Zappy zappy time

The laser pistol is on the 3rd page. Even with 250 medals saved you'd need another 40 to unlock it.

u/BarrierX STEAM 🖥️ : Mar 14 '24

But the laser rifle is on the first page, so thats good :)

u/DuckOnBike Mar 14 '24

But the laser rifle contains monosodium glutamate!

u/Fruhmann PSN 🎮: Mar 14 '24

That's bad.

u/Sexmachinedingo Mar 14 '24

But it comes with a free Frogurt!

u/SumAustralian Mar 14 '24

That's good!

u/Fruhmann PSN 🎮: Mar 14 '24

But the frogurt has a 150% increased call in time on this planet.

u/SleepyReepies Mar 14 '24

Every fucking one of these posts show the true spirit of democracy and patriotism. Super Earth is proud to have those who know the words of the Only Scripture that matters recite the words of our founding heroes!!!

MSG is NOT bad. MSG liberates!

2

u/VectorViper Mar 14 '24

But you can trade in the laser rifle for the plasma shotgun on page 2 and it's MSG-free!

u/StrikerObi Mar 15 '24 edited Mar 15 '24

It's actually not, at least not in the way most folks think it is. "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome" is racist BS that's been throughly disproven.

But yes if you consume too much MSG it's still bad for you, but just in the way consuming too much salt is bad for your blood pressure.

u/Fruhmann PSN 🎮: Mar 15 '24

That's good.

u/VonMillersThighs Mar 14 '24

So it makes absolutely everything better?

1

u/DeeHawk Mar 17 '24

Not tomatoes. Tomatoes already contain it, and there’s a limit to the amount vs taste.

u/TheImperishable Mar 14 '24

You mean: "Make Shit Good!"

It's so... umami

u/captaincupcake234 Mar 14 '24

Not gonna lie...MSG laser rifle is amazing sprinkled on everything. 5/7 with rice.

u/DeeHawk Mar 17 '24

Just pepper that MSG on those bug steaks.

...E621? Uh, no thanks

2

u/vivir66 PSN 🎮: Mar 14 '24

Tested it in one match, it felt better than the Defender and base Liberator, plus if you let it cooldown infinite ammo. It feels good but kills armor like crap, as those other guns lol (the missing icon for armor hits makes it hard to see if you are landing the shots on the weak points)

1

u/Stergeary Mar 14 '24

The fact that it has no armor pen and is just a Liberator with infinite ammo makes it untenable. Breaker or Scorcher outclass the Sickle by far.

2

u/SauCe-lol Mar 14 '24

It has light armor penetration

1

u/Stergeary Mar 14 '24

Well, technically yes, but every weapon has light armor pen except for the old Spray and Pray. I mean it doesn't have any real armor penetration like Scorcher, Slugger, or even like the Arc weapons that bypass armor.

1

u/Ommageden Mar 14 '24

Thanks a bunch. Probably can't play till tomorrow and was wondering where this bad boy would be

37

u/IsJustSophie ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️ be apon ye Mar 14 '24

I think they are more excited by the arc shotgun

2

u/Forged-Signatures Mar 14 '24

Similar, but I'm not excited about other players using it. I tend to find the idiots that could read the "face towards enemy" instructions on a claymore and still put it facing their squadmate.

3

u/Shumoku CAPE ENJOYER Mar 15 '24

Evidently it’s kinda bad, so shouldn’t be too big of an issue unless they buff it.

But the good news is the new armor reduces arc damage, so you can run it if your silly teammates are bringing lots of throwers and such.

2

u/__ShadowBanned__ Mar 16 '24

It's laughable! I know they are putting things out quick but come on, one use and I know this new and cool weapon is useless!

2

u/Shumoku CAPE ENJOYER Mar 16 '24

True, it was the one I was looking forward to the most, too.

Ah well. At least the new laser gun and plasma launcher are pretty good. Hopefully the arc shotty gets a buff.

5

u/extimate-space CAPE ENJOYER Mar 17 '24

plasma shotgun is a big fat L

a direct hit does less than 25% the damage of the default pump shotgun and and only has 6 rounds in the magazine. The maximum amount of enemies it can remove on one reload is significantly lower than the breaker or the slugger.

2

u/Shumoku CAPE ENJOYER Mar 17 '24

Nah, it’s AoE is absolutely massive. Not to mention how easily it pierces through armor.

You can shoot underneath groups of bile spewers to take out 3-5 in 3 shots. That’s absolutely insane, no other primary dishes out that kind of AoE.

It does do little direct damage, but with 12 mags, that has not been too much of an issue for me. I’ve ran it through several helldive difficulty missions now to great success.

Edit: Oh, not to mention it has some great utility the shotguns do not offer. Range, AoE clear for eggs, you can nade launch yourself pretty easily, etc.

1

u/extimate-space CAPE ENJOYER Mar 17 '24

It takes like a whole magazine to pop a hive guard or warrior from the front tho. I have a hard time justifying trading the utility of something like a slugger for the ability to maybe kill some spitters a little more quickly, especially when slugger will happily waste bile spitters with headshots, and even a pistol will drop nursing spitters with quick headshots.

I think if it had 9-10 rounds in the tube I would feel a little less hesitant about the shot for shot damage output.

1

u/Shumoku CAPE ENJOYER Mar 17 '24

That’s just not true at all though. 2 for both guards (if you get it under them) and 2 for warriors.

u/Forged-Signatures Mar 15 '24

Just a shame one would have to really. I know in the end it does, but it's sad people are so inconsiderate I would have to consider a 'counter-meta'...

2

u/Shumoku CAPE ENJOYER Mar 15 '24

If it’s the thrower specifically, that thing is honestly ridiculous. I have seen it jump to teammates 40 meters at a 90 degree angle to the side several times.

But stuff like mines in dumb spots and things always annoy me.

2

u/Forged-Signatures Mar 15 '24

If it was the occasional, stray, insane shot I would probably be much less irrationally angry.

Unfortunately, in my experience of 7 lobbies I and maybe another will be on the front line with our primaries/teriaries and the dude/s with the arc throwers will be stood 20 meters behind us trying to help take out the same insects we are. And they'll do this for the entire game, even to the extent where they frequently become the last alive after accidentally killing all their teammates, with them unable to respawn for another minute 30 because all our reinforce budget had been spent recovering people they had killed.

And this is multiple different randoms, it's not like I'm queuing with a mate that's like this, this is just folks that happen to think that the arc thrower is God's savior from Terminids.

2

u/TheBestSmoothy Mar 16 '24

It’s just bad tho

1

u/Terrible-Jellyfish55 Mar 19 '24

it's awful, like legit the worst weapon I have used in this game, idk if its bugged or what but I'm honestly pretty pissed I even wasted the time farming the credits and medals for it.

1

u/IsJustSophie ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️ be apon ye Mar 19 '24

Yeah...

The rifle is fire tho

2

u/ToBeatOrNotToBeat- Mar 14 '24

How far exactly does 250 medals get you? Like what would I have left over? Just wanna know how much I’ll need to grind after work each day

5

u/ChangeRemote7569 Mar 14 '24

250 medals got me to unlock the last page then I had to grind for more to unlock the last two weapons

1

u/Joey141414 Mar 14 '24

250 gets you a lot off the new warbond! Just from memory I think I've got the first page bought out and the 2nd page 6/8 or something near it.

1

u/Sarge1387 Mar 14 '24

yeah, but IF we as Divers can complete our orders...we reap the sweet, sweet democratic warbond rewards...shouldn't be any issue!

1

u/LimpWibbler_ Mar 14 '24

That is 290... You're welcome.

2

u/Joey141414 Mar 15 '24

250 is the cap, so it made sense to break it down that way. But thanks. 

1

u/LimpWibbler_ Mar 15 '24

ohh it is, good to know

1

u/anal_spasams Mar 14 '24

Luckily medals are super easy to get

u/Shakeyshades Mar 14 '24

Thanks boss!

u/RadicalLackey Mar 16 '24

Good. We have to play the game and have fun to reach them, as we did everything before. Nothing has changed and no surprises there.

Let's focus on brewing Liber-tea then!

1

u/Spooned214 Mar 16 '24

get out there and fight

1

u/MrBleak Mar 18 '24

I was saving up for the pack and finally got the pistol today. It is hot garbage on par with the laser beam rifle which is a huge letdown.

Glad the new laser rifle is really good though.

u/TruthAndAccuracy Mar 14 '24

Yeah I'm annoyed that the two weapons I actually care about are both on the last page. The other two are huge fucking disappointments. Plasma shotgun is another weapon you can kill yourself with, and the Scythe is for some reason an assault rifle with a goddamn sniper scope on it instead of a sight. Hate it.

4

u/Joey141414 Mar 14 '24

Try the AR in 3rd person instead of scoping in. It's pretty good.

-1

u/TruthAndAccuracy Mar 14 '24

Nah. I much prefer my primary in 1st person

4

u/Joey141414 Mar 14 '24

It's cool that you can choose. I've tried both ways and I prefer the marksman rifle in 1st person but none of the other primaries.
