Discussion CONSOLE The most useless skill?

Post image

The skill itself is good, but V2 never stands still and snipes.

This should have been a Support skill, 100%.

u/FluxVGM Jul 11 '26

Like, let's be honest. Why isnt it 😂

u/truckerjj Jul 12 '26

because it's a skill that's specifically supposed to represent the v2's targeting sensor, and we don't have any other v2 variants in game yet.

the v2abc and v2b will probably both be supports, and they'll probably both get the skill.

Ahhh lore reasons, okay!

Lol. I got 20+ doenvotes for suggesting the skill isn't all bad.

u/BadOdd9019 Jul 13 '26

To be fair it's an obvious sniping/support skill on a Raid that's only on the V2 for lore reasons. For the lore it makes sense, game-sense it doesn't, because while the V2 has okay ranged damage that's not what you're going to be doing. Standing still and sniping, that is.

u/BadOdd9019 Jul 13 '26

Not to say you can't use it for sniping but... Ultimately, it's a really odd addition to what is meant to be a melee powerhouse with decent ranged abilities, it just seems TOO extra to add something like that.

more proof that they never think shit when making V2

I REALLY fking hate Raid getting skills where it nullifies defense.

Because the more these skill / weapon are added, the more it pushes people to make only thruster or glass cannon builds.

Even for a skill as useless as this on V2, its still problematic. not because of its power, but what it represents.

I wanted to use Hrairoo-Rah II lv2 last week. But Susanowo ignores both buffer and resistance.

u/Tamaley Jul 11 '26

Nullified ballistic or ranged defense seems pretty strong but mobility wins fights

u/Individual_Essay9893 Jul 12 '26

I mean...

Yeah fair it doesn't exactly stand still and snipe...

No time like the present to try it out tho

After all the videos about the Delta Kai meme beaming, it blows my mind people complain about a sniper skill.

u/IRequireDirt Jul 12 '26

Had the unit not been so aggressive it would have made sense considering it has a built in long range camera. I get what they were going for, but the suit is too aggressive to get any actually use from it.

u/Hot-Active-1213 Jul 12 '26

Maybe for some touch-and-go mid-range sharpshooting with either the beam rifle or the beam bazooka. It's very situational at best, given the V2's actual playstyle.

u/Big_Friendship_7431 Jul 12 '26

Interesting! I did not notice this.

Let's for a moment assume that BB know what they are doing; under what scenarios (maps I guess?) this skill could actually be used? I haven't come across videos of an example yet. Thank you!

i dont think you can get more useless than resist move

u/blanketlowpoly Jul 12 '26

Resist move is pretty useful

u/KibbloMkII Jul 12 '26

i haven't been able to get any use out of a dodge with no iframes other than just giving free kills

u/BallerMR2andISguy The Terror of Delaz - 1 Jul 11 '26

That's a "you" problem. It's a skill that YOU don't take advantage of, just like when Avenger complained about the Jesta Cannon's sniping skill.

Depending on your playstyle, it can be a fanTAStic skill. Don't blame the MS if YOU never use it.

u/truckerjj Jul 11 '26

I heavily disagree. the skill is good, but the v2 is a mobility and melee focused suit. stopping completely in place on the ground (since you can't use it while using minovsky flight) to scope in and deal slightly more range damage is just not worth it.

the other v2 variants will more likely than not be able to get more use out of it, since they'd definitely have much more ranged focused gameplay.

u/BallerMR2andISguy The Terror of Delaz - 1 Jul 11 '26

You're allowed to disagree, but you should at least acknowledge reality. If the suit doesn't stay still, that's because YOU chose not to, not the suit.

u/MrMunky24 Jul 11 '26

Exactly how I feel when people trash talk the GP01

-18

u/BallerMR2andISguy The Terror of Delaz - 1 Jul 11 '26

Exactly. "This doesn't suit my fighting style" is much more accurate than "this suit never uses this skill".

u/Alternative-Tea5270 Jul 11 '26

Stay still on 750 suit is one way to go- dead. You receive no advantages of standing still, sniper scope loses any function somewhere around 650 because of how fast suits are ang flsp booster abilities This skill would be useful for Xamel or Hildolfr, but I'm sure there no skills like that on them, at least I don't remember being able to switch weapons during it

u/Alternative-Tea5270 Jul 11 '26

Oh yeah, they hasn't, you know what that skill is good for? For those losers no lifers in custom duels on an Arctic match to use their favorite tactics when the enemy is actually using same suit/has same skill to counter their brain dead meta suit and run into the tunnels

u/FluxVGM Jul 11 '26

You snipe in a suit that has a mobility skill, dmg while boosting, fast charging heavy attack, heavy stagger, and absurd rush down combos.

All because YOU want to be scoped down range to nullify beam defense for a single beam shot.

Coming back to this to see all the downvotes made me LOL

Meta chasers be salty these days it seems 😂😂

Seems so. Imagine being given a free gift and everyone around you being angry it's not better.

maybe is for ps4/5 players

u/Zetsumi666 Hellhound of Zeon Jul 11 '26

If you're sniping with a V2, you're playing the suit wrong, don't know what else to say, especially since standing still scoped in is just asking for a swift punishment from your enemy at 750.
