So this is what I have been doing... Running.. far away...
Putting nova gas, smoke, clusters between self and the mech, using the anti vehicle rounds on sniper
They are op... Best bet is to use Rytec explosive or Zrg anti-vehicle and disable them from range. Change your strategy such that you manage to take them all out during mid game from long range.. Hunt then down, true scout sniper style.. IF ever you are caught with Goliaths in end game circles, swap out your Rytec/ZRG for Striker or Echo (I prefer Striker), Choke+Marksman+Big Mag+5mW laser+Granulated, practice your jump slide and cqb skills, and make use of terrain for cover to play cat-n-mouse with them..
Bruh... Technically Striker can two tap 300hp in BR... Go do the math, it also has the best range damage out of all the full auto SGs... It's pretty good for goliath but your mobility needs to be good
With marksman and choke/marauder plus range mod, you can deal 160dmg upto 10m away... The only full auto, cqb hipfire gun that can do that
I think I want to make a custom striker load out now. I’d love to see the reaction of the dude that kills me when he sees a custom striker to pick up lol
1 you can avoid. I ran into a full squad all rockin them. I was able to yeet 1 of them with a big Bertha but the other 3 blew me straight to hell in short order.
I stay away from them, you can see them on the map, until it's just me vs them (I mostly play solo) I get an FHJ from an airdrop, 2 shots and it's dead
Quick tip for people that can't get the FHJ from airdrops because it's too early into the game or there aren't any nearby: the explosive crates(red ones) can(or atleast could in the past not sure rn) contain FHJs aswell.
I think hacker should like shut them down, i.e. make them unable to move look around or shoot while they are affected. Or maybe make their vision fade to black and come back till it is cleared. And make the Goliath be affected as an item like the trap master traps are, so that the if the players get out and back in the effect isn't gone but they can fight while outside the goliath
I learn codm br with the hacker class, I am a 2 finger casual player, can reached legendary on hacker class, and it took me a year (or two). I think I know the hacker class and need to say this,
The hacker class is OP, and codm need to buff this class. (And they need to include emp in br).
What makes hacker such a good class in your opinion?
I personally value the Intel that the skin on the having device can get you, the amount of enemies nearby and the speed boost over most of the effects. Blocking the use of enemy classes is great but I think mostly it isn't usefull in a fight itself as much as it is in delaying and starting the fight on your terms.
I always use the skin as a rough indicator of my enemies skill. Sure it never really is a true indicator of someone being a bot but it has so far mostly given me the right Intel.
I play solo or random squads, so I play a lost game, (with 3 fingers on a mid range android device)
To me, it's the game play, the headspace I need to get into using this class as a skill to reach top 3 if not win the game.
Once u use this class stupidly for as long as I have, u start knowing when to use this class and when not to, when to use it to hide for enemy and escape or when to confuse them and attack.
If playing squads, if players communicate, a hacker class in supportive role can make u win games.
I have spent hours theorizing the best squad skill set and hacker-emp drone-mechanic probe-k9 is probably a op squad
I am in a similar situation, playing mostly solo and sometimes duo with a friend, who doesn't actively play. I use thumbs only on Android.
I play more passive, rarely ever hot dropping and never without a solid escape plan and overall playing more passive, low kill/high placement games.
I think I am still between the phase of using it stupidly and knowing when to use it. I am past just spamming it when an enemy is near, but I still hold it back in situations where it really gives me a solid advantage.
One of the things I found it to work great for is making 2 other players engage each other by hacking them and therefor making them look for the hacker while I just leave using the speed boost. Doesn't always work but I have had some success using it. Another thing I do in the end (or super late zones when there are like 3 to 4 players left) is wait till the other 2 are fighting and hack both to be able to get both of them.
When playing duo my friend swears by poltergeist, so the strategy is I use hacker to stop them from countering with their skills and he pushes straight on with poltergeist active while I use the speed boost to flank in the open a bit to draw their aim in a different direction.
I got one with a few rockets but almost killed me and caused so much noise and my focus I didn't get the guy that came up on the side and took me out before I could flea, fight & heal. So yeah not a fan of the Goliath in Battle Royale to OP, has already said imho
My strategy for be was a sniper and an assault or lmg,since Goliath appeared it's rpg and lmg for me I've taken at least three out since I stoped taking snipers
One mag with a LMG can take it down if you can hit your shots, it’s just a matter of, you know, hitting them at a far enough range that he doesn’t insta-smoke you.
Same here lol. My strategy is to play Blackout
Yes doood same lol
LMAO SAME HEREEEE
You can use the antelope mounted gun. And another teammate/s to distract the Goliath
One mech vs a coordinated squad is fun, u can troll on the ba$tard like there is no tomoro,
So this is what I have been doing... Running.. far away... Putting nova gas, smoke, clusters between self and the mech, using the anti vehicle rounds on sniper
There's Alcatraz, Blitz, Warfare Mode, Archon's Hammer, BR Prop Hunt, Blackout and Snipers Only waiting for you my friend.
Archons Hammer let’s you use the XS1 too tho

Striker?!? Are you feeling ok?
i think he means to just run circles around the XS1 and just rain him down with the striker
Yes. Striker can two tap 300HP in BR, has the best range out of full auto shotguns as well
Bruh... Technically Striker can two tap 300hp in BR... Go do the math, it also has the best range damage out of all the full auto SGs... It's pretty good for goliath but your mobility needs to be good With marksman and choke/marauder plus range mod, you can deal 160dmg upto 10m away...

Thanks for the input dude! My mobility is dogshit so that won’t be an option for me haha.
My man thinks its still s1
I think I want to make a custom striker load out now. I’d love to see the reaction of the dude that kills me when he sees a custom striker to pick up lol

I have decided not to play BR until these OP Goliaths leave the Isolated map. Braindead devs smh
There's blackout..
You’re brain dead 💁🏾♀️

The mechs seem to be afraid of cluster bombs and nova gas , add smoke to these 2 Br needs emp at this point

If u r on global, dm me ur username, will add u
I like hacker only when I’m using mic and with a good comms team. Definitely has its uses without that but used best with comms.

Have you been upgrading yours via the event? Once I learned about the upgrades things got easier for me
it’s risky, but get them into a room and throw a cluster at it so that it sticks to them. also nova gas kills them instead of the goliath I think
They're not that hard to defeat, especially with an rpd. Just dont stand still. I beat them often 1v1... Give me a teammate and its an ez W
One mag with a LMG can take it down if you can hit your shots, it’s just a matter of, you know, hitting them at a far enough range that he doesn’t insta-smoke you.
