Quasar is pretty much 4 EAT-ITs for one EAT-IT calldown. Going to be using it a lot.

I see myself using it a lot against bots, but not so much against bugs. That 3-second charge time is no good for taking down chargers at all.

Tried them both out when I got home, just a quick, easy mission for a test run before getting into anything.

HMG definitely kicks like crazy. Very hard to focus bullets onto a single target, even prone. It's got a 1,200 rpm setting that will drain its entire clip in 2 seconds flat if you feel like being a madman. Takes out the AT-ST walkers from the front so it's got some armor pen, but it takes a good chunk of bullets to do it still. Kind of disappointing results on devastators and berserkers, at a glance. Might have to give it another shot longer term with the lowest rpm setting and more careful aiming.

I'm seeing the hype on the Quasar. Recoilless without reloading, or spammable EAT. Barely felt the 10s cooldown on it. You need to be pinpoint accurate with it though, so keep that in mind. I had way more success going into first person with it. In third person, the reticle wavers like crazy as you're charging. In first person, you'll see a "heat haze" that makes it look wobbly, but there's a pinpoint in the middle that you were originally focused on that's accurate. Just keep in mind that if you hold the trigger for the full charge, it's going to shoot. It doesn't wait for you to let go.

I see people saying the Quasar is OP but I don't see it

On higher difficulties with multiple elites on you the CD time will get you killed

You still have 3 other stratagems for offense along with other divers sets. It rewards the player with killing elites every 30 seconds if they can stay alive versus calling down EAT-ITs every 90/120 seconds depending on the call down and cool down banes at higher difficulties. Recoiless Rockets with team reload are a faster option for taking out multiple heavies/elites with a singular stratagem, but costs a backpack slot.

That would at least give it something over the standard Diligence. As it is, you get a damage increase so small that it isn't even noticeable, at the cost of less ammo, more sway when aiming, and the turning speed of a goddamn HMG turret. The Diligence CS is a horrendous weapon.

Although even if you do give it medium armor piercing, that still just makes it a worse AMR.

When I get home I'm going to try AMR instead of grenade launcher. I'll try Diligence, too. I just cannot kill hulks, lmao. Although grenade launcher is nice to wipe out an entire bot drop as they land if they're all normal bots/devastators

instead of throwing us a pity MO why not throw us some sort of RP bone like super earth reinforcements that significantly increases liberation per mission plus other fun bonuses so people actually want to play the planet. this cycle of failing every other MO due to divided player base is getting old. Victories feel hollow (you don't even notice a planet is taken in the moment until you realize no-one is joining your game) and defeat feel crushing.

the creek was taken so fast i literally missd the pity order lmao

Aerial gunships are on the way and cloaked illuminate ships are chilling in the background. I'm expecting illuminates to be released as soon as we have 1 faction pushed to their homeworld sector where fighting on three fronts will have Joel tick down the reinforcement regeneration and/or have the progress tick up since it was at 13% for 250k players earlier.

The problem with the dominator is its handling stat more than its damage output so it probably still feels like a worse version of the slugger.

Slugger took some nerfs, the Dominator might actually be better now.

Probably going to test the devestator and counter sniper as well again.

If it works against the cheap AT-STs, they may be my new bot weapon, instead of the sickle (no recoil = full auto towards bot eyes = very satisfying).

Probably going to have to look for a new bug primary. Really liked the Slugger.

Sad to see the Slugger nerfs. Lots of other good stuff in the patch though. Unfortunately I've got other plans and won't be able to play today.

Spear probably still trash though. The "buff" they gave it helps a little but it still has too many disadvantages compared to other heavy killers.

As long as the lock-on bug remains unfixed, it doesn't really matter what buffs they give the Spear. Hell, it's never even shown up in the "known issues" section of the patch notes as far is I'm aware.

It can't.

Tbh, I can understand that one, since I think it felt a bit odd that it was the only primary weapon that could do that.
