Been playing scythe/quasar a lot tonight and I'm pretty sure people sleep on the scythe hard because of a lack of hit feedback and reloading making it feel like it's doing less damage than it actually is - it's doing a lot of damage, it's just spread more consistently over time than most guns. There are obviously guns that can kill things faster but its sustainability, mobility and uptime in extended fights means it puts in a pretty serious amount of work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD8qIxpm53Q deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 05:35 on Mar 30, 2024 |

It feels a lot worse, and seems to do damage a lot slower while having the same ammo mechanic. BitBasher fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Mar 30, 2024 |

finally used the quasar for the first time and it just exploded when fired almost like a railgun (though it didnt destroy the weapon) three times over the course of a mission including when i was the last one standing with no respawns left so I'm not going to be using it

Infidelicious posted:Real reason the Scythe blows: If I wanna do 300dps I'll bring in a Rover and have it do it instead. That's my whole problem, the Sickle does ~687 DPS and can fire for a second longer than the Scythe before overheating. atelier morgan posted:finally used the quasar for the first time and it just exploded when fired almost like a railgun (though it didnt destroy the weapon) three times over the course of a mission including when i was the last one standing with no respawns left so I'm not going to be using it Really? Catch a video? That's not even a mechanic for the weapon that I am aware of. You literally can't overcharge it, it fires automatically after the set time? How did it explode? Are you sure you didn't clip something in front of you? I've used it a lot.

You sure it exploded and didn’t just y’know fire? oh it definitely fired! i even watched the target explode from the perspective of my spontaneously-reduced-to-gibs corpse one of those shots and to be clear it fired just fine several other times that same mission. if i didn't have two other people attesting to it i would have just assumed i got rocketed from behind at an unlucky moment (and i thought that's what happened the first time)

I don't use the sickle primarily because it just feels dull to me but upsides to the scythe include better spoolup speed and mobility, and being the coolest person with the raddest gun in every group you join. The scythe is perfectly capable of smashing missions on any difficulty so cool factor goes a long way.

What does "better mobility" mean when it's the same as shooting any other not-smg primary? Worse even, because you have to spend more time firing to kill something.

Better ability to switch rapidly between targets for long periods of time without overheating because of its faster spoolup speed Anyway my point is people think it's unusably bad but that's a skill issue, it's good. deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 05:59 on Mar 30, 2024 |

The one time I saw someone use the gas orbital I waited patiently until I saw the green cloud dissipate then ran ahead and died. It seems to be bugged in that regard.

If you think spending 5 seconds sprinting away from berserkers is "spending ages getting bullied by them" then I understand why you're not strong enough to carry the scythe.

Fabricated posted:Quasar is a good "I don't want to be the anti-armor guy but I also don't want to be owned if I need anti-armor" selection. If you find yourself being the kind of player who prefers to just use their primary/secondary/stratagems over supports, but you want a weapon you can pull out at any time forever to delete a charger/hulk/dropship/etc when your stratagem are on CD the Quasar works. Also you can keep your backpack slot. Yeah, I am really enjoying this against bots with the Sickle as primary. I've got a rocket blast when I want it (and honestly the cooldown isn't much longer than running back for the second EAT) and a primary with almost infinite ammo to use the rest of the time. And it doesn't feel bad using it against Striders or bot fabricators because it'll be back up in a few seconds anyway with no waste of ammo. I almost miss having to manage ammo with that loadout, actually, feels slightly OP but also like I'm missing out on a part of the game. (I haven't tried it on bugs yet because good patriotic Helldivers are defending Draupnir and pushing forward towards Tibit.)

I tried out the Scythe on a bot elimination mission and it seems like if there's even remotely more medium robots than little ones it just doesn't do enough fast enough to stop you from being overwhelmed, you can't hold your ground with it. The laser cannon feels like the minimum amount of damage you need for a sustained beam weapon, and the Scythe is like half of that? And the pistol is half of the Scythe's damage?? The Blitzer also doesn't do great against Devastators but it at least stuns them and interrupts rocket guy firing animations. The Blitzer also targets Scout Striders instead of the rider, even from behind, so it doesn't kill them well when you have a clear shot, and I'd still prefer it over a Scythe.

Some hours ago I experienced a moment where my Helldiver must have decided they wanted to go back to the ship early. They were, of course, summarily executed for their treacherous cowardice. ...Once they finally touched ground, that is.  (It's a little hard to make out through the haze but that's the shoreline below RETURN TO THE COMBAT ZONE. Was ambling along next to the other two players and suddenly got propelled at maximum velocity into orbit for reasons that are unknown to me but must have something to do with the socialist tyranny of the game's physics.)

It's okay though, it's reserved for only the best and most stylish helldivers. It took you nearly fourty seconds while in full retreat, with rover help and a reload, to kill 4 berserkers. I'd say 'getting bullied' is accurate.

Finally got fully tilted during a trio lvl7 bug mission. We were fighting off a couple titans on the LZ, Pelican came down and I made a break for it since I was carrying the super samples. One of our guys goes down quick and the other has a titan on him. I was 3 feet from the bottom of the ramp when I suddenly die from titan vomit and the guy who was kiting it runs around Pelican and then dives over my dropped samples into the bird. That's the first time in a while I've let out a loud 'FUUUUUUUUCK' at a vidya game.

The spear. Hear me out, on bots its goated because you can snipe literally every objective or tower/jammer without going near the base. You can do the WASD funny dance to get the lock to work.
