Rune quake tips

[Jordan8211]

Can anyone here give me some guidance on how to be competitive in this game? At mos I play for 15 minutes until I get sick of dying. It seems the best way to get kills is being a rocket whore, but I'd like some other options. Thanks :d

Ride the lead players. Watch, learn.

Also, quit your job or school. They are taking up too much of your time that could be spent practicing.

You mean follow them in ghost mode? Your avatar is brilliant by the way.

I dunno how new you are to it, but it's Rider mode, which you access from the observer mode menu. It gives you the player's view. I think you hit 5? I dunno. I don't play runequake anymore actually

And ty. My avatar sort of represents the fact that I am an old quakehead.


^Someone made this for me, but for a white background.

Stick with the classic runes for the most part, IMO. Most of them seem to not be worth the time, aside from a few like Lumberjack which changes things up a good bit and is just fun - to the extent that you don't mind if you die because you had a laugh in the process.

And my avatar is far superior, I daresay.

Bind +hook to a key, make sure you have strafe keys +moveleft and +moveright.

bind a +hook
bind b +moveleft
bind c +moveright

And make sure you have the rune keys bounds

bind d "rune-delete"
bind e "rune-tell"
bind f "rune-use" <--- important

Beyond that, watch others and use the hook for most movement.

throw away stupid runes. Use trap runes right away and remove them. Keep good runes like protection for 5 seconds, vengeance, jack of all trades, etc. Hook around constantly and keep moving. Use the RL or gas grenades. GG

Runes is so not the game it started out as. Le sigh.

Practice, practice, practice...

(playing pong) thats my secret....

also, run backwards everywhere you go spamming gas gernades..!

riding others by hitting 5 in obs mode is quite good though...

did you every type commands in console to see all the binds there are?

Another tip:

Tell your ego to bugger off while you are attending the school of hard knocks. Then, when u graduate with a degree in Ownage, you can bring it back in to reap the rewards.

everything.

This is everything you can know about the runes. As for alternate weapons and hook useage, you'll just have to experiment and listen.
