you got 7 seconds tops to get out of the flames. Tested it out on pu-1 and considering kapkan lasts 7 seconds as well definitely a no go
I imagine the new generator would be good for lancers. The lower weigh allows them to place more armor on their car. They could use the rift module to lose the generator after their lances are gone.

i know shotgun users are gonna abuse that >.>
i wish it was an actual legendary or relic version of the fuze. still im not complaining. i do hope it has a little nuke animation for when it explodes.
… what?
make a giant toaster with wheels and when its done cooking it launches a mandrake volley or a shot from the heather. TOAST DELIVERED!
finally someone mentions this, yeah i thought strapping a literal nuke to your car is going a bit extreme lol.
dude you sneeze near that and it explodes.
would be ironic and hilarious if it blew up anyways xD

Oh boy, what an excitement! No other game could offer so much new content after four months or however long it took from the last big update.
/s
I’m sorry you guys aren’t looking forward to it.
The new guns are genuinely unique. The perk is not like any we’ve seen before, and looks like it will actually be usable. The model, I’m assuming, is similar to the Aurora which will be nice to build with.
Both cabs have perks that actually sound usable uanlike some of the previous offerings. Even though most players aren’t using drones, that cabin looks like it might change that. That’s a good thing. It’s revitalizing an entire weapon category.
They also appear to be easy to build with very much unlike some previous offerings.
Did anyone expect the generator to not be more fragile and explosive? You guys weren’t really expecting something as durable as the apollo, but smaller, were you? People have been begging for a smaller and lighter Apollo. The obvious trade-off is in explosiveness and durability.
The tracks also look nice. You’ll be able to undermount weapons with them.
I mentioned before that I don’t see a lot of dead space in the parts available in the game. I can’t imagine how they can come up with a genuinely unique and new part, but they did a pretty good job in my opinion. I think maybe you guys have unreasonably high expectations.
I’m not saying I can’t come up with other weapons. We have plenty of threads dedicated to that. Acid guns. Ice guns. They are variations on themes already in the game. Acid guns are flamethrowers with different graphics. Ice guns are plasmas with different graphics. Give them a little grace. They just gave us helicopter blades that took 5 weeks for anyone to find an exploit in the gameplay with them.
I also think maybe you guys are overlooking the possibilities with the lighters and crafting. I do believe this is the first time you will be able to farm like mad and craft multiples of the new parts. That bodes well for profitability in the season!
Relax! Tune in Thursday and try to have fun.

Compared to big chase they are really cheaping out. We now gets 1 epic machine gun as opposed to last battle pass where we got 2 epic 5 energy drain millers along with 2 special weapons. I guess the tracks are worth it but not has good value as last time. We also had the special module plus special wheels in the big chase so that was 5 specials compared to 0 like we are getting now. They got the coins in replace of it but some upgraded specials like from the big chase would be better value I think.

In the first Battle Passes, we often only got one of each weapon. Hoping the lighter crafting system makes up for it though.

I’m hopeful it will, and let me explain why.
In most of the other battle passes, you end up with one or two of a rather unique weapon. It’s never enough to make a full build with that weapon. For example, I have a blockchain from some previous battle pass or event, but without two other block chains, the weapon is pretty useless in my inventory.
By making it so I can craft multiples of whatever weapon I like, it will also make the weapons I do get in the battle pass more useful in the future.

It looks reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally unexciting, and I’m a heavy cab boi. Just… Drones and MGs? Legit nobody asked for drones since the broken af Grenadier 3 years ago, I have no idea why Targem keeps wasting good parts on drone gameplay no one wants, likes, or enjoys. Like really, who out there was asking for a heavy legendary drone cab? Even droners won’t play that 60 kmh crap. It’s a complete waste.
And more MGs. This game needs a balance patch more than it needs two more MGs < ’ >_< ’ >. meanwhile Cricket is still the last of its line since… basically since the game exists lol.

No one here. LOL
I actually do like them quite a bit, but fully understand why people don’t like them and rarely play them. They’re super weak.
The fact that they made what is essentially a buff for all of them makes perfect sense in a way. Well, it does to me.
I’ve been playing for several years, and the buff- Nerf cycle seems to follow and almost predictable rhythm. The developers have explained it as well.
They collect metadata from the game and observe which parts are and are not being used and which parts are and are not effective in battle. They then attempt to buff and Nerf things accordingly. Obviously, they screw that up quite a bit from time to time, but let’s leave hovers out of this for now. LOL
My guess is that they looked and saw that drones were barely being used at all, especially in higher power scores. Instead of buffing each individual autonomous drone, they added a cab that essentially did the same thing.
EDIT
Agreed, but remember, along with the update tomorrow comes several balance changes. I specifically remember hovers are getting nailed and miniguns are getting a pretty serious second nerf. I believe there are others, but I don’t remember them.
There’s enough lighters given that if a player wants to get a second legendary it’s easy, as there is 700 lighters in the event. For the 3rd it’s going to be like 40 more levels for them. However that would set you down to zero lighters again. It would be cost another 500 lighters for the 2 additional epic guns, and another 500 for a second pair of tracks. This is where I think the lighter idea craps out. 1000 more lighters would take another 67 levels. If a player can grind out 107 extra levels during the season pass then they can get a set of everything. If not then the advantage only goes to the whales and whoever wants to open their wallet for extra levels.
I think what’s going to happen is players are going to have to kind of pick which sets they can complete and which ones linger as non-complete sets.

Ok, let me rephrase. No one wants drones when they’re good. Droners have cried to get good drones before. Then we got Grenadiers and Anni drones, and trust me, no one had fun, not even the people who wanted to get OP drones so they could open a can of beer and watch the game play itself (I have legit heard another 30yo dude tell me it was normal to have a way to win games while playing with one eye , one hand, getting drunk after a hard day of work, lmao). They’re weak af now because everybody hated drone meta and the game tanked really hard when it was prevalent.
Besides, it’s just a wasted cab because nobody plays heavy cabs with drones (the lower energy really doesn’t help when cheetah, cloak and doppler are borderline mandatory), and anyone who wants to target enemies with drones would use… the legendary drones, Annihilator, instead of a subpar legendary cab to bloat their PS. What’s the point of this cab, slapping Sidekicks on it at 9k PS? T_T
At least swap the rarities of the epic and legendary cabs, so that the drone cab gets some use where it makes sense, and that the overheating one doesn’t get brutally murdered by the strong competition in the epic heavy brawling cabs category.

I completely disagree here.
I’m not a drone player, but to say no one wants this is just not true.
All play styles (if we like them or not) should be viable.
