The worst thing is that if you are downed on the caretaker, you can't be revived unless you're close to the middle of it. (Because you don't spin with it when you're on it, but you do when you're downed)
if you launch the mine head and you grappling hook onto the bottom of it before it leaves the cave and hold the grapple button, you will stay floating in mid air, you wont be able to shoot so its pretty useless but it makes you completely invulnerable to mele enemies
if only there was a class that had a traversal tool that made god spots. like maybe a really slow grappling hook. would really make things a lot easier edit: I just wanted to bring up ziplines sarcastically since they pertained to the subject matter pretty well
Zipline perching is another subject entirely. Being on a zip actively diverts all ranged enemy aggression to you, so while it does have the same effect on melee units, it’s forces every ranged enemy to target you. And when you’re too paranoid about acid spitters to look down, you aren’t exactly being useful.
@@AxisKronos I was under the impression that any god spot diverts all ranged enemy aggression to you, is that not the case? Imo zips are useful, but just like many god-spots the best use of them is to get a bit of breathing room before jumping back into the thick of it.
Gunner zip also requires constant maintenance unless you use certain setups with engi platforms and such. With ranged enemies becoming more prominent, it's easier to dodge around on something like an omen or minehead than a zipline that only goes two ways, and only one way quickly.
@@AxisKronos so what you're saying is, is that I can divert all ranged attention from my allies for the low low price of having to worry about those enemies a bit more? Sounds like a steal to me.
Huh, didn't know that about Refinery locations (that's also my favourite mission type) I'll definetly use this next time. As a suggestion, how about a video on "bulk wrangling" namely effective/effiecient ways to deal with Bulk detonators (and Crassus detonators too) as well as the rare and difficult art of using bulks to kill dreadnought bosses?
That probably works, but you can never move molly from there so there's that. I mean you can move it but it's gonna remove the spot, engineer platforms with the platform boomboom shard diffractor would probably be the best way to set it up.
Semi God spot: massive platform bridge but missing one platform that has to be jumped. Makes melee enemies have to path 30 meters or more for your measly 2 meter hop. Make a 4 way intersection with a hole for even better safety
Im not sure if this is still a thing, but here comes nothing In glacial strata, you have those hotspots where you can warm up; since bugs are adapted to the cave temperatures (hence the resistance shifts), they really dont enjoy walking on those, therefore, a godspot.
Also turret controller. Protected from everything but ranged targets. And the praetorian breath. But the oppressor slam like ashing where it summons the rocks doesn't even hit you too so it's kinda a really neat spot
I actually found one of these spots accidentally and thought it was a bug AI basically froze and could not reach me. was interesting to see a swarm of 100 bugs standing still peacefully
There is one on-demand god spot for drillers. Don’t remember if it’s patched or not. 1) throw axe 2) c4 terrain around axe 3) stand on axe 4) that’s it, it just floats
I believe for the spiked roots the Engineer can platform a spot to prevent damage from spikes while simultaneously not recreating a path for the bugs to go to.
You forgot one of the most important God Spots of all time: Gunner's placeable Ziplines make him immune to all melee bugs and he can constantly stay on them by changing direction. Just gotta watch out for flying enemies. I feel you're not doing gunners versatility justice by not including this.

You can make Molly float by breaking terrain under her. Most easily done with platforms. But that's harder in multiplayer, because idk how Molly chooses to move
I believe I have discovered what the last and best godspot is... Hints: it cannot be done on point extraction, it is with DRG equipment. To spoil what I think it is, show more Molly? If not, then resupply?
Jumping between 2 bridges with a engineer I think would count as a "god spot." By the time the swarm get close you jump over to the other bridge and the bugs have to relocate to attack you. I try not to use the cheese too much. However Haz 5 and the teams down? One bridge Khazad Dum coming up.
The amount of bugs can still swarming both bridges and you have to actively killing off the grunts or you will get overwhelmed. Whereas the god spots in the video make you completely immune to melees by just standing still regardless the amount of bugs spawning.
@@wrathybear Did you miss the part where I am a Engineer with x2 turrets, possibly a nuke launcher or a iron man laser? Why would I *NOT* kill the bugs as I jump between bridges? In a game about killing bugs, I kinda figured I didn't need to tell you that part. If you want immune to damage stay on the station, you can tell mission control all about it.
you can dig out the area under doretta at the hearthstone before starting the event, to give doretta a godspot and make her immune to melee enemies, it does take a while since the stone is three or four pickaxe attacks for one small area or just one power attack. but man is it funny seeing not even a pretorian reaching the drilldozer
You can stand on thrown axes, allowing portable god spots. Can be decently handy, and if you're committed, you can spend all your extra axes to make a floating platform of sorts. Only works for host though for some reason, axes stopped sticking for clients from my expereince
You can hold a grapple on a leaving point extract/ refinery pod to float mid air. Can't shoot and need a way to go back down safely, but a nice safety spot
Break a platform peninsula off of a edge after calling molly onto it, and get on top of molly and you're good to go. Can take veteran depositor for damage reduction against ranged attacks. Recommend the LOK rifle to easily clap ranged enemies, and the plasma bursters to decimate the massive swarms you collect under you. edit: iirc someone in game told me that if you're un-reachable the game spawns a bulk detonator, but theoretically you can be out of reach of those too with this strategy.
That bulk dett rumor is false. Bulk detts only spawn if they're on the spawn table, so either if you see one you're likely to see another later, or if don't see one then you never will until you extract
Not sure how much of a godspot I'd consider it since you can't shoot and it's basically one time niche use but grappling onto the PE/refining rocket as it leaves will have you hang in the air where you grappled for as long as you hold M1 (or until mactera swarm you). Don't tell gsg.
Cave angels could also qualify as while you cant shoot back, you can effectively move around most if not all of the cave on larger missions such as refinery and drop down whenever you need to, this can make the refining stage trivial while playing solo assuming mactera plague isnt active, the angel's movement speed is often fast enough to dodge most projectiles (excluding robots) provided you are a decent distance away. The angel will move significantly faster when flown downward so you can use this to dodge some of the faster projectiles, or in emergencies simply disembark, this is instant and while it can cause you to fall a significant distance, if you are scout, have hoverboots, are above a zipline, are close to the ground or are just a god at ledge grabs this is far less risky than just tanking the hit.
You can also shoot a zipline into terrain and break the terrain around the zipline, the downside is that you can fall if you are high up, but its basically something you can put wherever you want, so I like it alot.
Idk not really exploits, you can still die being there from a lot of things, it's not like you usually die to grunts anyways, it's usually stuff like ranged enemies and maybe pretorians and oppressors, wich should both have a ranged attack as well.
I remember accidentally discovering the one for the Point Extraction minehead post-launch. Only problem is the enemies tended to stay out of sight, so when I finally had to make a run for the drop pod, _dozens_ of bugs were chasing me down.

The Void is the best God spot.
The spot he doesn't want us to know about is the top of Caretaker

The caretaker arms can kill you, not to mention if it spawns sniper turrets, swarmer drones, or even phase bombs
@@Metaknight251 If it's fun _and_ can still kill you, that's peak dwarven entertainment!
