Waiting for the Corax nerf

How are you all using your increased free time from not playing as much crossout per day due to the Corax spam? I re-started my hobby of painting and have started a brand new run of Pokemon Violet

Corax is sooo annoying to fire, it should be strong considering it’ll break controller buttons :joy:
I agree it needs a nerf, but hopefully nothing too much because it’ll never be used again.
And it stops people from wanting to buy passes.

im a bit confused on how the corax works.
some people say the exploding re-bar it has still explodes even if you shoot it off. but i for the life of me cant figure out how to shoot an explosive from it lol.
do you need charges accumulated to shoot an explosive? am i just that clueless here?
i havent played around with it because i just dont like how it functions. the whole charge shot thing i never agreed with. i prefer the spike and commit over it, heck even the phoenix i prefer over it.
can anyone tell me how it works? ill probably experiment around with it later to see if i can get the explosive bolts to happen.

Basically you can shoot the explosive bolt whenever, charges only effect the normal bolts but the explosive one is always at max efficiency and you can’t really shoot it off in practice, no matter if it was designed to be shot off or not

I imagine that it is supposed/will be changed to work so that it does more damage based on how much charge you have in the Corax, but at least currently it seems to work that you can shoot the explosive bolt at any charge level and it does the max damage it can do.

Also I imagine the have “accidentally” left the hitbox of the bolt to be kinda faulty so it’s hard to shoot off, I have seen multiple cases where one somehow gets lodged so deep into a build that the Argus can’t reach it and shoot it off.

But we’ll see only when the next battle pass comes I guess when they start selling the next broken thing and have to nerf the last so people buy shiny new easy win toy

but when i shoot the bolt it always shoots a normal bolt and not the explosive one. do i have to wait until the tension charge is depleted before shooting an explosive bolt? i always thought if the tension runs out itll just shoot it automatically but at a lower damage rating.

i dont remember the perk exactly but i think you have to hit a few times and when it charges, you wait until the tension runs out and then its explosive.

at some point it will need to make space for the new dollar maker in the next BP, but if it stays profitable it might stay for a while longer.
but once it becomes the next weapon on the chopping block, the devs will probably overnerf and kill the weapon like all the other metas

Yes, once you let the tension run out, your bolt turns into the explosive one

So kind of like an anti-Varun, where if you let the tension run out, your shot looses power and won’t fly as far, but on the Corax if it runs out, no matter how many perks you’ve stacked, you get the explosive bolt instead of being punished

logical conclusion for the weapon that would still make it good:
Keep it the same but you only get the explosive bolt if you’ve stacked the perk fully. Impact damage for the explosive bolt is lowered considerably (I’ve seen the bolts just shoot off guns before they even can attach to them because of how much on-hit damage it does). They could even boost the damage of the explosion a little if they do this and still have it be more balanced than it is now

Nice middle ground:
The damage/impact damage of the explosive bolt is directly tied to the perk, if at 3 it’s 100%, then at 2 it’s 50%, 1 perk is 25%, or something like that (of whatever bloated parameters this thing has now, the damage of the explosive bolts is just insane)

The one we’ll get most obviously:
Just change and alter nothing, nerf the stats to the ground and then pretend it never existed in the first place. If community cries too much, maybe tweak the weight and hp ratios just enough to appear like you care but not have any impact in actual gameplay

I also pursued a few artistic things, mainly tried out some felting, currently needle felting a random doll dude guy to get the gist of how the material (wool) handles, and after that will be wet felting an abstract artistic pot holder for a birthday present for an elderly relative

Guy has yellow pants and red shoes so far. Not bad for a first ever try at this stuff

let it be! it’s a shitty weapon. 12000ps two shots with an explosion are enough. I have 2x compiler cannon and it won’t do anything to them.

The more I use my 2 Corax the more trash they feel.
Only op on a p2w hover, or on a top meta No Skill build.

corax cars also exist, even if it works better on a hover

Kdy uĹľ to bude ?

WAY WAY too OP…

screenshot-260202-104832(26;3;45)

so are Spikes…

I don’t agree that they’re particularly OP. I think we’re just seeing a lot of them because a lot of people have recently unlocked them, and are trying them out.

If a player is already good with other long range weapons, they’ll be able to do well with these, but I think there are much stronger sniper weapons out there.

I still haven’t decided which weapon to spend my lighters on. The shotgun seems like the easiest to use, but doesn’t seem particularly strong. The hybrid thing is interesting and possibly the strongest weapon in the BP, but seems fiddly to use, and also doesn’t seem stronger than many of the other DPS options out there. Corvax is mostly appealing because it fixes the most annoying aspects of using Varuns. But I still can’t see myself spending whole matches charging and releasing shots.

I’ll probably just get whichever one is most expensive on the market, and buy the others later.

If they were going to nerf it, reducing the explosive damage a little bit would be reasonable, or lengthening the reload/charge time a small amount.

I really hope they don’t give in to the whiners and over-nerf it.

You’re right. Widgets.
But the more i use my 2 Corax’s…
Man they are very Overrated.
Aspects are OP… Imp’s, fidgets. Waaaaay stronger.
Probably Any shotguns really.

It’s harder to say what Corax wins against really.

because of their small hitbox right?
i know they had bots that ran 3 aspects on a icebox cabin. those things could mess you up if you didnt knock off those guns.

why are they overrated? its pretty clear they outclass all other weapons in CC and its trivial to use them.
i thought i knew how OP they were, but then i actually played against them and learned they dont even need to hit an enemy to get the overpowered explosive bolt

I just hate the whole 4v4 PVP modes
So my opinion is a little different than most i’ll admit.

I don’t say it doesn’t need some nerf.

But compared to, lets say 5 IMP’s because I just realized that you can use 5… That vs 2 corax. I mean even on the most p2w meta set up I don’t see the Corax Winning.

4 Aspects are waaay better
But 3-4 legdndary’s vs 2 should be better???

Exactly this, low dura yes but very small.

But me saying my opinion
“if Corax needs nerfs, so does Aspects, Imp’s Fidgets”
I’m literally told by multiple people to “K M S” over a video game opinion. ETC.
Nothing new tho, if i say nerf hovers i get the same treatment.

If I were to Quit it’d be because of how toxic the community.

Also I say Nerf Athena and now apparently everyone says they suck lol. Community makes no sense sometimes.
