Mauser artillery

Geo skips straight to an Advanced Vehicle Plant and fields Mauser artillery from 5:57, much earlier than the role's usual T2 timeline, sometimes with Umbra jammer support, pushing into the middle and occasionally the enemy base.

THE CATCH, AND WHAT COMES WITH IT
  • MauserT2 vehicle artillery from 5:57 · 3% of role by thenFrom the Advanced Vehicle Plant. Only 3% of Geo games have it by then; others who build it get it around 8:29
  • Advanced Vehicle PlantAdvanced Vehicle Plant in 71%6% of all Geo games by then
  • Vehicle PlantVehicle Plant in 71%15% of all Geo games by then
  • UmbraJammer in 45%3% of all Geo games by then

Where those units first fight, in 48 games with kill data: in the middle 79%, on their own side 21%.

Those units destroy a typical 3,975 metal of enemy units by 15:00.

Then transitions into Jaguar (24% of army), Starlight (20% of army).

HOW TO PLAY IT

Key timing: Mauser out by 5:58

  1. Open mex and geo like normal, but rush Vehicle Plant by 3:58.
  2. Push straight into Advanced Vehicle Plant well ahead of the norm.
  3. Field Mauser mobile arty from the T2 plant to shell middle early.
  4. Add jammer support to protect the arty push.
  5. Ease into Advanced Geothermal and the usual Starlight/Jaguar transition.
