I'd like to put in my two cents, even though I'm relatively new to this game. I always ALWAYS start with a Cossack because I think capping beacons first are important. And I know all too well the frustration of MagGeps. Lastly I never leave a battle even if I know it's unwinable. If I'm in my Cossack Taran and see a MagGep on my tail I know I'm not going to last long. I just try to jump/hide while damaging the enemy as much as I can before I auto-eject. Then I get in my own MagGep and hunt that guy down.  But once I open fire everyone hears my Magnums and suddenly I'm a magnet for every ordinance there is. Same thing happens if I'm in a different bot and hear/see a MagGep, I will drop everything and focus on destroying that bot. So I think it just balances itself out.  |

Some fights are simply unwinnable, if you have 4+ co-ordinated clan members working against a rag tag mix of randoms then it's unlikely a single person can change the outcome. Unfortunately there also clans which you will recognise as being notorious Gep clans of either Aphids/Mags but you can use that to your advantage.
When I head in with my first bot I try and read the names of players and see if I can recognise any Gep hangers, then if any allies are engaged I'll do my best to add my concentrated fire to the mix. Few players have the ability to survive 2v1 situations, those odds get even smaller the more allies help. In 1v1 situations I know I can take out at least one advanced Gep clubber but when encountering baby Geps clubbers I've been able to kill 3 or 4 with a single bot. So even in situations where my team is not helpful I can at least stomp out enough Geps to make winning the match a possibility even if I run out of bots.
Find the Gepards and make their life miserable, if you see an ally under attack help them counter attack while the Gep is distracted.

Everyone just needs to admit that Pix *wants* players to club with Mag Geps. There is no other reason, especially after they slowed down the low level Cossack and Schutz. Their whole plan is to move free players out of Bronze as fast as possible into Silver tier to get you to spend money.

Boa Tarans is the best gepard counter. Orkans > Tarans as anti-Gep weapons. The burst damage is much higher and wipes them out before they can do as much damage. |

Boa Tarans is the best gepard counter. Orkans > Tarans as anti-Gep weapons. The burst damage is much higher and wipes them out before they can do as much damage. Quoted for truth... However, Taran is a good option if: A.) You don't have an Ork yet or B.) you have higher than average lag, as it makes aiming the Ork very difficult when you shoot at someone and they suddenly appear 50m away from your aim point C.) If you just haven't gotten your skillset with unguided rockets up to par. Geps are fast and can take a good bit of leading and anticipation of the enemy's moves. (However, this point is negated simply by using it more and practicing, so is last in the list since it can be corrected.) Taran has enough firepower to be close to the Ork in effectiveness, as well as being a bit more forgiving if you are not quite good enough to put rockets where your enemy is going to be. But, again, the Ork is going to do more damage if you can connect. |

Okey doke, I'll just try to avoid throwing myself into the chaos and seeing how that goes. It seems no matter where I go, though, I'm a MagGep magnet. I'll try to just stay out of the way and cap the unguarded beacons lol Youre a trimag gep magnet because you the only one who can cap beacons faster than him. I hunt down Cossacks and other Gepards for that exact reason. To gain Dominance for my team. |

When I played lower tiers I used tarans and orkans. Yes, they can be effective against a gepard but it depends on (a) the gep pilots ability (b) whether you can catch him unawares...
Boa thunder/taran and golem thunder/mag/taran can usually take 1-2 down. Patton with molots are good as well (so are pinatas or pins).
These can be effective against 1-2 geps but if the reds have a hangar full then, personally, I'd ignore beacons and try to get as much damage for silver. It's that or quit mid game which is something I don't like to do.

I've been having pretty good luck starting all matches except power plant in my mid range golem. I can usually pick off the first Gepard or 2 before they can get to center beacon. This usually makes me public enemy #1 and they start coming for me. Then I'm straight into my thunder Taran Boa with which I can get a couple more. If your lucky, they will be getting low on Gepards and then I usually go for the aphid Patton to take out the stragglers.
If there's no more than 2 clubbers you've got a decent chance as you might mech them out. More than that, I'd say save the frustration and quit the match. That at least denies them the damage they would get from killing you. I get really frustrated by unreasonable matches and I just don't need the stress anymore.

I get really frustrated by unreasonable matches and I just don't need the stress anymore. 2 half decent clubbers should be enough to kill you. If they use their brains they will coordinate and attempt to both shoot you at the same time. This can be partially nullified by using hard cover and only allowing one of them to have LINE-of-sight, however the gepard is so fast that it doesn't often work for very long. |

Yesterday, I managed to kill a MagGep, without getting shot. Yamantau, with my Trident/Tulumbas/Pin-Golem.
It was most satisfying, and I grinned like crazy, after he went boom.

Nice job there Zenotaph. The safest way to deal with em' is always mid-range splash, but that's if they don't see you. XD Clubbing Geps are usually lv2 to go 2/12 low silver, so hit them hard with some rockets can get the job done.

The problem with your idea is that noobs buy gepards as well. There's a deal when you're a noob where you can buy a gep, 1000+ gold and 3 million+ silver for 5 dollars. By making geps easy kills, you are damaging the noobs who buy pixo's deal. Hello there! Noob here, started playing about a week ago, and can confirm. Gepard with triple Pinata setup. And it has me absolutely riveted to the game. Loved it so much I ended up ponying up a few bucks to buy a second one, and now coming here I can see a trajectory of becoming that which seems most loathed. Glad I'm reading ahead! But concur that messing with a cash purchase could be a downer for some. |

my favorite thing to do with a maggep is shoot it slowly with a big bot until it runs or loses it's weapons then walk off and leave it. i love watch those pilots have to self destruct to get another bot. although.. it's getting more popular for maggep pilots to bail when they get down to about 10-20% of health and just come back with their next. it's not a big deal when they have a hangar full of them. that must be a boring life.

that must be a boring life. So true. There was a game I was in recently. It must have been a bunch of enemies (not same clan, not a platoon, basically all randoms) who had encountered [?R] and their ilk before, as they ran into the game at first, then after the first two got obliterated, all but one left the game. The frustration of dealing with MagGeps and AphGeps on the other team is bad enough. But it's nothing compared to the absolutely boring game offered when you're in a team that's full of them. I didn't even get a shot in. I didn't particularly want to. Went for two beacon caps for the daily goals and then just sat there shaking my head. I know there was a recent thread asking for some love for MagGeps and the like and how they're just working within the parameters that the programmers have set them, farming gold and they're having fun. But short of channeling one's inner troll, I just can't see this being fun. Next time, I'm bailing out as well. This forum needs a copy of that Wall of Shame from the old forums (hopefully without the derailment).  |

You deal with them by sucking 'em in close and wacking 'em with a Thunder. Your 4/6 Boa-Golem-Vityaz has a health advantage. But they have a speed and range advantage. If they catch you in the open you are probably out of luck, if you can get 'em one on one, keep under cover and suck 'em in to under 200m or less then unleash your Thunder with Orkan or Taran or Pinatas. You are going to take 'em out. You will probably be heavily damaged but they will be scrap. Now you need to recap a beacon and pick on some of their weaker teammates before they charge back at you with their next one. Hopefully you have four other strong bots in your hanger, because you May have to do the same thing three or four more times. Stay calm and be smart. Gepards are not invincable. Just try to fight the battle on your terms.

Just try to fight the battle on your terms. This is true. I snuck up on a sniper who was looking the other way (he was at the red spawn point) with my Thunder Taran Boa (keep in mind it was just a 4/5), when he regenerated, he was in a MagGep. Roasted the living daylight out of him at pointblank. He had another one which I obliterated as well because he had the bad luck of spawning right where I was looking and he had his back on me. Then a second guy came at me with another MagGep who I killed as well. I got killed next by a Cossack with a Punisher because of extremely low health. We still lost because despite me taking out 3 MagGeps with one bot, but my teammates were idiots who were camping when 5 beacons were overrun by the enemy. I'm a relative noob in this game, but not to Android shooters. A real noob in a MagGep is pretty easy to spot. Just look for the ones who doesn't seem to have a concept of range. I once had a shootout with a MagGep standing at 480-500m with me using my Golem (KwM, Crv, Tulumbas). He was just standing shooting at me, so I just stood and shot him and waited for reload. He didn't even move, just kept on firing. |

The point is they are not invincible and if you understand the tactics used to defeat them it can be done. If an opponent has a hanger of strong bots, you need a hanger of strong bots to defeat them. A Boa and a Thunder is a lot less expensive than a Gepard with Magnums. If Mag-Geps really bother you buy 3-5 Thunder equiped mediums. |

I have 2 in storage. The best way to deal with a 3MG is another 3MG. Any good pilot can own anything you can fight in except for another. 3MG users are aware of thunders and pinatas so they like to stay at a 315-340m range. If you're fighting a good pilot you need to have one. They hate fighting other 3MGs bc it'll likely take 3/4 or more of their health.
Now if you don't want to go that route then get a thunder/taran boa or a shield bot. I honestly wouldn't fight one without a teammate unless you want to sacrafice your hanger and hope your teammates can get the win bc youll be out quickly. A quad spiral patton might work if you're not noticed.
