Need Advice With handling clawing gunner

What's the best way to deal with them. The movement is real erratic. I can't place any good shots. When i get close it's alot of dodging and then i have to deal with team mates. I can't take em out quick enough any advice. Btw they usually stay high.

for what class?

For the most part, the best thing to match a clawing gunner, is a better clawing gunner, or a gunner with a support healing. Also, tanks can fare very well against clawing gunners from a distance using the rail gun. Snipers should be growing accustomed to quick zoom firing and getting many accurate hits in on gunners. By just keeping the gunner between your reticle, zooming and firing quickly, a sniper should be able to hit the gunner and decrease the gunner's aggressiveness by draining his health.

Other than these, an assault always has a bomb to throw a gunner off his flight path, and assassins and supports should completely avoid these flying monstrocities.

Thanks. I have the problem of running into a clawing gunner 2/3 games. They also happen to have a support who will heal them the moment health drops below a certain amount. I think i need a player to join up with who can snipe them. Any takers.

If I wasn't at work, I would definitely jump in and pump iron into his facebox with a sniper rifle. I'd just keep an eye out for people in the lobby, or maybe just try and switch to sniper if you're capable yourself. Might be able to ignore them and go assassin if you're playing more win focused right now. A gunner/support is great for kills, but not much for moving lanes and taking the money ball out until OT, when the support can pew pew the moneyball with his shotgun while juiced.

Invite me into the game.

You do realize a clawing gunner is the last thing that can counter the Assault class by itself now. Saying they are both intelligent.

Basically just keep your distance. If you play assault, get bomb 3 ASAP and bomb that dude all over the map. Also, keep jumping CONSTANTLY. Jumping targets are MUCH harder to hit. Sniper traps placed in groups of 3 are a gunner's worst nightmare. A sneaky assassin can get away with a lot as well. Firebases can be useful in controlling them as well. The firebase is almost hit-scan and normally doesn't miss. Another thing is try to prevent him from juicing.

Counter-clawing is also useful. There are many clawing gunners, but few are good at clawing. I am pretty decent. I can counter-claw the average gunner, even if they are leashed. Clawing gunners are also easy to take down if everyone focuses fire on them. If you kill them enough, they will quit eventually.

I have found that playing assault versus clawing gunners can be quite effective. Even if you only get them down to 50% health, you have gotten them to retreat. The Bomb is REALLY REALLY effective versus gunners. It takes them down to 60% health when it is upgraded to lvl 3. Get the jump on them and they will run like a little girl.

What I do is when im playing assault I dont just jump up and down, first i throw my bomb in the gunners way, and i jump up and go left and right while I shoot him down

Fly like a butterfly sting like a bee, gunner can't hit what the eyes can't see.

Unless you Mortar through the spawn doors...Idiot. :roll:

What's "clawing"?
Never heard that term in a game before.

It's a way of holding your controller: right hand middle finger on trigger, index finger for using the buttons. That way you can still aim & shoot & use skills at the same time. Me... I'm a lefty so I just use south-paw & the underside of my thumb for the buttons

Counter Clawing gunner with Better Clawing gunner!!! It's genius I know. Hold your applause.
