What’s funny is the Las Guard Dog “Rover” is actually a beast at clearing little bugs, and it’s the SAME GUN as the Scythe.. why can’t the scythe itself be as good or better?

Personally, think it would be cool if the Scythe's beam mode ignited if held on an enemy for some time. Like, idk, 2 seconds? And for it have an alternate fire similar to the plasma cutter from Dead Space, something that would actually make it make sense to be called a Scythe!

Developers need to stop developing weapons and start developing ammo instead. Armor and damage setup would be more sane and be more consistent across weapons, since any tweaks would happen across the board for that type. As it is now they just play wack a mole with the nerf hammer.

they...just buffed the dominator 2 hours ago it still doesn't do AoE damage but now the damage is at least a lot better, took it on difficulty 7 in the current op and it feels a lot better now as for scorcher, while I agree that 5 more rounds would greatly help, it's my go to weapon and that of a lot of people that play vs bots due to the AoE meaning that it can take care of walkers. it's also no slouch (though harder to use not killing yourself) vs bugs due to explosion having bonus damage on weak points. also it destroys easily clusters of eggs

@alexanderfurrows79462 ай бұрын
The Scythe is often shat on, and while I wouldn’t claim it to be good, it is much better than people generally claim it to be. I can consistently exit bug suicide missions using the scythe as my main weapon and have 400+ kills and few deaths. While I can’t rake in the same killcount against bots, I don’t feel underpowered when I bring it. The Scythe is a high damage weapon, the 300 dps isn’t lying. It’s true issue is that it has 0 stagger, meaning that enemies will overrun you if you overuse it. When combining the scythe with an ems mortar or teammates proving stagger on enemy hordes, the Scythe while cut through enemy hordes like a scythe through wheat. High dps, no recoil, perfect accuracy and heat packs mean that when engaging at mid range with fire discipline, you will tear light enemies apart and weaken medium enemies while your squad mates with different load outs shred the heavy and mediums without fear of light hordes swarming them.
@josephburchanowski46362 ай бұрын
300 dps is nearly equivalent to the dps of the Liberator concussive which is a low dps weapon. Meanwhile the sickle is over 650 dps. However the scythe does pop heads pretty quickly if the beam is well aimed; however if the enemy is a jumping hunter and you end up spreading your damage across multiple body parts or missing, the weapon can feel quite bad. It is mostly a matter of aiming. Two reasons the guard dog rover feels so good is that it has good aiming, and will continue firing as you are running away from an enemy allowing you to keep distance. Against bots, it can be really good at popping their heads as well or blowing up jetpacks. Suffers massively against berserkers (chainsaw guys). The weapon likely needs a buff even though it isn't as bad as some make it seem.
@alexanderfurrows79462 ай бұрын
@@josephburchanowski4636 I agree with you here, with the exception of jumping hunters - I find the scythe to be the best way to kill jumping enemies as while it’s harder to aim for the heads, it tears off limbs in the air really easily from what I find. You are especially correct about the Bezerkers - the scythe is completely countered by them and simply is unable to do the damage to kill then or even easily take off their limbs. Personally I believe the scythe should get a damage buff to 400 dps, a bonus to tearing off limbs, armour stripping (weakening the armour of where it hits) or increasing the damage the longer it fires. Any of these buffs could put what I think is a generally C+ to B- tier weapon (personally an A+) into a solid A tier weapon.
@josephburchanowski46362 ай бұрын
@@alexanderfurrows7946 Just tried out the weapon again, and frankly it felt much better against bots than bugs. If there is a limb damage stat, it certainly needs it upped; as it felt nearly useless once you get a few brood commanders and hive guards. Against bots, its only saving grace is how weak their heads are and blowing up jetpacks. I know there is a stat for damage against durable enemy parts; but I don't know if that applies to limbs of common enemies and what not. Now I could just be crazy, but it feels like it preforms worse than the las cannon against shriekers; which for an rifle against a light enemy, is pretty bad. I won't be surprised if we see another +50% damage weapon buff (which is pretty crazy of a percentage change when you think of it; but it happened to the flamethrower and the dominator).
