LoL yeah crossbows seem to be the thing, and if you can combine them with a whaler cabin, you’re very good-to-go. I use a triple-toadfish build with torero cab, only because it offers me a lower profile than with the whaler.
I experimented with a 6-pyres build, and that didn’t do badly either. The trick with them is to stay at the map edges with some cover, and go invisible right as some guy comes into range and before he spots you, then nuke him. At the lower end, I tried a 4-maces build in the 6k ps range, and found it workable as long as you can get close, quickly. I’m awkward with cannons, so I didn’t try those.
this event exists just to sell more crossbows
Yeah, sad that any potential this brawl could have is held down by all crossbows turning the impulse brawl into one shot brawl.
And on top of the input problems and random lags (Why do my guns keep firing instantly when I spawn back in and costing be being able to shoot right away) there are some big problems in this brawl and with what weapons have impulse and what do not have it
Like Arothrons, these things have insane knockback in this brawl, but no impulse whatsoever. Same with some cannons, insane knockback and no impulse. Avalanche does get some good impulse, but with an insane knockback and of course crossbows do it better and without any knockback. Locusts etc missiles, explosions in general like yongwang, the explosion of a phoenix bolt, no knockback at all. Especially the phoenix, the bolt hit does some impulse, but then when it explodes, no impulse at all
The most fun I have found on this brawl is running a non-impulse weapon (Lucifers and a Daze) and stomping crossbowturds, their easy win builds just like most builds in this brawl are super weak compared to regular pvp so bringing a curveball like that seems to take people off guard enough and works pretty good. In fact I’d say Lucifers in this brawl are even slightly meta, you won’t have any impulse but with how the builds are generally build, you pop builds left and right and rarely need to reload, and any build is instantly dead anyway when shot by a crossbow
I have said it lots of times, this brawl could be fun if it could turn some not so great weapons better by giving them impulse and making playing them a rare fun thing, but nope it’s just already powerful impulse gins are not more meta in this gamemode and that’s it, no imagination, no thinking outside the box, just crossbows for instadeletion for the special wins needs children
that happen to me in mission heli/leg.
i was like ’ i didn’t press any button
I have more of a gripe with it being team-based this time. Running into a squad playing like they’re in Clan battles makes the experience grotesque. You can juke one guy with crossbows, but not four.
I have the same issue, but with any button I press right before I die (Usually the gun or the horn, I like my horn).
these brawls are easy enough to get through with any weapon.
yes a triple crossbows just kills you.
last time they had this brawl they banned some things, so they can do that again in any mode…
Crossbows 1 shot me half the time.
But im on hard mode using Jupiters, no impulse but it works for the challenges. Tho i wish it was fun to play, not worth grinding it. Plus long ques
yes same, usually scope
Poony4u would say it is worth grinding and agree .
its not even grinding/just show up n shoot …
The whole point of this brawl is to have some fun with high impulse weapons, so of course most of the Crossbows are going to be great in it.
This is not a problem.
There are lots of non-Crossbow weapons that will also send your victims flying through the air, and if you can’t figure out which ones those are, maybe you should be playing a different game.
Also, this is just a temporary brawl. If you don’t like it, play one of the normal modes.
Don’t petition to get them to change the rules and ruin everything that makes this brawl unique and interesting.
There’s my Best Dev Ever
I would just say, add impulse to more stuff in the brawl.
None the less yes its temporary so no reason to get upset.
(But yes have fun, if you have crossbows)
i imagine you fire the gun and your build goes flying in the opposite direction but the bullet stays suspended in the air for a few seconds then explodes…
I really wish this brawl lasted longer so I could experiment some more. Today I played a 6K ps car using three Emilys. The challenge was easy, just “play impulsiveness twice”, so I had nothing to lose. I came in the top third on my teams. Since the battles aren’t long and the challenges aren’t difficult, I’d recommend experimenting with different weaponry and enjoying it for what it is.
the mode is fun, but it would be refreshing if they put about 4 minutes of development time to improving it. the mode is so short there is no point playing it for too long, you will spend more time in the queue than ingame
Do you have an Avalanche? It’s pretty fun in this brawl.
There are other guns that work well too, but Avalanche can really launch some big enemies into the air.
I sold mine lol, i regret it kinda
