Slippery Gary served me well up into Masters. He was the first bot I bought on my second account, which is now my main. When I parked him, I bought him that paint job out of appreciation.
Like Steel said, 'off to die', lol

When I got butthurt about the Ares I ran a legacy Ares hunter hangar to make a new game of hunting Ares since Ares ruined my war robots game at the time. The little Gary did good and ran after many back peddling Ares. Was it the Ares or was it the randomness of lockdown? 4 energy shotties from 500m locking down in one shot, ready for retribution is what had me throwing my phone .. and subsequently buying that bot. Tough era though, hiding a 'Burner or a Merc in the shield rotation was a bit much for a counter.

Gary was done when DASH meta took over I dont agree with that because I ran mine long after that.
I ran my gareth until the purple panty trains made all his fancy footwork and shield cycling moot.
Until Ares my garys speed and skill at strafing was an advantage against a majority of the bots until that point. Well for me anyway. I used to run him with maxed molots which still are really underestimated by so many. But in a fight at 500m or closer they can bring home the bacon while on the move sideways.
Then when they added mods and pilots gary and a lot of other bots got dookied on. But the extra features he can have make him even more interesting and capable in the hands of a smart player.
Ive seen some in champs that made me think what the hell is this guy doing here until realizing they are wrecking house more than it makes sense. Ive run my own maxed- pilot with 3 skills.... seeing some guys running them maxed with maxed pilots and skills with all the maxed bells and whistles? I have to admit feeling a little funny like i let myself down for not believing he was worth it. And Im not about to put him in the lineup and do it now...
So i have to live vicariously though those who are running glorious Gareths lol... no not done when dash meta came. no lol
No bot is ever done. There are some who will continue to run them no matter the current meta. However, the vast majority of mid- high champs moved on to dash. Hell, I ran bulg until leech era. I too miss running many bots including Gary, but I would hurt my/clan ratings. Thus I move on reluctantly. But I do remember my thunder/orkan Lance taking that beacon from Gary. LoL

Who got really good at running around backwards with the shield facing the direction of incoming Disco Gekko beams and Treb one shotters? I found it was Tri Furies were the Gary and G-Had killer. Those Tridents were nasty. Now by "run" do you mean You need a cut lunch when going into battle in a Natty.

Tough era though, hiding a 'Burner or a Merc in the shield rotation was a bit much for a counter. Mainly the Ares murder beams that could erase a bot in a 2 seconds from 500m. My bots moved at 35kph. You had to see it coming and could not be caught out in the open trying to move from cover to cover. Before nothing could move an HP bar that fast at that range but the Ares changed that. Later you can tell what they are based on how they position and PS allowed me just flip the bird to them as I walked back into cover without losing my whole bot in the process.

Miss walking up an Ancilot shooting the Ancile down along the way and when at 350m it hit me with Tarans like "is this what you wanted?" then I walked 50m more into Pinata range and said "yup". Panicked Ancilot reversing ensued.

AAAAAND I just got a triple kill with Gary on Abyss in Master 1 league! Dropped 2nd and worked angles to find vulnerable bots that I could lock down and finish. YAY

The issue back in Ares day was the OP Corona/Halo build, so LD followed by helplessly watching the inbuilts wipe my bot out.....can’t walk anywhere when rooted, which is why this rooting, along with Scorpion teletubby play, are the worst additions to this game, IMO.......

This was especially bad for me because I'm obtuse and run silver bots with silver weapons as my primary hangar and move at 35 to 38 kph meaning the time it took just to move from once peice of cover to the next was longer than the time it took for an Ares to erase my bots with just the built in weapons. I didn't even need to get locked down. I had to extend my awareness to things that can quickly kill me without time for counterplay from brawling range out to 500m thanks to Ares. I subbed in a Tulumbas Doc for a while to get a speed boost and to use the 20m splash radius and quick on its feet movement to splash Ares as they approached the edge of cover before activating the purple bubble and then I shot back into cover before they could get me. Good timing of the Ares shield made this tactic ineffective though. Also brought the Noricum Patton in to rain on stationary Ares. Later I just stopped playing the Ag hangar and took on the challenge of an all legacy bot Ares hunter hangar instead. I enjoy having hanagr builds like that where I have to find the best builds while operating under certain rules set forth by a hangar theme. I enjoy the thought process and running scenarios in my head and then the learning experience when playing. I had A LOT of fun hunting Ares in my EShottie Rhino or running around terrified in a Stalker deep in red territory chasing after some Ares.

Just played this match. Bottom Red played the hell out of his hanger including capturing the clinching beacon with one of his little guys that solidified the win for Red. My hat is off to him.

i was great at strafing (yes i kno i said it again but lets face it- gary was a one-mistake-only bot so i did alot of that lol) and found loads of shots just could not hit gary to save their lives. I laughed hard at trebs because they couldnt hit me for beans.
but tridents with a good pilot.....
hit once n get the dreaded legs broken sign. no more fleet afoot then lol

Before made Tridents worthless, my T Fury would get at least 3 kills every battle.....iirc, in its hay day, Tridents had like 40-50m splash.....way fun against fragile hiders! Really miss the cool old stuff......

My personal Gareth highlight of the week just happened 🤓 DC home beacon, a red Nighty hovering overhead while I position myself underneath him for his landing, he starts to drop and I catch his legs with the top of my shield and push him completely off the beac where he gets insta-scorped. Didn’t have to fire a shot
No bacon for you!
