Is the popcorn Bazooka still REALLY bad?

[Astrostars2025]

It's been a while since I played. I know it got nerfed a while ago, but is it still really bad after (from what I heard) getting nerfed into the ground?

yes. if you like shooting humans like 6 times and then them healing and you gotta shoot them another 6 times the popcorn gun if for you. (Its horrible dont use it lol)

Thanks! Best to avoid it then.

the only gimmick of it was that it was the only fully ranged weapon u could have in ur melee slot, but since the damage is so bad now, youre better off using the gobstopper flail, if you can track and chase down the humans efficiently then it should work, you do have enough reload time to cancel their heals but i still really wouldnt recommend it its not even good in 1v1s taking on multiple people is another game entirely. with the melee range of humans getting nerfed in the last update, lots of people are just using the mace and swinging it while sprinting backwards and theres literally nothing humans can do about it unless if they have an airhorn or something they can use as a ranged weapon, if they have a gun at that point, the popcorn launcher wont do jack for you so you might aswell just use whatevers brokenly OP at the moment lol

It's awful. Especially for the achievement related to a popcorn kill. I think I used the mace (i think that's the name of it) to get that.

[Astrostars2025]

I really wished it would be buffed to the point where it is viable, but still mostly useful for tracking as it's main purpose.

[Astrostars2025]

Anyone think the popcorn gun will ever get a buff to where it's able to hold its own in a fight against 1/2 people but not be ridiculously over powered and still be a tracking tool? I would doubt it at this point...

[Astrostars2025]

Seems there is literally no use for this piece of trash lol

[Pat]

There isnt. Its fun to use imo but it horrible

What about farming XP? I know it's ♥♥♥♥ at first glance and an obvious detriment to the team, however getting 25 xp for each hit might stack fast if trying to level up, and with all the hits you'll be doing... besides taking hits as a detriment to your team.

[Pat]

It does stack yes and when its 2x xp weekend you can get alot of xp but to be honest your better of just cooconing humans 25 is barely anything. 100 hits is only 2.5k which is nothing. Its overall just bad xd

Does anyone know if Klown strength from each class differently affects the popcorn gun's damage?
