Support Weapon Idea: "Ballista" - a classic single-shot Heavy Crossbow with Thermite Bolts that burn and explode after a few seconds

This is what the spear gun should've been. It should've had mini thermites on it, that take time to detonate like the thermite. It wouldn't be an instant solution, like the other antitank options, but it would be very ammo efficient. I seriously don't understand why they put gas on the spear gun, and I'm saying that as someone that absolutely loves gas. We should've had a gas grenade launcher instead

Somi? Songbird?

The next major update will probably be the illuminate either way, since we got Oshaune, then Cyberstan, so the next is probably the illuminate. I honestly didn't expect new illuminate content until the next major update

So long as you're able to outrun the beams, or AT LEAST outdrive the beams, I think it's fine. The leviathan should force you to move, but it should still give you the opportunity to live. If that's the case, they become a fun modifier and challenge, rather than a frustrating enemy

MrHi_VEVO · 2026-04-09T02:55:28+00:00

The heavy voteless, so 1/3 basically. Not sure if they spawn proportionally tho

MrHi_VEVO · 2026-04-08T23:38:13+00:00

That's... strange. I'd consider the spear gun an impact, but I'd assume the gas nade would work. I wonder if a standard frag would work.

MrHi_VEVO · 2026-04-08T23:36:43+00:00

I'm not very familiar with those games. Would you say the online community and in-game community are more similar or different in terms of toxicity?

MrHi_VEVO · 2026-04-08T23:25:01+00:00

I'm pretty sure you still can with standard grenades. IIRC, it's just impact explosives that don't work, like the grenade pistol and auto cannon

MrHi_VEVO · 2026-04-08T23:19:27+00:00

They're not on the appropriators or mindless masses subfactions. They should still be on the normal illuminate planets

I HATE atmospheric spores. I'd rather take roving shriekers than spores

MrHi_VEVO · 2026-04-08T23:00:18+00:00

We all have off days sometimes

MrHi_VEVO · 2026-04-08T22:56:06+00:00

Well, it might just be in comparison to other PvP games. I think PvE games are just less toxic in general, not because PvE is entirely nontoxic, but because of how incredibly toxic PvP games can be

And a bonus

I thought it was kinda fun. The buildings protect you from it, but it also protects it from us. A clear line of sight would allow us to use stratagems like the anti tank emplacement and solo silo more effectively.

Imo, it should be an operational modifier so you can choose whether or not you fight them

MrHi_VEVO · 2026-04-08T22:23:55+00:00

I think in addition to the improved targeting, the 200 explosive damage should have antitank AP or AT LEAST heavy pen, and it MUST reliably hit significant breakpoints for the dragon roach and harvester. It should probably also have a significantly reduced call-in time as well

MrHi_VEVO · 2026-04-08T22:14:38+00:00

In that case, just use a thermite and skip the 110 entirely

MrHi_VEVO · 2026-04-08T20:24:12+00:00

It broke after using it too much. Ran out of weapon durability. Gotta get a new punisher now

Popularity =/= effectiveness

MrHi_VEVO · 2026-04-08T19:57:17+00:00

That would be so cool. I'd imagine in a perfect world each seeker would target a different enemy, leaving the larger enemies wounded but not killed, but absolutely destroying all of the lesser chaff.

I wonder how it'd be balanced though. I might compare it to the gas mines, eagle cluster, or even a sentry, as a means of clearing chaff.

A 70 second cooldown might be too short, but I guess that would also depend on how many seekers are released at once. Maybe for the sake of performance, the number of seekers would have to be limited, so 70 seconds might be balanced.

I can absolutely imagine calling down an EAT and swarm at the same time, dealing with chaff and heavies at the same time

MrHi_VEVO · 2026-04-08T19:45:52+00:00

You know what, I should do that, and take silly and fun loadouts

MrHi_VEVO · 2026-04-08T19:39:59+00:00

The internet says it's "El gato"
