Worst weapon?

[1337Dude]

Which weapon sucks and is pointless, even after being UPPED?

[Tech]

Speed star.

[Zeddy]

Beam has the only right answer this thread will get as far as I'm concerned. Maybe Assault Beetle, but I think I just haven't figured out its niche yet.

Sometimes certain weapons in a line will be worse than others. The first vertical spread plasmafall spreads too much with too little blast radius to be useful except when flying, but it's also too hungry to fly with. Second plasmafall packs enough punch for each shot that it's useful for carpet bombing from the ground, for instance.

Speed Star can be used to illuminate dark tunnels, so it's not completely useless, although I wouldn't ever take it in a serious game.

All level of firecracker.

Mag blaster

Force blade all var

Spine driver

Leviathan and haythal missile.

Tortoise all var.

I found Firecrackers in 4.1 to be fun to use, but I find it not very useful in 5.

Mortars might be one of those things I never use because it's quite inaccurate, very situational and slow. Not good enough for self defense nor offense.

At least on Hard Mag Blasters are perfict weapons against normal Cosmonauts.

Spine driver

Oh HELL no. Spine driver is an instantaneous, one click deletion tool. No windup, doesn't slow you down, good range and high damage. That's my main weapon for fencer on anything from easy to inferno.

[Ћ Abomination Jones]

Pretty much all the Bound Guns.

[Honorable_D]

Both Spine Driver and Leviathans have their uses. Dual Leviathans make mince meat out of the giant godzilla and final boss fights—have the Air Raider bring his best laser kit that shortens lock-on time.

Opinions on AR suppress guns? I haven't gotten later ones but they seem to be hot garbage.

Edit: I know it's for getting out of ant mouths, but limpet sniper seems straight-up better for that.

While it doesn't probably rate Useless. The "Anti air" type landmines always felt kinda lackluster.

As much due to Murphy's law personal experience making it feel like you are more likely to kill drones and hornets with C20 bombs on the pavement, than for drones/bees to both trigger and die to AA landmines.

(Flying Frogs come in for a hot landing often enough that maybe I should give em a try there, though at that point REGULAR landmines would probably be better)

Not if you want to escape without chunking half your life off from self damage it isn't.

You're probably making the classic mistake of using them outside against aerial enemies.

Try to bring them underground! They bounce and pierce and will clear the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ radar for you.

Man, I totally forgot landmine ball bearings had bounce physics.

Though I have put the (Ranger, EDF 5 version) normal/wide style landmines to good used underground, like that surrounded on all sides underground ambush mission. And used landmines in EDF 5 way more than I ever did in 4.1 (Pillbugs roll by too fast for them to worm on them most of the time aaaarg)

Speaking of. Iron Rain's landmines even though they are a finite consumable are HOLY **** tier. So no matter what EDF, even a spin off, I guess it really does pay to dust off all your options from time to time.
