For the bigfoot test turns out if you have at least 3 on your build you already optimize the cheetah's engine perk. This wasn't a scientific test or something I just checked the frames and looked which one charged faster.
@@burningsamrai3681 they are great until everybody in your lobby knows your running them and they keep chasing you. Imo they could use the defensive movement feature the annihilator drones have. They group together to much. I'll try different combo's next time
I'm not sure, but I think the cabin bonus on drones only applies when they are deployed at the time of the bonus working, so with the Howl you need to sneak up to enemies, wait for the perk and then deploy them. So Jannabi or Aggressor might be more useful.
One of your best episodes in the series so far...i loved it!..thing for me is...if played wright those drones can be a real pain in the bum...hehe..as you showed us!!...someway i always end up in a pool with other drone players when i deside to run my dronebuild....wierd!..thanks for sharing and keep it up JB!
I dunno if it's mentioned anywhere but they specifically target the cabin, so shooting off parts or weapons is often difficult with them. At least they provide a good defense against other drones, mines, turrets, etc.
That is why i like fuze anaconda combo, because the fuzes might go for the cabin but do explosion damage and if they go for hover cabin they might get directly under the hover, the Anaconda targets the runners ;-)
Good stuff man, love this sort of video. I’ve gotten into MechWarrior Online recently to scratch my big fightin’ machine itch, but your Crossout content is always worth a watch. Also goddamn all drones should have a target lock like the Annhilator does
Interesting, helpful video! Like the build at 10:20. Not far enough in to the game with all necessary parts to try it. But i Reckon fused turret drones with a Muunin cab and shield could be viable; obv. using the shield to keep turrets alive whilst the cab is giving them their damage increase for full effect!?
I've only been able to make one build work and it's a hybrid with 2 blues 1 purple that shoots rockets and the legendary one all running together. The legendary slows em down focuses attention while the rocket knocks open gaps and the machine gun ones go for the cab.
I went back and tried the build after a couple years now. Had to change a couple things around for mass. I'm good and I couldn't get off the bottom of the scoreboard. That's with using others as fodder and ramming the whole bit. I can make it survive to the end when the teams good but it just crumbles when they know your there.
By small builds, were ammo is hard to protect, and by bigger too, I build ammo in with a Rift (or how this detache modul named) and cut the ammo when enemies shoot me to much or I am near or under the Limit for default ammo of the kannon. This save me a lot.
Maybe try building the drone platforms on a ridiculously tall stack of passthrough parts😆… some guy was running a drone tower like that and doing decent support
I have my drones max for durability. The fact that drones only target cabins makes it easier to find who to attack that doesn't have their cabins hidden well. Those are who I got for the most.
I used to use a duo falcon and duo cobra in a tusk build that was a lot of fun. Also i think i still have in exhibition a drone quirky build i used for adventure mode, it was called "Heavy Rain" i think. Its an high ps thing, but it was fun to use.
You neglected to mention/use the robot drone codriver. While you might not be able to use the perk with hover drones, the other bonuses are worth having anyway.
Drones definitely need buffed, in looking at you annihilators 👀 They seem underwhelming since they get destroyed fast and don't do much damage. The only decent drone is the Yaogai but only at low PS.
I’ve found the negative reaction people have to drones to be strange. They’re generally one of the weakest weapon types and choosing them usually puts the user at a disadvantage, yet some opponents still get mad when seeing them. Why would you be mad at an opponent who’s making things easier for you? You should save it for meta and full stacked clans abusing the matchmaking system. I think it’s an unfounded bias left over from the grenadier meta from 3 years ago, the last time the drone weapon category was decent.
I think most people are mad having them on their own team, never saw opponents complaining. Especailly with those annoying time wasters running Fuzes when the whole team is gone already.
I am a new-ish player (joined early May) and I despise drones for the most part. Most droners don’t know how to make a good drone build and prove detrimental to their own team. Another is just that droners are annoying to chase down and drag out matches for unnecessary amounts of time only to get very low scores.
I really hope they do this crossplay... The main reason I say Xbox is gonna be hard is because we play the same guys over and over and we've tried all the builds. Y'all have a bigger population so you don't see the same guys as much as we do. Clan wars we'll see but as far as missions it's gonna be crazy. On Xbox there's teams at every ps farming it's not easy for anyone.
I play on Xbox as well. You're right about all that 😅 also, since the new update, I can't turn off Vsync anymore. So my game runs at 25 fps on the One X :/ that's literally unplayable for me
Very mixed for now but i need to play more and not just jump to conclusions. Yeah graphics look nice unfortunately they used normal 1080 textures and not 4k i think. Things are not as sharp and clean.
Drones and bots always try to target cabin so even if an enemy have one gun lest and no weels he will still kill you, that is a problem, if drone targeting were more random it might help the droner.
falcon i know very well those. the best use 3 differend cabs can help with perks the call people usually choices so for dmg with aggressor does help more dmg base on stacks and jannabi cab while drift launch drones. highly recomment bigfoots wheels and cheetah for charge faster almost all drones charge base. downside is co-driver falcon cannot work few drones. drones does help shot from get off kapkan or drones off but cannot shot projetiles
Falcon and hawk player here. They are barely playable since shotguns has been meta for ever and now MGs are good again. Totally unplayable imo. Imma king mine player nowadays. 3 mines + 1 kapcan at 6k ps = derp and hate mail.
Drone are not that great too much counter to them and easy to deal with them. I hate when there are 2-3 different drone players 😒 on my team they died so fast and leave us with a 3v6
I think drones are fair, I don't get the hate. Machine guns is the mindless easy mode, and seal clubbers, some droners are terrible people, wait for the team to die then run a drone hit run for us waiting for garage. They can be abused. Or good backup to a relic with a crutch? I'm not hanging up up my grenader drone, however I'm chasing enemies with a hawk in flight and Emily screaming "stop hurting my friends!" Lol Crossout is so much fun. I hated free to play. Now I have access to better stuff I see how bringing the biggest weapons to bully boots is not a mark on me. Blowing up doesn't bother me as much. I came to play you can win the match. Peices.
9:14 JB got so bored of drones he did his intro a second time 😂😂 Man, L_U_C_H_O is stealing my thunder as the "Some 8k Player that uses Caucasus". I thought we were buds :(

Aaaaah thanks if that really is the case it's lame hahaha. I'll do 2 more videos with drones so i'll test this
2 falcons, 2 borers, small tracks, cheetah and growl cab is 1 of my all time greatest grinders great fun easy to play no aim just drive

And I'm all fused out running 10k 6 bigfoots cheetah doppler
This reason right here's why I want crossplay to share the builds with everyone.
By small builds, were ammo is hard to protect, and by bigger too, I build ammo in with a Rift (or how this detache modul named) and cut the ammo when enemies shoot me to much or I am near or under the Limit for default ammo of the kannon.
This save me a lot.

I enjoy drones. I have a build on PC called "That Drone Guy" using sidekicks. I just wish the Genesis mod added more "ammo" than it currently does.

Yes thanks you i though it was a no brainer but you are right i should have said it

Yeah, they need a serious buff. Just more durability.

is there any module that helps the Emily grenade launcher? besides the engine
Averter and Omamori for sure xD
@@logiarhythm6285 what about the reload modules do they work ?
@@pauloaugustothegunslinger3415 reload is not too bad with Emilys, so it sure would help but I would spend the energy on something else.
i think the jannabi drift cabin boosts the damage of turrets for sure and i believe drones too
when drifting
Needs a buff to durability. Not damage.
Have you tried the witch hunt update ,,what a mess.
Not yet maybe later
In mobile drones are game changers... turret drone with flamethrower enemy run away as soon as they saw it.
what is the music in the intro? it sounds epic!
15:29 Why you sounded like a grandpa lol 😆

Best 4000/5000 pc build at a decent price for a new player?
You want me to build a pc for you? i can help if you hop on discord or something
Cant wait to see your opinion on the new update.. they made a lot of unnecessary changes, but I'll admit the graphics look amazing
Very mixed for now but i need to play more and not just jump to conclusions. Yeah graphics look nice unfortunately they used normal 1080 textures and not 4k i think. Things are not as sharp and clean.

yes very good with a very tanky build

And I have many of these fused as well as the turrets lol
epica still good:)
I hope jb does not use the call cabin for the wheel drones. the call is not for the grenadier or side kick. need to build tanky for them
The only thing these are good for in my opinion is a support build to battle kapkans builds
Is it me they always target cabins no matter what there is between they and hers
😅
not enough time to go thru more than 6 drones pur match. less micros neeeded.
Good Stuff!
RIP Crossout... 8000h in the game and it is all gone.
Did you lose your password, hoverbro?
I have a special build that I use in CW that could make yours completely Useless. Multiple Disconectors and a Cheta with Bigfoots.
anything is better than this drone build XD
If you hate Drones, use Interceptor. it disables them by 4 seconds long.
Sorry JBRider . . . 😢
