Destroying the enemy team’s first sentry also destroys all of their buildables.

Destroying the enemy team’s first sentry increases your team’s respawn timer. Beware of counterpushes.

Protect your team’s supports. They keep you alive!

Don’t chase weakened enemies unless you know you can kill them. You may just end up dying yourself…

Buying buildables and killing minions can help you level up faster. Buy, buy, buy! Kill, kill, kill!

Minions can heavily damage sentries’ shields. Guide them to the enemy sentry.

Thrall guards, located in the middle of the map, can fire mortars that deal heavy damage to sentries. Try to hire them first!

Thrall crushers, located in both teams’ bases, can instantly destroy minions and knock up players.

Thrall mercenaries can be hired by killing them and then standing on the circular pad next to them.

In Meltdown, killing minions is more important than killing players. They win you the game!

Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. They’re good for you.

You could add descriptions of what all the character tags mean, such as Sniper, Skirmisher, etc. Also, I would add a page that tells people that they can suggest ideas for tips and tricks on the forums and pin/sticky this thread so that it will be easy to find. I had another idea earlier and forgot to write it down so now it’s going to nag at me all day. :expressionless:

Top marks!

Cheers!

If no one has already said this:

Find a safe spot and press Down to teleport back to base, fully recharging your health and shields.

#41

I pride myself in informing others on the health benefits of both fruits and vegetables.

Press R3 to ping the map and alert yiur team mates to enemies or other events.

(sadly, it won’t work properly or your team mates will completely ignore it)

You can sort gear based on a number of different categories as well as save loadouts for certain playstyles or characters

Sadly I didn’t realize this right away

#45

Also what about more lore details as well? Meaning some fact about wrath or jennerit etc. Maybe something more directly related to missions plots. I still don’t really know what solus is, who lives there etc.

You can also rename your loadouts.

Yeah. Took me a while to figure out I could call it bendicts loadout instead of having to remember what gear I just setup for it and scramble to find it at character selection screen

@snomes

In the same vein, you can sort your Battleborns and Titles in much the same way.

#49

A pair of powerful Thrall mercenaries will appear off the middle of the map every 5 minutes in Incursion map time. Make sure to collect them!

#50

Really? Wow. I guess I’m further behind than I thought. Some of these things I’m just learning today despite having game since launch.

Try different combinations of characters and Helix augments on your team for unexpected synergy and results in combat.

#52

Also what about negative attributes on gear? For months I was deleting them because I just thought it was inferior to gear with all positive attributes but they can still be useful for character unaffected by the negative attribute (melee character doesn’t reload for example).

Very true! I know it’s the last star in the galaxy, but I don’t really have a sense of the galaxy (how big it is, who still lives there, what planets are left, what races there are, and why the Varelsi wish to destroy it).

Yeah. Would be cool to give some tidbits about the galaxy.

Its actually the last star in the universe, a universe former filled with quiet a huge number of now already darkened galaxies. (Our universe has approx. 100 Billion galaxies.)
As I understood the few bits of lore so far there are still some planets inhabitat by their former population, at least those who could not be exfiltrated or flee.
The stars are darkened out, so I think most populations outside of the Solus System will live underground now, with no life on the planets surface. And thats the lucky case in which no Varelsi roam the place.

I´d LOVE a “Great Almanach of Codex” with lore entries to further species, planets and history of the darkened universe. And I want to know what a lorrian looks like :grin:
