@willowisppsi said in The Problems With The UEF - Part 2 (ACU Billy Nuke Upgrade):
@ComradeStryker there's another use for Billy!
As UEF you can teleport into the back of an enemy base preferably into a back pond then get billy and then snipe an acu sitting in the water IF it has ras instead of a shield upgrade/nano. Only works if there's 1 ACU left or if it's a no share game, but I've done this enough to know it works!
You can, but unless you teleported with a T3 suite (and even if then) it'll take quite some time to obtain both upgrades and the projectile, and then the projectile flight time - assuming you don't stall on resources.
If I recall correctly, with 100 BP or the T3 Suite, it'll take an ACU exactly 100 seconds to obtain both upgrades (Tac & Billy) and build the Projectile.
100 seconds to not stall nearly 10K Mass and 675K Energy.
It's not cheap to build a Billy with a T3 Suite:
Doing so also leaves your ACU in your opponent's backlines without a way out, as you swapped your Teleport upgrade.
So, you're right that it has to be with one opponent left, otherwise, you're stuck!
@FtXCommando, correct me if I'm wrong, but you suggested that certain ACUs get a few upgrades swapped around?
One of which was the Teleport upgrade for UEF to be moved to the Right Arm, where RAS and Gun reside.
I'd love to see that idea come to fruition.
