I disagree. They're still the only ones with monster finding functions, global scan aside. I understand they even removed Bucket's head drone to this end. I haven't played many trappers but I feel Griffin's sound spikes are best for this so far

With the new changes the balance is completely fucked and Abe has become easily the best trapper. Can constantly keep the monster moving slow as well as keep track of it the entire game. I wish I had reasons to pick other trappers but now Abe is simply the best.
>>
>>345287102
CROW has the best damage but you need to be good with aim since it is pretty shitty weapon in terms of fire rate/handling.

Next comes ABE since shotgun is super-easy to handle and hard to miss

Maggie/Jack are the worst.

Hyde is the best all around hunter since his main weapon Flamethrower less limited by the range than MArkov's yet still does A LOT of damage unlike any long-ranged from Parnell/LENNOX/Torvald

The minigun is decent too, the only debatable thing is poison grenades - they do little to none damage unlike OP landmines but at the same time they are easy to use/cover more ground.

>>345287102
Crow and Mcree slow the monster down.
>>
>>345295171
Sound Spikes are utterly useless (just like Jack's Sattelite) now that you have Planet Scanner. However, Abe' darts are utter OP because they don't just telegraph where monster is, they allow your team to plan more strategically where to catch it OR, if you are desperate, you can dome him and manage to avoid getting fucked 1vs1 while the rest of the team catching up.

Harpoon is utterly useless since just like with maggie's harpoon it takes one lazy swing for the monster to get free and then instantly soar away. Most of the people who are experienced as a Monster no longer just waste the hit but they also capable of combining the hit with the intent not just break free but to hit some hunter nearby. Harpoons in any way only usable against absolute noon monsters. Experienced players rejoice when hunter makes a terrible choice to pick up a trappe1r with harpoon.


As for:
>His tracking dart requires you to first SEE the fucker and then land a hit
And? I don't understand the problem with that, you constantly see fucker in the distance and the tracking dart gun has actually LONGEST shoot range except any rifles. It literally comes as a second long-range weapon in the game. And if you are terrible at mouse aim well sorry then no hunter will save faggot like you. In fact, quit any competitive FPS at once you failure.

>Shotgun does alright damage
Yes, it does. So what's your point? Did you just add it to make your pile of bulletin points make more solid? Because it only show how weak your augmentation is: ALL the hunters are bad at damage and it is pointless to try to bring this as an argument in any way.

>One mis-aimed Grenade means the Monster will be sailing off into the wild again

Just shows how terrible you are.
Sure, they are harder to use than Crow's stasis gun but they are more powerful than spoken gun.

You just suck as a trapper and that is.

how to kill wraith?
>>
>>345287102
Griffin is definitely the best. Abe is good but griffin is a little better and more important in the team aspect. A good griffin can harpoon to slow down monsters and save teammates during attacks. Also, sound spikes put in strategic locations can basically tell you where the monster is no matter what. This is coming from somebody who's favorite characters are abe and griffin.
>>
>>345296654
alt+f4

You only have a chance of winning if the guy is a noob and your team is good enough to understand how to combat Wraith. Otherwise it is dead end.

Ignore all the bragging "I win every match against Wraith" here, it just really pathetic see these people lying on anonymous imageboard in the Internet (kek).

Wraith been OP since day0 she was introduced and still is. Most common mistake people still do is falling for Decoy. When she does that - you need to ignore the false copy and only look for the real version, otherwise she will be cycling like tthat in the arena, spawning Decoy and deluding you while Dome time is ticking.
However, knowing this won't really help you against a player who know how to play it. Once he notices you see through his trick he will change tactic: instead of running away he will be fighting alongside his decoy and concentrate on the same hunter that is being attacked by Decoy. This is where myth "Wraith is a no-damage dealer" quickly being debunked as she can easily KO the Assaulkt in one go and no medic can save it.

Basically there is no way around her tricks and your only chances are good team of hunters who can quickly capture her before evolving and monster player committing few common errors.

But if you ended up against someone who knows how to play as Wraith - your team skill does not matter at all.

Harpoons are the best wraith buster. Griffin hitting a wraith with a harpoon is basically a gg unless the wraith is really really good.

Having played Abe, Griffin, and Maggie I can also safely say that Griffin by far has the best monster finding ability, as well as best kit overall. He's a beast. Make sure to switch to the rifle instead of reloading the harpoon, as Evolve auto-reloads.
>>
>>345297659
Harpoons are utterly useless against Wraith, it is a common myth.

In the battle, you hardly see Wraith being in one place enough for Maggie harpoons to be useful. As for Griffin, she is fasr enough to vagiate in dome from one end to another in half of a second and if it is particularly complex terrain Griffin will never catch up with her .Remember, you need to be on solid ground to use Griffin's harpoon otherwise it just won't stick in 90% of the time (but you still can shoot it weird they never fixed it).
And the worst part is that she can move while in her attacking Nova state and it take only one hit to break any trap bound which means she never actually wastes any hit to free themselves if by some miracle you managed to catch her in harpoon.

So yeah, as I said it is pointless
>>
>>345296119
>Sound Spikes are utterly useless (just like Jack's Sattelite) now that you have Planet Scanner.
Do you even /know/ what the sound spikes are like m8? They pinpoint the monster's location reliably, and at a distance. As compared to Abe's much less functional (but still quite nice) tracking, which the monster can shake by running off far enough.

>Harpoon is utterly useless since just like with maggie's harpoon it takes one lazy swing for the monster to get free and then instantly soar away.
That's why you harpoon outside it's optimal attack arch you utter retard.

Yes, I know, I played Griffin before. His Sound Spikes have a very limited range that is marked on the map.
I don't understand the point of your remark, it is not a counter-argument to my statement.

Please tell us more stories about how cool are you, we are all eager to listen to random anon cool stories on 4chan.

They all totally true!
>>
>>345298182
His sound spikes are god tier especially on the smaller maps. I find you can get almost more than 50% of the map covered which basically pinpoints the monsters location. I find harpooning into the back of a monster a good way to make it so they have to completely turn around and attack your chain which saves a teammate from getting that same attack.

>>345298248
I'm not great at this game but I mean I find wraith easier to harpoon than a speedy kraken. Wraith has been nerfed constantly and isn't even the best monster right now I don't understand what you're going on about with it being unbeatable, it's strange. I came across a guy who thought kraken was unbeatable today too, it's wierd. It's commonly known that the hunters are more powerful than all the monsters right now and it's been that way for a while. A competent team of equal skill to the monster player the hunters will always win.

Hey /v/ coming back to this game. Had something like 70 hours before I quit. Are the buff spawns the same?

>I find you can get almost more than 50% of the map covered which basically pinpoints the monsters location
if you have a luxury to strategically pin-point your Spikes while chasing the monster, especially someone like Kraken or Wraith - believe me you don't even need to do so because apparently the Monster is utter retard and you can kill him blindfolded. In other case he is already stage 2 and ready to stage up while you were taking your sweet time to be useful Griffin kek. People like you is the reason I'm 10/10 Monster wins in Ranking Matches.

>>345298627
>Wraith has been nerfed constantly and isn't even the best monster right now I don't understand what you're going on about with it being unbeatable, it's strange.

Oh right.
May be the fact questions like that:
>>345296654
constantly pop-up not just in Anonymous Image Board web-sites but also official Steam forums and TurtleRock Talk Conference? it is one of the most common topic and you often see people just leave the game when Monster is Wraith.

But feel free to prove me wrong. Evolve is fp2 now. Make a throwaway account and go win against Wraith with pubbers, record the games. Then assemble the team of people you know and I will let you know a guy who is good (just go,d not even god tier, he just knows how to play as her that is...) at Wraith. Since I'm generous you will have infinite amount of tries to win against him until he gets vored with another set of pretentious hunters kek.

Griffin's best hunter IMO. Having him, Hank, and Val can be a nightmare for the monster. You're trying to kill the medic who's being shielded and whenever you try to get to her, Griffin can stop you mid traversal.

Nope.
With Hank + relaod bonus you can constantly shield all your teammates. once the manual shield depleted you can use Ability the a little bit of cutter and switch back to manual Shield again due to fast recharge rate. In most cases no one will ever get a strike in your team.

Man, I love Kala's design and concept. I'm not entirely sold on her kit yet though, it seems like her shield-removing ability is redundant? Outside of finishing a wounded monster off, or getting more crucial damage on low HP monsters it seems like most fights will eventually remove the shield of the monster anyway, making it useless.

The teleporters are also extremely hit & miss, with a focus on the latter. Nobody ever utilizes Kala's teleporter, it's rare for even herself to do so at my level of play. And it's not just communication, trying to encourage people through voice usually doesn't work.
>>
>>345302090
>it seems like her shield-removing ability is redundant?
The point is to make staging of the monster useless since when it reaches stage 3 it just a matter of time for him to wipe out whole team and this time being dictated by health bar length. Direct damage to healthbar make final fight easier.

That is in theory.
>>

That too.

It really just the matter of good team work when you and your team have a working set of tactics with her onboard. In pubs she is uselsss
>>
>>345303439
If you directly damage the health bar, the dome goes down faster. You could argue that it's easier to 'win' a dome that way, but it's high risk since you're sacrificing the equivalent of Hank's or Sunny's shield in order to do so.

At the end of the day the dome goes down just as early anyway, and bypassing the armor just /saves the monster time/ so that if he loses, he just loses quicker, and can have more time to feed and evolve for the stage 3 fight.

My point is to have monster with little HP at the end even if at stage 3. He HAS to go for relay and you don't need to use dome until all his armor depleted. THEN you can dome him and since he already has low HP it makes things rather easy from now on

I've been playing Evolve since it went f2p and I've been loving it so far. I'm also getting better with every match. However, I still don't understand everything. Maybe some founders / more experienced players could help?

Dome lasts until either the monster's shield breaks and you get a few licks in, or when something like two hunters are downed, whichever comes first.

>>How does the timer work? I know it's paused when the monster is domed, but sometimes it seems to be paused randomly.
You mean match timer? It is going on as long as you don't fight the monster. Once you engage it in the battle it stops.

When the Hunters are within a certain range and damage the Monster the timer pauses; OR!!! when the Monster deals damage to the Hunters the timer pauses.

When the Monster takes a certain amount of HP damage (4% at lvl 1, 6.5% at lvl 2, 8% at lvl 3) the dome drops; OR!!! if a Hunter is downed, 3.5 minutes is taken off the dome timer.
>>How do teleporters work?
Think of Portal (or Portal 2). The purple teleporter goes to the orange teleporter and vice-versa. Any Hunter can go through them, and the Monster can destroy them after a few hits.
Dunno how people don't understand teleporters... I feel like there's more to that question.

my average game I get 4-6k damage with the bomb and maybe 100 damage with the minigun. you need to throw the bombs when they're up and throw them to where the monster will be, not where it is. the only time you should use the minigun is to take potshots after a dome when the monster runs even then you should still use the flamethrower and jet pack boosts as much as possible though.

for perks use bronze item swap and silver+gold poison rounds.

just try both and see what you like. some people like warframe and some hate it, same with evolve. they're both free to play so why the hell not just dl them both
>>
>>345309261
Its more fun thats for sure, it suffers from the same problem of no endgame but its acceptable since its a pvp game

Do you mean Kala? She's a scientist who spliced DNA into herself, and has a monster hivemind talking to her. If I remember there's a good chance the monsters learn as much from her, as she does from them, in that the monsters are able to perceive through her human eye.

The monsters themselves I think are all extradimensional beings with a common hivemind, very similar to lovecraft.

Oh fuck i'm dying.

>>345309856
Yeah Kala, sorry. I know her general backstory, it´s just the reason why the DNA thing even worked in the first place had me thinking tha the Monsters are VERY similar to humans.
I just don´t understand all this Whatshisnames Effects mentioned here:
https://youtu.be/NlvtrK8qIj4?t=16m
I am just guessing that they are implying it is something similar to Human DNA
>>
>>345310185
Basically the Patterson equations were a revolutionary breakthrough that effectively allowed humans to generate power in violation of the law of conservation of energy. Kala managed to map the monsters DNA, by applying the Patterson Equations to it, which she states, multiple times, makes zero sense and shouldn't even be possible.
The Monsters pop up and go straight for Patterson Generators and Power Relays, but will ignore anything else that doesn't get in their way.
The Monsters DNA isn't actually similar to Human DNA, but it can adapt and restructure itself to anything, in any environment. All the Monsters have identical DNA, Wraith, Gorgon etc. All the same.

So the wraith is sexy because...?
>>
>>345291834
EMET voice lines are great but that fucking noice that he does when the demon core talks drives me insane
>>
>>345310768
Oh so that is the reason why the Monsters goal is to destroy the Generator.
I always thought it made little sense that these monsters should care about some power relay.
>>
>>345311492
Yep. Basically, what's most likely is that the Patterson Generators/Relays are pulling energy from an alternate universe, which the monsters are native to. They get pissy when people jack their energy.

Would you let him fuck you?

>>345309856
>>345310185
>>345310768
That's incorrect.
Monster's DNA isn't exactly DNA in pure sense, it is HNA - an artificial or what you can call man-made DNA. She did not "map" anything out of think air, she applied Patterson's to the complete DNA structure to isolate HNA pattern. She then injected spoken core pattern into her own DNA to try to generate anti-pattern I guess? Whatever, it was retarded.

It is nowhere mentioned in the game but so far community deducted that the reason Monster go for the source power and life on the planet for human -- Power Relays -- is because it is programmed into their DNA. And why would you program something like that into biological DNA? That's right, when you make a biological weapon.

First few planets (including Maggie's one) that were/are being wiped out by Monsters is just a test how it works. So far it's been working perfectly.

I would let him CRAWL INTO MY ASSHOLE AND BLOW HIMSELF UP

>>345312838
So Pacific Rim, basically?
>>
>>345313159
in pacific rim the monsters were sent specifically to destroy humanity to allow the aliens that made them to take over the planet. in evolve the theory is that the humans are taking shit from the monsters and the monsters want to stop it.
>>
How does the monster ever win? All the gameplay I've seen the healers shit out hp like crazy.
>>
>>345314549
Monsters usually don't win unless the Hunters suck. That's why nobody has Monster as their first preference at higher levels.
>>
>>345314549
Focus on the Medics? I dunno, most of the time I play Monsters the Medics can´t keep up the healing forever, they eventually crack and that is when you need to bring the hammer down.
Catch Hunters off-guard, try to lure them into better fighting grounds etc.

'cause you've never played against a decent Hank or Sunny.
>>
>>345315175
That is probably true that I mostly played against shitters, but in this case just focus on the Support first?
I´d say almost all Monsters have ways to divide the Hunter group and/or to single out a single hunter.
>>
>>345287102

The fuck are you guys saying, I always deal around 7k-8k damage as Maggie.

Wasteland Maggie can't dps for shit tho
>>
>>345315339
Most Medics have significantly more healing on targets other than themselves (only Caira is really any kind of exception to this). So focus on the Medic, and the Support keeps them up, focus on the Support, and the Medic keeps them up.
This is why Monster winrates drop enormously at higher levels. At "competitive" levels, Monster winrate is very nearly 0.
>>
>>345315175
So, regular Hank or Tech Sgt. Hank?
>>
>>345316037
Regular Hank for pubs, either for premades.
>>
>>345316065
>Regular Hank for pubs
Shouldn't it be the other way around since orbital barrage knocks back friendlies
>>
>>345316204
Regular Hank has stronger shields, Tech Hank has better DPS.
>>
>>345316303
I dunno, i found Tech Hank to be better in pubs since no one waits for anyone and overall it's a clusterfuck. Just shield everyone and shoot shit

I am spreading out my characters way too much, my highest are Wraith and EMET on ~18 or something.

Also am I doing it right as Crow when I constantly switch guns and fire a charged shot at the monster?

No single hunter seems to click with me, I wish there was kind of practice mode where I could quickly swap between hunters to see how they compare without being locked into a 15min hunt.....

You could just play Practice and quit out I guess?
That said they really need to bring back these Tutorial Videos, or at least let us look at the skillset outside a match.
Looking at and upgrading perks outside matchmaking would be also great.

You mean Practice mode?

No, thinking more like overwatch's practice mode where you could quickly swap hunters
>>
>>345319397
Yep, charged shot from Stasis then either normal shots or charged shot from kinetic gun.

It does not really matter though if you go for the health of armor. First will make it easier in future second will make it faster for the team to be able to do HP damage.

Also, only CROW and CABOT can one-handedly kill Monster when he has little Hp but full armor

You are at Stage 2 in like 3 to 5 minutes, it goes super fast.
In "Stage 1" the Monster would simply vanish from the map for 15 minutes to half an hour and then just facerape the hunter group who just stumbled around the map for that time.
