Dune Awakening PvP is being dominated by one busted technique - crushing people with helicopters

Dune Awakening is presently successful nan primordial ooze shape of its PvP meta, arsenic players deed nan extremity crippled and fig retired which weapons and strategies are nan champion for taking retired their chap man. In this crockery they've discovered a busted method that's beardown - truthful beardown that nan developers are stepping successful to hole it.

That method is many times landing your orniphopter (the Dune balanced of a helicopter) onto personification until they die. You see, a subordinate packing a pistol aliases powerful firearm whitethorn beryllium capable to outshoot a foe connected foot, but these weapons won't do overmuch against a vehicle.

While a buggy aliases motorcycle tin beryllium avoided by climbing to higher ground, an orniphopter crushing from supra is importantly harder to avoid. Add connected apical of this nan truth that landing connected a subordinate doesn't harm nan conveyance successful immoderate way, and you've sewage an ammoless, mostly skilless method of taking retired immoderate subordinate you find successful a PvP environment.

This script is perfectly captured by Bombe18 connected nan Dune Reddit, who provided a video of them being many times crushed successful nan Deep Desert. What's peculiarly funny astir this video is nan pilots look to beryllium letting Mr Bombe18 aforesaid revive each clip earlier crushing them again.

Later successful nan video, different orniphopter flies complete and joins in, astatine which constituent Bombe uses nan in-game proximity sound chat to concede defeat. To this surrender, nan pilots silently proceed to crush Bombe.

In nan replies to this video, Funcom's very ain CCO Joel Bylos responded to say: "Yeah sorry astir this. We person group moving connected fixing nan goomba stomping ASAP."

So location are aggregate ways of looking astatine this. Let's commencement astatine nan obvious. This is rather funny. Not for Bombe, aliases anyone other connected nan receiving extremity of orniphopter "goomba stomping", but for those watching it happen. Especially nan pilots, 1 tin only assume.

But it astir apt isn't patient for nan crippled either. One could argue, arsenic I was initially inclined, that nan crippled provides weapons amended suited for dealing pinch vehicles. The rocket launcher is nan evident example.

But, past again, should each Dune Awakening subordinate person to battalion a rocket launcher for a travel to nan Deep Desert, lest they extremity up for illustration Romano successful ER? The reply is astir apt no.

You could besides reason that nan crippled has only been retired for a short while, and its important playerbase could person adapted to nan orniphopter crushing strategy pinch techniques of their own. Perhaps wide take of nan rocket launcher, sure. Or possibly a modular believe of keeping a motorcycle successful your conveyance storage, truthful that you tin quickly driblet a motorcycle and hop connected it earlier you get stuck successful nan awesome limbo of orniphotercide.

This would beryllium much convincing if crashing into group from supra was an intended usage of nan orniphopter, and not an evident oversight. Bylos' speedy consequence and committedness to remedy nan business reveals this to beryllium true. So, arsenic funny arsenic it is to watch videos of Dune Awakening Goomba stomps happen, nan sooner this method is banished from nan crippled nan better.
