Using the disruptors?
Posted: Wed Sep 15, 2004 3:36 am
IMO, the disruptor grenades are one of the most powerful, most useful items for the foot soldier to use against vehicles. I'm using them heavily anymore, and getting pretty good at it. Just wondering if others are taking advantage of them.
Whether against ground or air vehicles, just use a disruptor or two to disable the vehicle for a moment, and quickly switch to another weapon, and take them out.
My favorite method is perhaps the hardest to pull off, but it's quite fun when done right. When you are on foot, and there's a Raptor overhead, you can use alt fire, and launch them pretty darn high in the air...., then when they are close enough to the Raptor, just hit your AWO key to detonate.
These two pics don't show it as purdy as I'd like, I'll work on getting better pictorial examples, but this is just an example scenario I had when playing with the bots.

This Raptor was attacking my node, up fairly high in the air. One disruptor nade later, and he's dead. It was close enough to shut down his Raptor, and he plummetted to the Earth (had an accident).
And I have had success from much farther away too. Earlier today for example I was on the tower in center of Torlan, and took down a Raptor that was attacking my corner node. Just used alt fire and lobbed that baby waaaay over there, and then AWO. That guy didn't die from the Raptor falling, but after he went down, my teammate got him.
I post this just in case there are others playing (online or off), and not taking full advantage of these wonderful toys. If that's you, then give 'em a shot.
