They're still effective. They just now have a downside like the rest of the guns have, including stratagems.

Im gonna say this is a good weapon, but I find the sluggers utility and strength to be far superior. I used this last night, and having near infinite ammo is cool and all. However i like versatility in loadouts, weapons, stratagems. Whatever it is. Slugger opens containers, knocks back enemies, three shots broodguards, one shots trash mobs, three shots vile speweres and hatchers. Most importantly, it trivializes stalkers... it does not allow them to retreat, it can one shot them with a head shot, and as i said just stops them in their tracks. Slugger is also good against automatons. Most weapons just dont tick that many boxes.

Most likely though I’ll treat it like the Scorcher (also S tier) and switch out when I feel like I want to vary how I kill things. What we do need to talk about is the Las Pistol.

Others in the steam forums where saying it's "good for head shots & taking out limbs" & "it actually does 300 damage per-second" (Doing up to 2,400 damage for the whole 8 seconds) but I think I'm more right about the damage, that's my thought on it though.

The sickle is really fun. The only real downside on the terminid side is that it doesn't kill stalkers quickly. Since I usually take the arc thrower and rover to handle all the trash, I went back to the breaker specifically for stalkers.

Played this game since Monday this week and was surprised there wasn't already a stun grenade in already. Glad it hit the warbond. Even though straightforward in usage - go ahead and make a review of it for content, I'm sure it'll be popular.

I think as simple as the stun grenade is, it could be interesting to compare the effect to the EMS strike stratagems and go over the pros/cons of taking an explosive nade over stun
@BackwardsPancake10 ай бұрын
The stun is a pretty niche tool, but it's good at specific things. Namely, for situations where you don't care about killing enemies and need to buy time. Mostly, I have found it very handy for solo cheesing the tower missions.

@michaelbowman668410 ай бұрын
I've stated this on other videos discussing this weapon, but you can fire the weapon continuously for _100_ shots before it would overheat on a regular planet. This means that each "magazine" has 5500 damage in it, even without taking into account the cooling mechanic which is essentially ammo regeneration if you were to equate it to a regular firearm. And it has 6 of these, with the same scope functionality as the Liberator, with the same damager per shot... but with a much faster fire rate equating to a much higher DPS, going from 586.66 to 687.5 which is a 17% increase in kill speed when it comes to clearing a crowd or shooting something like a Hulk in the back. This completely and utterly outclasses the Liberator in every way, and I am all for it. Hopefully, the developers don't nerf this and actually buff the weaker weapons this time. Like, the Dilligence is _fine_ but it wouldn't be inexcusable to buff it a little, same goes for weapons like the Dominator, Blitzer, Plasma Punisher, and Liberator Penetrator. The Scythe, Counter Sniper, Liberator Concussive, Dagger, and Peacemaker all need serious buffs to even be comparable to the former "good" options, let alone the "great" primaries like the Scorcher, Slugger, and Breaker.

the delay before it starts firing makes it completely useless (or just annoying if I'm spending a lot of time prespooling) for my preferred run and gun playstyle. but if you're a set up first and then shoot sort, you might really like this especially on cold planets.

You should test the scythe!! It’s by far my favorite gun in the game against the automatons, has about twice as much time to overheat as the sickle so it’s still good on hot planets, and when crouching is (quite literally) a laser beam. It’s great for killing devastators and below super fast if you can hit the head. Trying it with the Fortified recoil boost makes it even better though I’ve gotten to the point where i don’t feel i need it.

It's good, but the ramp-up time before it starts firing makes trying to use short, controlled bursts by tap-firing really annoying. The other properties are fine, but trying to take out multiple Hunters jumping in from different angles is really annoying with it. I miss the HD1 Sickle. Slower rate of fire and it didn't have a delay when you tried to fire it.

@Nephi-lily10 ай бұрын
I think people mistaken what they mean by "not good" when I read not good I read it as "Not good in everything, and is a must have to do everything." The Las is good at small unarmored targets, alright on a planet with no modifiers, amazing on a cold planet, but bad on any planet as hot as mercury and terrible against armor, i.e., bile spewers. The punisher and slugger stun big targets like crazy and deal heavy damage, to single target a pack of hunter will easily mess with you because it's downside is, it's strong single target ability. Scorcher is arguably stronger that the breaker but it's draw back is well self dmg Every weapons from the ones we start to the ones we summon need a downside like EAT using up a support slot and strata slot and is a 1 time use but can deal the same dmg as the RR or the RR having slow reload and taking a backpack slot in return more rockets or a friend to quicken the reload. And pre breaker and railgun as much as we all don't want to admit it had none.

It absolutely penetrates medium armor. Hulk's eye - 2 shots to kill. Strider - 2-3 shots. Most devastators die from 1 or 2 shots to the head.
