There was a small bit of time where you could hold and release the trigger to detonate the airburst, but I think that was some sort of bug and we got a patch that night. Most people just use it like a normal rocket though instead of the massive cluster that it is. Closed many bug holes with a single shot

This has been my regular loadout on helldive difficulty against the bugs. While my teammates out there securing one objective, i go off to the other side of the map and try to clear everything. Although i switch out the secondary with the redeemer or the grenade pistol, depending which planet i’m on. If it has alot of spewers, the grenade pistol comes in handy.

Plasma punisher or purifier is a better primary for using airburst imo. It gives you a strong stagger, with better range and control over enemies, and can be used to follow up on an airbust shot to fully clear a patrol. Also if you bring this load out without grenade pistol you'll need factory and bug hole stratagems

You also have to remember the lack of ammo the reload time and again the possibility of killing yourself. Its the weapon ever.

Quasar is useless on higher level of difficulty because of longer recharge time. When it's 2-4 dropships at once you can take down only one of them, but we were able to take two of four. Expandble Anti-Tank is better in that case.

@UnknownSquid 2 ай бұрын

Far far from useless, but better suited against bugs than bots. It needing to wind up the shot has always meant it made you vulnerable for a dangerous amount of time, and if you get hit just as it fires you lose the whole shot. Against bugs who don't shoot back, this isn't a problem. And since bugs are constantly chasing you, it makes stopping to reload or staying near your EAT pod long enough difficult and dangerous. So having an AT weapon that reloads whilst you run and fire your primary, has incredible value. Against bots I would recommend the Recoiless or EATs instead. Which I think is great, that all three weapons are viable again, just in their own areas, without the Quasar overshadowing them like it was at release.
