Kinetic mines.

[Pankypops]

Well, after 50 hours of playing Arena Wars, I finally managed to unlock these babies and slapped them onto my Sasquatch. Let's just say how much of a godsend they are against pussy bike users.

Where once I had trouble dealing with Bikers, now they actively avoid me once they see the threat I present. Sure, some of the ones using a Custom variant try to kill me from range but I just charge them like mad for an insta-kill, or when at low health I hold respawn (Flag Wars at least) or commit suicide to deny them any satisfaction. Oh boi.

Off topic, but I will when it comes to it.

Yep, takes them out in one pop.

 

Don't get me wrong, I favour The Deathbike if I'm plannng on playing offence, but playing defence in the cerberus you need those mines.

Couldn't you have just purchased them without unlocking? The price isn't that steep

I refuse to give into R*'s anti-consumer "RNG unlock or f*ck you and pay double, if you don't have cash then buy Shark cards" model.

I see, thanks. Is it a permanent gun you can store?

[Gridl0k]

That seems to be the case, yes.

With this DLC, we're all giving in to that if we play/buy content from it.

 

Either pay double, or grind until a random unlock pops that we like the look of. You just got lucky is all.

Here's hoping you unlock the discount on the Kinetic Grenade Launchers, although those have limited ammo of 10 in Arena mode. Seems that you have limited mines as well, which is a bummer since once you run out of ammo in Flag Wars you gotta respawn yourself.

 

Despite liking the bike myself, I enjoy kicking other bikers off with the melee. So satisfying. Too bad you can't use bike melee in Carnage.

Wait what? I never knew that. You learn something new every day.

Actually you can, but it's way harder to hit a bike that it's not going in a straight line.

 

AFAIK, the modes that allow bike melee are Carnage, Wreck It, Time Bomb and Buzzer Beater (it even gives you a melee weapon).
