Is any one else getting annoyed with beacon rush. I'm in expert 2/3 with a 4 bot hanger between level 9/10. My problem is that Beacon Rush is now unplayable as every single game is crammed full of mk2 maxed 5 bot hangers of champion league players so I stand no chance.... now you might say...whats that got to do with beacon rush...well the top players and whales love beacon rush so they can just cluster(rude word) you. Every game goes the same.....wait until the enemy comes near a beacon then spawn 5 lancilot on it and smash them....then repeat said process for the whole game....half the time I can't see what's going on as my screen is lit up like the 4th July with tarans and Orkans from lancilots.
It also seems really strange that anytime I try to sneak a beacon like on the side in dead city when the enemy are over the other side fighting my team, the second I just get to the beacon...1,2 or 3 lancilot drop right on me and annihilate me.
Does anyone else share this problem...if so what remedies are there. I much prefer domination but the "random" game option gives me beacon rush at least 8 out of 10 times.

Does anyone else share this problem...if so what remedies are there. I much prefer domination but the "random" game option gives me beacon rush at least 8 out of 10 times. sorry to hear that :/ I think the best tactics is not approaching any red beacon alone. approach it in two or three. and if you are a weaker bot than teammates, stay a bit away than your teammates. if the red started chain-respawning and your team can shoot at them at a distance, that would be a good recipe for meching out reds quickly. another is to cap a red beacon when you know your teammates are approaching at another beacon. the red will have to decide which one to defend, and your team will get at least one of them if this tactics work. otherwise, don’t try too much to cap beacons and rather do your best to survive while killing reds or helping teammates kill reds. beacon disadvantage can be reversed once you have a superiority in numbers of live pilots. if your gears are inferior, provide support to your teammates. remove Anciles for rocket shooters, follow a shielded teammates and provide additional power, etc. going places alone is not a good idea. play mid-range support role may also increase your survivability and also damage. one of the worst things to do in a BR game is to mech out early. getting the fifth hanger will surely help. EDIT: if you are in the US, I suggest not to play after 11pm (central time). Mk2 monsters tend to come out more often late night, |

Situational awareness is important in BR. Don't go over the beacon to turn it. Instead, try to stay far enough around the perimeters. Reds can drop anywhere around the beacon, so never have your back towards the field, and keep moving. It's better to leave a beacon unturned if outgunned. Also, try not to be a solo player. I'll agree that domination feels more playable.

Thanks guys. I totally agree it's better to play as a team...sadly I'm not In a clan and I tend to get paired with human grapefruits who don't understand what needs to be done so I tend to help where I can but still go for the win solo if need be. I will certainly try out these tips and maybe tweak my hanger. I currently run a triple Zeus fury LVL 9, a triple Orkan Haechi LVL 10 ( lucky to win this a while back on 1 chest. Bot is level 8) an RDB griffin and tend to play about with my 4th slot..alternating between level 10 carnage thunder, lancilot with tarans/thunder, tempest fury or punisher griffin

A 5th slot will surely increase your chances in the battle. I play solo most of the time, and dumb players are truly a royal PITA. I've seen players go all out in the BR as if it were TDM. I've seen cossacks goofing around in TDM (probably tankers). When this happens, and defeat is certain, I try so salvage whatever I can, while cussing all along. |

Drives me crazy when a Blue finishes off a red before we're in position to flip the beacon...

Sounds like event madness. The player who spawns on top of you gets a kill and a beacon. Thats what many are shooting for atm, its gonna get more relaxed after the event.
Free skilless kills like that become boring after a while.
Also, currently chances are good that the player trying to turn the beacon is on a beacon task and therefore in a capper bot/easy prey. Thats going to be different after the event too. Now, as soon as a beacon starts changing ppl yust spawn there and mostly have success. After the event, they could very well just have wasted a bot.
Another week, then you will find your spot again.

I think people must tank a bot just so they can spawn and stop me. My hanger has taken about 5 months as if only spent about £50-75...that was when spending got you something decent...the rest has been grinding.
Seriously need in game chat to coordinate team play as beacon rush is 90% teamwork and strategy.

Why is it when I drop, I'm facing away from the reds... and they always drop facing me?

Something else is that if I'm in a griffin and try to jump away there seems to be a delay only when someone is shooting at me so my bot dies before escaping |
