Fun meme but honestly considering how ridiculously overpowered it is, I’m surprised at how fast it is, with infinite ammo.
I hope if/when they nerf it, they just increase the cool down time or even just add some kind of limited ammo like heatsinks or something and keep all other stats the same. I highly doubt they’re gonna leave it alone since it’s now become “meta” to a lot of players and it outshines many other anti armor options against bugs except maybe EATs
They could just buff other ATs instead. Lots of them are in a bad spot. Nerfing what’s popular won’t get you a balanced game, it will get you annoyed players and the sticker that says “no fun allowed”
I’ve seen people claim it’s over powered but I’m thinking it’s appropriatly set for it’s intended target and we’ve not come up against the reason it’s been added.
Also the guy at the map table said something about who is masterminding the Automatons plans. I’m thinking Illuminate are coming and this is for them.
People who say it’s OP have never tried the EAT. Or they are salty recoilless enjoyers (I do think the non-disposable recoilless deserves a few buffs. Maybe a little faster self reloads and/or 1 more rocket in the backpack)
Illuminates had no heavy armor at all in HD1, even the faction boss had only medium armor IIRC. The only use I had for my trusty EAT against them was to easily 1shot the obelisks when they started to open up.
What deserves buffs is the Spear. A recoilless is a long-loading EAT. All it needs is what people have been asking for - the ability to feed someone’s recoilless from their own backpack, and it’ll be great. The spear has the same downtime the quasar does, with the added caveat that you can’t really aim it so it often isn’t a 1 shot kill like it should be, very few rockets that replenish one at a time, and a targetting system that is so cursed it probably uses dead orphans with ADHD in there.
I mean, with someone loading the recoilless it isn’t even long loading, pretty effective AT volume of fire
Yeah, but you’ll never get a player to give up their backpack to wear your ammo. Unless you get 2 of them at once (and at that point, why bother with paired reload?), it isn’t really feasible. What would need to happen, is an ability to reload someone’s weapons from their own backpack instead. It would be a lot more teamwork, and in the event of an armored enemy, would get the person that’s chaff oriented to reload the recoilless. Sadly no news on them going that route yet.
Yo pitch me why you like the Quasar over, say, Autocannon.
I wanna love every laser and I wanna paint the world in burning light, but I can’t seem to get a good feel for the Quasar. In what situations are you using it and where do you think it shines?
You can one-shot drop ships out of the sky, causing it to drop on top of the bots that were just delivered: I get 10-13 kill streaks with one shot. It smokes a hulk in one shot to the face, and 2 shots to the front of a tank turrent.
On bugs, you can blow a chargers head off in one shot, kill shrieker nests in 2 shots, and blow the head off a titan in 2.
It’s an absolute monster weapon that borders on OP, which makes me think Joel is about to shaft us with way tougher enemies soon.
