My girlfriend saw me playing this game so she decided to get a whirl. I was tagging along with some of the Vor quest missions and she said "Let's do the assassinate Vor quest, I'm tired of this rear end in a top hat talking to me."

My favorite part of Corrupted Vor is that if you insta-gib him, he'll keep banging on and on long after he's been pulverized into a fine red mist. Unintentional comedy at its finest.

I actually got the velocitus from like a combination of 7-8 lucky runs.

The gun is trash.

But not because its just trash but because arch-wing doesn't support guns that need charge when every enemy is tiny and has add and cannot stop moving.

Maybe its a better experience on pc but on ps4 its trash so far.

I think you may be confusing it with them talking about having larger AW enemies on the most recent devstream.

It wrecks everything, it's just non-trivial to use because you have to actually aim and lead shots, which takes some practice. If you take a gander at the numbers, Velocitus out-damages every other AW gun by an absurd amount. Take it for a spin on Caelus and one-shot omga and anything else that moves--well, not shielded hellions, because gently caress those things--but everything else.

Of course, it did take a bunch of forma to reach its potential, so if you don't like AW, it's not for you.

SynthOrange posted:

It's not homing, but if you build the Fluctus you can spin around in circles mashing fire and it'll pretty much kill everything since the aoe bar is so drat big.

The stated intent of their design was to make things more dogfight-y by making enemies you had to get behind, but that doesn't actually work because they still turn much too fast. In practice, you either melee them, use a Grattler, or shoot them while they're targeting another player or traveling to a different point.



SectumSempra posted:

The real problem with the Velocitus, and most AW guns that aren't the Imperator, is that it's not hitscan. Why would you make a gamemode that's based on extreme speed at ranges where aiming becomes a pixel hunt, and then make most of the weapons slow-rear end bullet lobbers? Why?


In the Velocitus' case in particular, it's also supposed to be a railgun, so it follows in the non-hitscan footsteps of the non-AW Lanka. Someone at DE has a broken brain and thinks that "magnetic launcher that shoots projectiles at an appreciable percentage of lightspeed" should mean "shoots a bullet slower than any given weak-rear end chemically propelled plinker". :psyduck:

Does that mean that Scarab armor doesn't scale with power strength?

Damage and healing per second are affected by Power Strength once you cast the Sacarb Swarm from the armor, it looks like the Scarab Armor its self scales nothing, but Steel Fiber works really well with it, giving you an absurd armor rating.

Bingo. I mostly want it for that. Also getting an Itzal, because after fighting it 3-4 times and getting my poo poo completely kicked in I want some revenge, and to me revenge is best served in the form of dealing several thousand damage per shot.

Common misconception; it's not infestation. You did notice there's nowhere to let the dog out in space, right? He'd been holding it all this time...

My only dog got sent to Lotus for "care", so it can't be that. Unless the bugger hid somewhere on the ship instead.

I just unlocked the Atomos, so far it seems like a hilarious and fun weapon.

I'm having a hard time figuring out what elements are worthwhile. With the mods I have, I can boost the fire even further or convert it to radiation.
What makes more sense?
