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

Yeah, we know about this one and I hope we can share an update soon.

Well, just going based on personally witnessed repeated past behavior, lol…

Fair enough, good to know it’s not intended. Thanks.

Called it :roll_eyes:

Edit: good to know it’ll be fixed at some point.

Yeah I’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 you’re supposed to replace reflect shredder with uncle clay and get another player to join as clayton with the same :laughing:

Lol, yeah I don’t particpate in any glitches. I know most of the community loves them. I find them boring for the most part.

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, it’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 he’s holding a heavy because the game mistakenly registers it as heavy damage? Haha, j/k it’s more a bug than a glitch. Not your fault it’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 wouldn’t normally do to take advantage of a coding error. I suppose just holding a heavy wouldn’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 I’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. I’m hoping to do more tutorials along with gameplay. Hopefully it makes a difference in the community.

I’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 I’ll wait a little until enough enemies come, especially when DR-1’s are added. But it primarily depends on the other teammates and their level of patiences, and knowing the situational awareness of what’s going on.

Wow so someone else Solo’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, it’s only good in the mulcher scions’ hands, in terms of escape. Salvo is so powerful regardless of who’s holding it.

Are you trying to solo it?

I’ve Solo’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. Wouldn’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.

Do you also know about the Snatcher/Carrier death bug that freezes players in place if they were close to them when they’re in the death animation and can’t do anything. Me and plenty of other people have reported this since around when the game released and it still hasn’t been fixed

It seems fine to me when others use it. Maybe it has to be at close range and/or mounted on cover.

I could be missing something or simply not be good with it. I have more success with salvo. When I had mulcher mastery at level 5, it didn’t take down guardian or sentinel on gatekeepers. But 20-35 salvo shots depending on context took them down typically.
