Unlock and DogTag Questions

[Kensuke441]

Being that I play support alot, I have made my way to unlocking the Ganz. Much to my disappointment, I found it to be far more inaccurate than the Shuko for the most part and about even in damage. Does anyone else feel that the Ganz is as useless as I do? Or am I just using it wrong? Also, I have been wondering what the Pulse Meter does. I was fortunate enough to get it as a field unlock, and although I only used it for a short time, I couldn't tell what it was suppost to do. I walked up to enemies as they ran behind walls and activated it, and after the scan nothing changed.

Another thing that concerns me is the dogtags. I know to have killed at least 15-20 people with my knife, but my stats says I have only 4. And is there anyway I can view the actual dog tags, so I can see all the people I have knifed? :) Thanks in advance for any answers.

Yes the ganz sucks, and according to its unlock information its suppose to be more accurate and do more damage then the LMG but that is false.

For the dogtags and stats just restart your game or wait a while for them to update and to view whos dogtags you have go to the leaderboard and click on the dogtag box on the top right.

the Ganz H-MG definatly sucks and the PulseMeter is not used like a knife..etc, its used to see enemy behind walls (point and fire), try it out in the titan, works a charm every time! :D

I recently unlocked the pulse meter, but I have to say it's not nearly as realiable as I expected. There have been many times where I have activated it, seen no enemies marked by it, and proceeded thinking it was clear only to run into the enemy around the corner! Is there a restriction on what it is willing to pass through such as walls, fences, ect. I've even activated it when I could clearly see the enemy a few paces away and still it would not detect him in the scan!

ehh good tip i was hoping going to unlock the gahnz next but i guess not. oh well.

With the Ganz I've found I do better when I let it ride on auto...it has less recoil than the Bianchi. If I do short bursts like I used to with the Bianchi to dodge the over heat and the bucking, I seem to miss more. When I let it ride for longer, I tend to get more damage done.

I also think it's range is more limited, but the power seems to be there. Someone would have to guinea pig the hits and compare though.

As far as dogtags goes, there's something screwy. My stats update just fine, but yesterday I was on a server trying to get my knifing badges/pins, and I had knifed 6 people in the round when I lost my connection to the server for whatever reason. A while later I checked and all the stats from that server updated EXCEPT my knife kills. I have no idea why, and it pisses me off to no end, since I'm not much of a knifer, and I was going out of my way to track people down to knife them for badges so I could get them out of the way.

*sigh*

Yep, Ganz is useless, I got it as a field unlock and I don't want it ever.

Anyone try out the Clark shotgun?

[DiggerDagger]

yea, clark is very useful for clearing out the hallways of the titan or on the Camp Gab...(spelling) map. Picked it up once and scored about 6 kills with it on the titan, wish i unlocked it instead of the Ganz :cry:

The Clarke is great. Gives suport a whole new dimension.

Tired of getting knifed when prone and laying down support fire? Someone tries to knife you when you got the clarke, well, one shot to the face and it's over.*

* - Assuming you aren't prone somewhere trying to lay down covering fire with the shotgun and are in fact running around trying to get up close and personal like you shoud do if you're wielding the old boomstick.

The pulse meter only has a range of about 30 meters and only detects enemies in the direction you point it at (in 120 degrees or so). Also another thing to remember is that when you pick someone up on the scanner, it's only a static diamond of the enemies position at the time of the scan (i.e.: the diamonds won't move like they do when you "Q"->spot someone). It's useful for picking out snipers and to tell if there's somone behind a wall.

Also the Clark shotgun is just amazing, altough if you don't get a 1 shot kill running head on at an enemy, they will most likely kill you before you get a second shot off.
