If you mean the breaker incendiary, I've found it works fine on bots even if it isn't the best fit

[–] zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah it was just non optimal. The funnier part about this whole episode was me falling down one of those pits about a minute in so I didn’t have a support weapon for about another 8 minutes either.

Had that happen yesterday, though I didn't fall into the hole, I was blowed up and somehow my stuff all fell into a hole, even though I didn't think I was all that close to it...

Had just spent the better part of the previous several minutes without it, too, since I got cut off from my first one, so I was like "guess I'm just not getting a support weapon this time..."

I finally picked up the double barrel shotgun that’s lying around. And found out it only comes with 2 rounds loaded, which I guess makes sense. Not a great time to find out though.

Yeah, that is a weakness, but it's surprisingly not a bad weapon once you get the ammo for it

Instructions unclear Now have flaming chainsaw terminators after me

[–] laurelraven@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago

It'll take down bergergers just fine too

I did this with the flamethrower, heavier armor and Breaker....and actually had a blast! It's very well suited for the smallest maps but takes down striders quickly. But you do have to get close enough, so sneaky sneaky cover is the play.

For the love of God check your fire before shooting that gun. I had a guy yesterday that no joke lit me on fire at least 5 times. On bots.

I have been known to issue field executions for those with poor aim

[–] Nommer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Really thought about it.

[–] zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure that wasn’t me.

[–] Nommer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nah not unless your in-game name starts with a Y lol

[–] zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

That’s not me. This time anyways.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This is me but with armor sets.

I wear light armor on bug worlds cause the extra mobility helps me navigate the chaos but I wear heavy armor for the bots cause I don't like being one tapped by a rocket launcher sniper from halfway across the map.

Every time I forget to switch I get gibbed.

[–] zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

I just can’t give up being able to sprint and recover. I switch over to the 6 stim armour instead.

My buddy always takes the laser beam rifle on every mission because he sucks at aiming. He accidentally picked up my incendiary shotgun when picking up my dropped samples. Now he has decided to try more than just one gun.
