  • New Toys!

     

    Reach the maximum level for the E-Pulse Emitter, Tactical Echo Emitter, and Guard Drone

    How to unlock New Toys!

    Unobtainable due to server shutdown. Glitched.

    These are new skills added to the Scout, Assault and Support classes. They are essentially takes on different abilities that you would already be familiar with. Two of the three can be particularly frustrating to level legitimately, thus it is recommended you boost them.

    This trophy is glitched, but in a good way. It will actually unlock early, 250 kills/stuns/tags into your third ability. This means that once you reach the maximum level for two of the three abilities, the trophy will unlock upon reaching 250 for the last ability. Because of this, you can choose which skill you would like to level last and cut off a significant portion of the requirements. This glitch won't occur for everyone it seems, in which case you'll just have to finish it off as intended.

    Scout:
    • Guard Drone - Get 300 Guard Drone Kills
    If you thought leveling the Buddy Drone in the main game was bad, think again. The Guard Drone is essentially the same, but with a weaker stopping power. This would be extremely tedious to do legitimately due to its horrendous stopping power, so it is highly recommended you boost it. The best place to boost it is on Penthouse, directly underneath the spawn of the sheep. Have the sheep jump off the staircase so that they take significant damage, then the killer can use the Guard Drone to kill the sheep quickly. Repeating this will result in the fastest kills. Once the killer's Guard Drone runs out, commit suicide, return to your boosting area and repeat.

    Assault:
    • E-Pulse Emitter - Stun 500 pieces of enemy equipment with the E-Pulse Emitter
    This can be difficult to level legitimately, due to the fact that there isn't often a scenario where the opposition will play several pieces of equipment in close proximity. If you do this legitimately, it is recommended you do it during things like Capture Connect or Search & Destroy, given most players will confine themselves to particular areas. You can also use them near areas with Air Support drones, as the stun effect will stun-lock them until either are destroyed or expire.

    If you choose to boost - which I would recommend - have both you and your partner select Support with the Turret ability, then place them in different areas, facing a wall. Once done, kill yourselves and change to Assault with the E-Pulse Emitter, and place them near your partner's Turret. It should stun the Turret until it expires, which at max level is after 100 seconds. Once it expires, simply rinse and repeat. The reason you don't want to have both Turrets near each other is the E-Pulse Emitters can and will destroy each other when stunning. This is best done on either side of the rooftop of Penthouse.

    Alternatively, there is another method, that will result in roughly the same time commitment, but removes the hassle of changing classes. Once again, have both players place their turrets, but have them side by side. Then have one player change to Assault and place an E-Pulse Emitter. Once the three are in place, have both players change to Insurgent and have one hack the turrets so as to have control over two turrets simultaneously. The second player hacks the emitter, and as such will be getting stuns from both turrets. After a minute or so, swap so that the person with the turrets has the emitter, and that the person with the emitter has the turrets. Given that hacking resets the timer, neither turret nor emitter will ever expire, meaning you won't need to change classes. This will also give you twice the stuns, except it only levels one player at a time. This would work out to roughly the same time commitment as stated, but it isn't quite as labourious, plus it gives you some hacks too. Credit to M-Easy and yazter for this method!

    Support:
    • Tactical Echo Emitter - Tag 500 enemies players with the Tactical Echo Emitter
    This is insanely easy to level. The Tactical Echo Emitter is essentially an automated version of the Scout's Tactical Echo ability. Once you place it, it will emit every few seconds, revealing the location of every enemy in a relatively large proximity. If you use it in congested areas where players frequently go, you can reach the maximum level very quickly. I was able to get as many as 50 tags in a single game without even trying.

    If you decide to boost this, you can combine it with the hacking ability for Hacktivist. Have both players place a Tactical Echo Emitter directly side by side, then change to Insurgent and constantly hack them with . Every time the Emitters are reconstructed, they'll emit once and tag your partner. Doing it this way not only levels both abilities, but it'll level Tactical Echo Emitter faster as you'll get more frequent emissions, plus you won't have to replace it as the timer will never run out.

  • Tip: Do it like Air Drone Glitch! Find a place where they won't attack, but low (stand on rock or sth) for stun drone and climb the tower for Echo Emitter!!
