My team uses obvious things for fast attacks: bikes or roller blades. I recommend them for neighbourhood fights (with pavement and concrete flooring) because you can use simple hit-and-run tactics here. On bikes, one should use a pistol-sized soaker (like a MAX-D 2000) since you need at least one hand to control the bike. Roller blades allow heavier weapons (but not too heavy) like Xp-310's or MAX-D 6000's. An awesome roller blade weapon would be a pumpless blaster (like a power pak or splashzooka) since you need free hands for control. Ne ways, I do not recommend this on grass or mud battlefields (you Don't want your new bike or shiny rollerblades dirty, right?) since your motion and control is massvely reduced. By the way, my soaker team is an elite team, consisting of only three members (me and two of my friends) and decent firepower. Me (commander Dew) usually uses a CPS 2100. AC typhoon uses a CPS 1200 and AC tsunami sports an SC 400 (I know it's pretty XPBackfire-esquepy as a main gun, but he's dang good with it&#33 ;) .

Since my water wars are just at a backyard, there is not much use of roller skates or bikes. Me and my friends do the "everyone against everyone" water battles. Everyone uses what ever they bought. Most of them use XPs and water balloons . They are very mobile and like to run(distance fighters). Im the only one who does the heavy gunning method, since I use 2 MXLs for every arm. 1 MXL makes people gang up on you. 2 MXLs will prevent people to gang up on you. Not to metion the incredible soakage(46 times the soakage of an XP, makes it worth walking arkwardly slow like Robocop or Mechwarrior).

Another good gun for roller blades is the ZX-1000. See the review Doomsoaker did for it. Now that I've finally see one for myself, I've thought up ways to use it in special situations.

Where does your squad live, Monsoon?

I just added a complete review for the ZX a minute ago.
The ZX should be a great gun for roller blades. Where did you see one? In a store? I'm going to check that KB-Toys that my mom bought it in again to see if they got any more.

A friend and I saw about three in the KB-Toys at the mall. I'm going to try to get a big brouhaha together this weekend or next and go in there as preparation for the event.

I can't find the pics of the box I took. Can you tell me the company that makes it when you get one? It doesn't say on the soaker, but I know it does on the box. The box also told you to go to a website for more info about the ZX, and when I went there, there was nothing about that at all. :blink:

Edit: Remember this? You should if you were at the old Aquatica iB.

I personally think that roller blades are better fast attackers, and it also depends on who you choose to be fast attack. I think the yellowjacket is a perfect roller blade gun, except for it's rate of fire

my science teacher and a kid in my science class are canadian monsoon.... anyways I'd recommend a max-d 4000 for bikes. I don't have one, but I know it's only a little bigger than a max-d 3000, which I do have. also you could try mounting an sc triple charge to the handlebars with duct tape. I'm getting ideas already.... :rolleyes: :shifty:

You can pretty much ignore the times on that, I rarely ever have Xfire on when I play. I should, though.

I'm thinking of building a slower (but faster than feet) "fast attack" unit. I was thinking of using a scooter with squirt guns duct taped to the handles for a simple forward attack, but if say someone came from the side, the rider would be in trouble. Maybe I could buy a motorized scooter instead?
