What is your stance on Martyrdom?


(bgyoshi) #21

It’s great against new players and terrible everywhere else

But so amusing to use.

It would be more flavorful if nader didn’t ‘drop’ a grenade to martyrdom, but instead just blew up the nades on her vest. So there wouldn’t be a flashy red nade on the ground, but instead just some fuse time and then kaboom. Make it stealthy~

Well it’s basically useless against players that know what it does, but it’s fun if you catch someone unaware, and even more fun if your fighting the nader. No better feeling than walking right within the range of a downed nader and then jumping backwards as she goes kaboom >:)

It rarely does anything besides preventing the user from getting revived - but once my body fell from the top of the 1st objective on Underground on a health station, so I’ve got a triple kill and also neutralized the health station.
That was fun :smiley:

It’s all fun and games until you blow up two teammates in Ranked.

Only time martyrdom can be used on purpose is when Nader runs out of ammo, but can’t reach to ammo box.

Check the spawn timer, run in to healing station and get focus fired properly.

If enemy fails to focus fire before she reaches the choke point, there goes the REAL martyr.

Martyrdom (and Nader generally speaking) is not what it used to be… I would like to be able to activate it at any time … tactically it would have its advantages :stuck_out_tongue:

And I want a Nader+Timik as primary weapon :stuck_out_tongue:

Surprised no one has mentioned how useful it is to do damage to things like generators/EVs.

I do it all the time at the half way point on Bridge when on the attackers side. Don’t even bother trying to plant a C4, just make sure the EV is pushed as far as can be, then suicide run the generator by jumping on it and shooting grenades at your feet until you die, then martyrdom… KAMBOOM. Do this twice and the generator is down.

I wanted to pick useful.
But then I realized that you meant “it helps your team” and not “it’s useful to the enemy because it’s 1 healer down”

Disabling generatos is easier and faster with the tandem Nader+Proxy (nade launcher+proximity mines), it takes no more than 10 secs.

For the ev I prefer Arty+Nader (2 artillery rounds +a couple of nades will do the job).

Do not forget to tbag the generator and the ev once they are disabled :3
