Also Assault Guards have better veterancy bonus's than regular guards and have 51 close range DPS so I don't know wtf the people who are saying they are terrible are on about.

Something tells me you are again spreading false information.

Part1:
http://www.coh2-stats.com/squads/guards_troops_assault_mp: that says it's 32.3 till 6 range.

Although, i think the site accounts as 6 SVT squad.

3 SVT + 3 PPSH: 39.717/8.052/2.325
Note: they don't use Shock profile, so they only do damage at sword range (6).

You want to compare it to another unit?
Assault Grens: 42.45/14.79/1.36


You know how most people say that Assault Grens are lackluster and don't scale to late game. Well, Ass Grens are a 0 CP unit, imagine them arriving at 5 CP.
Conscripts PPSH is not meta > Assault Guards won't never be meta.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Part2: Assault Guards having better veterancy than PTRS Guards.

Assault Guards: -29% RA, +40% Acc, -25% Cooldown, +25% Nade range
Guards: +10% Pen, +30% Acc, -20% Cooldown, -17%/-29% RA, +30% Button

Defensive vs Offensive edges. Not neccesarily better.


TL;DR: they don't have awesome close range DPS. Vanilla Paratroopers laugh at them at ALL distances for example. They have worst midrange damage than Assault Grenadiers, and they don't have means to get into close range in comparison to assaulting units (sprint, hoorah, smoke or armor).

Booby traps: you can put a squad inside the cap zone when an enemy enters. Once you leave, the booby trap explodes maximizing the damage.

Still won't wipe a full health squad.

i think what he's saying is that it does 250% (2.5*) at vet5. someone would have to look in the files to see whether it's 1.5x, 2.5x, or x+1.5x

Check the veterancy guide

Salvage OP

These Relic NDA's are absolutely ridiculous. If the game's audience wasn't small enough already, these NDA just worsen that fact. It baffles me why Relic never want to create any serious hype over new content. They have plenty of resources and free resources at that to help create hype but alas Relic has it's mind stuck in the past...

Anyway on the NDA, these leaks are bound to happen if you just invite anyone into the alpha. Relic shot themselves in the foot again it seems.

Just my two cents.

Unless they are too naive, it's calculated risk and should be part of the marketing campaign. "Unnintentional" leaks should be what fuels your hype train.

But as has been proved before, it seems as they don't believe on it or have the people to do so.
