@lucasleite694Ай бұрын
Dude your English is perfect. A quasar is an astronomy thing. It’s very luminous bc it’s a lot of gas spiraling into a supermassive black hole really really fast. A supermassive black hole is so big it can be the center of galaxies with its gravitational pull and bc of this a quasar can also be the center of a galaxy. iirc The reason a quasar is specifically distinct from a black hole is its brightness (bc a black hole is so gravitationally strong it sucks in all light around so it emits no light hence the name “black hole” and a quasar is trillions times brighter than our sun in comparison)

Apart from not needing ammo, there is no comparison to the arc thrower. The arc thrower is generally used for a primary because you can use it most of the time. It does take skill to use it well, including aiming. If your aim is off you won’t arc through as many enemies and will get overrun. This weapon is far more like a support weapon than can be used at times instead of an EAT, Spear or recoilless rifle.

25:45 In the discussion of arc thrower vs the quasar cannon, id say they are both great, with the fact that they have unlimited ammo and can tackle any enemy. Id side with the arc thrower still, only because you can do great with a team of 4 arc throwers vs 4 cannons, since the arcs Versatility will translate better than having 4 guys who are REALLY good at taking out the tough enemies. Solo id say cannon, with a 4 man, id want more versatility, but 2 cannons and 2 throwers would be amazing. I'd say take whatever your team comp is missing
@BizcazАй бұрын
1 Arc Thrower + 2 Quasars and a weapon of choice is a good ratio. A single Arc thrower is enough to deal with Light Armored units and mobs. In later difficulties the 10 second cooldown can add up so you'll need alot of anti-armor. You can supplement the comp with a flame thrower for ADS or grenade launcher for bug holes but it just depends on the planet or mission. Can't go wrong with a 2:2 or 1:3 ratio for Arc+Quasar either.

When I initially played around with this gun, my first thought was "Wow, why would I bother taking the EAT or Recoilless now?" But the devs continue to be clever and I realized why they were OK putting this gun in the game despite the fact it seems like such an obvious upgrade. The charge up and cool down, if mismanaged, can be BRUTAL in ways the EAT or Recoilless simply are not. Sure, it doesn't require ammo, but if you're in the thick of chaos and you simply don't have the breathing room to sit, charge up, and maintain a well-placed headshot... well, that's where the EAT and Recoilless out-class the Quasar. Not that the Quasar can't be used on short notice, but doing so puts you at risk in ways the other anti-tank weapons don't. Having the ability to simply sling out an anti-tank and pop it off on demand is REALLY powerful, and that's an ability the Quasar doesn't have. That said, it absolutely SHINES in scenarios where you DO have the breathing room to make those shots, like when taking down Shrieker nests at a distance or Chargers/Bile Titans that are chasing teammates.

And remember to use it often, the recharge is relatively quick after each shot so don't be afraid to pop some medium enemies if no heavies are available. And practice taking out dropships with it, if you start charging it early before it gets into position you can kill it and everything in it before the drop happens.

My loadout initially with QC has been similar. Couple changes. I'm getting away from the shield, because I don't think its quite pulling its weight on bugs. Instead, I'm using a combination of Slugger/Rover to cover mediums/chaff, keeping the 500kg and airstrike, and using stun grenades, because the syun grenades synergize well with QC and 500kg against both bile titans and chargers to hold them still while you get your shot. Airstrike also pairs well with stun grenades because you can freeze whole packs inside it, finish chargers etc. and airstrike/500kg are both solid for closing holes and taking out objectives, which along with QC now being able to close holes makes the loss of grenades much more manageable. QC is solid. I don't think its a complete replacement for EATs in a team though. They cover eachothers weaknesses.

Why nerf the rail gun and then give us something stronger
@potter196Ай бұрын
Bro hop off it. Railgun was OP. Took 1 sec to charge and reload and could 1-2 shot everything except bile titans and tanks, which instead took 4-5 shots. This weapon takes about 2.5 seconds to fire once, and about 10 to cool down, and is meant for heavies specifically. So no, this is not more powerful than pre-nerf railgun

@potter196Ай бұрын
@@potter196 let's say you are being attacked by 4 heavy devestators. Quasar will take over 45 sec to kill them all, and if you hit it wrong it will not one shot. Railgun can take all of them out in 1/4 that time if you just shoot the pack with a full charge shot. Hulks also only get one shot if hit in the eye, meaning you will likely need a stun to do so, and the AMR can do the same thing. Really the main thing it can do is take out drop ships. Quasar is good if 2 people have it as they can make up for the cooldown, but it is too slow if you are alone

When they keep adding shit like this it makes the railgun nerf seem counter intuitive. The arc thrower takes like 7 seconds to kill a charger and the railgun takes about 20 seconds to do the same thing. They need to make it so a fully charged shot is reached quicker and also they need to revert some of the penetration falloff for not having a 100% charged shot bc that thing is absolutely trash now

The railgun is way better than you're making it out to be. The problem it has is it feels bad to miss your shots because it doesn't have infinite ammo while the arc thrower does. And of course the community will ignore the downsides of anything that can one-shot a charger because killing one in one shot feels very impressive and valuable.
@creativityfails1Ай бұрын
You can peel the armor off the charger armor even Bile Titans. It is a little hard as the arc goes for center mass, so peeling the leg armor is difficult. You can break open the charger body armor after 8-10 hits. May as well just aim for headshots. The Bile titan body armor is a little more inconsistent.

Dude your English is perfect. A quasar is an astronomy thing. It’s very luminous bc it’s a lot of gas spiraling into a supermassive black hole really really fast. A supermassive black hole is so big it can be the center of galaxies with its gravitational pull and bc of this a quasar can also be the center of a galaxy. iirc The reason a quasar is specifically distinct from a black hole is its brightness (bc a black hole is so gravitationally strong it sucks in all light around so it emits no light hence the name “black hole” and a quasar is trillions times brighter than our sun in comparison)

Apart from not needing ammo, there is no comparison to the arc thrower. The arc thrower is generally used for a primary because you can use it most of the time. It does take skill to use it well, including aiming. If your aim is off you won’t arc through as many enemies and will get overrun. This weapon is far more like a support weapon than can be used at times instead of an EAT, Spear or recoilless rifle.
yup, i still think arc thrower is the only t0 weapon for bugs. DPS & AOE is far better than quasar. Yet, i think quasar is dope against bots since it doesnt take your backpack slot nor ammo
@@jackchan7129only problem is if you get flinched by not being spot on with the peek and shoot it is wasted and you miss.

25:45 In the discussion of arc thrower vs the quasar cannon, id say they are both great, with the fact that they have unlimited ammo and can tackle any enemy. Id side with the arc thrower still, only because you can do great with a team of 4 arc throwers vs 4 cannons, since the arcs Versatility will translate better than having 4 guys who are REALLY good at taking out the tough enemies. Solo id say cannon, with a 4 man, id want more versatility, but 2 cannons and 2 throwers would be amazing. I'd say take whatever your team comp is missing
1 Arc Thrower + 2 Quasars and a weapon of choice is a good ratio. A single Arc thrower is enough to deal with Light Armored units and mobs. In later difficulties the 10 second cooldown can add up so you'll need alot of anti-armor. You can supplement the comp with a flame thrower for ADS or grenade launcher for bug holes but it just depends on the planet or mission. Can't go wrong with a 2:2 or 1:3 ratio for Arc+Quasar either.
The comparison doesn't even make sense, arc thrower can deal with swarms and medium enemies easily, the quasar cannon can't, the cannon can deal with big enemies, the arc thrower can but still not as efficiently
@@itriyum you just compared them in a way that made sense, in the point I was trying to get across

Love it so much!! Thanks to it. I did my first ever solo helldive run😊 So it must be good xD
When I initially played around with this gun, my first thought was "Wow, why would I bother taking the EAT or Recoilless now?" But the devs continue to be clever and I realized why they were OK putting this gun in the game despite the fact it seems like such an obvious upgrade. The charge up and cool down, if mismanaged, can be BRUTAL in ways the EAT or Recoilless simply are not. Sure, it doesn't require ammo, but if you're in the thick of chaos and you simply don't have the breathing room to sit, charge up, and maintain a well-placed headshot... well, that's where the EAT and Recoilless out-class the Quasar. Not that the Quasar can't be used on short notice, but doing so puts you at risk in ways the other anti-tank weapons don't. Having the ability to simply sling out an anti-tank and pop it off on demand is REALLY powerful, and that's an ability the Quasar doesn't have. That said, it absolutely SHINES in scenarios where you DO have the breathing room to make those shots, like when taking down Shrieker nests at a distance or Chargers/Bile Titans that are chasing teammates.
the quasar is such a joy to play with, its definitely number 1 or 2 on support weapons, only issue is the charge up to fire but its not a massive issue, easily an S tier weapon
It can one shot Drop Ships, which makes it a must on Automaton planets
I sincerely hope they don't nerf it, and instead bring everything else up to compete with it (like making the lock-on launcher 1-shot a titan no matter what, for starters)
i think that titans should be 2 shot, but i also think it needs an extra rocket in the backpack and 2 rockets given back on resupply
Just gotta hit it in the head
I wouldnt mind if they "nerfed" the cool down, but made it so if you use a back pack that could come with it you get the regular cool down. I feel like it is too strong, but using up a back pack slot would make it worh it.
Yeah, I want my [insert any weapon] to trivialize any enemy.
@@h4xorzist Yeah, I want my [insert high level weapon] to make higher tier enemies manageable
21:45 yes, and everytime an bulk is there this means that there are devestators so the only way to kill the patroll without them calling ships and then spawing 20 bulks is too either not shoot at them or spam stun grenade and ⬆➡⬇⬇⬇ them then kill the bulk with the quasar
If you want to go for more kills it might help to clear bug holes because it might make patrols more common. Love your videos!
So, to two shot a bile titan you have to hit it in the head ( not mouth, head DOES NOT have any additional weakpoints ) while it is not in an animation, as it seems to give the thing some sort of damage reduction
This gun is way worse into bots than you might expect. If you take any shots whilst charging you will flinch and send the shot off into the distance (or a nearby wall and you die). Much less reliable than it is into bugs. This problem exists with other guns sure but the window to get shot with this thing is so much longer.
Then don't miss the drop ship 😂
Then, wear a shield. Just played Helldive difficulty with shield and had absolutely nothing affect me when using the Quasar. 1 shot tanks, Hulks, dropships, base turret cannon. It is arguably the best support weapon right now
Agreed, this is what I found as well. With an EAT you can instantly fire at that hulk or tank, with this you get flinched so easily by enemy fire. Autocannon still the best against bots though.
@@Unahim you get flinched because you don't wear a shield
I think its still good to bring to bots. The cannon can one shot Dropships, and I've seen 1-2 shots on a Hulk. Havent used it on a Tank yet, though. But Im sure its an instant kill if you hit the weak spot.

"This shouldn't be x because x" isn't a good argument because it leads too one of two different scenarios. Scenario 1. Item that caused discrepancy gets adjusted to be "in-line" with others. Scenario 2. The original question gets put into a loop because now both items are exceptions, all others are now held to their regard and everything becomes "Why would I give up item x for x".
I’ll never understand the amount of stupidity someone has to hold in their brain to forge a thought like this
@@desmonddavis3422 you have to charge the railgun practically all the way up for it to be good
Rail gun shoots faster. And is better for anything under a charger.
Why are you killing bugs when the major order is bots soldier!? Yes it one shots bot dropships for all the patriots who are following orders.
Definitely recommend bringing the shield backpack with this against bots to soak up the little shots as you charge it. And remember to use it often, the recharge is relatively quick after each shot so don't be afraid to pop some medium enemies if no heavies are available. And practice taking out dropships with it, if you start charging it early before it gets into position you can kill it and everything in it before the drop happens.
Love your channel! We have similar play styles so your videos are the most relevant to me of anyone out there right now. Just an FYI, it's pronounced KWAY-zar, after the astronomical term. They're really neat objects to learn about. I can also see why they named it this way because quasars radiate MASSIVE amounts of energy. I would link the Wikipedia entry but I think KZhead may not allow it. In any case, thank you so much for your videos!!
I feel like they should just buff the railgun back to what it was. If they are just going to give us new weapons that make old ones obsolete.
Maybe the JAR-5 Dominator would be a good hybrid for crowd clear and deal with hive guards
at the same time, the scorcher exists
@@Nitecookiescorcher is 10000x better than the jar
@@shrek8052absolutely
7:08 Just a heads up, if you pre-gather the SEAF artillery shells in a pile in front of the loader, you can start the loading process, load them all, and finish the objective before any enemies that spawn to 'counter' the activity get to you, since the enemies spawn to counter the activity as soon as you activate the terminal.
A tip for chargers with this weapon is if u run towards them on the side they would need to stop and turn around. You can charge the gun up when they are turning so u have a headshot when they fully turned around.
It's "kway-zar" but yeah, it looks really good.
Any nerf would probably just be time in between shots
We can pray thats the way they go about it
That sounds like it would be the most realistic nerf that would make it not instantly better than RR
Yeah very very slow cooling or even longer spin up. Nerfing dmg could feel bad but 2 for chargers, 2 for hulks and 3 for titans could still be ok.
Nice, I've been needing a weapon to use with a shield pack so was using EAT. This is the new EAT
holy as soon as i saw this video, i immediately open the game and play for awhile. This weapon is really great. It can 1 shot the charger like crazy. Pretty much solo the game
Honestly shocked they didn't force us to wear a backpack for this, but am now fearing the inevitable nerf coming to stomp on peoples fun once more
Kw-way-czar!!!
About bug stealth. I think i recall a video about stealth mentioning that bugs can follow a scent trail to you if they cross where you have been depending on their level of alert. Could be wrong, but it seems to be why they are able to track you after they investigate where you were.
My loadout initially with QC has been similar. Couple changes. I'm getting away from the shield, because I don't think its quite pulling its weight on bugs. Instead, I'm using a combination of Slugger/Rover to cover mediums/chaff, keeping the 500kg and airstrike, and using stun grenades, because the syun grenades synergize well with QC and 500kg against both bile titans and chargers to hold them still while you get your shot. Airstrike also pairs well with stun grenades because you can freeze whole packs inside it, finish chargers etc. and airstrike/500kg are both solid for closing holes and taking out objectives, which along with QC now being able to close holes makes the loss of grenades much more manageable. QC is solid. I don't think its a complete replacement for EATs in a team though. They cover eachothers weaknesses.
I don't need an ammo backpack? Cool, that's my new main gun. I don't think the devs consider how big of a deal this makes in people's choices.
It's almost mind boggling how a self recharging eat like this could manage it past balance testing.
Yeah this weapon is pretty insane. The only downside is the chargeup and the fact that you can't time the release, both can be played around with skill.
@@h4xorzistthey might nerf the recharge rate a lil
@@h4xorzistit’s balanced in that you can’t panic fire as quickly as the EAT and letting go of the trigger basically restarts the firing animation. When you’re getting swarmed by hunters/stalkers or shot at by rocket devastators this will be more apparent. I will still run EAT’s on bug missions where there is no stratagem cooldown increase.
@@IWASTEDMYTIME Once. Otherwise you have to ⬆⬆⬅⬆➡ and wait about 10s. For the quasar you only need an opening whenever it presents itself. It will always be ready and on you as long as you live no matter where you run. The advantage is massive. Also, at extract you will likely have 2 of them yourself completely dominating all other options.
Quasar is effectively an energy recoiless rifle and I'm here for it. Its recharge is basically the same as you have to self reload the recoiless, but with none of the downtime basically.
Yea it's just straight up better. Don't know why anyone would use the RR now.
@HaloDude557 If you're doing the team reload it pumps out way more damage in a short time span. Not a lot of people like doing that though for whatever reason
@@HaloDude557or the EAT
@@Sharsis88because it’s extremely niche, requires tons of ammo and communication, and is just shitty in general. Why is the guy doing the reload the one wearing the pack? It makes no sense for no reason.
@giygas9305 EAT-17 is still a 2 for 1 call down, the call down itself can be used as a weapon itself when it's needed, and you can do what my friends and I call "the homeless build" where you just pickup and use whatever is on the floor when not using the EAT-17. The team reload mechanic isn't shitty. It just requires planning. It's quite fun and effective once you have a dedicated plan in place with a buddy. I do agree that the weapon user should have the backpack on and the person just assists though
I am constantly forgetting about the SEAF in all of my solo runs too. I've been trying to make a point of using it more just so I'm more efficient, but it feels like it has to be forced a lot of the time. I'll always remember if I load a mini nuke into it first though - those things rock.
Man i miss the prenerf railgun that thing felt so good to use But this looks like fun aswell. I just cant keep the horde in check well enough to make it work
Why would it dethrone the arc thrower? Or why would you even compare them? One is basically a rocket launcher which is designed for armored enemies and big targets while the arc thrower is way more useful agaisnt medium and small enemies, it can still deal with big enemies but its clearly not the best. Makes no sense to make a comparison.
Because some people only have one dimensional minds and think only in terms of raw damage output against the toughest target.
EAT is my favourite support weapon, but I have to admit that it just got replaced. At least until they nerf it and ruin the fun.
As soon as he said we are not just gonna rush the objective I hit the like button, I salute you good sir 🫡
This gun is so good dude like the trade off is not being able to take care of medium armor targets cause you'll be locked on the higher armor things but its still so good.
Im more worried about what's coming that makes it necessary
For everyone who wants actual information it has a 10 second cooldown between shots.
I think that the primary weopon could be more diverse with medium armor braking like the slugger shotgun so that you don't have to use grenades to handle the bile spewers or the hive guard which opens the possibility to get nests. You already have a weapon to handle the big guys and the stratagem for the small guys and now for the medium could be the primary
Good video, i subbed 🐼
Why nerf the rail gun and then give us something stronger
Bro hop off it. Railgun was OP. Took 1 sec to charge and reload and could 1-2 shot everything except bile titans and tanks, which instead took 4-5 shots. This weapon takes about 2.5 seconds to fire once, and about 10 to cool down, and is meant for heavies specifically. So no, this is not more powerful than pre-nerf railgun
@Darksiege357 yeah I not going to hop off anything. It one shots everything. You have your opinion and I have mine.
@@potter196 let's say you are being attacked by 4 heavy devestators. Quasar will take over 45 sec to kill them all, and if you hit it wrong it will not one shot. Railgun can take all of them out in 1/4 that time if you just shoot the pack with a full charge shot. Hulks also only get one shot if hit in the eye, meaning you will likely need a stun to do so, and the AMR can do the same thing. Really the main thing it can do is take out drop ships. Quasar is good if 2 people have it as they can make up for the cooldown, but it is too slow if you are alone
@Darksiege357 actually used it vs the bots for the 1st time last night, and except for drop ships, it was underwhelming. Bugs it works much much better. I actually prefer the rail vs bots
When they keep adding shit like this it makes the railgun nerf seem counter intuitive. The arc thrower takes like 7 seconds to kill a charger and the railgun takes about 20 seconds to do the same thing. They need to make it so a fully charged shot is reached quicker and also they need to revert some of the penetration falloff for not having a 100% charged shot bc that thing is absolutely trash now
This take is so dumb lol
I dont know if Ive ever seen an arc thrower peel armor off of a charger but Im happy to be corrected
Could simply add one second more before it explodes at max charge.
The railgun is way better than you're making it out to be. The problem it has is it feels bad to miss your shots because it doesn't have infinite ammo while the arc thrower does. And of course the community will ignore the downsides of anything that can one-shot a charger because killing one in one shot feels very impressive and valuable.
You can peel the armor off the charger armor even Bile Titans. It is a little hard as the arc goes for center mass, so peeling the leg armor is difficult. You can break open the charger body armor after 8-10 hits. May as well just aim for headshots. The Bile titan body armor is a little more inconsistent.
belo video meu mano!
bro clean video!
This is going to get nerfed by a lot. Either they'll decrease the damage or increase the charge time, or both. In the meantime, though, it's a field day for Democracy! Go get those heavies!
I'm so tired of hearing people talk about nerfs in a PVE game. Have the devs even nerfed anything other than that one patch for the railgun, shield and breaker? Seems like they only nerfed those items because people were only using them and nothing else while others were getting kicked for not using them
Well seeing that this is EAT but infinite ammo and always on hand it seems like they are gonna do some damage nerfs to make other options viable still
@@ShattedOn ok its better than one weapon you unlock at level 3 who cares
@Feed-Your-Head that one weapon is probably one of the best strategems, it also beats the recoiless, the spear, railgun, flamethrower varies depending on what its use is, laser cannon
@@ShattedOn Against bots, the 3s charge-up often leads to flinching and missing. Both EAT and RR have way better economy of movement. Not convinced EAT is obsolete just yet.
@@ShattedOn They're different weapons for different situations. I'd take the Autocannon over the EAT for bots any day
quasar vs automatons next pls! btw try orbital airburst instead of cluster, its really good against breaches!
1 shot buildings thru vents, performs very well against turret/tank, one shot engine on dropship. 1 shot on hulk at face.
i've already had it miss due to flinching from gunfire seems balanced, also we have the lighting gun of hell to compete with when it comes to bugs so sure, it fucked up bugs but so does everything else
Ima say it. BUFF THE RAILGUN! I always said nerfs werent the answer. We need buffs!
no
@@SpeCifiC0507 ye
No
@@ism5216 Nah.
@@Darksiege357 ye
This feels weird, they nerfed the railgun, but the Quasar Cannon is basically just the railgun but better
No it isn't. You can fire off 20 shots of the rail gun in half the time it takes to fire 20 of these
And those 20 shots accomplish virtually nothing. Quasar Cannon is a better weapon in nearly every situation, unless you're looking at some of the medium armored enemies, but primaries can fill that niche. Railgun is obsolete in terms of balance. At this point, it's just something to bring along if you enjoy using it.
@@Legendary_Honey they accomplish nothing if you're inaccurate.
cool video, i also wanted to ask you if you can make a video with tips and tricks or overall analysis of your gameplay? im a level 22 with quite good equipment yet struggle on level 7-9, any tips on how i can fix that?
I think you would do well with the las Sickle primary. It takes some getting used to, but i haven’t gone back to breaker since.
Kwae-Zsar 😊
I hate this game's balance team. Quasar cannon is objectively so mind numbingly busted its insane it even went past QA. Compare it to an already S tier weapon, the recoiless : it doesnt take backpack slot, doesnt need to be reloaded, has infinite effing ammo, and cools down in the same time it would take to reload the recoiless, With the ONLY downside being taking 2 seconds to fire. What. The. Fk.
Everyone will love it and use it, then they will nerf it and insult you for using and liking it lol
Your high .... It's down sides are massive... recoilless can fire faster and eat as well... You can take out chargers alot faster... It has charge time and downtime for next shot. It's actually pretty balanced for it's uses. Your probably a railgun main 😏 don't understand balance at all.... This is probably the most balanced support weapon released yet.
@@dipilisedroy7481 "they" didnt do any such thing, it was one guy on reddit, not the balance team in general. also, he didn't insult anyone for "liking and using" the railgun - he insulted people for whining about a nerf to the OP meta thing. that said, Railgun needs love, I love railguns and its just not great anymore.
Agree. Put a backpack on it or rebalance the other weapons to be better.
@@xD3m0nx I cannot tell if this is sarcasm or not, as it cannot be differentiated from comments I've seen on the railgun debate.
Impressive, earned the sub.
Thx for sharing this loadout. Why do you prefer the breaker over the incendiary against the bugs? Maybe cause it has more stagger?
This calls for a buff to the Railgun... I mean... Infinite ammo and 1 shot chargers, really?
It's a Unlimited Ammo, Recoilless rifle ... pair it with the Jump Pack and it's flying death =)
no it doesn’t. the railgun was too good for what it was, quasar is literally a highly concentrated laser blast, makes sense for it to be that powerful. plus it still has drawbacks it’s not a multi tool like the railgun used to be
@@ubulayne_ exactly. Try making use of the quasar cannon with 4 Stalkers on you.
@@ubulayne_bug sympathizer spotted
Are we gonna hear about the rail gun and every time they release a good weapon? Damn, rail gun whiners are the most annoying people in this community
So they nerf fhe railgun witch took 2 shots to break armor and a few shotgun shots to the broken armor and add a one shot rechargeable cannon???? Stupid
Outstanding playthrough mate! Brilliant shooting and superb tactical management (supplies, movement, air strikes...). My only gripe is that you didn't use the artillery support more often ;) Nonetheless: Bravo!
As soon as I saw the new weapons I was hyped for your content with them even though the heavy machine gun sucks
Unpopular opinion: I don't think you should be able to completely benefit from the speed boost of wearing light armour whilst lugging that thing around.
So in your opinion heavy armour should be slowed even further by lugging this around?
@@Unahim No. That maybe there should be a weight thing with a cap so you can be slowed down by weight to a max. Or heavy/medium/light become keywords on gear and say even if you have light armour equipped if you have a heavy item you have a speed/stamina debuff. There are multiple ways you could do it with heavy armour becoming redundant. Servo assisted could be changed to allow you to carry heavy items without penalty and that keyword being limited only to medium armour.
As far as this wep is concerned (which isn’t firing a physical payload), you’re also basing your suggestion on the assumption that it is actually heavy. Just because something is large does not mean it’s inherently heavy. Given that this is a futuristic game, it’s certainly not out of the question for it to be quite light.
@@KazekanAgiel Lasers are heavy...it's also newer tech so they haven't mastered miniaturising it.
setup is good i run sickle instead of breaker tho, only bug that gets in the way a bit would be the hive guards.
This one seems fun but i been using arc thrower and loving it, the wave clear is great and i been taking out chargers 5-7 shots to the head and if u kno how to shoot it fast, u can kill it b4 it even reaches you. Also killed titans 3-4 shots if all shots go to the head, pretty insane. Plz dnt nerf it lol.
I would get this setup but I like the slugger more as it can deal with hive guards and bile spewers better imo :D and I would do gas or airburst for the unarmored, but the logic is the same i guess :D
you can set that secondary to singlefire and just doubletap the small bugs. it gets like 10-15 small bugs per magazine.
I think i'd be a lot of fun to bring in the Quasar as well as EATs. Shred through nests, spore spewers, turrets, chargers, and titans alike
Well executed mate!
The sneak play against bugs: they can see you, hear you, and smell you. So there’s a radius to where they can smell you and I believe your sent is left behind for a short period.
You and quasar made.this look easy, love the gameplay mate and I really don't see a reason to use anything else against bugs than this.
Quasar literally fills the one slot I felt was missing in my loadout for killing Biles. With this I feel so much more confident on higher difficulties.
6:20 thats why u use the slugger. Complements the loadout perfectly
Was using the Quasar earlier today, and man what a great weapon. Now, I just want a better heat-based pistol. Like a plasma pistol or something. The dagger is lackluster at best.
Btw if you equip grenades before taking a resupply you end up with 5/4 or 7/6 grenades.
