The good:
-dakimakura (just hope it’s not gonna need so many stabilizers you needed to magically know this item was coming 2-3 passes ago)
-new wheels are not as torpedo-busted as thought for movement
-4 new wheels instead of 2 rare W even if it took them a little time to realize this (wish they had realized this in the previous pass and the hyenas they oversteer with about every other movement part than armored tracks)
-the Exodus is actually pretty nice
The bad:
-Dooms got overnerfed, the whole longer time before self destruct and retaining more damage is not noticeable in practice compared to the old Dooms and definitely not in any way helping at all with making the damage nerfs less extreme and noticeable, so all in all they just got a damage nerf to normal shots and a massive one for fully charged ones, in their current state there is no need to ever fully charge Doom shots, running three the normal shot is 140 damage, half-charge is 480 and full charge is 550 so you can just half-charge and spam them. They also made the weapon a lot less ranged combat and more spam at a close range / at a choke point in a map, so I hope the people who wanted them nerfed were after more Doomspam rather than charged shots being used
-Ouroboros is still bad, honestly I don’t spot much difference in use to the original Ouroboros, it’s still lacking, at least on reload weapons
The rest is neutral
Yup after playing the test prototypes brawl more, the shotgun just completely makes the other two guns completely useless to even consider, absolutely renders them obselete
Sitting this BP out. Last two were not that exciting or worth the time & $. Twice burned
Ditto.
OTOH…
Spark III
Energy drain reduced from 8 to 6 pts.
PS reduced from 1600 to 1200.
Damage reduced by 15%.Comment: reduced energy drain will make “Spark III” more convenient to use as a secondary weapon. The damage change is necessary to avoid a significant increase in damage dealt per energy point consumed.
Price should start dropping, so now I will mount 4, maybe even 5. Glad I saved my coins!
About this BP, for me it’s neutral.
With this testing the prototypes i tried the niddhog and… it’s seems i just can’t get enough of them.
I didn’t even tried anything else. Ad i have to
Let me mature this idea, this feeling of…
Let me try this old tub…well it turned out to be my favourite ship after i bought it.
I’m getting the same vibes with niddhogs
Other thing.
Are hammerfalls any good?
why are they so cheap, right now?
I would imagine they’d be ok to use, I tried to use thunderbolts at one point when nobody wanted them and they were like 100 coins or something and they worked ok, definitely not instant guaranteed win meta but I’ve used worse 300-500-coin weapons many times, so I imagine them being cheap is not because they’re complete trash, but because they’re not guaranteed success at the push of a button anymore, with people after free skills moving onto other more recent shotguns or weapons that you can bring into a battle and do whatever and still do better than most people as a norm. I still sometimes run into people with hammefalls doing pretty good so that further fortifies me believing that they’re not as bad as the price suggests. Same with Parsers.
Other option is that being such an old weapon absolutely everyone was using back when shotgun wedges were a problem, every player and their mother already has it fused and sitting in their inventory so there’s no real market for them anymore, and insert current pass OP weapon does better than stock Hammerfalls so “new” players won’t bother getting any, leading to prices dropping like flies
Hammerfalls are good when lots of other people are running weapons that rely on their rotation speed. Especially if you run them on Bigfoots so that the perk keeps charging.
So it depends on the types of enemies you’re seeing a lot of.
My favourite type of weapon, not because they are old but because their are battle tested and somewhat escaped or were forgotten by the devs and their buffs ad nerfs
A weapon that i’m really enjoying is the niddhog, at a certain point i was on my way to get them both ( 6 thunderbolts and 6 fafnirs ) but i lost my patience along the way ( building times ).
I’m trying to see Extremums or niddhog and i’m enjoying more the later…
That’s important, but what do i seek?
If i was Batman, then the cannon builds would be the bat signal, dogs, melee, the usual targets.
I’m going to have a relapse, back to the old ways
