Choose your path, soldier!!

In UT2004 RPG (druids version) you start by picking one of three classes depending on your style of play. Develop them well and you will soon have a monster masher on your hands. Each has different strengths so pick a type that fits your personality. (important abilities and attributes are listed in order of importance) Finally, this is only a suggestion, mash your own path through this monster mayhem.

Choose a class depending on you style of play:

Weapon masters:

Style:
If you play UT you are already one of these! These guys are the workhorses. If you like running in all guns blazing this is the class for you.

Important attributes:
Weapon speed
Damage bonus
Damage reduction
Health
Max ammo bonus
Adrenaline

Important abilities:
Resupply
Vampirism
Loaded Weapons
Denial
Regeneration
Ghost
Ultima (if you want retribution for your blood)
Advanced damage bonus

Strategy:
Know your enemies. Live so you can return to fight another day. If you find medics make sure to keep them alive. They will let you remain in the fray a whole lot longer. Protect the main camp, then mash the monsters out in the wild.

Buy 50 ammo bonus and resupply lvl 1 right away. Get a lot of damage bonus and weapon speed. Distribute evenly between the two for maximum effect. If you want to fight tougher monsters get damage reduction and health.

Medic/Monster masters:

Style:
And above all do no harm! Yeah riiight... Medics heal people and are good at holding camp. You get one weapon with unlimited ammo. You cannot resupply your other weapons. If you like switching weapons, this class is not for you.

Important attributes:
Weapon speed
Damage bonus
Damage reduction
Adrenaline

Important abilities:
Loaded medic
Advanced damage reduction
Experienced healing
Adrenaline drip
Loaded monsters
Monster Points
Regeneration

Strategy:
Keep your teammates alive and they will keep you alive. Get loaded medic lv2. Buy experienced healing lv1. Spend all remaining stat points on weapon speed and damage bonus in a 2:1 ratio. You will need 10 adrenaline to get a medic weapon. If you have trouble getting that, buy 25 max adrenaline bonus and get adrenal drip. Medics can also summon monsters to do their bidding. Summoning monsters requires 3 things. You need to have loaded monsters and monster points ability. Buying loaded monsters gives you summoning charms for different monsters depending on the level of loaded monsters you bought. The summoning charm will tell you how many monster points and how much adrenaline you need to summon that monster. If you don't have enough monster points buy more. Then get adrenaline and hit the use button to summon your monster mashing minions. Try to summon them at the beginning of a wave out in the open for maximum monster mashing.


Adrenaline masters:

Style:
"Wisdom over strength" is your standard! Stealth and craft are your best friends. If you like sneaky combat or heart stopping adrenaline rushing action, this is your class.

Important attributes:
Adrenaline
Weapon speed
Damage bonus

Important abilities:
Resupply
Loaded artifacts
Adrenal Drip
Denial
Adrenal Surge
Energy leech

Strategy:
Defeat the most dangerous monsters so that your teammates can guard you while you charge adrenaline for your next attack. Buy loaded artifacts lv3. Buy 50 ammo bonus and lv2 resupply. Buy 75 adrenaline and adrenal drip lv1. Spend the rest on damage bonus. You will be hurting for stat points for a long time. You need to get a whole slew of abilities and attributes which you don't have enough stat points for at the start. This includes the following: Adrenal drip lv3, Denial level 3, 150 adrenaline bonus, resupply lv4, weapon speed 200, damage bonus 300. Use your globe of invulnerability and triple damage to your advantage. Take advantage of weaker monsters to get xp points. Rely on medics to heal you up. Save your adrenaline for more important activities, such as getting better magical weapons and charging artifacts. Be sure to reward helpful friends with good weapons and artifacts you don't use. At higher levels charge the globe of invulnerability and mash monsters mindlessly.

WOW!!!! I am very Impressed! Thank You Sooooooooo Much for taking the time to post this! Great Work! :cheers:

Couple of quick notes...

Players who have Ultima....be careful where u stand when you die. This redeemer like explosion has the ability to break other people's trans. (I was playing Train Station and was hiding up top, a rock hit me and when my Ultima went off it broke 7 people's trans up there, which left 7 stranded players at the bottom during a Titan wave)

Cheap and I have came to the conclusion that Lucky Weapons seem to only spawn what the carrier needs. So for example if your trying to spawn 10 Adren to help a medic create a medic weapon it won't spawn if your Adren is Full.

For Weapons Master- Summoing Charm only summons a Warlord (or in my terms a "Fluffy") :clown:

None of the above, for me. My class is and will always be Suicide Bomber. Max increase damage, max ultima. The frag requisite is dead easy when you've got that much damage and a minigun, then you run in and take as much crap out for your team as possible. The other thing that is useful for this build is movement speed - you want to be able to get to your best death zone BEFORE you explode. SAVE YOUR ADRENALINE! Use the Speed combo only when you really need it. Note that you're also very good at hitting objectives.

This build is only well-suited to ninja players like myself, who can dodge well and move with great agility. Besides, when you do damage like that, just use a minigun, you don't NEED to aim! ;)

On maps like chase, where there isn't as much use for it, I tend to find my happy place and a nice sniper rifle. :cat:

Ooopss.. We have switched games since you were here last... ;)

We are now playing Invasion not Assault. You really don't want to die in Invasion because then you are out for the wave. Better to snipe or hit and trans, than to suicide.

sticky this thread

I understand buying monster points but how do you save them up, ie I have a possible 5 points but my meter always says 0/5 so i cant seem to summon anything

To summon monsters you need to go through the artifacts. Other then monster points, you need the adren that it stats on the artifact. I believe the giant fly is like 5 monster points and 75 adren.

But how do you get the monster point meter to fill up?

Mine is always at 0/5 , how do i get it to 5/5?
