- Flash – right
- Harasser – left
- Sunderer – left front
- Lightning left
- Magrider left rear
- Liberator left front
If that side is blocked, will try to pop you out on other side. Seat position doesn’t seem to matter. Explosive Crossbow bolts - can kill ESFs in 5 shots. Change in damage type means no more headshot multiplier, so cannot one headshot kill stock infiltrators. Knife combo still works but you will take splash damage making it suboptimal for an assassin build. Drawing stuff on the map overlay - There are separate layers for personal and squad map markings, however ALL markings are cleared upon leaving a squad, even the personal ones. Engineer Deployables - All of them except mines will despawn if you switch to a different class. Hardlight barriers and MANA turrets are under the same limit, you can only have 2 of them out at once and deploying another will despawn the first one. Spitfires do not count against that limit.

Crucial info for when you're running a battlebus in the sunderer. A bunch of heavies ride in the sundy with their rocket launchers equipped. Pop out when the time is right and straight up delete enemy tanks

The Cosmos is an AI arm for the Vanu MAX. It's defining feature was high magazine size and low unlock cost, but in March 2019 it was given the Unstable Ammo treatment wherein the bullets are drastically enlarged in size making it much easier to consistently land shots.

Something for the info repository, as mentioned by @ Corenat Rovarnus : As engineer, if you have hardlight barrier, and reserve hardlight barrier, you can do a trick to place them closer to each other than normally would be allowed. (Hardlight barriers usually have an exclusion radius of like 1 barrier long). Place the reserve first, then the primary hardlight. That's all there is to it.

Place the reserve first, then the primary hardlight. That's all there is to it. This is called the 5-4 trick, since the Reserve will be in slot 5 while the normal will be on 4.

Confirmed: Using the resource(nanite) boosts you can buy with Merit points in Sanctuary will increase the certs gained from end of alert rewards. Activate 2 boosts when alert timer is at 30 minutes or less to essentially double your cert gains. That can be up to 150 even if your faction loses, or 250 from a win.

Flailing Around: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks8q7EUzRog Context - The Flail is a cross faction, player constructable artillery cannon with a 600 meter range. The builder can designate a target by painting it with a special flare gun, however due to arbitrary game design the flare cannot be fired into a No-Construction zone, which cover the majority of static bases. /u/Mumbert posited that since No-Construction zones are coded as spheres rather than floor to ceiling cylinders, a shrewd builder can deploy a flare in mid-air just above the edge of the sphere and call in a Flail strike inside the zone. This is done by flying over in an aircraft (doesn't have to be a Valkyrie but the hover and drop protection ability makes it easier), jumping out as a Light Assault with Drifter jets, then hitting the bottom of your craft with the target designator. The flare will not stick to the vehicle, instead "hanging" in midair, and if you are lucky enough you can jump back into your craft as it falls down on top of you and fly away before the Flail hits.
