I really wouldn’t call Athena P2W. It’s the most P2A weapon but not “2win” one.
At least while it’s on the market.
And it’s slightly better than Destructor but only in a couple of traits.
Sure the gun is rangier than Destructor and I’m glad people are having some success with it but lets not get ahead of ourselves. This gun is 3 blocks high, has a large hitbox, there are only two of them and there is 372 durability. This makes the gun Scorp food. Any double scorp shot will take a gun. The 3 blocks high makes the gun very hard to build into a horseshoe like your average set of bunkered Nothungs, and makes the gun frail and hard to protect.
The good news is that the gun doesn’t need a lot or any extra reloading, so you have free energy to pack a lot of modules like a Reaper build. The best Athena builds I have run into have a Nova cabin and a Barrier 9 on a hover. They just kind of sit around and spam shields and shots like a Reaper build.
While I agree Hawk can be abrasive, it bears pointing out that other posters spout off false information posed as facts. It leads to confusion and takes away value from the forum.
I dunno, having Nova+Barrier9+2 Reapers can lead to the same result. It’s not an imbalanced weapon.
Let’s be honest: the only reason people talk about that weapon is the way of making it. “Crafting”, actually, but I wouldn’t attribute that process to craftsmanship.
And we’re yet to see whether that was a test or a precedent. There could be more weapons, cabins, movement pats, generators, engines, and support modules made of donate-only parts AND with limited “crafting time”.
We should discuss the outcomes of that possibility.

Thats exactly where i take issue. People spout off wildy incorrect stuff as facts. It wasnt a typo, dude thought 500 meters was a thing.
