Does TC REALLY thing we won't notice these nerfs? Is that why they never say anything about them? Clayton's ultimate

Yeah, but that only works against enemies which donā€™t insta down you, and it assumes the ultimate will activate in time, and not just result in your lancer reloading (that last one is a classic-Alt issue, where the ultimate activate is RB-LB).

I took the bleed off of my Clayton load, since itā€™s uselessā€¦ It works well against stumps, but thatā€™s ITā€¦ the little guys, who cares, the really dangerous things, they donā€™t shoot at youā€¦ So whatā€™s the pointā€¦

it still works as protection, sure, but the bleed aspect of it is largely useless now. And thatā€™s a Gold card, lolā€¦

Thanks, TCā€¦

Contrary to the narrative of this thread, this is a bug, not an intentional change. I will take a look and see if we can get a fix for it soon. Thanks.

Thanks for that.

Also while youā€™re here (apologies for just pouncing on you like this), could you confirm if you and your colleaguea are aware of the duplicate Clayton exploit please? I and some other players have already submitted a ticket via the official site, but figure that as youā€™re here then to let you know if you donā€™t already.

Well, just going based on personally witnessed repeated past behavior, lolā€¦

Fair enough, good to know itā€™s not intended. Thanks.

Called it :roll_eyes:

Edit: good to know itā€™ll be fixed at some point.

Yeah Iā€™ve noticed that as well in my runs on the split. I figured other people were dealing with the same BS. On gatekeepers I ended up resorting to salvo since I knew my ultimate would be useless.

I think youā€™re supposed to replace reflect shredder with uncle clay and get another player to join as clayton with the same :laughing:

Lol, yeah I donā€™t particpate in any glitches. I know most of the community loves them. I find them boring for the most part.

#27

Resorting to salvo since you know that your ultimate would be useless is a form of participating in a glitch. Which was why I tossed out an antithetical glitch since in theory a harmful glitch + a helpful glitch should negate each other and result in no glitch at all :laughing:

No assertions though, itā€™s just sad that the same guy has good and bad glitches so that everone who loves Clayton loses.

Oh really? How about the one that lets Clay get healing from latent reflect shredder bleed damage as heā€™s holding a heavy because the game mistakenly registers it as heavy damage? Haha, j/k itā€™s more a bug than a glitch. Not your fault itā€™s coded that way. The difference between a bug and a glitch, I believe, is doing something strange and out of the way and that you wouldnā€™t normally do to take advantage of a coding error. I suppose just holding a heavy wouldnā€™t qualify. Anyway, was bored last night and searched Escape solo Gatekeepers vids and came across your Clay run. Especially nice job on the explanation vid. Explanation vids like this are more what Iā€™m looking for when I search up escape guides. Whoever is making an escape guide next please take note of how this man does an explanation because this is the most helpful way to do a guide, IMO. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN-VPfKCmIc

You know what I mean.lol. But yeah, I mentioned the salvo thing in my video. Iā€™m hoping to do more tutorials along with gameplay. Hopefully it makes a difference in the community.

Iā€™m glad you like the explanation video, I like putting more detail in it by having starts and stops.

I remember when we were playing, I believe that happened to me a few times. I only force those actions when I knew venom was approaching to fast, other than that Iā€™ll wait a little until enough enemies come, especially when DR-1ā€™s are added. But it primarily depends on the other teammates and their level of patiences, and knowing the situational awareness of whatā€™s going on.

Wow so someone else Soloā€™d it with Clay Too!

Some of his strats were better mine like the snatcher and swarmak! but salvo is the way to go after seeing how much I struggled with the mulcher on the LZ

Mulcher is simply to weak of a heavy weapon, itā€™s only good in the mulcher scionsā€™ hands, in terms of escape. Salvo is so powerful regardless of whoā€™s holding it.

Are you trying to solo it?

Iā€™ve Soloā€™d it Before, mulcher and all

Oh on master? Nice!

The Mulcher is a fine weapon with Mulcher Mastery. Although certainly better in Horde, it still has its uses in Escape from time to time. Wouldnā€™t recommend it outside of The Split or hives with weapon lockers though.

I forget when but I tried it on the gatekeepers and I only could kill juvies and deadeyes. Mainly juvies because anything else required too much ammo.
