since when did they do that??
somebody at targem had to fill a quota
Varun Crossbow - Iāve always known it was awkward and clunky but was looking at spike and the phoenix and checked it out quicklyā¦
This is a joke right? 13 energy, 1755 power score and does about as much damage as an avenger 57mmā¦
Must have missed something surely?
When they first came out they were turned into automatic crossbows by players running scripts, while they barely worked to anyone trying to play them normally due to very bad servers in general, so the devs nerfed them to the ground so that they suck with or without scripts, and justified it with āIf we make them good people will run scripts so we canāt make them goodā and that was the end of Varun, I have fused Varuns that I never use because I need god-like internet connection and server stability just to feel like I am doing anything and even then they just suck, just like my Astraeus, I canāt land charged shots with them because of lag spikes. Especially bad with weapons that need you to charge and let go at a steady rhythm, I have not had a singular match where I inexplicably just not fire for 2-4 charges because of a lag spike happening and me still charging and firing at the pre-spike rhythm and failing to get any shots out.
Charging to fire is not a function that works in this game for the majority of people to be honest, click-2-fire is just way more superior because itās a bit more easier to land shots even with servers shiddin and fardin themselves
they could arrange it, likeā¦ ātap-autocharge; tap-fireā ā¦ and ditch the whole āholding button down to charge shot shtickā 
ā¦imoā¦ 
ā¦it might require a bit more ātimed tappingā but to me itās better than holding down the button to do the sameā¦
I find it weird how Varuns were made the way they were, because I remember them coming out right after they got rid of the old firing mechanism for plasma emitters and made them fully auto, because firing them like you used to have (hold button, let go, hold button, let go, hold button, let go, hold button, let goā¦) to was such a big downside.
And then hereās a new weapon that uses that same firing mechanism
