Fighting with Goliath | Tactic Battlefield 2142 NS Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Rule number 1 - make sure that the crew is complete

Goliath can perform its role on the battlefield properly only when it has a full crew (that is five soldiers). Each of them observes another part of vehicle's surroundings, so if one of the Goliath's seats is unoccupied, the enemy may use it to get closer to the machine and damage it or its regenerative cells with a rocket launcher or RDX DemoPak.

If you, while being the driver, notice that someone is missing, don't go fighting, but wait until some occupies the seat or respawns in the vehicle.

Rule number 2 - be careful while fighting against battlewalkers

Although the driver has a Motion Mine launcher, he should be extremely careful while fighting against other armored vehicles (especially battlewalkers), as those mines aren't very powerful and the launcher itself takes some time to reload. First of all, move backwards and try to find a safe place in order to let the gunners rest for a moment and to make enemy walker's job more difficult at the same time. As we know, battlewalker's anti-armor bombs work properly only at medium range, so a Goliath which is falling back is not an easy target. If you have an opportunity, find some shelter.

Moreover, be aware of the fact that the enemy driver may run away in order to avoid mines. After that, he may attack from another direction.

Rule number 3 - don't worry about the friendly infantry walking around

Soldiers coming to Goliath in order to heal and receive additional ammunition are, in fact, not a problem to the driver. The vehicle is really slow, so there is a minimum risk of running over a teammate. Do not worry and forget about any extra manoeuvres. Focus on the fight.

Rule number 4 - defend the regenerative cell placed near your gun

If you are an operator of one of the Goliath's guns, IT IS YOUR DUTY to PROTECT the regenerative cell that is placed next to or under your gun. Without the cells, the Goliath cannot repair itself, so defending it is extremely important. I might add that these cells can't be repaired once they're destroyed.

The rule is simple - aim at the enemies carrying rocket launchers first, then to the other ones.
