If the air burst rocket was a one and done with a short cooldown like an eat I could see it getting some use on really open maps full of bugs.

Airburst seems real good on bot eradicate missions where you have an elevated position so I'm excited to try the 'fixed' version that gets added, but yeah not a big fan of it as-is

I'm convinced Petra is the worst planet to have the airburst on. Trees and rocks. Constant fog, low visibility. Add on comically high aoe proximity detonation launcher. It's a recipe for TK disaster. It has to be on purpose. But what if I had this on a clear map. Desert dunes or moors or ice planet. With bugs. Far away. In dense concentrations. Oh yeah. Besides it might have a pretty significant rework when it's finalized. Right now it feels less like an airburst and more of a cluster rocket.

Had a very fun mini-nuke on extraction while doing a pub sample run today https://i.imgur.com/2E2zGbQ.mp4 Why did all 3 of my teammates rush towards the red beam? Liberty only knows

I'm somewhat convinced that the medium sized destroyable rocks are setting off the prox warhead on the airburst launcher. you can shoot past trees but GFY if you're anywhere near a rock

It really needs a manual detonation mode. Clicking again when you want it to go boom would be rad, and make it pretty solid.

I'm holding off final judgement of the airburst launcher until it "officially" drops and has its changes applied to it, but I hope those changes include making it more consistent to use. Between 1) it fusing on terrain seemingly at random, 2) the initial rocket explosion doing what appears to be no damage at all, and 3) the submunitions spreading out in a circular pattern meaning it does damage in a weird donut shape, it's hard to even determine how much damage it can do. I've had Devastators run the gambit of dying in a single shot to surviving 5 (I would have shot more but I ran out of ammo). It definitely seems to do a decent amount when it works; I managed a 16x kill with a single shot on the first time I took it out, but unless you can manage something like that with consistency it's not going to be worth using outside of meme-ing. https://i.imgur.com/W50TZzp.mp4 Also this is totally an aside but it seems more like a cluster-munition launcher than an airburst launcher; when I hear airburst launcher I think something more along the lines of a super-eruptor: a giant HE-FRAG rocket that spews out a billion pieces of shrapnel everywhere.

Wish there was a way to resupply the exosuit. I love my mech but it dies pretty quick to bots especially and runs out of ammo pretty fast. Am I doing it wrong?

I watched someone keep a mech alive for a good while against bots earlier and I think the secret is actually run out of ammo faster. Just be really really aggressive with it. Obviously don't try to walk infront of every rocket, tank blast, and cannon turret, but I watched a pub take a cannon turret and tons of small arms fire and live to run out of ammo. They were real liberal with their rockets and emptied the gatling at anything and evetything as long as there was a target in sight, whether charging ahead, retreating, or seeking cover. They were still avoiding patrols with the rest of us when we weren't already in a fight but otherwise just explode supress and perforate everything repentlessly. This worked extremely well on a blitz mission that was just dummy full of devastators around every corner.
