I was watching a War Robots video earlier today and the host was showing off some other tech and then said something like ... "...and you can try this out yourself on the test server." Hmm?! <~~ that'd be me Is there some place to go try stuff out on one of the maps... sans people shooting at ya!? My immediate thought is to go practice jumps with my Raven. Oh and... how does one get to the test server? That'd be the most important question! Thanks! I've never been to this magical test server land, but it will have peopel shooting at you. I think what you want is a "custom match" which I think is only an option when you are in a clan. Click on the shield, then click "Creat Custom Game" You don't have to invite anyone, just hit that big red "Fight" button and go test your equipment. You'll have the random map to yourself. in fact you can pick the map a d game mode if you click the thing at the top that says random map and random mode.

the shotgun build sounds great but another thing you shpuld try is scourge spark, he can jump about 600m if I remember correctly (or maybe something along those lines) so all you do is lock onto someone, start shooting and jumping, by the time you land you will be dealing your full dmg (normal dmg plus the 20%) so it sounds insane. when i Run my Raven with the Taser load out the lock almost always Jumps to a Different Target and was so Annoying i Dumped it. right now i run it with the (2)Ork/Dragon Blaze/Halo with Pilot geared toward all Dmg. mostly i work toward try'n to get better at doing Jump and Dumps inside Ares Orgies and taking out as many as i can before trying to jump back-out. my success rate is only Like 10-15%(Basically just getting lucking) as i'am trying to work at timing and getting a 3rd jump would work wonders if i could get it. one thing i want to try is a all Trident Falcon and jump into a Ares Orgies and see the amount of Dmg i can do with the Splash Dmg. do you use the manual target lock mechanic? The button should appear below the big red fire all button, that makes it so whatever person you are targeting gets fully locked onto and so the lock doesn't switch or remove unless A, they go into stealth. B, they die. C you look too far to one side. And D you hit the button again

And D you hit the button again i always use manual lock since i started playing over 2 years ago, but it still jumps lock when i close or when i purposly get myself surrounded so i can brawl with the Taser load out. which is why i went with Ork/blaze/halo since i does not require the lock to be effective at such close range.

Thanks! custom matches with a Clan if your in one would be best. as someone typed test server you still get shot at. Custom matches is also a good place to get yourself familiar with Maps and workout Timing of a Bots ability, like how to get to cover when stealth is running or when using speed abilities also.

I've almost completely abandoned lock-on weapons. The only system I have that locks is the pair of Aphids on a Griffin that I use in maybe 5% of games.

I've almost completely abandoned lock-on weapons. The only system I have that locks is the pair of Aphids on a Griffin that I use in maybe 5% of games. Still trying to get used to the scourge/spark setup. Cons for me: -I prefer weapons you have to continuously aim (bullets, shotguns, rockets, plasma) -Spark/scourge will shift targets rapidly, especially if you are in mid-jump -The long wait for target lock, even with Guidance Op skill. -DPS from range is weak, Raven is weak up close as a brawler - not the best combination In spite of this, I'll stick with it. I need the range in my hangar and it is somewhat effective for map control and ambush kills. I look forward to leveling them.

Thanks y'all re: the custom match feature. I'd no idea! I played around with the Raven and the Hover. DAMN... if given half a chance ... aka not getting shot at ... the Hover can get up on some pretty tall buildings in Shenzhen! Thanks too for the suggestion re: losing the weapons that require locking on! That's a great idea but it's going to be hard to wean myself off vortex, aphids and the like. It's just SO fun being able to whack someone from a distance and from around a corner. Soooo much fun...
EDIT. Oh! When you go to CUSTOM MATCH... you're given a second hanger with PIX's newest bots to play with. It's a neat feature as well as being marketing... marketing... marketing!

Whoo.i made the switch to shotguns. Lv12 gusts w lv 7 Coronas ( ha ha). I was gonna wait a bit longer for the Coronas to upgrade but got antsy and ran it a few times to test it. Baby it’s the ticket. My little bird is about to be nasty.
I made a double jump into two ares that popped their shields at the same time, I locked them and took ‘em both out. Then I triggered the last stand of one that respawned. Really I couldn't ask for much more. I love this thing!! .... Caw Caw.....

Shotguns NEVER suck, Ive been upgrading my shotguns for months! I have a ton of leveled up shotties but still no Corona because I committed to OE Storms months ago when they were a much better value. Raven; get good with it, then get great with it, then.........BECOME THE RAVEN!! Cawwwwwwww

I run my Falcon w exodus on the fangs. I love to jump, so I couldn't bring myself to run only one weapon. That bot also catches people off guard in champs, as most run traditionalist. I have no range leveled in my hanger but I've seen a few folks use tridents with some success. Predator just released this video running it as one should ( smiles)

Update.. My average damage has broken 1.1 mil for the first time with this little sucker in my hanger ( keep in mind I don't run either of the two ares I own). I cant believe how effective it is at taking out troublesome or flanking reds, watch an Ao Jun slide to land then time the jump to get in close like and shotgun them into oblivion, or pounce and take out a lone ares after their princes power runs out.
Its everything I hoped it would be. And with the damage and health boost coming almost no one will be safe. " Caw.. Caw.. " " Ohh craaap Hide!" "What? There is no place to hide! "

That's exactly how I run mine, with RDB and trying to keep extending away from the reds. When you can fire a barrage on an Ares walking away at 400m while you're mid-jump into a different beacon, you get the giggles.

Its here!! Raven ?Durability 168k ? 178k ?Movement speed 47 kmph ? 50 kmph ?NEW EFFECT: Raven gets +20% damage for 8 seconds after activating the ability. Secondary jump refreshes the effect
Pilot armor skill add 15% and puts it at 204.7 .. nice . add a booster and your at 225.17 mk1 lv 12.. take it to mk2 and your walking around at 270. craaaap.

Ooh. I was just thinking of the jump damage boost which is cool. Love the extra speed too. Have re-evaluate pilot skills, always counted the Raven as damage focus.

I'm really liking the new Raven buffs. The 20% damage increase when jumping is very noticeable. The extra durability and speed are also nice. I don't say this often, but well done Pix.

I'm in Masters and still run the good old Russian Death Button build.
Level 10 Standard
Level 4 and 1 Nuclear Reactors
Two level 10 Tulumbas' and Pins.
Master Gunsmith - 2.5% Damage Boost
Road Hog - 10% Speed Boost
Pin Gunsmith - 1.75% Damage Boost. (Work in progress)
Plays pretty well if you keep your distance, and the 20% damage boost when jumping is oh so tasty. I AM THE 500 METER MENACE! HEAR ME CAW!
And i'm sure those who run the regular Death Button are having a blast as well, despite the nerfs to Orkan.

With the Raven I'd (once again) consider Shredder and Pulsar. Use the jumps to get odd angles in and lock reds down. The range will keep you from getting into too much trouble.

Caw , Caw Yeah man, as we have discussed privately and just to publicly support, if you have a lot of fun in it and it performs better with greater durability and it performs magic even in the Champ League youre in, go for it and dont let anyone tell you otherwise. Skills and mods and buffs = many new possibilities, such as Phase Shift to protect a leap should you start taking massive incoming fire - better than a susceptible stealth jumper! Haks will add durability, and Battle Borne reduces power of incoming damage, so the latter makes you similar to an Ao Guang or Falcon for a decent amount of time when you first take hits. Fully support your endeavor ??

So ... one obvious downside to the 20% buff when jumping is that now one has to jump at the most inopportune moments in order to enjoy that 20% buff! This of course exposes ones tail feathers to all sorts of potential nastiness! Just had a killer game with King Kaw (TM) lol but more than once, while out in the open at a beacon, I had to jump straight up in order to get max damage. Very scary moments!

The Raven girl seem to be digging the new buffs. Her raven tulumba play and beacon awareness are freaky strong. You can surely tell the amount of time she has spent trying moves out, calculating jump distance and angles etc.
