have fallen for their trap & spend money, lots of it! I keep telling myself no more yet I keep doing it! they got some kind a hold on me like they probably have on you! Darkknight on your number three that you gave me could you elaborate I don't know if you have missed spelled some words or what but I couldn't understand what you're saying "hike player hides away"? And I thought the ST had a range of only 500?

Ty brijo1 I have the same problem I won 2 in the event and don't have 3rd yet. You really need 3 shocks to do the damage we want. I use Tulumbas it as the same range and unloads fast. |

And I thought the ST had a range of only 500? brijo1 Yup because of autocorrect I misspelled it...what I meant was always keep a lock with any target less than 600m ( in game lock ). So when you get out of hiding you would have to only shift the lock to the target you wan to attack and just fire it. If you don’t use the in game lock then you have to wait for the shocktrains to get a lock on the target ( 3 sec if I am not wrong) and mostly if person finds out that you are targeting him he will hide. Also ST range is 500m but you can lock your Shocktrain on a target if he is under 600m . |

Really really pisses me off when it switches targeting the microsecond before I fire and fires the shot into a shield or rock. Yes I know use the target lock, I often don't think of it or it just doesn't work. I was about to fire at a Carnage (soft target) and the micro second as I fired it switched target lock on me. No-one moved but it just decided no you can't kill that Carnage just fire into a steel plate instead. It doesn't seem to happen as much with other weapons and I only got the shocktrains in the Christmas event so still not very good with them.

I don't think spectre will be nearly as strong as people think, it has slightly more health than a cossack! Against an ST bulg with shield it will struggle not to mention the heachi is short enough to still ork it in stealth. |

Shocktrain builds on bots with light or heavy slots is kicking my 「bum-bum」. I have tried spirals and pins in light slots. Spirals work because they fire all at once and give you an additional 100m engagment range. They don't work because they reload so slowly and do almost no damage on ones and two's. Pins work because of same distance, reasonable reload symmetry, and good damage on physical shields vs shocktrains energy weapon status. They don't work because I tend to sray exposed for too long, the opposite of shocktrain best practice. Looking at trying gekko and aphid next. For heavy, ancile (keep that shocktrain alive!) and Zeus seem like no brainers, though Thunder with it's ability to provide anti-rush firepower is a maybe. Anyone try shocktrains outside of medium only builds?

He's saying he is having trouble finding light and heavy weapons to match with his shocktrains. Maybe leave condescending comments to people with comprehension skills. |

I have same problem won all 3 in event. Weapons you want to fire and get back to cover. So I'd try:
1.Scourge as plasma, similar range and does not need to aim at target but negative is takes a long time to unload
2. Thumblas as unload reasonably quickly but works better against shield bot unlike Shocktrains
3. Hydra no line of site needed so can use to draw enemies or while waiting for Shocktrains but does little damage
I think you need them lv 12 if not Mk2 12 if you only have 2 otherwise maybe not worth it. You could try them on a Rog and use Orkans or tarans on the Bulg.

**update** I was recently running my lone shocktrain on a Gareth and experimenting with various light weapons to see what worked best with the shocktrain. My final finding was the Aphid. Fire and forget and the reload times sinc well. Range is to short to be ideal, but if your Shocktrain bot gets to close, the hard hitting aphid is nice. Gekko and Pin synced well for reload times and range, but forced you to remain exposed to use, and once the Reds know you have a shocktrain, you are the priority target. If Pixonic ever gets smart and increases the shocktrain reload time, then the spiral will be the better match.

Thx! As of today I have the 3 on a Bulga and Pixonic has already pretty much nerf the hell out of it just like I thought they would but of course they try and play it off and say there's "technical difficulties with the Shocktrain and we don't know when it will be fixed" yea right! This is all by design to fool people on to the excitement train to spend sh*t Loads of money on it....which I Fell for of coarse! My shocktrains are all Level 12 and one is 12 MK2.

First, put them on your bot. Next, join a game. Then, point at the enemy. Lastly, click.
It's really not more complicated than that.

I had good success with 2 shocktrains and 2 gekkos on a griffin.. Until I got a third shocktrain and put them on bulgasari.

Put them on a Rog. I have 3 ST's, but play too aggressively to use them on a Bulg. The Rog gives me a chance to annoy reds and run awaaayyyy.

I have lock on target already checked marked but do I have to do that in game as well it doesn't seem to do the damage I thought it would also I read what the weapon does in game description something about waiting three seconds I'm just not understanding can something to help. Ty brijo1 Are you seriously asking for advice on how to use the cheattrains? It's a the number 1 weapon in the game right now for the least amount of skill required to use! |

From my experience, face pointy end towards enemy. Fire when fully charged. In two's they are very effective mounted on a rog. Lock jump shoot land recharge. Get the third before mounting on a bulg. Wait til the last moment to shoot to minimize return fire. In twos they are best used as support or mopping up damaged and light bots. Less fire towards you and your team mates IS less damage collectively taken.

If you want the most damage, it's more than point and shoot. As I've said in other posts, this of this weapon should be played like a game of pool or billiards. Plan your shot and how you can make the most of it. Don't use this as a point and shoot for a 1:1 battle. Look for an opportunity to hit multiple Reds at once. If there are shield bots around, shoot at a target behind them so the after shock will hit the shielded bot from behind.

Look for weak bots with another bot near it. Lets say you see a lance spawn, with a Fury with little health near it, you may decide that that lance will take no damage so you will seek another target.
SHOOT THE LANCE, the next jump of the ST will hit the fury and kill him. I see double and triple kills with ST all the time by shooting shield bots that are near weakened bots and rest assured it is not a waste of a shot.
Also, you will take damage points off the lance shield which will help you and your team.

If you only have 2 Shocktrains, then put them on a Rogatka if you have one. It's a ton of fun, and the Rog can stay at 500m better than the Bulg can. Plus, the jump also allows you to get the upper angles that you just can't with the Bulg. Of course, once you get a 3rd Shocktrain, throw all 3 on a Bulg. The extra firepower is worth the loss of mobility and movement options. If you don't have a Rog, I would probably throw a high level Tulumbas on the outermost slot. This will help you to remember to stay at the 500m, give you some splash damage, and you can corner shoot.
