Overheating and Cooldown Time

[ghost67 58]

Overheating my scope Is annoying and I have a few questions about it. I know firing bots overheats your scope, but is it based on number of launches over a certain period of time or what? Also, how long do you have to wait for your scope to cool down? I want to know so I can be more efficient with my launches than the players that live around me! =)

It based off of number in a period of an hour. For details, try looking at your faction strategy guide for how to maximize your potential. If its in there. Our strategy guide has beaver dam near everything it it haha.

Do a forum search for overheating there's tons about it. BTW 20 ish launches per hour. Its an hourly rolling clock that only looks at your deployments during the previous hour at point of a new launch. 20 launches of assault counts the same as 20 launches of boosters. It the number of deployments that get counted, not the number of bots. Most players, if not cubing, empty scope every 20 minutes. But with bigger formations that time gap can be less.

That's a nutshell explanation but sometimes you've gotta cook your scope to gain an advantage during a battle. :-)

The info here might be a little old but I think it's still current (except possibly bot/s numbers) and will give you a good rundown of how overheating works if your faction strategy guide doesn't have more recent information.

My tip is launch the bar wait 15 go again and just rinse and repeat works for me

If you repeatedly blow into the mic on your phone, your scope cools down faster

Ok, it won't but wouldn't that be a cool feature

[ghost67 58]

That would be cool! But I would be light headed all the time

Ill go ahead and verify: fighting/repairing only counts last hits. We intended to make a more elegant system, but sometimes you just dont have time
