Is there no downside to the tank treads?

Seems like you are self-nerfing if you aren't using them.

[Pizzaman]

They didn’t click with me.

They’re tanky alright, but I prefer having more mobility.

[Anterk]

It's a question of literal tank build or something lighter, not really self-nerf.

Well if you need to actually avoid anything, you know the kind of stuff that will do massive damage no matter what AC you are using, tank treads are the least effective way to do so.

They're also the only leg type that isn't omni-directional from what I can tell. You must steer and turn to go in a different direction while ground-boosting, unlike every other leg type which can switch direction on demand.

You can do quick direction changes with a quick burst and drift.

Quad legs are much, much better than tank threads.
Reverse joint legs are also great, but more situational than quads. ^^''

Don't need huge HP pool when you can jump/hover over your problems. ♥

Good stats sure, but that doesn't help much if you move like a rock in molasses. Especially against quicker enemies that have explosives, and a kick. Who don't WE get a kick?

I guess tanks are more kind to the wallet too since they’re preinstalled with boosters (or do the prices take that into account?)

The first tank treads have good load capacity, defense, and ground movement. They have poor vertical and aerial movement though, and the built-in thrusters have a terrible quick boost. That makes them very vulerable to explosive weapon fired from above, and attacks with big hitboxes in general.

Quad Legs have a decent load capacity and the ability to hover, which makes them amazing to rain death from above with rocket and grenade launchers.

Reverse joint legs can jump very quickly up and to the sides, which makes dodging attacks pretty easy, but they have a limited carry weight.

Normal legs are.... normal.

Also, you can kick too, as soon as you unlock OS Tuning (After the mission Wall Climber I believe).

I nerfed myself twice this morning. Nerfed myself real good.

We do have a kick...
OS upgrade assault boost and tap it again when at an enemy.

Alright I no longer think tank treads are all that... this guy had some really good early game builds

Using them in multiplayer proves the user was castrated.

For real. The light tank treads are fast and nimble and with a good generator can fly for quite some time.
