I just want to say on behalf of the Battlefront II community just want to say thank you for not recommending using the stinger pistol and making battlefront II a better place
That's like saying you deserve a trophy for going to work. We all know that's just silly. People would play the silly objective more if it wasn't liquid stress and anger.
@@cugzo619 hey don't take it the wrong way I understand wanting to play for the win but this game gives you literally nothing for doing it. It is literally pure stress. If they gave us more credits as well as xp I would agree to capturing it. Yes I want a 1000 credits per capture. Make me care about capturing the damn thing.
Just FYI, on the second weapon, the improved bolt speed basically makes the weapon a hit-scan shot. Even at some pretty crazy ranges, the bullet reaches the target instantaneously
Actually Sammy, I don't want to sound nit picky, but for the marksman card, it instantly cools your blaster every time and then AFTER that your blaster builds up to 40% less heat for a short time
If you want to be really cheeky as specialist, try and get one of your squadmates to be a hero with a high jump, then have them jump their way to all those spots you only ever see aerials in, then relish your exclusive high ground
A great setup for specialist is Stealth, Brawler (regen abilities and some health when you get a melee kill) , and Personal Shield. It's a very annoying character to play against. Activating Infiltrator and then Shield can give you increased speed as well.
Guys... the disruptor shot on NT-242 is incredibly overpowered. It has so much splash damage and takes out tanks in like 7 shots. Gets battlepoints so quickly. Not only that, but the splash damage deals massive damage to blocking heroes so they have no choice but to run away
disagree you dont need splash damage if you can hit your shots and and the heroes dont need to run away if they are able to play they will not slowley block walk towards you honestly
I love using the NT-242 with improved cooling and dual zoom, along with stealth, improved thermal binoculars, and hardened infiltration. You can find a spot to begin sniping, using the thermal binoculars to hit distant targets or to fire through the brush on maps like Kashyyyk, and when things get too close, you can activate infiltration to deal with nearby enemies and reposition.
I always get huge killstreaks but then have to run for so long when the map moves inside for GA Run the NT with first 2 attachments, and literally the first 3 star cards Climb to high places whenever you can For close range use the 3rd one with just burst, use trip mine concussion shot thing and killstreak infiltration or stealth
This is the best class I use stealth, personal shield and the other star card that makes u get 100 hp when melee. Obviously having 125 damage helps this its op
On he final stage on galactic assault on kamino make sure you throw shock grenades into the waves of enemies and spam the default clone sniper (I forgot the name) followed by spamming the default third ability. The kill streaks are insane
I was abt to comment about it. I'm alright at the game, but after I put on the disruptor shot, I'd be hitting shots I never even knew were possible with the splash damage. The reward for destroying vehicles is so high too, I'm usually the first one on my team to be able to get a hero lol
Anti-hero build: Stinger pistol, stealth and bubble shield. Stinger is highly effective on heroes over time, and stealth and bubble shield can help if you have landed a few shots and the hero has closed the distance I use this alot during Heroes unleashed

Ronald Barrett III whats so enjoyable about chasing someone the entire game with the stinger pistol? They were allways such players but now I have them EVERY GAME and it ruins the experience
I think the health boost infiltration is the best one tbh. The point of infiltration is essentially to be a one man army and pop off a couple guys who get to close. That’s kind of hard though, if you keep getting mowed down after one kill. Health boost throws your opponents off by making them think you have normal health which causes them to try to finish you off without dodging your shots. This lets you easily clear the area. I never got more than one kill with infiltration before I started using the health boosted one. Also if my infiltration runs out and someone is still alive, I usually just stinger pistol them and take cover. Works every time
I usually go with the A280, hardened infiltration, and either tripmines or the Stinger. On indoors maps like the Death Star or in Mos Eisley putting trip mines in doorways etc is a true delight. With the fast recharge for your abilities-card equipped you can put a lot of tripmines up pretty quickly. And if there are heroes on the map, I never go without the Stinger.
Speaking as a level 400 sniper, the Marksman card is an absolute must if you want to play aggressively and quickscope. The game changer isn’t the reduced heat, but that it automatically “reloads” your weapon if you get a headshot. This is HUGE and will allow you to rampage through the map once your aim has become good enough to quickscope and you know the NT-242 as well as the palm of your hand. It’s going to take some time though. Took me a year.
Question as a player that just started this week haha... How do you improve your aim on PS4? Finding the fine movements to get that headshot a bit difficult using a controller.
Elazul2k I hate to be that guy, but practice. Practice A LOT. I used to suck at sniping. I played a lot, got to know the weapon and its timing, the speed of the bullet, the recoil etc. It just takes a lot of time. Pick a sensitivity and stick with it. Pick a sniper rifle and stick with it (preferably the fourth and last one). And practice.
I have set up an anti-tank build for my specialist, designed to eliminate tanks and walkers on the ground, which can pose a big threat often. The centerpiece is the NT-242 with Ion Shot, as that thing hits vehicles like a freaking truck, especially on the weak spots. For cards, I have the Stealth card for positioning, the personal shield for safety, and (importantly) the Experts Weapons Handling card, specifically to pre fire the NT-242 until overheated, then get the yellow spot to fire about 5-6 shots at the tank or Walker for fast, heavy damage! Trust me, landing all those juicy shots on your desired kill is extremely satisfying...just be careful when the tank turns around to obliterate you.
Only been playing for about 8 months. And just now trying to figure out the Specialists well. Super fun on some maps, I just hate missing so much 😂 Gonna try these star cards builds though. Been trying to figure which ones I like for a minute. Thanks 🤘
I got 2 I really like using. Trapper: improved shock grenade, trip mine, and your choice of infiltrator (I use killstreak). Great for indoor objectives. Throw the mine against a wall, throw a grenade when ya see a face, and when he'll breaks loose, infiltrator. Tripmine body shot works wonders. Spotter: got a buddy that is slaying out? Bounty hunter, improved binoculars, and improved shock grenade. Support him then hero up.
I still can't believe that is my most used class, I only have purple cards in this class. After I made this comment I went back to lvl up other classes and I have all weapons/attachments and purple for all default classes, I love this game
I use 3 diferent build: 1: Nt-242 or IQA-11 Repulsor cannon Personal shield Stealth or Marksman Tip: you can swap quickly to repulsor cannon shoot once and swap back to the heavy sniper and its a guaranteed hit. Most of the time they fail to dodge the second shot too and die. You can push back shielded droidekas and heroes too. If a jet trooper fly too close he need much longer time to stand up. I pref stealth over Marksman because you can melee inside the personal shield. You can even combo infiltrator movement speed and personal shield for a quick rush or to run avay from heroes. 2: A280-CFE Stinger pistol (recommend at least lv 3) or shock generade. Trip mine Bodyguard or survivalist Its my point holder stinger is nasty on reinforcements and can stop heroes from regenerate health plus acurate and reveal the enemys who runing avay if you dont feel the point holding you can alvays shot somebody and chase them down great to take down jet troopers whoes try to fly to safety and wait out the poison . 1 shot more than enugh or 2 for that efect then quicly swap back to you main weapon. 3. Nt or Iqa Hardened infiltration. Resourcefull Bioncullar or sourvivalist or personal shield. Its my Infiltration spammer build but i use Nt for a swift noscope 1 tap kills Bioncullars to locate ppls shield or sourvivalist if i die too many times.
LMAO! I know the feeling homie. But as an assault main user that can use slug Vanguard fairly well, I know how good it can feel to dish that type of surprise out too 😂
@Fhhfghf Zhddh I don't get why people keep getting bothered by how other people play. Just leave them alone and let them enjoy the game. Its amazing how run and gun players just can't stop being jerks to people who enjoy camping.
Not So Good Cheese Me and my buddy when we go sniper team on capital supremacy on kamino tend to get in sniper contests from our spawn with snipers from the enemy spawn. Pretty fun ngl. After one side establishes dominance we can then help out our teams actually ptfo-ing.
@@soldiersaint6753 Yes! It's a totally legit playstyle. You play to win and would be a fool if you'd let your enemies dictate how you play. Also, not everyone are made to be on the front lines. God knows I don't excel when I throw myself into the breach.
Man, the last time I played these poor guys only had 100hp and it was so difficult. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things and these guides really help.
May have already been said (didn't read all 300+ comments), but I would argue that the "improved cooldown state" card is superior to the "headshot cooldown" one. As a sniper, you can easily hit the yellow cooldown state 100% of the time behind cover for example, and then just wreck house down hallways on Naboo, over the sea in Kamino, etc. I find this card pretty amazing across all classes and it's hard for me to swap it out. Further arguments: - The card still benefits from body shots, which are of course easier and likely more common to land. - Body shots with the NT-242 deal around 50% of your targets health. So you really rack up the kill assists as the Heavies and Assaulters charge the front line. You are more likely to stick body shots than go for heads and miss. Arguably better team play style. - The length of the improved cooldown state in stupid long. It basically removes overheating for a very lengthy time frame. In closing, with all the chaos of the 20v20 maps (GA/S), I would take this card over Stealth and/or the Headshot card (Marksman). Your front line troopers, jet packers, vehicles, etc. Will keep the enemy busy while you're at a distance doing what snipers do best. And, with the capability to remove overheating and the need to reload pretty much with 100% uptime... personally, I think it's potentially the best option available for ranged killing play style.
Thing that sucks about learning to play sniper in arcade mode is the AI seem to know precisely where you are at all times, so hiding to get a good sniper spot is completely pointless ☹️
the way i use the specialists: look where alot of people are hit them with your sniper turn infiltrator on run at them and finnish them off i also put the sting pistol instead of my grenade so if infiltration runs out i take out the pistol
Thanks for the guide, just to refresh my knowledge. Even though my specialist is Level 70+, I rarely use the specialist because unfortunately even if I get a quick 8 player killstreak at the start of a match, some officer will have more battlepoints with less kills
A-280 CFE w/ 3-burst, dual zoom; bubble shield, stealth, hardened infil (only infil boost that decreases recharge time). Basically play like an assault without ever showing on enemy radar (bc of stealth) and w/ better range at the cost of less shots before overheat
I use stealth, marksman, personal shield and the last sniper rifle. It's really good for sniping and gaining BP and KS from afar, at least until the enemy gets pissed off and goes Arial and starts hunting you down
As a newer player who had mostly watched very, very early guides on the specialist, I did kinda have to learn as I went a little bit. Glad there is updated guides now ~~even though I unlocked the NT-242 by the time this released lol~~.
This class is so much fun to play aggressively with hardened infiltration, personal shield and either the first or second rifle. Super fast-paced and completely overwhelms enemies
Very nice guide, but a couple of things off the top of my head: 1) No Stinger Pistol explanation. Would've been nice to hear what it does and why peeps might use it (Hero and Special Unit damage) 2) Got your Stealth and Marksman Star Card images mixed up when showing your personal build :p 3) Honestly, the Scrambler Infiltration isn't as good as normal Infiltration because not only does it last a shorter period of time, you're probably gonna die as the specialist way before your team can utilize the map hacks unless you're actually decent with Infiltration or you just hang back with your team and don't go anywhere. The Assault Class' Scan Dart is much better at gathering intel in every way solely because it highlights enemies and displays them on the minimap without putting yourself in imminent danger. 4) Should mention how you have to have actual line of sight on your enemies with the Binoculars in order to ping them; can't ping them through walls. 5) Forgot the best O.G. build in the game: Toxic Shield Melee Boi xD (Stealth, Brawler, Personal Shield; activate Infiltration for speed and map hacks, then activate PS for bubble, and have fun)
Not many prefer using the disruptor shot on the NT 242 but it scares heroes easily because they can't deflect it. Like I'm the only one using it most of the time in GA. It one shots officer turrets, Heavy shields and packs a punch on vehicle weak spots as well.
I use your same personal build except for the grenade ir shield thing. I use bounty. You can never lose the thermal binoculars if you hope to win sniper battles
Specialists are my favorite class!! And the Star Cards I've used for as long as I can remember are, Bounty Hunter, Trip Mine, and the health regeneration one (can't think of the name, though)... Never underestimate the Trip Mine! It can even destroy Speeders on Crait, lol!
Yes, trip mine can be very effective, and I love the personal shield and trip mine but I'm so used to the amazing thermal binoculars I can't lose them for one of those abilities 😭 I wish DICE moved one of them to replace the shock grenade
As specialist I use Stealth, Improved shock grenade, the trip mine, and the A280-CFE with burst and Ion. I primarily flank around the enemy (I mostly play CS) and try to remain undetected only shooting at enemies that are alone or with AI, though when I'm inevitably spotted I run and on my way I place trip mines to weaken/slow down/kill the people that give chase. Yes, I'm a coward... Also the improved shock grenade card I switch out sometimes
Rebel Pathfinders for the Rebels and either Shadow Troopers or Probe Droids for the Empire. No clue what they could do for the other two tho since they aren't very fleshed out in canon as of now
i was gonna make a video about this leak, but i guess ill just share it here, for the resistance they are going to do an infiltrator called dose nico who slams into you when you are getting shot but he does damage to you while he does it and he takes recoil damage too, he also has unique voice line: that's how we are gonna win, not fighting what we hate, but saving what we love. I have no idea where they got the idea for such a character but hey ho
@@diegoo6807 lol. A year later I’m a head hunter. Had a 24 kill streak defending on Crait the other day. Finally got taken out by a raging sniper in a At-ST
Ive only started specialist class two days ago I used to think the class was trash but now I'm getting quite good at it, my highest killstreak with it so far is 11
Okay, so.... I usually use his marksman build... but recently I have discovered a new love for the A280 (ion, triple), hardened infiltration, stealth, and personal shield with a focus on flanking. Being off radar. I have to say, it can get a little ridiculous if you're cautiously flanking
Try out the Steatlh card in combination with the shield. You may not be able to shoot but you can melee enemies through your shield and it’s so fun to just bash them all away and some of them don’t have a clue how. That increased melee damage makes a standard trooper a two kill hit. Mix it with the scramble intfiltration activate it before your shield and you can go behind enemy lines and assassinate them without taking damage
NT-242 is legit a mass murder weapon you just need to get somewhat good with it and you can hold down areas from range like crazy even taking out hero’s with well placed headshots
I’ve been using the stinger pistol lately and it’s really fun to use, it’s such a sight to see heroes/villains to hide in a corner only to die from the damage :D
For the battlepoint build at 10:09 replace the shock grenade with stinger pistol. I personally use the stinger pistol because every time you hit a player, you get a good amount of battlepoints. Just an opinion you don't have to use it
I play aggressively and I alternate between being a sniper and gunning people down. My star cards are: Hardened Infiltrator(Purple) Survivalist(Purple) Resourceful(Purple)
I usually only use the specialist for galactic assault for the nt ion on the opposing vechicles because im not a good sniper but atleast i can get the target with this powerful weapon
I love the trip mine but it can be annoying to use if you cant line up the laser. Needs to be used close up against walls. It's annoying to have to give up on surivability
SammyBoiii, I’ve recently “maxed” out the Specialist class. My go to loadout is the NT with the Marksman-Stealth-Shield card setup, like your personal build. Since then I’ve changed up my card loadout so I can complete the Thermal Bino challenge. Before I was running the personal shield which is great but it replaces the binos. Since I need to free the bino slot up I’ve been playing with the Stinger pistol and I’ve found it very effective against heroes. That said, do you have a preferable loadout than would allow me to get a few spots with the binos per match and retain the Stinger pistol while still being competitive? You mentioned Survivalist which I hadn’t considered so I may try that. Thanks for your time.
im a specialiast main and you will hardly ever see me hiding at the back of the map i'm always the one killing their team before my team can get thereand i always fight close range because close range is the specialists strongest advantage( close range). no scope and hit headshots and use infiltraion and jump side to side its better than heavy for close range (my personal crad setup for specialist is marksman, bounty hunter and hardened infiltration. good vid but i didnt pick up any tips none the less keep up the great work!

Me: no longer having fun
Thanks for the likes and for hearting this
@Fhhfghf Zhddh I know right that's w hi at I say every time I get killed my them
LMAO! I know the feeling homie. But as an assault main user that can use slug Vanguard fairly well, I know how good it can feel to dish that type of surprise out too 😂
@Fhhfghf Zhddh I don't get why people keep getting bothered by how other people play. Just leave them alone and let them enjoy the game. Its amazing how run and gun players just can't stop being jerks to people who enjoy camping.
Not So Good Cheese
Me and my buddy when we go sniper team on capital supremacy on kamino tend to get in sniper contests from our spawn with snipers from the enemy spawn. Pretty fun ngl. After one side establishes dominance we can then help out our teams actually ptfo-ing.
@@soldiersaint6753 Yes! It's a totally legit playstyle. You play to win and would be a fool if you'd let your enemies dictate how you play. Also, not everyone are made to be on the front lines. God knows I don't excel when I throw myself into the breach.
Aaaaand you’ve earned a new sub dude keep up the great work!
Man, the last time I played these poor guys only had 100hp and it was so difficult. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things and these guides really help.
May have already been said (didn't read all 300+ comments), but I would argue that the "improved cooldown state" card is superior to the "headshot cooldown" one.
As a sniper, you can easily hit the yellow cooldown state 100% of the time behind cover for example, and then just wreck house down hallways on Naboo, over the sea in Kamino, etc.
I find this card pretty amazing across all classes and it's hard for me to swap it out.
Further arguments:
- The card still benefits from body shots, which are of course easier and likely more common to land.
- Body shots with the NT-242 deal around 50% of your targets health. So you really rack up the kill assists as the Heavies and Assaulters charge the front line. You are more likely to stick body shots than go for heads and miss. Arguably better team play style.
- The length of the improved cooldown state in stupid long. It basically removes overheating for a very lengthy time frame.
In closing, with all the chaos of the 20v20 maps (GA/S), I would take this card over Stealth and/or the Headshot card (Marksman). Your front line troopers, jet packers, vehicles, etc. Will keep the enemy busy while you're at a distance doing what snipers do best. And, with the capability to remove overheating and the need to reload pretty much with 100% uptime... personally, I think it's potentially the best option available for ranged killing play style.
Nt-242 with first 2 attachments, stealth, bubble shield, bounty hunter
Thing that sucks about learning to play sniper in arcade mode is the AI seem to know precisely where you are at all times, so hiding to get a good sniper spot is completely pointless ☹️
the way i use the specialists:
look where alot of people are
hit them with your sniper
turn infiltrator on
run at them and finnish them off
i also put the sting pistol instead of my grenade so if infiltration runs out i take out the pistol
Thanks for the guide, just to refresh my knowledge. Even though my specialist is Level 70+, I rarely use the specialist because unfortunately even if I get a quick 8 player killstreak at the start of a match, some officer will have more battlepoints with less kills
A-280 CFE w/ 3-burst, dual zoom; bubble shield, stealth, hardened infil (only infil boost that decreases recharge time).
Basically play like an assault without ever showing on enemy radar (bc of stealth) and w/ better range at the cost of less shots before overheat
I use IQA with dual zoom and improved cooling and my star cards are Bounty Hunter, Bubble Shield and Stealth
I use stealth, marksman, personal shield and the last sniper rifle. It's really good for sniping and gaining BP and KS from afar, at least until the enemy gets pissed off and goes Arial and starts hunting you down
As a newer player who had mostly watched very, very early guides on the specialist, I did kinda have to learn as I went a little bit. Glad there is updated guides now ~~even though I unlocked the NT-242 by the time this released lol~~.
This class is so much fun to play aggressively with hardened infiltration, personal shield and either the first or second rifle.
Super fast-paced and completely overwhelms enemies
Are you a noob because the first and second rifles are the shittiest weapons in the game.
Love it. Hope another hero guide is on its way!
I personally like to use the pistol star card because i tend to be able to fend for myself if i get attacked by 3,4,5 enemies at once
Thanks man! I am from Argentina but I think that your guides are the best! Please keep up doing it
Very nice guide, but a couple of things off the top of my head:
1) No Stinger Pistol explanation. Would've been nice to hear what it does and why peeps might use it (Hero and Special Unit damage)
2) Got your Stealth and Marksman Star Card images mixed up when showing your personal build :p
3) Honestly, the Scrambler Infiltration isn't as good as normal Infiltration because not only does it last a shorter period of time, you're probably gonna die as the specialist way before your team can utilize the map hacks unless you're actually decent with Infiltration or you just hang back with your team and don't go anywhere. The Assault Class' Scan Dart is much better at gathering intel in every way solely because it highlights enemies and displays them on the minimap without putting yourself in imminent danger.
4) Should mention how you have to have actual line of sight on your enemies with the Binoculars in order to ping them; can't ping them through walls.
5) Forgot the best O.G. build in the game: Toxic Shield Melee Boi xD (Stealth, Brawler, Personal Shield; activate Infiltration for speed and map hacks, then activate PS for bubble, and have fun)
1) Stinger Pistol is scum
2) RIP
3) Each to their own
4) Listen to it again
5) Again, that build is scum. I try not to promote scummy tactics.
SammyBoiii lmao facts
I've been maining the flash pistol recently. My assault always wanted to be an officer. I also just want to flex on people.
Lol
Not many prefer using the disruptor shot on the NT 242 but it scares heroes easily because they can't deflect it. Like I'm the only one using it most of the time in GA. It one shots officer turrets, Heavy shields and packs a punch on vehicle weak spots as well.
Personal shield is all right, but I think that binoculars are just vastly superior for specialists. Sure, you can run, but you can't hide.
Thanks I usually quickscope in other games so this helped
I've been looking forward to this class guide Sammy!
Why does everyone say “smash” the like button. You want your device to still work after you smash the like button so you can subscribe
Ok you asked me to leave a like below so here you are 👍🏻
A280-CFE with burst in capital supremacy on Naboo is OP
I'm level 100 spiesialist, And I strongly suggest disruptor shot. It's got really good are damage, and your more likely to get headshots.
When defending Crait run back into doors asap and perch on the vehicles and NT away
Thank the lord man!! Brilliant absolutely brilliant
The up close a personal build. Bubble Shield card. Stealth card. Brawler card. 280 cfe.
I use your same personal build except for the grenade ir shield thing. I use bounty. You can never lose the thermal binoculars if you hope to win sniper battles
Specialists are my favorite class!! And the Star Cards I've used for as long as I can remember are, Bounty Hunter, Trip Mine, and the health regeneration one (can't think of the name, though)... Never underestimate the Trip Mine! It can even destroy Speeders on Crait, lol!
Padawan of Christ Isn’t it called Survivalist?
Incitos Sol Survivalist is one of the cards I think not the name of the the class. Sammy boiii calls it specialist in the title
Yes, trip mine can be very effective, and I love the personal shield and trip mine but I'm so used to the amazing thermal binoculars I can't lose them for one of those abilities 😭 I wish DICE moved one of them to replace the shock grenade
I've seen you in battlefront compilations
SammyBoiii’s #1 fan My inquiry was in reference to the card. My apologies for the lack of clarity.
As specialist I use Stealth, Improved shock grenade, the trip mine, and the A280-CFE with burst and Ion. I primarily flank around the enemy (I mostly play CS) and try to remain undetected only shooting at enemies that are alone or with AI, though when I'm inevitably spotted I run and on my way I place trip mines to weaken/slow down/kill the people that give chase.
Yes, I'm a coward...
Also the improved shock grenade card I switch out sometimes
Great video! I usually combine marksman and battle point builds with marksman, bounty hunter and improved binoculars with the nt-242.
I think the new way classes and their abilities work is much better. I'm finally able to get some wins and actually enjoy the game.
Do ariel and enforcer guides next. Also, who do you think could be infiltrators for the Empire, Rebels, Resistance and First Order?
Rebel Pathfinders for the Rebels and either Shadow Troopers or Probe Droids for the Empire. No clue what they could do for the other two tho since they aren't very fleshed out in canon as of now
I also thought that Bothans could work for the Rebels.
For the First Order maybe those red stormtroopers and the resistance a spy.
They could maybe do something with the pilots like we all thought awhile ago don’t know about first order or resistance
i was gonna make a video about this leak, but i guess ill just share it here, for the resistance they are going to do an infiltrator called dose nico who slams into you when you are getting shot but he does damage to you while he does it and he takes recoil damage too, he also has unique voice line: that's how we are gonna win, not fighting what we hate, but saving what we love. I have no idea where they got the idea for such a character but hey ho
I just unlocked the third gun and honestly I think it might be my new favourite class.
I prefer the Nt 242 with the cooling and ion shot attachments for star cards I use the stinger pistol and trip mine
Great info here! Just now finally trying to level up as a specialist. I find it hard af to get kills so far.
It's all about the right time, map and place your sniping from
The best map for me to snipe is geonosis
@@diegoo6807 lol. A year later I’m a head hunter. Had a 24 kill streak defending on Crait the other day. Finally got taken out by a raging sniper in a At-ST
I had just realised it had been a year since you commented and I was like nahh he good
Ive only started specialist class two days ago I used to think the class was trash but now I'm getting quite good at it, my highest killstreak with it so far is 11
Any verdict on the newest addition to the Specialist, the Cycler Rifle?
Okay, so....
I usually use his marksman build... but recently I have discovered a new love for the A280 (ion, triple), hardened infiltration, stealth, and personal shield with a focus on flanking. Being off radar. I have to say, it can get a little ridiculous if you're cautiously flanking
Try out the Steatlh card in combination with the shield. You may not be able to shoot but you can melee enemies through your shield and it’s so fun to just bash them all away and some of them don’t have a clue how. That increased melee damage makes a standard trooper a two kill hit. Mix it with the scramble intfiltration activate it before your shield and you can go behind enemy lines and assassinate them without taking damage
I use the A280CFE with burst mode most time but sometimes like first phase of Crait I use the one shot headshot kill weapon
Ahhh i remember ee4 from Battlefront 2015. I also remember how people complained about it being OP and me always using it ;)
NT-242 is legit a mass murder weapon you just need to get somewhat good with it and you can hold down areas from range like crazy even taking out hero’s with well placed headshots
great guide. just started to play the game now. and i love to long-range snipe and mark targets for my team
I’ve been using the stinger pistol lately and it’s really fun to use, it’s such a sight to see heroes/villains to hide in a corner only to die from the damage :D
There should be a Roids attachment for the NT-242. Basically turns of zoom so you have to aggressively no scope.
😂😂😂
For the battlepoint build at 10:09 replace the shock grenade with stinger pistol. I personally use the stinger pistol because every time you hit a player, you get a good amount of battlepoints. Just an opinion you don't have to use it
I would use the iqa-11 with the stealth card the improved binoculars and the killstreak Infiltration
I've had this game for so long and feel guilty playing this instead of all the new games I bought including cyberpunk. This game is bomb
My Specialist Build:
A280-CFE with Dual and Burst
Stinger Pistol
Personal Shield
Expert Handling
I play aggressively and I alternate between being a sniper and gunning people down.
My star cards are:
Hardened Infiltrator(Purple)
Survivalist(Purple)
Resourceful(Purple)
I usually only use the specialist for galactic assault for the nt ion on the opposing vechicles because im not a good sniper but atleast i can get the target with this powerful weapon
After the first card I wanted to do all of the sniper build type cards but the last one was shield, I had the same as you :O
I love the trip mine but it can be annoying to use if you cant line up the laser. Needs to be used close up against walls.
It's annoying to have to give up on surivability
i use the same personal build as you do, yet i do swap it around in different co op scenarios
SammyBoiii, I’ve recently “maxed” out the Specialist class. My go to loadout is the NT with the Marksman-Stealth-Shield card setup, like your personal build. Since then I’ve changed up my card loadout so I can complete the Thermal Bino challenge. Before I was running the personal shield which is great but it replaces the binos. Since I need to free the bino slot up I’ve been playing with the Stinger pistol and I’ve found it very effective against heroes. That said, do you have a preferable loadout than would allow me to get a few spots with the binos per match and retain the Stinger pistol while still being competitive? You mentioned Survivalist which I hadn’t considered so I may try that. Thanks for your time.
Aaaah this is what I’ve been waiting for
I remember when I mastered the specialist class that was on October never
im a specialiast main and you will hardly ever see me hiding at the back of the map i'm always the one killing their team before my team can get thereand i always fight close range because close range is the specialists strongest advantage( close range). no scope and hit headshots and use infiltraion and jump side to side its better than heavy for close range (my personal crad setup for specialist is marksman, bounty hunter and hardened infiltration. good vid but i didnt pick up any tips none the less keep up the great work!
Super helpful vid! Thanks :D
Got a 32 kill streak today with the NT, most satisfying thing ever
Enjoyed the video thanks man
I was just about to ask for this
9:45 nice shot!
I'm worst sniper ever.
