Stopping those damn runners.
Here's what I came up with tonight
So I figured out a "trick" to stopping runners. Runners are fast, really fast. They dislike two things however, buckshot and being trapped. Try to force them into your lines and keep them in cordors, never fight them in the open (at least not one on one). Remember you can be revived but they can't so don't be afraid to push it when you know your squad is close.
That's all the tips I have. What do you have?

It's all good as long as you don't FF a bunch of people trying to kill the runner

Re: Stopping those damn runners.
Alright, currently runners are the easiest caste to kill in my opinion.
Get buckshot then.
1. Get a pick up macro for your shotgun, bait any lesser or equal mature runner pounce at you, don't move, use macro, pointblank runner.
2. Get in the straight same line than the runner, wield your gun, when the runner is in range, clutch side then back in, shoot behind you. Works 80% of the time.
Both will instantly crit any runner, especially if you bayo. If you don't bayo, then it means you have a BC.
Voilà. Litterally, how to kill ANY runner.

Re: Stopping those damn runners.
Anticipate where runner is going, block it and shoot. If you are in a crowded area use common sense when thinking about firing your gun.

Re: Stopping those damn runners.
1. Start CM.
2. Right click on the window, top of your screen.
3. Cilent -> Macro -> New macri.
4. Insert any key (I use C)
5. In the command line, add : pick-up M37A2-pump-shotgun\nPick-up M41A-pulse-rifle-MK2
6. Enjoy the pick up of shotgun and/or pulse rifle if no shotgun is close. Works with anything, litterally.
7. Get a BC shotgun with buckshot.
8. Face a young runner, swap in harm intent (hotkey is above your QWERTY letters, it's the fourth one.
9. Get pounced.
10. Whenever you get up, press C, left click on the runner that won't be moving and be close.
11. Enjoy the fun of pointblanking instantly your beloved young runner that will, most likely, be gibbed from your one handed PB.
12. Log in Payapl, pay 50€ to my address.
13. Get a donor item.

Re: Stopping those damn runners.
that explains why you are annoying as hell to kill.

Re: Stopping those damn runners.
Yeah well now there is a wielding delay on picking up I don't have any more trick in my sleeve for runners except baiting in minefields with Mark or into a table.
Tho. Clutching a pounce with sidestep to shoot behind works with newbies.

Re: Stopping those damn runners.
runners will often try to "push" you away from your squad. Just stay calm, wait for them to do so and then unload on em

Re: Stopping those damn runners.
Put claymore on the ground between you and the incoming path of runnah.
Go next to it (outside blast radius though), wait for Runner to arrive on the edge of your screen.
Scream *MEDIC
Fake putting splints on your chest, put back splints back on your pouch every 5 seconds to avoid putting them for real.
See dumb runner going on your claymore, kill it.
Repeat until Hive has no more larva to spend on Runner.
