in Star Trek Online General Discussion
I’ve got commando and command running with the 2 pc nahkul and herald armor. Any other tips for how I can improve my ground performance in winter wonderland combat?

    My #1 tip with gearing for snowman hunter? Stack passive regen. It's not a HUGE benefit, but it's better than nothing.

    If you are having trouble in the WW, gear isnt your problem. They ain't making it hard!

    Yeah provided you have almost any Epic Snow Gun I generally don't worry about specializations or what if any traits I may have for Winter Wonderland. The only real benefit for traits might mostly come from those that help you run a bit faster during fastest game on Ice otherwise it not designed to be very difficult.

    But sometimes the amount you get frozen is a little too much. ;)

    Yea... Tips and Tricks is a good source for advice.

    Anyways... there are several different weapons you can get that fall into familiar categories. And a couple that are kinda hybrids.

    The nerf gun's primary is an autorifle, while the secondary is actually a sniper shot. So its a decent single target weapon. A good basic all rounder would be Flurry, which is an autorifle through and through. Freezing Mist is also good if you prefer split beams.

    @baddmoonrizin could you sticky the tips and tricks thread for the duration of the event so it doesn't get buried? I'd appreciate it.

    Yeah the basics are pretty much some weapons are multi target for clearing mobs while others are better for large bosses. Best to get one like Hail (Multi target) then get The Big One for higher damage single target. Some are hybrid's and offer a mix that various between their primary and secondary fire modes.

    @rattler2 Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to sticky threads, so you'll have to ask Kael. I have asked him if it would be possible to grant that ability to mods, but I haven't heard back yet.

    Commando tree, Miracle Worker tree and the Romulan Navy armour from Uneasy Allies are sufficient for me. At times I still get frozen but it's not like that is a huge problem...

    were any of those boards powered by vanilla?​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    the easiest one for me is to just throw on the Jem-hadar armor, it has one of the highest passive regen rates in the game. I think it's higher than RIN.

    Could be. For me the Romulan armour is more interesting though because I have that one on most of my characters. The opposite is true for the Jem'Hadar one: I don't have that one anywhere :p

    Never liked the Cardassian and DS9 arc that much, I played it a few times on my older account but haven't done so yet here.

    I had no idea either. To be fair, I'm still wondering why it's called a nerf gun.

    Could be fun for PvP: use it against a player and their gear drops by 1 rarity and 1 mk per shot.

    Nerf is a popular brand of foam dart guns.

    This. In the US, Nerf is basically like Band-Aid. Even as a name brand, people use it as a general term to describe things. So if you're describing even a generic dart gun, someone might still call it a Nerf gun and they'd know it's a dart shooter.

    I see. Well I'm too old to be playing with those... so I hope I'm forgiven for not knowing this.

    Oh look! Snowball fight! Bye forum, until next time.
