Subject: Why do you keep falling for shotgun bubble shield combo?

Whenever someone throws a bubble shield in lone wolves everybody runs in it, even more so when there is someone in there with a shotgun, like it's a magnet. Why is this?

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

i still do it even if i know my chances are low, thats how i play just move for the kill, no standing still or runing back because i find camping annoying

You could, you know, find a different player to shoot at.

There's a psychological reason for it.

No one wants to wait for the damn thing to disappear. Sure, they could just target the next player. But as easier prey are often the ones who use the equipment and the ones running around are equal or superior enemy predators, it's much better to go after the weaker foe.

Besides, in campaign, every time a Brute deploys it, I can't resist. It gives me a chance to assassinate them without taking fire from enemies.

So how would one get past the Shotgun? Bait them out. Perhaps with another bubble shield or just drop a power weapon right in front of them and get to a better position so you can take them out.

Without looking at your stats I'm assuming you are playing low ranked opponents.

To mosh or not to mosh.

That is the question.

Personally - not.

I just AR rush in lone wolves and end up wining 90 percent of the time up to skill 45.


Objective is -blam!-.

I've seen this tactic used alot with the bubble shield and I think its because the bubble shield is used mainly defensively not as a offensive tool so people assume its an easy kill and rush in regardless.
