Cactus trick and Hexagon trick.

Maybe you already knew, it, however, I finally found out how to do cactus trick (and hexagon trick) on Shell Shock live 2.

First off, you need you and the enemy being on the very flat ground. Once you got this spot, there are several ways to do the trick but personally I think the following is the best:

1) as for cactus, you get near the enemy with a distance corresponding EXACTLY to the length of a tank and shoot the cactus with 10 angle (or 170) with power at 55.

2) as for hexagon, you get near the enemy with a distance corresponding EXACTLY to the DOUBLE length of a tank and shoot the hexagon with 10 angle (or 170) with power at 55.

You may check it out in the firing range, it isn't very easy to get it right at first times and some practice is required.

 

I knew it (wondering who told me).

 

You sir are doing the lord's work. Thank you.

 

Atara2 once did this too me.....Guys, this really works!!!

 

Cloaca has a much better and easier method. But still very nice frank

 

Thanks, now I can level up my cactus.

 

Its kind of weird but for some reason the cactus doesn't work on the 10 angle side but it does on the 170 angle side. Doesnt make sense but oh well.

 

It does work for me..

 

I really wonder why kChamp had to remove the Cactus and Wild One trick in SSL1....Well, Wild One could deal exactly 200 damage but Cactus only deal 130. I mean, I don't think it had to be fixed.

 

This me doing the trick in the firing range.

 

Nice, that looks more understandable. But can I ask you, why does your terrain have an aura?

 

What do you mean? It always does....On all maps and on all quality settings.

 

What is the quality do you usually play with? I play with Low, I hate when the screen shakes each time the weapon explodes. I don't have that kind of aura at all.

 

It works on low....But you might not have the 1.5.1 update.

 

What? I play on Facebook and it's v.1.5

 

You should inform everybody about the blunderbuss trick as well now you are at it already, Tank. Hal0 told me how it works, do you too?

 

Why don't you do that?

I don't know what blunderbuss trick you're talking about, I usually shoot it on a flat map at 0 (or 180) degrees and it does decent damage, but I wouldn't call it a trick...

 

Shouldn't Blunderbuss bounce off the map like Lightstrike do? Then it would be better rather than only it being useful with the flat map.

Hooray! This is my 1111th post! *ClapClapClap*

 

It's kind of a trick, you have to stand like 3 tanklengths away and fire it with low power, I suggest 15. I didn't know this until halo told so it is kind of a trick

 

What is the angle? 0/180?

Also, what's the point with shooting at low power? Doesn't blunderbuss go always at the same speed without depending on the power you set it up?

 

Yeah but still.. its a matter of opinion... and yes angle 0/180.

 

When shooting cactus 170 degrees it works every time, but not even once on 10. :/

 

it has worked both times for me...love the trick..!!

 

When I went to the firing range to try this, I immediately got dissapointed when I looked and realized that since I am prestige 2 level 14 it is 2 levels away.

 

Same (except the level - I'm prestige 1 level 12)
