Assault build: bombs and mobility

I tried avoiding the 'typical' endorsements just for sh*ts and giggles, after a little tweaking I found this class works quite well. I don't expect this to be the most effective assault, but I find it holds a lot of entertainment value whilst being very effective in the right circumstances:

Gold: skill recovery
Silver: armour
Bronze: heath recovery/speed

Upgrade to bomb lvl 3

THROW AS MANY BOMBS AS YOU CAN

Propel yourself with your bombs to get above opponents and accross the arena. Wait for a second or two before blowing yourself up so that your next bomb is charged when you reach your destination - it doesn't take long. Grenade III is a great place for doing this.

Get lvl2 passive and lvl3 jetpack. The jetpack will last ages due to your skill regen.

Get lvl3 charge. For once it's worth it. This class isn't worth buying juice for, your guns are junk so the extra means of killing people is very helpful. Most importantly the recharge rate is extremely quick. Combined with the bomb propelling you and the near infinite jet pack you will become extremely mobile.

lvl3 passive is not worth it - your guns are junk

Don't stop for bots, just drop a bomb on them and leave. This class excels at hassling opponents and stopping them controlling their lanes. Disrupt them with your bombs.

Don't bother fighting other assaults, their jetpack negates propelling power of your bomb and charge, they'll no doubt have a better gun than you, drop a bomb and propel yourself away.

If you stop to fire grenades at turrets be sure to throw bombs at it too.

Throw your bombs on the money ball.

This class is terrible in the early part of the game. I use a different assault to begin a match, something that doesn't need skills. I buy my lvl3 bomb and then change over.

I'd say this is weird, but I've played you recently and GOD, it was horrible.

I think I'll try it myself, it's a nice variation on all the RoFs and Accs.

Sounds like a fun build...and ot make ppl QQ more about bomb lawlz

I'm pleased to say that this tactic works so well on grenade III that people are sending abuse down the mic at me, I gather they filed a complaint for glitching.... excellent!

I might add that one of the reasons I started doing this was to counter lag, bombs are not very sensitive to it like bullet fights. Playing in the evening for me means playing people in the US and inevitably everyone's connection is better than mine.

Your AR isn't junk, I use the same setup (kckzi does as well, but I think he goes bronze acc now) except with Gold Armor. It's worth buying Passive 3, probably more than juice.

I'll consider passive 3 in future. in pub games so often are turrets worthless that I don't always bother building them. With my (in)accuracy I find I don't make the most of juice. It just upsets me when I sneak up on people and it takes so long for my gun to kill them that they have time to turn around and fight me.

I agree that gold armour is better with silver skill, but I made an executive decision to make this class fun to play, not practical. The fact that it is at all effective is a nice bonus.

Where are you from? I play with a few american guys an i play mostly through the night (im in the UK) so i know what you mean.

I'm in the UK too. The time of day I play varies considerably. It's bad enough that I can't shoot for sh*t, but the lag strips me of grapple too. It doesn't leave me a lot of options.
