Any tips for cobal assault course?

(Sytry) #1

Getting the rank assault cobal course is difficult not impossible. I check several succesfully youtube capture and must of them switch over to steam controller which give you more change to reach the 1450 points then using a keyboard because the sprint is slow. Any tips how to finish it on keyboard.

Sorry but that guy looks like having energy boost for fast sprinting on that video.

What? The controller gives you an advantage, because the sprint is slow on a mouse/keyboard? I’m not sure if I misunderstood this… but to me none of that makes any sense.

His FoV setting is probably just higher than you are used to, it gives the illusion of moving faster because his vision is wider and is scaled differently. He isn’t actually moving any faster though.

My fault then is there other tips beside that video because I tried entire day and I reach only gold.

Just have to do it faster… nothing more to it. The Assault Course in itself is your guide to getting cobalt, keep practicing it and you’ll work on your aim, movement and efficiency, there isn’t anything else you can legitimately do.

ok

Conserve ammo. Hit all your bullets onto the headshots, so you essentially wont have to reload at all, and the last couple you can use the deagle to kill them

Picture Javelin and her pants waiting for you at the end.

This may be cheating but you can make the game fool itself into giving you two airstrikes a run. Run to the place you want to throw your airstrike, throw it and IMMEDIATELY press K and shoot the dummy to start a new run. The airstrike will actually hit as the doors open and your airstrike will be reset for a new run and ta-da you have 2 airstrikes a run, allowing you to run through some sections faster.

Took me the better part of 4 hours to get the score myself

Minimum scores needed:

All dummies
All ammo dummies
50.4 seconds or faster

General Strat:

Throwing ammo/reloading/q while wall jumping removes the movement penalty you get when throwing from the ground. You want to mitigate as much movement penalties as possible. Missing a shot or two is less detrimental than messing up a jump or failing to long jump. Don’t restart a bunch just because you aren’t getting a perfect 3 shot kill on every dummy.

  • Long wall jump the first hallway and toss ammo
  • Long wall jump the second hallway and shoot the dummy
  • Use the right walls to double long wall jump up and shoot the dummy
  • Turn and toss ammo
  • Normal wall jump into the building
  • Long wall jump up onto the pipes
  • Normal double wall jump up the pipes to the high platform
  • Long jump (NO WALL) over the rails while tossing ammo down at the dummy
  • Immediately toss ammo to the dummy around the corner
  • Long jump over the dummy and wall jump off the wall behind him and Q while jumping off the wall
  • Your air strike should toss the moment you land
  • Long jump (NO WALL) underneath the overhang and toss ammo when you land
  • Shoot the dummy and long jump up the wall
  • Long wall jump over the crate on the left. You should clear the crate in one hop
  • Toss ammo up and go right for a normal wall jump
  • Shoot the dummy, round the corner, toss ammo up while falling
  • Double long wall jump up the stairs, either like he does in the video (I hate this method) or instead by leaping off the left wall then back wall (much preferred)
  • Long wall jump off the gate to the right while weapon switching to shoot the dummy in the crate
  • Double long wall jump off the crate and wall, starting on the crate. Toss ammo down while mid air
  • Use sidearm to 2 shot the dummy
  • Long jump over the gap, switch back to M4 and shoot the dummy
  • Double long wall jump over the big gap while tossing ammo before you land
  • Headshot the moment you drop down, turn left and headshot the next dummy on the move
  • Long wall jump while tossing ammo to the last dummy
  • Pray you got it in 50.4 seconds

I had more 50.6 seconds than I cared to have.

Bug???

If you toss an airstrike marker at the 3 dummies lined up for it, immediately press K to restart, and immediately kill the dummy to start the round, the 3 dummies will die during the countdown and you can clear the course without having to kill them again until you restart or clear the course. I recommend against this kind of cheese though (and kinda hope they fix that bug)

That is good tip.

Try hard

Fail by .1 millisecond

Try not cry

Fail at that too because trying for 206th time still haven’t depleted all of your tear reserves
