It's highly effective since ballistics penetrate shields partially and you'll be wrecking the smaller fighters through their shields even as they rapidly recharge. fully-depress trigger to engage 2nd stage) when you have good pip alignment for the BRVS's - this greatly conserves the very limited ammuntion on the BRVS's and keeps you in the fight longer in case more enemies appear. Use autogimbal all the time and hold down Group 0 fire when 'nearly-aligned' for the autogimbal to put the Gatling rounds on target (autogimbal is not a magic button, it does very poorly near the edge of the gimbal lock circle so you need to be close to boresight for good hits) and then you only press the Group 1 fire (e.g.

This shreds stuff, a pirate Cutlass Black won't even survive the merge as we close in on each other, Valkyries die in seconds, light fighters just go pop when caught in a well-timed burst, BUT you must do 2 things: 1) pay attention to your ammo count and rearm often, and bind 2 separate firing commands, one for Weapon Group 0 and the other for Weapon Group 1, setting the Gatling to Group 0 and the BRVS's to Group 1 - if you have a 2-stage joystick trigger this is an excellent use of it, with Group 1 being the 2nd stage that requires full depress of the trigger to activate. This gives you excellent 'paint that arc with fire' ability to account for desync or just not quite being able to get a perfect boresight alignment at times as required with the MVSAs, and keep it up.īallistic setup: 4 BRVS Ballistic Repeaters and 1 Revenant Gatling (the Hoplite stock setup, and the standard chin gun for the Warden).

I highly recommend changing the noseguns out for laser repeaters, a mix of laser/distortion repeaters, or all ballistic repeaters for a pure-ballistic setup. The main problem is the fire rate on those stock laser cannons on the nose is crap for their punch and getting reliable and consistent hits on light, high-strafe fighters is very hard if they get in close, and only ships that just cant get out of your fire arc quickly enough are going to allow you to make reliable, steady hits with the MVSAs. Stock loadout on the Warden is good for counter-Medium to Large ships, but will do very poorly against any competently-flown small fighter (Gladius, Arrow, Hawk, Bucaneer, etc.). The Vanguards fight very differently than a Sabre (which I also have), both in loadout and tactics. I've been flying Vanguards for nearly 2 years, I love my Harbinger and Sentinel and had lots of time in the Warden prior to those being released last year. I'll mainly be flying it solo.Īny up to date tips / help you experienced warden pilots may have would be greatly appreciated.įirst of all, welcome to my favorite ship in the game! They're great for a variety of missions, including box-running and stolen-cargo retrieval too.

What builds would you guys recommend, particularly in the gun department? I'm used to using strife mass drivers or Scorpions on the Sabre.

Stock seems decent, but I don't settle for decent and want to upgrade it specifically for PVP bounties. I've watched a shit load of videos, a read a shit load of posts, but most are very out dated and not applicable since the rework and 3.8. I've switched the the Warden, and I knew before getting one it was a different beast to fly and PVP with compared to the Sabre. It's biggest drawback for this use was it's poor QT range and I found stalking players across the verse a pain, with multiple R&R refuels before they logged off or someone beat me to it. I spend a lot of time doing player bounties, mainly for the challenge and fun, and with it fully upgraded, had great success.
