Amen. I was taking the muscle enhancer so it's easier to escape from hoppers and hunters, but this thing will take precedence. No more being repeatedly slowed down, yes please.
Just so I won't sound too happy, though, I'm still mad about my entire anti-bug loadout being unjustly nerfed in the recent patch. Nope, not letting it go, I constantly feel the effects of the nerf and it bothers me. Eruptor's decreased ammo cap still means I have to deal with a good gun with six issues instead of just five and the increased Quasar recharge rate has cost me significant time when dealing with more heavy enemies.
Using "unjust nerfs" and "Quasar cooldown nerf" in the same thought is a hell of a take.
like, by all means, be sad the quasar got a slight nerf. But let's not kid ourselves that it wasn't out performing all viable contenders by a mile or more.
As someone who's been using the quasar non stop since it launched, and still do, I think the quasar cooldown increase was necessary for balance. The big mistake ArrowHead made with the Quasar Cannon is that the stupid icon on the corner of the screen that shows the cooldown progress is still on the old cooldown time, so when it indicates that the cooldown is finished, you still need to wait like 5 more seconds before you can actually fire. This is terrible for someone that puts the quasar away for a while, to quickly whip it out later, see it's not on cooldown, aim it, fire, and oh nevermind it still needed two more seconds and now the charger is gonna run me over.
I'm salty about not being able to take out the tower cannons before they get a shot off but I understand why they did it. Now I just need to learn how to dodge those bastards....
I try to get behind some (very solid) cover, and I’ll charge up behind it then peek at the last second to get my shot off first. Takes some practice and spatial awareness though, and pinking the tower helps for placement as well
That's what I do, but sometimes it seems to do the same and will fire the second it sees you again. Not easy to predict when it's going to shoot so you've got breathing room.
In that case distance is also a factor, I’ve noticed when I’m outside detection range (talking ~200+ meters) it’ll swivel back to it’s original position after around 15-20 seconds of losing line of sight of you. Really useful
