As the title says, berserker running melee perks + the eldersword deals alot more damage and is a considerable force that can be used in 1v4 rambo melee situations. I made a video using the berserker predator and I spent the whole day just ramboing fireteams using this combo. I’m not saying it’s overpowered but it’s alot more consistent than I thought it would be, I personally believe this method is much stronger than the combistick as the eldersword deals alot more damage than the combistick and downs fireteam members so much faster. The Eldersword’s only problem is it’s bad range but with the right time and the right location, it’s so easy to down an entire team within seconds. Feel free to check out the video and let me know what you think!
Berserker + elder sword is pretty much the meta right now?
I think too many get the term Meta and what everyone else is doing confused. I’ve had tremendous success with the Combi-Stick and Net Gun on my Berserker. This combination doesn’t make it easier, but rather a lot of fun.
It’s difficult to parry and the intial lunge counts as multiple hits. Good for hit and runs because of the lunge but it’s not like you can throw it. Main benefit is how fast it is so I get it.
I like wristblades. If they give a sword a bleed effect or something in the combo then maybe.
Elder sword is useable and ok, ideal for traps or someone inside, preferably cornered but it wont beat combistick(with its wide arc swings + spear toss, which hits like a truck) unless it gets some fundamental changes…like a better lunge animation in its combo or something that makes it more useful/impactful.
Yea i asked about this in another thread…I thought one of Elder swords benefits from using it was that it couldnt be parried, but i think the first 2 can be? just not the final 2? since ure swinging like a mad man itd make sense
edit :
U ever try the 1 2 3 plasma cannon combo? attack twice with wrists (since its default melee attack with plasma equipped) and on the 3rd hit u do a insta blast down forward infront u on them(makes for a good anti *parry too with the blast mixed in there)…Ive had some interesting success with it…plus I managed to land the plasma blast on some gasoline behind the FT guy one time , which wound up downing him and another guy nearby
Backpedalling definitely makes it easier to parry. Counter to the sword is sprinting away because the tracking screws up completely and itll take them a million lunges to down someone because of the hit detection. Something makes it pretty inconsistent. Sometimes that 2nd hit feels like it kills immediately. I believe melee can headshot so that could be a factor but haven’t tested it.
And no I just spear throw the Billys or reposition completely.
I was just trying to mix it up and found it to work…sometimes depends but maybe i havent picked my spear back up so I like to have it if i feel like trying it
lol yea i hear u…cant beat that sometimes…
never gets old…In this one of my favs to do, is hit twice and spear toss…since it downs any class, support too since it outputs 181 dmg but I got in more hits than i intended In this with the knife guy trying to make something happen, hoping to parry I assume so I had something for him…
Doesn’t the Elder Sword have crappy tracking that makes it hard to use?
No I think that’s the spoon
if u try to use the full combo, yes
I don’t agree with “meta” in our hunting grounds, a hunt is a hunt not a kids scoring league I have spoken
👌
In the vid he slams on them before slashing with sword, not showing the full dmg output of it. Not only this, he does the slam ‘glitch’ where u slam and exit quickly than its intended.
