Hacker is a useful tool but it is very limited, i can see the concept of it, you see a laser in an enemy spawn you hack it and get 1 or 2 kills.  But the bad part is, you have to buy a new one, what's the point of that when you don't even have to use the perk to just build a new structure, and it takes forever to get rift energy in order to hack it.  Hacker should be able to hack for half the amount of rift energy, im not the only one right?

maybe you should use it as a situational skill,like if ur getting baseraped and  the enemy is building in ur base.also i would take ur favorite troop weapon with me at all times and hack turrents first that way your hacks get u kills while your killing with ur troop weapons or vehicles.that way ur building rift energy constantly.also if u pass a rift barrel stop&shoot it.But i  dunno man i dont really use hAcker.

[MicroMzryo]

Exactly! you don't use it because it is not a quick skill it is basically a waiting game for someone to rape you to use it and a wait game to get rift energy.

[Detroitmademe]

how much rift does it cost to hack a turrent?

[MicroMzryo]

As much as it takes to build one.

[Detroitmademe]

o didnt know that.yea thats a little high.seems like its a good skill for a new player to use but theres just some many other skills that we can use that can b more potent.Hacker sounds a little limited.seems only useful if the enemy's buiding n ur base.

[MicroMzryo]

YES i'm not the only one!!!! #ForeverAlone

[Detroitmademe]

yea if ur a groundpounder offensively i suggest using bruiser or rift affinity&defensevly maybe gather more rift energy.use those skills the majority of the game and when a certain situation arises,switch skills accordingly.

[MicroMzryo]

dude if it was that easy i would. I used bruiser for a long time and it basically ruined ground pounder

Like some other skills, Hacker has its moments where it feels awesome and those that make it feel useless.

Halving the costs to hack stuff is a no no since it will make you take everything way easier. (If it was like that I would always have it on)

Example: A bunker costs 4 with your suggestion it would be hacked by 2, making it so you can own people inside a bunker and claim it as your own at the same time just for a dirt cheap cost.

Only the torpedo can obliterate a bunker and everyone in side, but on the torp you have to wait till it re spawns and charge it and it wont give you a bunker of your own once your done.
