Salvage vents strategy

[beer_engineer]

There's a vent on Salvage that Strogg Infiltrators can use to get direct access to the final objective (the salvage) and can be very useful for clearing and securing it.

You have to run in here and teleport into that vent in upper right.

You end up in this little room. Nobody else can get in this room AT ALL. You are completely 100% safe. The vent on the far side leads directly to the salvage (last objective).

This looks right down on the little room where GDF often setup MG and stuff for defense... (though you don't want to stand here, you could be shot).

Easy to blow guys up here, they will be looking the other direction...

Or you can pop down onto the salvage, blow up all the mines, and generally harass the enemy...

yep , i do this all the time in salvage ... its kinda usefull . this way agressors can plant plasma charges without worrying bout mines :)

map would be way more balanced if the vents could be accessed both ways by any class, not just infiltrator.

It's really stupid to have maps that have places only infiltrators can get to. The GDF can't do anything about the flyer drone spam. Yes you can kill the drone, but it's really annoying when they are in complete safety.

if infiltrators are doing nothing more than spamming one flyer drone, per player each 30 seconds to a place where the GDF spawn at bad-case scenario 30 seconds, than may i say, those infiltrators suck, not to mention ONE medic is enough to prevent all that spam, as flyer drones dont gib.

not to mention if u kill the drones , the infiltrator gets dmg too . so just kill a couple of drones and soon that infiltrator wont been anoying u.

Agreed, I think I've killed more infiltrators this way :cool:

[beer_engineer]

It's extremely effective believe me, especially if you don't know where they are coming from... but if you have someone with a shotgun or MG covering the vent you can kill most of the drones.

The smart infils will just stroy-up since they aren't using their main weapon. They can take many flyer drone hits without dying.

[beer_engineer]

Yep you can't kill them but you can stop the drones at least.

I guess you could switch to the other team and TK him..

NO DON'T DO THAT! :cool:

It wouldn't help anyway, he will just run back there, and your team is down one guy.

Maybe if you keep killing his drones he will get bored and jump down and you can blast him :)

[beer_engineer]

Also, mines do blow up flyer drones, and the player takes the 20 damage. If you jump up you can plant and arm a mine at the bottom of that vent - might have to jump a few times to get it armed though...

1. This was already posted (also with pics) over a month ago and 2. if you're a good infiltrator, you're completely wasting your time in there since you could do so much more and notably more useful things than tossing out one flyer drone per minute.

Also, if you're the only Infiltrator in the team and your psiradar gets blown - you better get your ass outta there and redeploy it...

if you're lucky to get the self-arming mines, you're good :)
