So I was looking at the russian stream to see the new pats before english speakers get to (could not understand anything of course but saw the stuff I needed to see. Also by initial glance none of the weapons seemed to be OP part 2.0 Corax boogaloo, so I suspect one of them gets buffed halfway in and Corax nerfed again
You get:
2 new tracks
1 new meelee
1 engine
1 new grenade rocket whatever launcher
1 new disk launcher
1 new cabin
New tracks do not deal ram damage like I thought, but steady meelee damage like saws etc. But, they only deal it while the perk is active, so when you drive into an enemy you deal damage for a little bit of time until your speed falls below the perk activation needed. So if you facehug people with them, you deal damage for about 3-4 seconds and then none. Damage was not very impressive either, kinda like meat grinder maybe even weaker
New meelee weapon (10 energy) is neat as in it lets people without porcs play porcs, the things roll on the ground like porcs. Meelee damage was not impressive but the projectile damage was pretty ok. Basically you can now play porc-like weapons without needing to buy porcs
New grenade launcher (12 energy) fires like I imagined it would (imagine if Swarms fired continuously as you held down the button, into the area where you are aiming into with the circle). Seemed very nice, might be very easy to use as well, nice damage.
Engine (2 energy) did not seem as op as I thought it would, at least by how they used it, it seemed that while it lets you basically fire Aegis twice, after that there is some kind of a cooldown so you can’t spam it as much as I feared. But has potential to be unbalanced if it works way different in more capable hands and makes the Aegis more spammable
The Disk launcher (11 energy) did not seem very impressive, it kinda works like a Vulture with more meelee but less explosion, but it just did not impress honestly. Could be good but seems kinda weak at what was shown
New cabin, did not seem that busted, it’s ok but not as big of a boost to reloading as I thought. Not bad but hadron king might still be the fastest. It kinda combines the perks of a passive boost to reload and an activation kind like Echo, but yeah did not seem op, but not trash either
All in all could not spot the obvious OP weapon and this seems more like the kind of a pass where they buff all or most parts halfway into the season. A little bit disappointed in the tracks and the disk launcher, but the grenades and meelee seem interesting. Neutral on engine and cabin. Opinions will change once I get to test them out myself in the exhibition at some point
