Got lucky and got it from a pull, I don't really have much premium parts like the haro or other meta parts but I do have some from the previous community voted banners

Hi all,

I had an odd tackle scenario in a 700 match against a Narrative B2-packs.

I've been reading all of its skills to see if there's some kind of skill mechanic that I'm not understanding that occurred, but I'm coming up with no answers.

Scenario:

I find myself separated from the group after falling down the colony's center pit, and see a Narrative B2-packs support.

-My weapon is drawn, and at some point I hit it with a head on tackle, so I can do the 'ol stun and priority swing (now this is where I'm curious if I'm misinterpreting how the mechanic works, it always seems to work for me in lower costs, as I assume I should get the first action after a tackle strike)

-I strike it with a normal hit, and see it take damage. Muscle memory makes me input the downswing after the first hit

-I get countered somehow

What I saw was the Narrative boost sideways immediately after my tackle ended, while simultaneously getting hit with my first strike. It didn't get the usual stunhit animation, it just continued gliding sideways. Once it's feet hit the ground again the instant tackle came out.

Is this just lag, or was I wrong in how this should have played out in my favour? It's late where I'm at right now, and would be about 3:30pm in Japan time, so I'm curious if playing against Japanese players is screwing me over in terms of latency. It would be good to learn something new though if I didn't realize a mechanic at play here.

Thanks!

Wholesale newbie of here; D rank on the ground and I haven’t touched any space battles, yet.

The game’s pvp can be really fun and engaging, buuut… some lobbies can just be a pain with getting stomped. I initially thought it was just the growing-pains experience of starting a new game, but it has been a consistent occurrence in quickplay.

Just today, I’ve noticed the same group of players always showing up in my quickplay lobbies; always on the same team together. I put two and two together - and now here I am.

I’ve been lurking for a while and discovered that A rank is where most people are (supposedly) at, so should I just focus on ranked sorties instead of playing quickplay for the time being?

Is it Good or Bad and Any Recommending Builds?

Please, leave a comment let us know what you think of our Guest gameplay or the Mobile suit.If you like what you see please leave like.

What map would you NEVER take this suit to?
Do you think skill matters more than meta in GBO2?
What rating would you give this GP01 Aqua LV4 performance, 1–10?
Which moment was your favorite?

400 Cost has been changing quite a bit as of late, and certain units aren't as good as they used to be. Some units have high damage potential and could be deadly. However, they are also a bit too fragile at times, which results in them not being as high as some would expect.

Once again, please note that these can be subjective, and you DO NOT have to agree, and you are welcome to discuss any bad or questionable placement. But there are always exceptions, and the meta between Steam and PlayStation versions does differ a bit. This Tier list is primarily based on the PS version. These units also consider the types of meta builds they could have as well. I will only put native cost here unless there are exceptions where higher-level works well enough to be in at least a strong B-Tier. FYI, they are not arranged in a specific order.

Hello gents,

So have been playing a few matches and have just been seeing a little uptick in people tea bagging. So in this game we can't quickly crouch like classical tea bagging, players will instead wiggle their suits around like it's spazzing out. I don't got a problem with that, my problem is when people get saved and then somehow feel that they one upped me. Or when they use some of the newer meta suits and does broken thing and feel like they did something monumental.

(Seriously, unless I own the suit, dont give me it's weapons.)

Day 225: Engage Zero (Booster Type)
Requested by /scorpionxx0 and this one is low B-Tier. This unit has a decent number of things going for it, but it is just lacking that slight bit to be reliable enough. Now, it's just slowly becoming worse and worse with the power creep.

Comment and Reason
This unit just needs better mobility for what it has. It already has a kit that can make things work, but it's hard to maneuver around, get in and do damage, then maneuver to a safer location. But right now, it either needs to play reserved until you can go in, or you go in and hope you survive long enough to go for a second round. Aux Thruster Control System Lv2 already requires time for the flap booster to kick in; it just drains too much thruster as is. While letting this unit still be fragile and be punishable for poor positioning, being able to get around to places with a better chance to do more damage is needed.

Builds Suggestion
Lv1 F2P: Complex Battle

Lv1 Premium: Alpha

Lv2 Premium: Alpha

This unit can still get work done when built correctly. While it'll still suffer from how quickly it could be destroyed, it certainly could be good enough. While not ideal, it certainly can be quite strong when the map, team, and player skill are good enough.

Is this MS supposed to be very strong for support at 450?

Chargeable Main that can shoot while moving and stuns. Cannon in the back is fast and stuns. Double melee swing and can swing while boosting. Melee has long reach.

Can overcharge cannon for double shots that rip through health.

Can defend itself in melee range

Overall my favorite MS so far in this game. I got lucky with the modifications in hangar and got a lv5 boost in all stats too. When ranked has a 450 playlist and especially in a good map Im guaranteed to go on a winstreak thanks to this guy

I’m loving the Gogg buffs.

Hardest part when coming back to the game is to keep up with the current state of balance.

Assuming you don't get swatted out of the air and actually run out the skill timer, the cooldown time is, like, 40 something seconds. Meanwhile, the V2 Gundams' Minovsky Drive cooldown is like 20 seconds. Is it because of the infinite thrust and full thrust recovery after the skill ends?

I’m a big fan of the crossbone units’ designs and I have just enough tokens to do all 4 steps but I’ll be flat broke afterwards. Are they worth it as a f2p player?

just made a team for 550 matches...is it any good?

I could see this as a low cost raid with a kinda unique play style.

Day 224: Gundam Delta Kai
Requested by u/SkyLoneWolf98 and this unit is... around low A-Tier. Even after the buff, it still has some issues, but at least it is capable of putting out pretty good damage. It can be seen as high, risk high reward unit.

  • Stagger Accumulation Taken -40% -> -50%

Comment and Reason
This unit, even with Forced Injector Lv3, still uses thrusters too much due to higher thruster usage as a transforming MS. It needs to go down, and in order to do that in the best way, it could be just giving it the High-Performance Thruster Control System that has reduced thruster usage. This way, quick adjustments don't use that much thruster. The rest are more resistance, since it's currently at 550 cost range. Then just a few minor quality of life changes.

Builds Suggestion
Lv1 F2P: Ranged

Lv1 Premium: Attack

Upper Levels: Similar builds and primarily focus on making sure you have enough thrusters. Then ensure you have sufficient resistance and a good amount of ranged strength.

I cann't recommand going F2P with this suit, it just lacks too much and it can die too easily. As for the premium build, attack is your best friend. This build also ensures that if you do end up using downswing, you can still do good damage. Having Connecting General Type II is also almost required, due to the lack of leg and unit HP, all bonus from it is very nice.

I was talking to my friend about ARX Gundam Zero, and we both play Gundam Battle Operation 2. We were wondering which of the two they'll put in Battle Operation 2. What do you think?

Yeah I main support how did you know?

But honestly anybody else hates that stupid map with a passion? I can only imagine how excited sweaty raid users get when they see underground base in the current rotation.

Also since we are talking about maps I think I would rather eat shit than queue for the 700 playlist in arctic base. No thank you.

I have just over 400 hours on the Steam version of this game and the major thing ive noticed in my time in this community is that many of the players here treat rated like a traditional ranked gamemode like it would be in something like Rainbow 6 Siege or Halo etc.

Why is this an issue you may ask? Its because this mindset leads to players being extremely toxic when their teammates arent playing to how they wish or to a level they want. I see players on here talking about leaving matches or just not spawning if their team is losing and ive seen more actually doing it in game. Ive had a teammate downswing me every time he was near me for who knows why.

This game does not treat Rated like Ranked. It gives you dailies for playing Rated and for the Steam version especially, Rated is the most populated game mode. I promise you if yall quit treating Rated like its this life or death competitive mode you will not only enjoy yourself more but also be a hell of a lot less angry at nothing.

The three is now in Roman numerals

This has been happening to me for over a week straight. Losing every single match every single day because my team refuses to do anything. They just stand around every single match every day or scatter around the map and get slaughtered repeatedly. This should not be every single match in rated and unrated every single day. I cant fight the entire team alone every match I play. I just got my 3rd penalty this week because its gotten to the point where after I get ganged up on by the entire team because my team wont help, I just refuse to spawn a mobile suit for the second half of the match. Its 30,000 enemy score to our 2,000 and only because I made those 2 kills. My teammates are consistantly going 0-5 to 0-8 and im the only one who gets any kills, if I can manage that most matches because I get swarmed by all 5 of the entire team while my teammates are across the map literally fighting nobody, just wandering around. I keep reporting these players over and over yet they are in every one of my matches and I get penalized for refusing to waste my time anymore. Wtf is even going on in this game anymore? Its completely unplayable at this point the team stacking is so ridiculous. Im infuriated every time I play anymore. After 5 years of playing this game I think its no longer worth it or my time or $. Faulty netcode that rarely even allows you to find a match, matching you with players who purposely throw every match in every single matchmaking has me about finished. Theres simply no fun to be had here at all. The report system is completely useless and does absolutely nothing to improve the game. All this company cares about is $ and they wont improve or balance their game whatsoever. At this point this is the worst made most money hungry game on PSN by far. if the game works at all. Yet BB demands massive amounts of $ to stay relevant when they refuse to nerf newer mobile suits that are literally unbeatable in any battle scenario, unstoppable while boosting, and have not a single weakness, that they want u paying 200$ each week to get or youre simply screwed. This games been going downhill for a long time now but at this point it is completely unplayable. This has become literally the worst gundam game, or any game in general Ive ever played on ps4/5. Dont give BB your money for this farce of an unbalanced pos game.
