Yes - and I've also noticed that the Spear is either super inconsistent against the Harvester and the Ships/facilities, or is just does very little damage.
Unrelated, but what primaries have you been running? I've tried a few of the SMGs, the base assault rifle, and the Arc shotgun. So far none feel 'good', although some definitely feel better than others.
Only been on lower difficulty but concussive liberator is decent. Gets space with the hordes and cc for the not-elites.
Brilliant! That sounds like just what I have been looking for. Can it take out a shield in one clip?
Ship shield? Yeah if you hit the orb thing. Illuminate hand shield? Not sure haven't tried.
Yes that's what I meant, thank you. Can't wait to try this tonight.
Very nice, ill definitely try that out
Running Eruptor, Purifier or similarly exploding primaries stun harvesters, you can alternate between those and non-explosive support weapons to "quickly" shredding one of the leg joints if you're not being chased by 40 betentacled voteless and flanked by 5 squidsquitoes.
😂 yeah the massive hordes have been very interesting to deal with.
Arc Blitzer is great for clearing voteless but lacks against the mosquidos and overseers so I usually pack a Senator or Grenade Gun as a secondary. Grenade gun is nice as it doubles up taking out saucers on land when the shields are down.
Someone mentioned the concussive liberator and I'm excited to try that tonight. I've been wanting something fast firing with punch to throw the heavier squids off balance. If it can down a shield in one clip I think that will be my new primary.
The charge energy rifle (next to scorcher) could be good but I'm not very comfortable with it.
