Tribes Ascend - How to Wreak Havoc with the Juggernaut

[TheBeastGuy6969]

how did you get it on non steam game? i tried and it said it was old shortcut

[vol1tion]

@TheBeastGuy6969 I still use the old shortcut through Steam. Just click OK on the error message when the launcher opens.

[BOMBhollywood]

best f2p game i've played in ages. great video

[nerfbattothefacelol]

can't get over 9000 sanics

[ratcave]

i cant wait to install this.... 

[Kinlywarlock]

Juggernaught Spinfusor belt items are so beast I smack pathfinders in the chest all day with them

[Demo1233]

@SirDerpingston

It's cool, but don't forget, there's still a LOT to be changed/made to T:A be like T2.

If you played T1 or T2 you would feel what i'm talking about, it's totally different.

[MonkersX]

Awesome play. You clearly weren't having trouble racking up credits so I'd use the less self damage perk instead of bounty hunter. I can't remember if it's the right slot or not but I find it very useful to just be able to blast the MKD in and not worry about self harm.

[Demo1233]

@SirDerpingston

You never played Tribes franchise i guess,to be bubbling at something you doesn't even know.

Heavy is by far the most fearing class on Tribes franchise, the only who can chase a capper easily.

And now, why bothering? well, cuz if it's a Tribes '' game '' it should be like a Tribes '' game '', if you know what i mean.

[SirDerpingston]

@Demo1233 Why, I indeed never played the tribes franchise, and quite frankly I am very new to this "gaming" world. I happen to have stumbled upon this Beta, and decided to learn more about this tribes franchise. Don't take me wrong. I enjoy playing new games and I am very looking forward to this game. and I was referring to the fact that you have very little mobility compared to a Jumper for example.

[Demo1233]

@SirDerpingston

Yeah, do 1300 damage,

Now try that when chasing down a capper.

AOE and Damage doesn't work together.

[SirDerpingston]

@Demo1233 You've got a modified spinfusor that has Augmented speed and radius. sure, it has the weakest damage of all 5 (MKD,stealth,light,standar and then heavy in order) but it has 80% faster projectile speed than the other spinfusors. you can easily bounce 500 dmg splash if you aim correctly. ANd you're a fuckingone man Artillery wall, why bother chasing cappers, go brute instead if that's what you wanna do as heavy.

[EcStatic0011]

I really like your vids. Lot of info, easy to take in, teaches me alot. Plus you sound like a Good Guy Greg.

[SirDerpingston]

@EcStatic0011 >using 9gag memes

[SirDerpingston]

Actually he has a Health regen pack.

[SirDerpingston]

Dat mispell in the title

[vol1tion]

@SirDerpingston Not sure what you're referring to, as the title of the video is spelled correctly. And yes, I misspoke about the regen pack; thanks for the correction.

[SirDerpingston]

@vol1tion You're welcome :) It's always nice being replied to by video poster. My mistake, i thought you mispelled Juggernaut. And also, I gotta say despite the fact that I can barely run it, that my internet connexion is utter crap, and that I have no means of getting XP and/or gold fast in order to upgrade, this class is fucking great. If i could play more often I'm sure It would be a favorite of mine, because you're globally a Fucking durable artillery pillar with an insane AP grnade

[5thBearCav]

How well will this run on a 6870 at maximum settings?

[vol1tion]

@5thBearCav Depends on your resolution. At 1080p, a 6870 is probably going to run smoothly on medium settings.

[GigaClutch]

lol gaddafi at 3:40

[zusuky21]

You can also be on a high surface and raining down mortars on the enemy base defence

[hfuhguyum]

You're the Bob Ross of Tribes: Ascend

[cybercobra2]

oh and dont forget bringing mines.

[cybercobra2]

another good class for this is a doombringer with a fuly upgraded chaingun, fully upgraded forcefield, urvivalist, and fully upgraded armor. nothing can make a stance like a holed up doombringer. and what if that stance just HAPPENS to be at the enemies generator ;)

[elRampage]

your the worst kid ever!!! jk, i loved your advices. dayum ur sooo good at jugg, u got 3 other jugg chasing u in annoyance!! imma try this now haha

[Mustard170]

I really like using the fusion mortar as well, a mortar. It gets you tons of points and it is so satisfying

[canotolto]

While the video is great the thing that caught my attention was that you have wider FoV. I prefer to play with wide FoV, how do I change it?

[vol1tion]

@canotolto You can change your FOV under Settings -> Gameplay. I play on 120 FOV.

[McLolzable]

@vol1tion 120 :O dose it work ?

[vol1tion]

@McLolzable 120 works great for me!

[canotolto]

@vol1tion How did I miss this? :D Thanks!

[kwastimus]

Another basic Jugg tip is if you're playing attack and approaching the enemy's base, the Mortar grenades will explode on impact if you shoot them over a long distance. You can basically shoot them in large arcs at the flag area to take out pesky force fields and Tech turrets.

[InfestedChris]

@kwastimus I wouldnt do that. Just use the spinfusor to take out turrets and other base defense. More ammo. Hits every time. Mortar takes a few shots to dial in the accuracy and you need the ammo for infantry

[imonyourfacewoot]

Subbed. Cool voice, you play well and you're great at explaining things. Keep up the good work :)

[Cring0r]

thanks for this video dude,being new to tribes this sort of stuff is very helpful :D !

[SebastianPaltzer]

its a hp regenaration pack but still nice vid

[xtcfucker]

Good channel.

I know Tribes from the old days on the PC but never really got into it. Played UT like a mad man though, which the Juggernaut gameplay kind of reminds me of (hope I am not offending any Tribes veterans out there :D).

Got interested through TBiscuit promoting the game and this channel seems like a good place to stay up to date. Subscribed!

Cheers

[Oxygaunt]

Why not do a guide on all the classes? :)

[vol1tion]

@Oxygaunt I'll try to eventually get there, but it may be a while. :p

[deathcypher]

Excellent tips and gameplay of the Juggernaut. I mainly play this class and I will check out that brute.

[SecondFork]

holy crap that was some good streaks you had goin. nice commentary too

[shazbot16]

This is some of the best commentary/gameplay I've seen on this game. Keep it up!

[nothingisimification]

i also do the same,i go inside the base and when i see anyone coming i use my fusion mortar and blow them up but unfortunately i dont know how to use my spinfusor.lol

[c1cssource]

I take it you can use the Brute aswell as Jugg right? Only downfall I see with using the Brute is the lack of the Fusion morter.

[vol1tion]

@c1cssource Yep, I recently made a video about the Brute as well. Go check it out!

[c1cssource]

@vol1tion About 5 minutes after I watched this video I looked at your channel and saw it. Very helpful. <3 Thanks.

[Ven0m1985]

@c1cssource true that is but they have a bit more energy then their counterpart

[EdsEnemy]

@c1cssource better damage on heavy spinfusor, shotgun is a beast, fractal nades are great area denial tools, shield pack is hilarious.

[Cthlhu4President]

Don't you know who I am? I'm the Juggernaut Bitch!

[BeyondImmortalEU]

thanks for the vid m8, really helped, liked/subbed.

[Mrlaged]

I just unlocked the juggy today. thanks for the tips!

[Daneruuu]

Shorts must be a very sad, sad, sad man.

[jumbosmalls]

love these videos. would love to see other stuff too!

[9Coronas]

You're not very good at... You know... Dying...

Awesome videos man. I've gotta get this game, you make it look so fun.

[TheMadBlock]

I would have imagined the fusion mortar as being more of a long range weapon, given its name, but in this video I've seen you using it exclusively indoor.

[Eukatheude]

@TheMadBlock It can be useful even at long range, though it's basically a spam weapon.

[Dalesy617]

Brandon, I know this was a joke in your stream, but PLEASE do a video on VSAFing and general etiquette. Every single game I join is filled with people who totally ignore VGS commands and constantly llama on my runs.

[zviaditemp]

looks like unreal tournament

[definer0]

Nice vid. This is the only class I've unlocked so far, don't know what I should spend my tokens on now. I play more TDM than CTF, but still I'm thinking of Technician.

[Eukatheude]

Hey, would you mind if i added you to ingame friends? I need someone good to learn from :)

Also, what are your pc specs? The game runs horribly but my pc is more than decent (E6600@3.2 ghz, radeon hd5770, 3 gb ram).

[picassopainter2]

@Eukatheude I run an Intel 2.4 quad, 9800GT, and 4gb RAM and the game runs silky smooth on mine, no idea what's wrong with your computer.

[vol1tion]

@picassopainter2 You must be playing at a pretty low resolution if Tribes runs silky smooth for you on a 9800 GT.

[picassopainter2]

@vol1tion I'm playing on the standard resolution the game defaults to.

[vol1tion]

@picassopainter2 As I recall, Tribes defaults to a pretty low resolution right off the bat. I imagine your experience with a 9800 GT probably won't be very smooth at your monitor's native resolution. :/

[Dalesy617]

@Eukatheude A lot of performance problems right now. It is a beta after all. I'm getting pretty poor performance with a 975 BE at 3.6, 560ti, and 8gb ddr3. Let's hope they get that worked out.

[Eukatheude]

@Dalesy617 I've done some digging, looks like you can manually edit lots of settings from a .cfg in your documents. I've tried tweaking some effects, let's see how it works out.

[Dalesy617]

@Eukatheude Yeah, but the problem is, when I drop overall settings to medium, all the maps suddenly look like they are coated in mud. Like someone just dropped a piece of brown fabric over my screen.

[Eukatheude]

@Dalesy617 Yeah. And it doesn't increase performance at all.

[vol1tion]

@Eukatheude Sure, you're welcome to add me (the Tribes friend system allows you to add anyone freely).

My PC specs are listed in my channel description. Unfortunately, I wouldn't say your PC is "more than decent" if you're looking to run the game at 1080p. Try running at a lower resolution to increase your performance.

[Eukatheude]

@vol1tion I'm running it at 1680x1050, and usually this pc can handle much better looking stuff. I've noticed that changing the detail level has little to no impact on performance, so i guess i'll have to wait untile they just optimise it better.

[jumbosmalls]

@Eukatheude upgrade your RAM to 4 gb.

[Eukatheude]

@jumbosmalls What's the point on a 32 bit system?

[MJ1284]

I wasn't a fan of Heavy armor on Tribes 1, but Juggernaugt is quickly becoming one of my favourite classes. It's relatively easy to make up for slow movement speed, with little practise you can disk jump yourself to 160+ speed which is usually enough for chasing & Heavy Offense. Plus long range mortar shots are always satisfying :)

[emlmm88]

Vol1tion, you and nichts's gameplay of tribes made me obsessed with the game, sadly I didn't have the hardware to play it, so I made a deal with my mom that if I was able to get strait A's, then she would get me a brand new graphics card of my choice. My grades have previously been c's and d's, but you have motivated me to working harder and making a better future for myself. I am sincerely thankful for you'r videos and content on tribes so thank you! Keep up the good work, Mehdi.

[vol1tion]

@emlmm88 Awesome, that's really great to hear! Keep those grades up so you can keep on fragging!

[Dalesy617]

@vol1tion You are a saint man. A SAINT.

[di3inglife]

wanabe halo game...^^ stick with xbox

[BrokenContracts]

@di3inglife Trollbox for trollosers, TrollHalo for trollnoobs. And TrollHaloReach which copied Tribes.

[13heavymetal]

@di3inglife You retarded? Tribes came out in 1998. Get that Bungie nonsense out of here.

[Sirin111]

U kinda gimp uself if u dont use AP nades. They great in situations when enemy is zerging you, like on 6+ minute of this video, u shoot mortair in 1 corner, trow nade in other = PROFIT :3

Sry for my english

[SilentEcho8]

"That like button is just sitting there.... Waiting for you to press it". Oh Brandon, you so silly

[colorblind1333]

Great video. I just got into the beta and I'm loving the face paced gameplay. Could someone please explain exactly what the point of the base and generator is?

[vol1tion]

@colorblind1333 The generator powers the base turrets, inventory stations, vehicle station, and all deployables. Keeping the generator up is crucial for maintaining base defenses, and you obviously want to keep base defenses up to help guard your team's flag.

[antwanjay]

Do you have any tips for a complete noob to tribes before I jump in and look ridiculous? haha

[vol1tion]

@antwanjay Spend some time on the training before you jump into a server with real people. Ski around the maps and shoot at bots to get a handle on the game mechanics.

[Demo1233]

Well, the mortar now isn't so effective, the damage sucks, i mean, 2 mortars to kill a light?

What the hell is that? ¬¬

[SirDerpingston]

@Demo1233 It does 1300 damage AP, and 2600 to Vehicles/base defenses.

[3p1cWh1t3K1d]

*while hes killing base* Juggernaut? meet BRUTE!!!!!

[sk8ordy270]

Do you use Dxtory or FRAPS to record Tribes? And if you are using Dxtory, what are your settings? I use Dxtory and I can't seem to find a configuration that works best for getting the greatest quality with the smallest hit on performance? Love all the Tribes Ascend, keep em coming.

[vol1tion]

@sk8ordy270 I use Dxtory with the Lagarith codec. I can't exactly type out all of the settings in a comment, but I may do a video on it at some point.

[ixiah]

how come there aren't more pro's that are friendly/polite like you? O.o

[AndurNRic]

The pack is a HEALTH regeneration pack (it's got a cross icon, and it's supposed to make regen quicker). The MKD is comparable to the Pathfinder's spinfusor, but with a longer reload.

[vol1tion]

@AndurNRic Indeed, I misspoke in the video regarding the regen pack. Thanks for the correction!

[Darifor3st]

How comes i cant use my special pack? The default for pack is "c" and when i press c nothing happens , even with my energy on low , i dont understand ¬_¬

[camaro406ss]

@Darifor3st Some classes have packs that you activate by pressing "c", other classes have packs that are passive, meaning they don't need to be activated. For example If a class has an energy pack it means that their energy regenerates noticeably faster than the other classes.

[vol1tion]

@Darifor3st Yes, what @camaro406ss said. Some packs (such as the Juggernaut's) provide a passive benefit. Other packs give you an active ability (like the Jumper, for instance) or a deployable (like the Technician) that you activate by pressing C.

[WillStone072]

No moab. Unsubbed.

[ReyMysterio619RM]

Just wondering, what sensitivity do u play on... Having trouble with my aim.

[vol1tion]

@ReyMysterio619RM I play on 20 sensitivity.

[13heavymetal]

@vol1tion How do you do that? I have to use 5. And I use a pretty high sens.

[Kersmashx]

Dayum, you shat all over shorts in this video. Poor bastard.

[BrokenContracts]

We should Juggernaut assault some fools together.

[JohnprestonGC1]

Very informative, the class looks very interesting to play. Maybe I will buy it :D.

[camcam951991]

I read Havoc and thought, Havoc MOD? :P

[unknownandunnamed]

made it onto Tribes FB page. Good job man

[Harabec]

A new Tribes player rending videos for the web?

You've just earned yourself a new subscriber,

[Apothis]

Do some mortar tips! Like how to peg cappers running away from your base or incoming enemies. (especially since that cross hair can be a little finicky to accurately gauge how much of an arc you need for long distance shots)

[Ghaleon2004]

just added you ingame , try to give you some good fights :-)

so if we meet lets dance

[Ghaleon2004]

nice video - the enemys weren't hard.

[Z0DI4C]

When I get these streaks as a baserape juggernaut, I feel like a huge bully.

So I get them as a HoF. :3

[CarlosSpicyWeiner7]

is this game going on steam or did your friend just add it as a non steam game shortcut?

nice video btw, once i get more storage space i want to get this game :D

[vol1tion]

@CarlosSpicyWeiner7 No, Tribes won't be on Steam. We just have it added as a non-Steam shortcut.

[slickis]

Liked, added to favourites, subscribed and shared on Facebook. Enjoyed the video, looking forward to more! Thanks mate.

[Bac837]

Great video try and do one for every class :) I know this comment really helps you out.

[freaktard131]

Uhhh, the juggernaut doesn't have an Energy Regeneration Pack, it's a Health Regeneration Pack... 1:40

[vol1tion]

@freaktard131 Indeed, I misspoke in the video. Thanks for the correction!

[MrMashfield]

Disliked because you're not Taybeez and not using ninya pro...... ;-----)

[NJDreamer85]

I would suggest the Egocentric Perk over BH. I see a few times you hit yourself with a disc. That damage can be reduced.

[vol1tion]

@NJDreamer85 Yep, I switch back and forth between BH and Egocentric with as my second Juggernaut perk. Can't ever make up my mind!

[freakmean16]

Dude..youre the beast....Awesome skills, gonna try them tonight....what region you play??? btw

[vol1tion]

@freakmean16 I play on US East mainly.

[sashakid]

good job really good video :]

[XC4RNAG3X]

dirty triple!

[KalizVids]

You kill Shorts soo many times!

[Shazbot277]

I use the Heavy (Juggernaught) for base defense but recently started doing some heavy offense, could you make a video showing the best places to mortar spam?

Also, the grenades are good, just throw one in the opposite direction of the enemy and as he changes direction hit him with a disc.

[Talamira1]

Also, as a jugg, another role you can do, instead of being stuck inside all day, is to find a good vantage point about 100-200 meters from your flag, and bombard incoming lights as they attack. they keys to this are to learn how to lead your shots, and learn the incoming attack routes so you know where to place those shots. More then once I have destroyed lights in katabatic from the mountain tops simply cause they made the mistake of using the same attack routes enough for me to nail them.

[Talamira1]

Just a correction, I use the Juggs as my main class as well, and his pack is a health regen pack, not an energy pack. Brute uses the energy pack.

[vol1tion]

@Talamira1 Ah yes, I misspoke in the video. Thanks for the correction!

[Moulie415]

Do people generally use the default key bindings in this game?

[vol1tion]

@Moulie415 I've customized quite a few of my key bindings, but I'm sure many people just stick with the defaults.

[MrEifer]

You mentioned, that you dont use your grenades that often. Though, imo, you should. They are a deadly combination with the fusion mortar. As we all know, lighter enemies often have time to bounce away, even inside. A grenade to the opposite side of where you shoot the mortar, will score, if not a kill then a good chunk of damage.

[ragingscythe]

great vid, linked here by the official fb page for Tribes: Ascend. i've been struggling to play the juggernaut thinking I should be trying to bombard squishies out in the open, but I definitely see why it would make more sense to just occupy their base (i am terrible at making long range mortar shots >.<)

[Tamis2Hamis]

Isn't the juggernaut pack a health regen pack not an energy regen pack?

[vol1tion]

@Tamis2Hamis Now that you mention it, I may have misspoken. Thanks for the correction!

[pkonneker]

This is nice. I need to do this. Haha. I like playing infil in their base, too. But he is so fragile...

[Max27588]

@Vol1tion Some advice I'd like is, in your opinion, how the hell do you deal with a Juggernaut once one gets into your base! Because simple if you get 1 or 2 in your Gen room it's impossible to shift them, imbalanced if you will.

Sure you've given us good advice on how to play the class, but would also be cool in these videos if you gave us good advice on how to handle them aswell etc :)

[TexMik]

Coool!! Liked that! Especially the 3 kill fusion mortar strike! And damn does the name of that gun sound sweet! FUSION MORTAR! :) Can't wait to unlock heavy, been so long since I played em with Tribes: Vengeance! Peace!

[Rawrysaurus]

But Brandon, how u see damage?

[c1cssource]

@Rawrysaurus I think the newest patch added a damage text above enemies heads, this can enabled and disabled in your settings. C:

[Rawrysaurus]

@c1cssource Thanks bro but I don't play the game, it was just a little joke. If you have seen Shibby1242's videos you'll get it. Thanks anyway you kind sir.

[shahidee44]

Ranger Class Tips !! =D

[gr8in83]

Hi nice video!!. What video capturing software do you use for this?

[vol1tion]

@gr8in83 I use Dxtory to capture gameplay.

[methsor]

Solid video, good insights on the finer points of role and weapons. Keep up the good work!

[Darifor3st]

and what game mode?

[Darifor3st]

what map is this?

[vol1tion]

@Darifor3st This gameplay is CTF (capture the flag) mode on the map Dry Dock.

[bpost34]

~1:28 you missed editing out an "uh" - what a failure.

[vol1tion]

@bpost34 Thanks, conductor.

[DaAzassin]

If you could make a video guide for every class, it'd really help me out. If you could make a video guide for every map...it also help me out

[vol1tion]

@DaAzassin Haha, it may be a while, but I'll see what I can do!

[ZaZyFTW]

Y U NO QUICKSCOPE WITH THE INTERVENTION!?!

[kanskejonasidag1]

Great video. You've made certain that I'll play this game once it comes out :)

[ZaZyFTW]

@kanskejonasidag1 you can get in the beta right now by lliking tribes acends facebook page.

[kanskejonasidag1]

@ZaZyFTW Well yeah I know, but I'm kinda busy now with the games I'm already playin ;) I'm focusing mostly on BF3 and Red Orchestra and so on right now. Oh, and I must also play through Batman: AC... :( Oh. Why so many great games, and so little time?

[2tonearmy1192]

Don't forget that Jug is great for generator defense, if needed. Great video!

[Dextrizzle]

I like the Jugg. It feels like a more classic heavy and is a lot of fun. I still wish they'd give the Tech a spinfusor, though. =(

Another great video, Brandon.  Hopefully you don't burn yourself out and max everything before the game even releases.

[vol1tion]

@Dextrizzle Nah, I don't anticipate burning out any time soon. Every time I cap a flag or get a blue plate, I just keep wanting more. When are we gonna play together, hmm?

[Razzay35]

I didn't like this video because it isn't a MOAB-gameplay. In fact thats my main gripe with the game, I don't see how it will be a competetive title without MOABs.

[Snowbau5]

I seriously want to play Tribes so badly right now, but I didn't bring my laptop to Whistler... FARK!!!!!

[WHATTHEPOOOPY]

penis for your thoughts?

[iGotUrNoseHD]

OH BABY A TRIPLE

[ChildishSamurai]

Random thought.

[Ehyohh]

Brandon, I see you using the Juggernaut class but Dan likes c-skill and gorsair ram. Which do you prefer?

[Baelox]

Lovin' me some Tribes Ascend!



[WillStone072]

If you were to have a jib, I would almost certainly like the cut of it

[blairtr0n]

dom

[iAxX23]

Can your juggernaut get MOABs?

[emlmm88]

i want longer vids,
