What the fuck does the tracer dart do?

[zaneyard]

I read in the description that the RPG and the second launcher that they are "Tracer Dart compatible"
but when i fire them at things with darts on them it doesn't seem to do anything special.

nvm i searched google

Do you HAVE to shoot straight up, because that's kind of stupid

[Vandamguy]

this is a pretty cool trick , and you get 30 points for landing a dart

Is it just me or does it seem like rockets never home in that much? lol

they don't unless you are doing the tracer thing like shown in the video apparently.

It also probably depends on which AT weapon you're using.  Do the other two weapons home at all/as much?

[Maxon]

Well both the first two rockets are said to be tracer compatible.  The other one has targeting so you can control it yourself like the stationary AT. I just never seem to notice the rockets working quite as well as shooting straight up in the air and then instantly turning to the tracer.  I might have to test it more.

i honestly cant tell any diff between the first 2 launchers at all, is there an upgrade at all or is it purely cosmetic? once you get the tracer though it has the potential for rape (idk how hard it would be to nail a helicopter with them though, but that seems like the ideal scenario since nothing else hits them)

1. I think the green one is faster but does less damage.
2. I can kill helicopters easily with the one you can control

This is correct. The RPG is slower but more powerful than the Carl Gustav.

[zaneyard]

the RPG is for taking down tanks, the second one is not primarly and anti-tank weapon, it's made for blowing the shit out of walls that people are hiding behind aka "bunker busting"

[Maxon]

I have mastered the tracer dart! Once the tracer is attached to the tank, you can see the square through anything.  While in zoom, look at the square till it blinks and then becomes solid.  It'll also give distance measurements.  From there, you can fire up into the air and have it home it home directly to that spot.  Now I don't know if that's the same for the RPG, but once I figured out how the tracer work, I could hit practically any vehicle with the second rocket and really kick some ass.

I mean I saw the video, but it did not register what happened.  It could really use a light beep when it locks on.  That's just me though.

yeah i thought the same
tracer dart on heli=heli

[Tricks]

it owns so hard

no heli for you

[Turtle]

I don't need tracer darts to take down a heli

[copulatingduck]

esp if you're piloting it

whoalolololol

Meh, tracer dart is cool but having a pistol has saved my life many times.

It depends on the map.  Like the one desert Rush map with alot of tanks.  It's great for that first part.
