Aryte Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 As a reminder, battle buddies are mandatory. If you've been in the Ordo for at least a month, you should know what they are and know how to use 'em. If I catch you without a battle buddy, be prepared to explain why!Thank ye'.

Riff Petrov Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 To add to that, don't hog battle buddies. They are meant to be battle buddy pairs. They should be not be more than two unless absolutely necessary. To quote Aryte, "No battle clubs." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsume Xiao Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Don't forget to make sure you actually work with your Battle Buddy as a team, not just claim you have one.Try to use complimentary equipment, especially packs. What do I mean by this? Lets look at some examples.-If your battle buddy is using a jetpack or boost pack, you should use one too so you can stick to gether (the opposite is true).-If your battle buddy is using armor or an engineering turret, you should have a shovel ready. If-If your battle buddy is in an Enforcer or Tyrant, gun for them. (Depending on scenario, repair might be better for the Tyrant. It depends on the status of the field and if anyone else has a shovel out)Don't think you can only compliment with packs and armor though. Take a moment to stop and think about small arms as well.-If your battle buddy is using a slow-reloading heavy weapon, such as the Tonitrus, make sure you have a weapon that can support them during their reloads-If your battle buddy is using a weapon with a limited effective range, such as a shotgun or machine pistol, make sure you have something that can go out farther should you need to.-Take your assigned position into consideration. If you two are given a suppressive fire role and are both using LMG's, make sure you time things so you are not both reloading at the same time. If you are in a predominantly close quarters situation where, such as defending the forge, make sure one of you has something that can be used as a "room broom" like a machine pistol, higher-spread SMG, or automatic shotgun.

Xoza Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 This goes for flying Astra personnel as well, you need a wingman and should be flying in pairs. Just because you're in the air doesn't mean you don't need one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Cramer Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Yeah, When navis opens I want fleet ships to fly in pairs. just because your in a huge giant ship covered in cannons and missiles doesnt mean you fly alone.

Agares Tretiak Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Remember, when fighting your standard alien scum, that if their acidic blood or organs blind you, it's your battle buddy who will drag you to the nearest emergency chemical eye-wash station.
