Heley Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Ive been noticing some odd goings on with tactical advantage for a while, but I've only really just properly tested it. It seems that my frag grenades, and overload shots are generating tactical advantages, however it's not 100% consistent and seems to be linked to carbine burst in some way. it basically means I can carbine, then frag, and then carbine again. I've been over all of my talents and tooltips and can't see anything that's causing it. I have 14 points in concealment and then some points in the medic tree (level 33). Is this just a really nice bug or am I missing something obvious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashania Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 You gain Tactical Advantage through using Shiv and Hidden Strike. You also get Tactical Advantage when you land a killing blow, i'm guessing your frag grenade is killing off a mob and giving you TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It never explicitly tells you how to generate TA as you gain it passively from choosing your advanced class, you can see it in your Skill Book though and read how it works.

playasaurus Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 It's a lot more annoying when collateral strike procs and you don't get the TA you're supposed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashania Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 It's a lot more annoying when collateral strike procs and you don't get the TA you're supposed to. TA is only refunded when the target is poisoned, ie Corrosive Dart/Acid Blade. However, though it isn't explicitly mentioned, this effect cant happen consecutively, it has a hidden cooldown. So if Collateral Strike procs twice in a row on a poisoned target, the TA would only be refunded for the first proc and you need to wait a bit before it can be refunded again.

Collateral Strike has a 10 second "cooldown", but if it does happen two times in a row, you get both TAs (Of course you'd have to wait 6 seconds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
