Ravenfood posted:If the RR came with a loading arm that reloaded it while I ran around and shot things, maybe. Good idea, but to keep it balanced it takes 3 seconds and only does it once you pull it out and try to fire. Also it doesn't stage the reload, and it will just fire at the end of the animation. The quasar "reloading" on your back is meaningless when it effectively takes as much time to spool up before every shot as a reload takes Infidelicious fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Apr 23, 2024 |

How does the Quasar work? I haven't played in a while due to DD2, but I tried it today and it wouldn't click for me. I just held it, saw the thing overheat and at the end it did fire. How do you not overheat it? Whenever I let go early it just wouldn't fire.

Once it shoots there's a cooldown before you can shoot again. Edit: Well i guess technically yeah the act of shooting the projectile is what is overheating the weapon.

My mind went through a journey when I took the Quasar to an ice planet. Yes, it lowers the charge placed on the ammo bar. No, it doesn't matter because Quasar is locked behind cool down.

They did a really good job with the holy trinity of EATS, RR, and Queso. They all fill the same role, but situation and personal preferences prevent any of them from being the clear winner. I am biased towards the quasar because if there are no heavy enemies nearby I can blow up something stupid (scout strider, tiny bug, outhouse, etc) and not be at a disadvantage when a big boy shows up.

PacoPepe posted:I tend to favor EAT over the Quasar simply because it doesn't matter what happens if you die and get respawned on the other end of the map, or if your equipment gets overrun by the enemy, with the EAT you will always have AT power within a minute. I like EATs because I can rapid fire a pair into a Titan's face and pre-stage them for big fights. Which is important when the titans suddenly decide to shrug off multiple hits to the face plus a 500kg going off literally on their back.

you can switch to it, pop a round off, then immediately switch away for starters. there's also a lot of situations where the slow RoF is absolutely fine, like shooting at a clustered group of enemies and getting multiple kills per shot.

ijyt posted:how is anyone using the eruptor on anything but missile defense and bots, its takes a whole mission to cycle one round. Laserdog and / or teammates running Sickles or Fire Breaker let you focus on shooting things worth shooting with the Eruptor, like stalkers, Hive guards, brood commanders and spewers. Which are coincidentally targets the fire breaker and sickle kinda suck against.

I do it more frequently when running the stalwart/eruptor setup, there you can use stalwart as primary and eruptor for clustered bugs/spewers/hiveguards/brood commanders/holes. but I normally only do that when the rest of the team is running antitank. tbh I think sickle feels markedly worse against bugs than breaker/punisher for a 'normal' primary.

besides the rock formation, is there something visually on the minimap where you can find supersamples? and i don't mean triggering the POI diamond or what not. i keep reading its visible on minimaps if you look close enough?

ijyt posted:how is anyone using the eruptor on anything but missile defense and bots, its takes a whole mission to cycle one round. I use it pretty much exclusively vs bugs right now. I run light armor eruptor, redeemer, impacts and usually queso. You just stick and move? It shoots fast enough TBH - shoot, sprint away a little, shoot, sprint away, shoot, take out quasar and shoot something, back to eruptor. Shoot pull out redeemer to hose down the hunter that jumped out of the way of the rocket  etc I always reload when theres 1 shot left in the mag cuz it reloads super fast.

fortified armor eruptor is also very fun because if you dive backwards you can shoot something in your face and while you'll ragdoll towards them you'll take basically zero damage

Yeah the hidden power of the eruptor is that it's the most mobile primary that's not one-handed

I love the Eruptor against bugs, still haven’t really gotten the hang of it against bots. I agree with the earlier poster who said AC is king vs bots and Eruptor is a poor man’s AC. I tried the Adjudicator against bots and I don’t understand what the point is. I tried crouching, I wore anti recoil armor, I tried tap firing, I spammed it into Berserkers at point blank. I tried to Medium Pen devastators. It basically failed to kill every single thing I thought it would kill. Yes when it gets Devastator headshots it kills them, but it bounces like an absolute bastard. Sickle does the same job so much faster and with infinite ammo.

The Adjudicator is only really good against bugs and even then at best it's like a middle ground between the Liberator AP and the Dominator. That said I do like it for bugs because it fares well against both chaff and mediums, but it burns through ammo really quick. Plus its handling reminds me of the NC Gauss rifle from planetside

They should add the dart gun from Bad Company 2. A sidearm that shoots a little tracer dart and whatever it hits will have calldowns locked-in so you can consistently directly hit a 500kg or precision strike, and spears can instantly lock on too

I was just on a ICBM mission on a bug ice planet and I came across a group of bugs that appeared to be stealthed. They were just outlines, predator style, but appeared normal once I opened fire on them. Is this a graphical bug or am I seeing things? I swear I saw the outline of a bot dropship fly by around the same time and it made me feel like I'm going crazy.

380 for big bases and bot drops; 120 for shrieker nest, detector tower; Mortar for killing; EMS Mortar for more support. Love running around like an artillery officer. After all upgrades, the 380 has about a 40 meter radius. Maybe 45. 120 is about 20 meters.
