Tactic: HUH

(RabidAnubis) #1

This is a very simple thing that will really help your team be better by…

[ul]
[li]Heavier Firepower[/li][li]Drastically Faster Movement[/li][li]Keeping Together[/li][li]Giving your team a few more seconds to set up defenses or a lock down on an objective[/li][li]Prevents people from having to cross a field for too long.[/li][/ul]

How? HUH stands for

Help
Ur
Heavy

And it is a very simple tactic that I discovered by accident, but then face-palmed myself because of how obvious it is. But yet, few people use it.

First, set up a team with your heavies as engineers or medics. Then, have one light sprint in the normal direction, no parkour. Then, have the heavy sprint after the light, and once the light reaches the maximum range for attempting to give a buff, press the buff button until your character has sprinted only a little outside of the range of actually giving it to him, and then stop giving the buff. Repeat this. Once you reach a destination, you give the person the buff actually for being nice.

So in short what this does, is let you go as fast as a light -3 seconds (You have to stay outside of buff range) This allows your heavies which are your primary firepower to reach a location much quicker…

Penalties:

[ul]
[li]-1 pip on your bar, maybe more if you do it wrong.[/li][li]Your heavies can’t be soldiers or Operatives.[/li][/ul]

Sincerely,

RabidAnubis, A Chinzor Heavy.

Wouldn’t that be HYH?

LOL. Maybe HUH is the hip version? Anyway Rabid that’s a nice little titbit for the newer players around here, its a real shame there aren’t more. Keep it up!

You can kill me. Do it now.

Kill me. DO it now.

Edit: I corrected it!

The sad thing is that a lot of the ‘Advanced’ Players don’t do this. And I mean the lights, the heavies try to do it as much as they can, I was more or less saying that you shouldn’t ‘Stop at the Spawn’ you really need to run out of it after waiting a second so that we hand it to you AND get a speed boost.

It’s as if we gave heavies a charge ability.

Help Ur Heavy! Great! :slight_smile:
I play Heavy on Fridays. Please don’t ask me why, but seems to be what I do. So, if you play on Friday and see me: Practice HUH! And I will shower you with buffs. :slight_smile:

I’m stunned that it took so long for this to be suggested. It’s a fundamental element of playing as a Heavy.

(RabidAnubis) #9

Okay, Fetter, this is probably a misinterpretation of your post. So I’ll post all five possible reactions to it.

  1. If your a heavy, I hoped I helped you if you didn’t have any prior knowledge of this XD.
  2. If your like, “Wow, everyone does this already.” then it’s also meant as a message to the lights about why we aren’t buffing them. Almost all the heavies do this that I know about.
  3. If your a light, thanks for deciding to help us XD We’re slow on our own.
  4. If your like, “Wow, I never thought of this!” Then that probably means that you have gotten Brink back since DLC.
  5. If your thinking I’m asking the developers to add a feature in for this to help heavies, it’s already there. Maybe two lights or one medium could help a heavy up though.

I thought of this independently prior to the game coming out (I preordered) and am surprised that it needed to be pointed out.

(wolfnemesis75) #11

Any sharing of tactics is good. We need more HUH. :slight_smile:

(RabidAnubis) #12

Well, I don’t really know whether or not your a console. But it was for the most part a message to the lights to NOT do spawn sharing of buffs, and to move so the heavies could catch up BY buffing you.

I’ve used this since the first thirty seconds of playing as a heavy. The bots were actually too useful for this. But I actually just realized why I was doing that. Which lead to the face-palm. It was so obvious. And yet I didn’t know what I was doing even though I was using it already, it took me until I played a few matches against humans to go, “Wow, I move SLOW.” Because all the humans are doing base buffing and then heading out, meaning I couldn’t use my tactic because I was also base buffing.

I don’t help them because they’re usually not team players and they rarely ever take the fall for another teammate.

(RabidAnubis) #14

Give the players a benefit of a doubt.

Here is a better thing- if they have a mic they are prolly a team player.

You know what? That’s a good tactic. PUT ON A MIC! XD

(wolfnemesis75) #15

Put on a mic! Must stand for POAM!
POAM! You must use POAM to win in Brink. And HUH. :slight_smile:

I seriously wish people would use more POM POM (Stands for Put on Mic. Get it?)

(wolfnemesis75) #17

POM!
We need more POM! :slight_smile:

(RabidAnubis) #18

It’s horrible how in a TEAM BASED GAME no one has mics.

That’s like playing without parkour.
