CARNAGE Awsomesaucenessssssssss!

Found that staying in a group...behind a rhino, leo for initial barage helps. then Rush around to stagger double tap with ecc.

SUCKKKY ThiNG THAT THE PLASMA EATS through shields ilke butter.
Best defence is a good Defensive close corner and a fresh dash.

i like that it causes fear when enemies see the blue shield on a camped beacon.  gives  EXTRA TIME TO CAMP/defend I FIND

Can The Carnage hold up in high Gold. If not when should we stop leveling it?

I've had a Carnage for month and kept dying, only recently started having success and yes, it's one of my favorites now.


I've seen this but how do you do it? Are you saying you press one thunder followed by the other a half second later? But then you have to hold both fingers down and somehow pan direction, sounds clumsy, or do you use a gamepad?

Oh, I see, you press a thunder then hold the red button and they continuously alternate. Very cool. Thanks for the hint.

Is there any advantage in actually causing more damage this way or is it just the psychological aspect of relentless fire?

Carnage is effective paired with two of almost any heavy weapon.

2x Thunder, ambush knifer. Nothing quite matches the Carnage's combination of speed and point-blank ability to demolish in this format...it's like hitting someone repeatedly in the face with a chair.

2x Trident, mobile anti-armor support unit. If it has physical shields, for example if the name of the target begins with "G" and ends with "alahad", this is the long stick you want to poke it with from a safe distance.

2x Trebuchet, mobile anti-midrange unit. If, while poking a Galahad with your pair of long, Tridenty sticks, you discover that a Fury is targeting you with THREE long, Tridenty sticks, and you die...this is the long, yellow-glowy-stick-thingy you will want for poking back. And believe me, this will hurt him much more than it hurts you.

2x Kwk, mobile bombardment sniper. If you like keeping big enemy bots pinned down from afar, or blasting smaller targets at middle ranges, and just generally spreading as much pain and suffering as possible while receiving in return the bare minimum yourself, the Kwk Carnage deals more DPM than the Treb. And has more range than Trident.

2x Zeus, mobile soft-target destroyer. Nobody likes getting struck by lightning. Especially not once every five seconds. By two bolts of lightning. Stalkers and Gepard are rapidly toasted by this setup, and Griffin is also highly edible. Shields are problematic, but that's what teammates are for. To protect you while you protect them, or to serve as target practice for the enemy team while you hide in a hole.

Against shield bots, wait for them to be occupied with facing your teammates and turn their shields away from you. Then use the opportunity to remind them exactly why they kept that shield pointing your way.

2x Zenit, because laughter is the best medicine. And because the only thing more pathetic than this is a 2x Ancile Carnage.

Speaking of which...

2x Ancile, because clearly you have far more money than brains. Or you're a troll. Or both.

2x Kang...meh. Until Kang is buffed, there's no reason to run Kang over Kwk on a Carnage. Carnage makes its living by shooting everything. And then shooting everything some more. And then...

Carnage is wasted using Kang. It simply doesn't fire often enough to make use of the Carnage's key strength: mobility. Carnage isn't useful because it has two heavy hard points - Natasha also has two heavy hard points. So does Raijin. Carnage is great because it's able to run like a light bot and punch like a heavy. But it needs to actually run.

Staggered fire prevents shield regen on other ancile bots, and at close range, the alternating fire will allow an extra reload fire for the first Thunder. It also compensates for serverside damage lag, sometimes it takes a moment for a kill to register when the opposing bot reaches 0, their projectiles still hit you until you see the bot 'pop' staggering, constant damage seems to cut that delay altogether.

Don't be surprised if you have a rude awakening when you hit level 30 and the mm moves you into low gold regardless of bot or weapon level. If the rest of your hangar is silver you might need to put the carnage in storage for awhile until everything else catches up.

5x thunder carnage=fun on close maps and dead on almost everything else

youll find Treb carnage to be too weak, and Kwk carnage to be only useful against furies, however upgrading them isn't a bad idea, as you can use both on a fury.

Probably because it's 65k WSP lol

I just purchased a Carnage myself 2 days ago.  The Carnage will be level 7 in about 20 hours.  The rest of my hanger is level 6 hvys with 7-8 weps.  I am firmly in low gold I believe.  I am running it w 2 lvl 7 Thunders, it definitely is upping my ave. damage  number.  It is still very squishy at level 6.  Hopefull w speed & armor / shield increase it will be noticeable.

Defintely fun playing - I am at 13000 ws points now, so will will be getting 2x tridents for mid range in a few days!

One thing I really like about the game is the diversity of bots and weps to fit different styles of play.  I also run a Galahad and 3 Griffs - I sub my Rhino in and out with the griffs.  I like to have variety!  I wish we could open a 6th slot or have an option to swap a bot or 2 before game starts.

IMO, the Carnage is only good with dual Thunders and only good in TT. I have 2 of them in TT and I've tried every setup on them except Anciles and Trebs. All other weapons other than Thunders just don't cause enough damage to actually hurt a red bot or cause them to slow down, so you aren't really doing much for your team. Additionally, if you use anything other than Thunders, there's another bot that can do it better.

I've found that whether it be solo or squadin in TT, the only way to play a Carnage is with Thunders and in the close support role. The Rush goes for a good 200+m easy and that means you can shadow blue heavies at from pretty far away before you start your run to join the fight unexpected. If you strategically place yourself behind cover and close enough to blue bots, you can be there blues that "look" like there are solo because you are over 200m away --- then bang, you Rushing in to fiorm a 2-vs-1. This is the way to play the Carnage.

Of course if the Protolot gets here, the Carnage will be transformed completely --- something I've been waiting for months.

Alpha,welcome back,just noticed your a cossack.BTW trident/zues carnage is way better than a conventional trident/pin leo/natasha.I would rank mid range carnage the same or higher compared to an RDB griffin.plus the tridents can be leveled higher than using heavies as a platform.plus again,the tridents can be used for a future fury.

trident carnage isn't quite as good as the RDB griffin, but it's definitely quality.

heavy bot does less damage than the fury and lacks mobility. The medium has better DPS than the RDB Griffin, and is faster, so It will probably outperform the RDB Griffin, which outperforms the trident carnage already.
