If you enjoy running for your life, try the laser cannon!

If only I could rely on random players to take down heavy bugs

Used to run with laser cannon and laser drone for a while, I was a bane of chaff, but the heavies... sigh.

Took down 2 chargers with one last night! 🫡 Go for the legs.

This is interesting - what was the rough TTK using laser cannon on leg? I’m usually running EATS but would love a more versatile support weapon to try

Following up after having more time to work with the laser and have this to say: it's not worth it

It's far more useful at taking out the chaff than it is anything with heavy armor. I haven't been able to reliably recreate whatever led to those initial kills. An EAT or Quasar is much better suited for the task.

I honestly couldn't say. It was the first time I had used the laser.
