The Burst Shotgun is really useful at damaging and stunning close range melee.

Do you actually make these builds? If so, then more power to you, but it seems like you're pumping these things out faster than I can read them...

I feel like sturbanger is better made fly based, though. You'll never outrun a good land, so having high fly to simply avoid them all together is probably the best solution.

he probably makes a new bot whenever he gets bored. i do the same thing.

some go better than others.

Yea most of I do though they are not all lvl 10 yet and some are out of curiosity . (most of them are above 5 though)
Most L lands actually focus more on TGH and STR more than WLK. For example, my Saggi can out run most L sized lands. Though some do go up to 40 wlk, but not many

But if you insist, then how about short boost?

Personally I only like fly based ART when you have access to quick land, helps more in getting around.

@Trill, you'll have the same problem with either route, fly makes for easier time to escape to higher ground and exploit elevated areas. Wlk keeps you moving constantly, making you hard to catch in the first place. Both work, just different play-styles.

I'm sure he does Trill. If I can make 20+ builds in about 2-3 days with a few hours of free time each, I'm sure he can too.

Anyway, back to OT:

Are you trolling me with that shell guard? Why is that even there? Beam guard should be the one you're looking at, since most likely, you'll be outranging most blast related weaponry (unless a hopper comes your way). IMO though, a seraph picking on a sturbanger (hello antihoming~) is more likely to occur for this situation.

FLY or WLK; I think it depends on your weaponry choices it looks now. Preferably, I prefer WLK on my bots (flying up into the air and then landing without quick land=melee has you for lunch). You state here that the shotty stuns LNDs; do yourself a favor and keep it so that you can keep backpedaling while stunning em in their faces. If you do it long enough, most smart players will know to back off and score another free frag, or to lose their life soon after they're done killing you. Or, you don't get hit at all A lot of melee can be dodged simply by flying over them: I remember a Shino Nitro spammer tried to pick on my Dest in a lvl 5 room (so you understand this is how derp (and thus most) players act)... End of story: The guy died to my bazooka, and I only got hit once Go figure. Oh yah. It was stock Destructor with like 10 FLY XD

But then you say, oh but then FLY sounds better because you can jump over people's heads; true dat, but what if the dood in question was a VA with an uppercut hmm? I don't think that tactic works.

Now here's the conundrum. If you say, okay ngel, you make sense; let's go with the boost run idea. But while you boost run, your aim is already shifted downwards (and when you boost run backwards, you run much slower). So unless you play with enough foresight to keep this in mind (this will affect both your backpedal strat as well as missile volleying at AIRs; your missiles might hit ground if the terrain is sloping upward steeply), don't try. Or do try so that you do end up being more aware of your aiming Which will definitely help you aim better.

Personally, I'd say fuck both the guards though, and go straight for short boost+boost run. Short boost can help you get added height that you might need, screw up some aim, and screw up some melee who expect sturbanger to be a derp missile coffin. That, and it's always lol.

That and a few more things:

1) Try to tone that TEC down for the short boost. Also, dual rifle bits >>>>> missile bit. Go for them. I know you're going to be like, but I'm going to miss that damage... Trust me, living to shoot another missile>>>that 2-3 damage loss per hit that you're probably going to lose to TGH reduc anyway.

2) See if you can adjust to that 16 TGH. You'll need it because as a big ART, melees will come after you. Unlike normal Toyboxes and whatnots, you're going to be soft on the tough reduc. You need as much as you can get.

3) If he does have it, and you're willing to, grab broad radar. Prevention is better than cure; foresight is better than pressing the oh shit button. I'd be willing to cut down on a cap cart (holy crap what are you saying??) if I could fit that orange boost run, short boost, 2 EIW and weaponry for that cart. Hey, you'd also cost less that way when you die

Psycho Formula HD2.

It's missing from this thread...

I recall Suguri mentioning in Shaft's Psycho thread that unless it was tuned for 3x Great Range, it wouldn't be worth it. IMO, it's the same story here; this stur already has its cap tight on having such high walk. I don't think it's worth the guidance on the missiles/shotgun.

When I said build, I mean actually tune/level and the whole schebang. Not just throw the parts together in preparation for a build.

And as for buildwise, I'd still say to take fly over walk. You eleminate the need for boost run, you still have good mobility, and you have easier times positioning yourself. Psycho Formula HD2 is an essential part of this build, even if its just 1-2 range tunes. 3x G. Range puts you in the 500+ range, meaning you can safely shoot from way out of melee sight (combine this with broad radar and you can be firing on a target before they even see you). Psycho Formula HD2 builds do better with more missles (alpha striking with a shotgun wont do too well) so if you have Dugdriver AM's, those are nice.

Even 3x Range tunes (basic Range) puts the range at 427, while his core only has 300, greatly improving firing distance for only 95 cost (80 is base cost + 25 cost for tunes). Thats just Range tunes. Upping those to High Range gives you 481 range, at 110 cost. Great Range is finally 537 range at 140 cost total. You can adjust the tunes to fit your build.

Psycho Formula HD2 lets Sturbanger fire at a more comfortable range, eliminating any blindspot issues his missles may have. This works in tandem nicely with fly too, as many high perches are normally too far away for sturbanger to fire from.

Oh I see what you mean :< My mistake. I inferred it otherwise considering Skyr hasn't leveled em all up to 10 yet =S

Didn't know that about Psycho HD. Pretty cool. Need to get one maybe one day.

Also, I believe Skyr plays with limited RT last I checked. Does he have dugdriver/psycho HD2? o.o

Solid build though. Encapsulated all I said.

Yea I do tune them. You'll be surprised how much tune mats I have accumulated since start of official.
I don't have dug or psy...

Don't have it ,so it doesn't matter

I can do around 80-100 with one shot at really close ranged, I tested it on a Geo-G Mod and I stunned him until he ran away, wanted to chase him, but haven't tuned for walk yet.
