      Well, it's the most basic gun. I think it could stay "bad" when they have a better version to unlock. But the armor penetrating liberator should have an automatic fire mode and higher rate of fire and damage. Nobody uses this gun.

    The biggest problem with the Sickle with fighting Terminids is that it takes about a second between holding down the trigger and actually firing, which can be difficult when youre getting swarmed in higher difficulties and need to let off shots in an instant.

      It takes an adjustment to playstyle. I've been using the Scythe even though it's pretty bad, and you have to keep distance. Given, on difficulty 7+ it's hard to not get overrun, but that's how you gotta play with the laser weapons. They're meant for mid-range add-clear.

    Each Sickle heat sink can fire 100 rounds of continuous fire before overheating. Each round does 55 damage, and it can fire 12.5 rounds a second, for a grand total of 687.5 damage per second, which is frankly very high and makes the Sickle better than the Liberator in basically every regard. With 6 heat sinks, this gun has a _minimum_ total damage of 33000 without getting a resupply, and that's assuming you overheat every heat sink with continuous fire and never wait for it to cool down naturally, and if you do it at least _sometimes_ that total damage number just keeps going up and up, making it one of the most ammo efficient weapons in the game. In terms of best primary weapon, this is easily top 4 next to the Breaker, Slugger, and Scorcher.

    • @squeezyjibbs6643
      @squeezyjibbs6643 3 місяці тому +6

    • @SuperCatacata
      @SuperCatacata 3 місяці тому +3

      Why would you ever switch off the arc thrower for the Blitzer though?
      They both arc to the same amount of enemies. But the Arc Thrower does much more damage per shot, especially to medium and heavy armor targets. All you need to do is melee the bug in your face to create space or dive backwards while charging to hit anything close. Arc thrower can also shoot about twice as fast.
      Would much rather bring a primary weapon that complements the arc thrower's lack of range or inability to stun devastators like the slugger.

      @drag0nmancer 3 місяці тому +3

      not from my experience. it does do damage to chargers but it is not that good. you really need a rover or something to clear chaff so you can have a clear lane of fire. it usually takes 3-4 to pop a spewer (regardless of where you hit them, you actually need to hit them 4 times in the head, 3 times (sometimes 2 if you got splash damage from another hit that already damaged them) in order to kill them. but the stronger versions of the spewer (the green ones) needed nearly a whole magazine to pop no matter where you hit them. the gun just does so little damage. you are better off taking a dominator or scorcher especially with how short range it has you are within spitting range of a group of them. and with hunters/warriors/brood commanders rushing you, the plasma punisher will punish you for using it.

      It does negative damage to bots. And requires you to be dangerously close to be of any use which is a great way to die to rockets. Hard to find a worse primary for going against the bots IMO.
      It also from my experience doesn't go thru the shields. Unlike the arc thrower which can.

And no, the sickle shouldn’t be nerfed, other guns need buffs because the “balance” in this game is abysmal.

    I was really looking forward to the plasma punisher and I am unequivocally pissed how fucking horrible the gun performs. you can throw grenades further than it can shoot. its barely has any damage and struggles to kill even scavengers and is even worse against the automatons. it cant blow up bug holes or factories, and you are more likely to kill yourself and your allies faster than the enemy can. the liberator concussive is actually superior to this shotgun and thats how bad it is.

    I absolutely love the Sickle but I think people are overstating its strength. It's fun, feels great to use and it has pretty solid DPS but it's not the single strongest gun in the game like I keep seeing people make out. It's just in a great spot.
    I worry that they're gonna see all these youtubers hyping it up plus the high usage rate being that it's a new gun that's very early to unlock and feels good and be like "this is overperforming it needs to be nerfed into the dirt"

    • @sultryjmac

      It is amazing. It absolute hits weak spots and all medium to lower enemies get bodied by it. Rapid firing, clear scope, no ammo concerns, good damage, light armor penetrating which is most of the enemies in the game. It's amazing. Anything heavier and you should be using a strat. The plasma shotgun is pure hot garbage. I does nothing that other weapons can't do much better. If you're killing a charger in 5 shots, someone on your team could be doing it in 1. And if you get swarmed, you better have a good secondary because it will destroy you. The sickle absolutely shreds the bots. SHREDS.

    • @SuperCatacata

      Because that's what primary weapons are mostly for?
      I get that the plasma gun can kill chargers, but so can most support weapons(Much faster). And impact nades kill them with 2 to the face.
      Only time I would run the plasma shotgun was if I was running the stalwart tbh. Even then I'd also probably be running the EAT which oneshots chargers.

    @4:18 I'm just gonna go ahead and say it, don't care if its a hot take or not. The Bot rockets should only one shot you if you're in light armor. There's literally no reason why they should have aim bot and a volley of rockets that will one shot you. If you're in medium armor it should knock you like it currently does but only do 50% HP at most. If you're in medium armor you should only lose at most 20-25% HP but not get knocked down. As I said I don't care if its a hot take or not. This isn't some skill issue bullshit. There's nothing more frustrating than one shot mechanics from distance that have little to no tell and are constantly being hidden through weather effects, smoke and etc. If the we can't see the bots they shouldn't be able to see us. If smoke grenades/orbital block their line of site so should the other smoke/fog effects. Its stupid. Its legitimately one of 2 issues I know of about the bots(the patrol appearing around you is a bug, not a balance issue.). They are balanced pretty well but this shit needs tuning.

      That's what I'm saying too. Laser weapons should be high burst DPS with a fairly-rapid heat up, but can swap heat sinks to extend its sustained DPS when the situation dictates it. Having 6 sinks completely nullifies that dynamic, and just makes it a better ballistic rifle in that regard. With 3 sinks, you suddenly become much more conscient of your heat, but still have enough sinks to make it through an intense fight before you need to scrounge for ammo.

      That's a good thing. The dev has stated that your stratagems and support weapons should be dealing with the heavy armor things. In that ideology, the Stalwart and Machine gun should be primaries. With the dev's intention, if you take a support weapon that does not deal with heavy armor, you're hamstringing yourself. Having something with the Stalwart's fun factor in the primary slot is exactly what needed to happen to give you your tools back.

      The damage is good, the gun actually has pretty decent dps. But 2 more important reasons why it's not ideal against bugs are it has a delay before shooting so bugs have more time closing up on you and the weapon doesn't stagger enemies, so many dangerous bugs will have a chance to hit you.
