People who play Horde constantly, do you find Infiltrator annoying if they do most of the killing?

It is always annoying when there is one person getting all the kills, but I find it isn’t usually a problem as long as people focus their attention across different lanes.

Assault classes (and some tanks) are definitely going to have a tendency to kill everything. That is kinda the point of the class type. Support classes typically aren’t, and that isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as they focus on helping others.

All CQC classes have a high degree of risk due to the danger of being so close to enemies. It gets particularly difficult to stay alive on waves when the 2.0 and especially the 2.5 damage poisons activate late-game. Waves 41-50 are brutal. Not to mention if they go down, the overzealous enemies will INSTANTLY execute them (a bit too excessively punishing IMO). I think that Inflitrator is in a pretty good spot, considering it is an Assault.

Not much different than Demolitions blowing up the map, or Marksman rapid-fire nuke-sniping the entire map and wave from the safety of the base, all while using wall-hacks. I broke 500 kills as Marksman a couple times.

So yeah, I guess it is a way of saying it :slight_smile: but yeah the issue I have is not knowing if people on the game may be having fun lol or if they may be thinking “What an annoying Infiltrator that kills most stuff” lol :confused: personally when I was first playing, and using either Medic or then-not-so-broken Infiltrator, I didn’t mind if JD was getting most of the kills/dmg and it was cool as long as if was fun…

My thought and hope is usually that they must be thinking, ‘wow, this person is a bad-***!’ Especially with not-so-meta-classes.

#6

Lol yeah, it IS the point of being an assault after all I guess :slight_smile:
It just seems so awful :confused: getting most of the kills while others (for example right now Im with Living Legend, Gunner and Robotics Expert) almost get no kills…

Yeaaaah those final waves so annoying how fast you go down lol. Especially if you get robots as final enemies that can’t be killed with the B B long B combo and those Enforcers easily take you down, lol.

I see… Yeah I guess it ain’t that different :slight_smile:

#7

What a fantastically OP (in my opinion) the infiltrator class is. Literally unstoppable once you’ve got all the stim stuff added

#8

Nah it can still be killed. Especially by robots on the final waves as well as Scions now that the Gnasher / Overkill have a distanxe requirement for the Bleeding.

#9

Yeah course you can still die but my god you can take a beating and dish out some, failing that if you’ve perked up you can just super sprint away into the distance :rofl:

#10

I took off custom gnasher for the power pick up distance. One thing I hate is : people tryin to frigging race me to get the power. WE ALL GET THE SAME AMOUNT. REGARDLESS OF CLASS. I have stim! …thats why im not getting downed every 2 secs like you are. Also I can sorta occasionally venture out and revive if you are close. But if you pick up my gnasher/overkill ammo, try to rush in and take my power right in front of me, and kill steal…then get downed…I’m NOT reviving your sorry :peach:.

#11

In horde I try to live by one rule

If you get all the kills by pure coincidence then fine but if you are one of the old JD meta players then its a straight up kick. Majority of the time there will be defendable lanes and players defending but if you constantly move between lanes killing everything then we have a problem lol. I was on Forge recently and had a Tactition, formerly known as Keegan lol, constantly move from lane to lane bombing the hell out of everything that walked. Players got annoyed because they were left with little to fight and it made for a dull experience.

I only ask that players who want to kill everything do so in their own lobbies and not join other games to solo a map lol.

#12

I only care about winning, ribbons are nice for some extra xp, but that’s just a bonus.

The only class I found annoying in the horde regards was Marcus, with skip and endless headshots, that was just plain boring.

Infiltrators are good boss killers, so <3

#13

I’ve been kicked for outclassing other players as either Infiltrator, Blademaster or Marksman. Some people find it offensive to be…offensive, their loss I suppose.

#14

Do you use Healing Jolt? I can’t imagine any other reason to use Pickup Distance.

#15

What is the OP strategy?

I don’t get annoyed when an assaulter gets many kills but I do get annoyed when an assaulter gets too few kills.

If you have played like 4-5 matches then your cards may not be maxed. Just wait to see how much you can do when every card is at level 6. Keep it up.

#16

Can you tell us about this OP combination,?

#17

No my build is Laceration, Blood Resonance, Reaper, Enhanced Stim, and Stim Batteries.

I only use Pick up Distance when I play with randoms. It keeps dumb players from trying to steal kills so they can take power. Had a Blademaster the other day who wasnt satisfied with just getting kills on the other end of the map, they would rush over to me and literally kill the enemies right in front of me just to take the power. Other players would try to rush in and compete with me to pick up power which is mostly why I use it in random lobbies (not public but open custom lobbies). It’s an excellent troll. I only do it when I see them start trying to steal. Then I just slightly move towards it and they get the message pretty quick since they have to actually touch it and I dont.

#18

So… Thus far seems like people in the official forums (and I hope randoms on the game as well) don’t really mind if they are having their “fun” taken out. I can also confirm that a good Sniper /Fahz is constantly able to outscore me, which is nice :slight_smile:

I just hope I’m not kicked from matches lol. Thanks a lot to anyone who took their time to answer :slight_smile:

#19

I couldnt care less… The faster you kill them the faster the gsme goes…

Just dont expect me to go out to pick you up if you go down, you’re on ya own, buddy…

Exactly :joy::joy::joy:

#21

I don’t find it annoying in my opinion, I honestly wouldn’t mind having players in my team who is good at popping heads. (Marksman) or good as using shotguns (infiltratorr). It’s not like aimbot veteran (broken Marcus) role from old operations where you could blind fire to kill enemies to wipe out the entire wave, playing as infiltrator and marksman it takes skill.

#22

I guess this worked out lol. Just completed a Master Horde in Reclaimed. Don’t know exact time but it “only” gave 3 stars of Play time so it took less than 2 hours. Way better than the first days… I remember when the meta involved Jack and Forges and matches would last like 3 hours…
