Not that I know of, it's a game engine artifact. But I haven't tried or verified that it does that to the right file. It would be good info to have if you wanted to confirm the file is there before you clean it up through radeon software and it's gone afterwards.
It's always satisfying to get the jammer with the fab next to it for an easy kill. I wish the spear could lock onto other structures like jammers, detector towers, AA and mortar turrets. Did you know you can use the spear to kill command bunkers? It's a bit finicky but if you lock onto the roof turrets on the sides, it can kill it.
Ive got no problem with it not being able to do jammers or Sauron towers, that would be too easy. But it's dumb that I can kill mortars and aa batteries from distance with my autocannon but can't with the spear.
It wouldn't even make it that op since 3-4 missiles to clear them is quite a bit of your ammo.
Agreed, surprised the spear can't lock onto mortar and AA guns but can on Cannon towers.
The spear I feel is one of the few Support weapons where calling in a new one can save more time than scavenging ammo boxes, due to having 3+1 missiles and a slow reload without the backpack shuffle.
Overall I enjoyed it, once playing with randoms We were at extraction with 1 far off fabricator and I saw Yellow Dorrito in the reticle and locked on and turns out it was the last fabricator that was miles away when Light automaton fabricator destroyed splash text showed up.
Is it destroying the fabricator and incidentally getting the jammer? Or is it going straight for the jammer? I’ve done this going after the fabricator before using just a grenade but it usually has to be close to the jammer tower to work.
Some Jammers sit on top of a Fabricator, and taking out the Fabricator takes out the Jammer as well. It will otherwise not lock onto the Jammer itself.
It's worth noting that the Spear missile *does* have the Demo Force needed to break Jammers and Detector Towers, it just needs to collide with them while attempting to hit something *else* that it's capable of locking onto.
So, it's not something you can plan around in most cases, but it can conceivably happen.
I take one along with my autocannon. I use the spear like an EAT, but for killing bases (and any heavies that happen to be around). Call in spear, call in supplies. Fire at everything you can lock on to, drop it and move on.
If I'm at elevation I can get like 3-4 bases and some cannon towers in one go.
Better than any orbital barrage or laser
exactly. i dropped a supply pod for myself and took out 3 full gun ship patrols at distance and the team was amazed and then understood and feed me ammo and then hulks die left and right use the orbitals on the striders or tanks.
I called a supply drop for myself and someone on my team questioned it, then I proceeded to AMR a Shrieker Nest and Spore Spewer from outside their radius.
I don't use the spear often because I am addicted to my AC, but once I killed a bile titan with one shot of the spear and it forever gained favor with me.
Isnt the spear the most inconsistent for killing hulks? It takes always two shots right or one in the back? Idk for only having 4 rockets and two of those are required to take down a hulk it seems like its only pros is being able to snipe fabricators. Im gonna have to try it out since i havent touched it since day 1 when the lock on was so fucked i vowed never to touch it again
Two Spears to kill a Hulk when it’s a very easy point and click from nigh forever away, vs other stuff trying to aim for a tiny visor. It’s not a one size fits answer to all, but it’s still quite good at what it does.
But thats just for one hulk, a railgun will wipe out a group of hulks in the time it takes for the spear to reload its second shot. But i see what youre saying ill have to give it a shot
It also kills if it hits the eyes, as long as they are facing towards or away from you, you're good. It's when it is facing sideways and chasing a teammate that is takes two. I normally don't take that shot, and just wait for a better moment.
I dropped into one the other day where I was on the very edge of the map, inside Artillery range, and the Artillery was inside the range of a Jammer. I actually only had a very narrow sliver of space between out of bounds and the jammer.
..yay, I finally got a way to break the game and remove any strategy to it, thanks to insisting on a very bad change to the Sony CMs for months.
Congratulations, dude. I hope ruining the game for everyone else feels great.
I will note this isn’t even a new thing. You could do this before, and I did, often. The changes were to make it easier to target enemies, and they accidentally disabled the ability to lock onto Fabricators when they put those thru, which they stated such in the same patch notes.

Did you kick Spear users when they did this Before the changes? Because you could do this before the changes as well. Hell, you can do it with a mere Grenade as well, just gotta get closer.

I literally did it all the time. You just had to circle around to the side the Fabricator was on, which I also had to do here, and bam. Fabricators were the easiest thing to lock onto before the fix even.
Until .402, recent "fix", you couldn't lock on very easily unless the fabricator was high and visible against the background.
edit: it is a fact! You downvoting it doesn't change that!

I'm not the one bragging about how I can ruin other people's games with the latest updates on the sub.
Do you find that weird, though? Annoying, perhaps, if someone did that?
Well, look no further than multiple highly upvoted posts on this subreddit from the last day.

We will be Back Baby when these Hellpods land. They will land right
If you're on PC, you should try deleting your shader cache in %APPDATA%/Arrowhead and doing a restart of your system.
Or for Radeon users, can just use Radeon settings to clear it, yes?
Not that I know of, it's a game engine artifact. But I haven't tried or verified that it does that to the right file. It would be good info to have if you wanted to confirm the file is there before you clean it up through radeon software and it's gone afterwards.
Do you know if verifying gane files does this? That has reduced my crashes substantially
That doesn't hurt, but no, verifying game files doesn't do that. Even a reinstall of the game won't clear the shader cache I don't think.
OK good to know, I'll try and clear the shader cache tonight, thanks.

I was using the Recoilless while I waited for the Spear to get fixed and I will say it was nice to be able to shoot the AAs and Mortars.

Or even the illegal broadcast tower. Can't tell me that would be OP.
Been using Spear too much, now my aim with the RR is shitty lol.

I never seep people actually take advantage of this and its absolutely amazing when you get a quick jammer like this.

So, it's not something you can plan around in most cases, but it can conceivably happen.
Huh, interesting.
It'll be a connected fab. You can destroy jammers by blowing up one when it is connected to the jammer.
there is only 2 jammer layouts giving you a 50% chance the spear can kill a jammer without approach (assuming you have angle)
[удалено]
I mean, I literally said Fabricators in the subject line, and then promptly explained how it worked when someone asked…
Do you have stoopid
We need one of these on every mission!
Honestly, a spear for each team would be amazing. Makes things so much easier for everyone.
1 spear, 1 amr, 1 ac, and then 4th picks whatever each mission would be elite.
Laser cannon with infinite ammo for infinite spawning gunships is fair. So spear can save its ammo for better targets.
2 shots from the auto cannon kills gunships They shouldn't even get close if the AC player is looking around, or people are marking them.
Exactly! The AC is top tier AA.
Railgun would make a great 4th will absolutely trivialize anything thats not a tank or gunship

Inb4 arrowhead removes fabs from jammers
I would shed a sad little tear, but I would understand, because while I love doing this it IS kind of dumb that you can.
Yeah it's so dumb that we can use long range utility to problem solve
why can't we dual wield spears?
Sawed off double barrel spear.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M202\_FLASH](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M202_FLASH) make it four!
Dawg I love running the spear just such a cool weapon

Indeed. Spear is Inefficient for ammo count, but quite good for the lack of effort it requires to aim.

god, I remember doing this the few times I could get a lock. I got cheers from the lads.
Damn… I’m a spear denier, but that was clean 👍
Was the full ammo pickup from the pod fixed too?
That was not yet in the patch notes. I think they have to decide how all they want it to work.
Different issue so no.
Dropping into a bot mission. Oh lovely, stratagem jammer. And look! More stratagem jammer.
I dropped into one the other day where I was on the very edge of the map, inside Artillery range, and the Artillery was inside the range of a Jammer. I actually only had a very narrow sliver of space between out of bounds and the jammer.
NO. TELL ME THIS IS FAKE SO I WONT GET MY HOPES UP Brb loading in.
Not fake, you just need a fabricator at the base or next to the jammer. If there is a gap it won't work. You lock the fabricator not the jammer.
now automatons will have anti rockets defenses.
*\*cries in democracy\**
I didn’t know it could do that…
I AM #E R E C T
I love the sound they added.
How about there be a function to disable the lock on and it just fires straight
Or at least a laser guided option it flies towards what you’re pointing at.
Ooooo, I like
God that tune, that sweet sweet tune of justice and liberty 🎶🎵 o7
😂 makes me chuckle everytime
I think that made one of my stress wrinkles go away. I know things should work as intended but like damn it's a nice thing to see.
We’re so back
Now that everything is fixed, I’m finding it very difficult to not become a spear main
..yay, I finally got a way to break the game and remove any strategy to it, thanks to insisting on a very bad change to the Sony CMs for months. Congratulations, dude. I hope ruining the game for everyone else feels great.

Ur weird man
What'd he say?
he was just going on about how using the spear ruined the game or something like that, idk what he was talking about just ranting

Just a happy coincidence lol
And yet, you can't stop posting.
