base spawn tube camping

Post by ascii »

so we all know that with the new patch you can spawn in a hacked base,
which of course will lead to spawn tube camping.

here's how to break a spawn tube camp:

before the base is hacked, bind to it.
after the hack goes in and the spawn tubes are being camped, spawn to the tower.
load up all your gear (pounder max :), deconstruct, reconstruct in the base.

then hit your SAY HELLO TO MY LEETOL FRIENDT macro and madly click your mouse button.



and from the official forums:

For the time being, we are fine with the idea of reconstructing fully-armed back to the spawn room. It makes the bind terminals a little more useful now. As with everything, we'll watch it to determine if its a problem. But for now, reconstructing to a camped spawn room is a valid tactic.

you know, i just thought about this. seems like a good (albeit risky) way to get an inf through the back door for a resecure too.

we should make it a standing order to always bind at the last base we capped from now on.
that way, defense, breaking the spawn room camp, and resecuring if necessary, all become MUCH easier... from the tower or an AMS!

spawn tube camping in a huge base assault only ever works for a couple minutes anyway. it doesnt take long for all those people firing at spawners to blow up the tubes.
