What to Craft with our Lighters?

I have every BP cab and 16 build slave spots. My cab totals are: Beholder 4 builds, Hadron 4 builds, Nova 3 builds
Blight 3 builds Kami 1 build, Echo 1 build.

Of these, all are power fused except for Blight and Hadron which are weight fused.

My movement part totals are: Icarus VII 5 builds, Icarus IV 2 builds, Hermit 3 builds, Sleipnir 5 builds Bigram 1 build.

I seem to avoid heavy cabs in my play.

I use to do that but then they started tossing them into the BP challenges. Right now that’s one of the few little things that keeps them viable.

I haven’t fully decided yet… I’m leaning towards a couple of Barriers. I don’t have any, and figure that might be a fun and useful lil toy to play with. I’ll certainly do several of the dailies, but there’s no guarantee of that. The weeklies are easy to accomplish (so far).

Same. I just find they’re too slow to be fun for me.

That’s pretty much the only time I run any of them. If they didn’t take an energy slot hit, maybe I’d play them more often. I have almost every light & medium cabin, but am missing 6/14 of the heavies with no intention or interest in ever getting them.

I mean, aside from the limit on energy, their abysmal slowness, the perks are sometimes just dumb. 15% boost in damage to weapons with limited turning radius? Really? That’s a perk? Talk about niche! :clown_face:

They should think about making the bonus rate better for the heavies to compensate. Like you know how everyone complains about cerbs getting a worse melee weapon than a melee weapon. On a heavy maybe it should be better… Same for a rad or cooler effect.

From another thread with a similar topic… changes the math on all of this significantly.

They announced that they reconsidered on this and are offering weekly challenges up until the very end. I guess the Radiance backlash made them change their mind.

It changes only the remaining time. The number of lighters per regular week remains the same. Without weeklies per week you’ll get 30 lighters.

Alright then. I’m getting my third Nothung, crafting 3 more Sleipnirs and calling it even. New mini Battlepass I’m not paying for.

Both weeklies and dailies are easy. You can complete dailies in a couple of patrol quests and a few easy raids.

True, very true, but I’m not able to play every day. No matter how hard I try, I can’t complete these challenges without playing. :joy:

Some weeks, I have plenty of down time. Others… Not so much. The next couple of weeks will be on the "not so much"category.

That’s the trick indeed.

I also need at least an hour of my time to complete dailies AND regular weekly challenges. Every day…

Currently you can’t craft anything with them, the workbench is gone after the update

I hope it’s a bug or something, or that it at least returns once this current money milk-I mean mini battle pass is over

It’s there for me. I dunno what went wrong.

If you play MGs and miniguns the same way(obnoxiously holding down the trigger, or spray and pray as you put it), ofc you would think arbiters are the best. Now if you tap fire and aim, MGs beat out arbiters all day every day, Aspects included.

But no way in hell are they the same playstyle of weapon, unless you play MGs poorly. Period.

I only spool up when I know something is in range.

Uh… duh.

And, you don’t play piercers and vectors the same, either, even though they’re both machine guns.

But yeah… they’re all spray & pray type weapons. Heck, even autocannons play about the same.

If you wanna nit-pick posts, go right ahead, and I’ll be sure to add every single caveat to every single thing I post forever so this becomes more akin to a political debate than an actual conversation. :roll_eyes:

Period. <-added to emphasize what an awesome debate winning comment I just made. :clown_face: :upside_down_face:

Seems like they fixed it, it was gone right after the update but now it’s back. Phew

mine is still gone

I did craft some of the new tracks with my lighters… and I don’t think I like tracks.

Spend some more time with them, I find it takes me a while to get into a groove with them.
They’ll never be my A-tier choice, but I always come back to them when I get bored of wheels and strafing parts.

Same with me, normally it takes me a few days to get use to them again but they can be fun and rewarding.

I missed a lot of dailies so i wont be able to get enough lighters to get another fused nothung. So ill probably spend my +level lighters on a pair of fused slepnirs.
