  • New Auto Assault Class Guide: Champions

    Become the Champion of the Mutant race!

    The Champion class is the mutant “tank” class for Auto Assault, literally. The Champion is a strong and hearty class designed to keep all of the enemies’ attention while his convoy wipes them out. In honor of their heroic standing with the Mutant race, we bring you a brand new class guide all about the Champion. A full skill listing is included!

    The Champion class is the main tank class for the Mutant race. It's similar to the other tank classes, but less of a brute and more of a sophisticated fighter who can channel the Ursaic Spirit. The class brings about the best of the tank class (the defense, the offense, and the ability to hold aggro) while at the same time adding in skills that are fun to use. The Champion class has the ability to use most weaponry in the game, and overall is a solid figure in the Mutant lineup.

    Embrace your mutant side, join the tribe with the Champion guide at Auto Assault - TenTonHammer!

  • New TenTonHammer AA Contest

    TenTonHammer's Auto Assault "Battle Shout!" Contest

    Ever have the urge to shout something before that glorious dance known as battle? Well if you do, we want to hear it! We have pre-order serial codes to give to the best five entries in our "Battle Shout!" contest! It's simple; post a humorous or creative battle shout on the TenTonHammer - Auto Assault forums between April 21st and May 4th, 2006. The best five will receive a pre-order serial code that can be used to obtain a 5% loot bonus and a free front mounted weapon that levels along side of you!

    "Leading into battle, a popular old-world habit was to shout a battle
    cry to get the adrenaline pumping and raise the spirits of the men
    around you. While the effects of this strange tradition were never
    recorded, it was known to happen. In the present day many wastelanders
    find using a battle shout leading into battle can help bring luck on
    their side or prepare themselves for the battle itself. Things like
    "DIE FILTHY MUTANT SCUM" and "FOR HUMANITY!" are prime examples of
    what young freelancers shout going into battle these days."

    Submit your battle shouts at the TenTonHammer - Auto Assault forums!

  • Auto Assault 'How-To' Series Continues

    Tinkering and Gadgets in Auto Assault!

    Continuing NetDevil’s Auto Assault how-to guide series, we bring you “Gadgets and Tinkering”. Ever got an object with a red circle at the top? That’s a gadget slot. You can use the Tinkering skill to unlock it and insert a gadget. Gadgets can really help beef up your items, which is why having a good Tinkering skill is always advisable!

    Let’s say you have a Masters Degree in Blowing Stuff Up. You don’t have much of an interest in recipes, building your crafting disciplines, spending time gathering components and experimenting with weirdo commodities in the hope that you can make a bigger, badder gun. We get it. Your destiny is to cruise the wastelands, raining destruction on your enemies – and leaving all the crafting and refining stuff to the city dwellers. You use whatever is useful what your enemies leave in your wake, and sell the rest.

    Grab those gadgets and head on over to Auto Assault - TenTonHammer to get a more in-depth view on Tinkering / Gadgets.

  • New DDO Custom Build: Deathguard

    Hunters of Undead in DDO

    Aelasyl brings the Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach - TenTonHammer faithful a Custom Build straight from Eberron lore: the Aereni Deathguard. If you're a hardcore Eberron fan excited about Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach (DDO), this could be the build for you. Heck, the Deathguard is fun to play even if DDO is your first visit to Eberron!

    While the elves of Aerenal venerate their undying ancestors, they despise all negatively charged undead. These foul creatures that defile the world are shades of what they used to be. The Deathguard actively hunt down and exterminate negatively charged undead. This character combines the holy righteousness of a Paladin 4 with the skilled stalking abilities of the Ranger 6.
