    Riddle Me This Batman

    I'm scouting a base that has alarms plus other systems that run off of the generator. I send in my Drone, detonate the EMP and it takes out the Generator meaning everything that is powering up that base. But yet the alarms are still active.

    because, tho there is one primary generator, there are generally 1 small gen per every 3-4AI opfor! if you want to kill the alarms, get a suppressed gun and hit their control boxes.. its the only guaranteed way to keep things quiet

    I'd much rather listen to jsocfrog's dialogue than the dummy AI squad mates, that's for sure.

    Yes, I do shoot out the control boxes. But that leads to another question. When I burst an EMP to a control box on an alarm, that doesn’t work. Seems something is amiss here.

    range on the EMP depends on the skill levels unlocked, at my level, my emp can reach 40m... but that adds a ton of "o s__t" to the mix as smaller generators and light trees explode when EMPd, thus triggering alerted responses...
    typically i drone everything out, shoot the alarm boxes and then go about stalking around. for fun i'll EMP the main generator... but from the max range the EMP will hit it from so that i dont "splodey" anything else by accident.... blacked out bases are a treasure trove of melee kills

    Yes, I'm quite aware of that fact. But it still does not work. What do you think I'm doing? Flying the drone in a random place and then detonating it? Please think before you reply. Thank you.

    Easy tiger. I don't think he was busting your chops.

    Personally, I found it quick and easy enough to shoot out the alarms and the generator. .....obviously making sure there were no enemies next to those targets that might be alerted.

    I never tried to take out an alarm with an EMP drone so I can't say whether that is a glitch or by design. Then again, I rarely use the drone in GRW myself.

    I know that. I was just having fun with him. He helps me out on most of my posts and he's GOOD on pointing areas where I can improve. It was meant as sarcasm only. I do the same as you. But there were a couple of times I could not get a firing solution on one of the alarms. Thus, I knock out the generator, and when I found out that didn't do the job, I hit the alarm. Niter worked at all. It's like going back to the "Far Cry" series, (Can't wait for No. 5 to be released) It seems to be a pattern in making up their games.
