Can every faction get a lasher?

[Mallenator]

It is truly amazing how 3 men can hold back a whole platoon with permanent splashdamage from lashers. Can every faction get one please? This would be a great asset to NC and TR to be able to just spam splashdamage like the VS can.

I just bought a lasher two days ago. Its harder to use than i thought. But i guess like you said its stronger with an outfit of lashers, as with anything in the game. Really should be called splasher.

With NC just get a MAX or two with its shield, put shield up, march up, drop shield, drop lasher users. All the people hiding behind the MAXs take the point the lasher users were holding.

And if the lasher users switch to rockets, then their not holding anyone back anymore.

In 7 years and more that 7000 hours playing this game, I managed to use the lasher THAT effectively a number of times I can count on my fingers, without even using all of them. It's an extremely situational weapon that requires the right situation, huge coordination, huge sacrifice in terms of loadout efficiency AND a bunch of dumb enemies that just won't push.

Lasher strenght is just psycological. If you just rush a Lasher user, he dead. Next time don't stand outside the door. Rush in and kill them. If you can't, means they are overpopping in which case, every weapon would do the job at keeping you at the door.

Lasher is really not that great I'd much rather have the Orion over the lasher anyday especially on my TR.

You could use the Thumper, not really the same but if you were a few spamming a door I dont think a lot of people would want to enter there either.

Lasher deals a lot more psychological damage though, all those bright and loud bullets.

THe lasher is a niche weapon.

there is a grenade gun for heavy's (wish it was for engineers)
Honestly the lasher and the grenade launcher both kind suck unless you got people hard lock on a base and ARE in a position to rain round after round on them.

So if it is not such a good weapon and hard to use etc. why not give it to other factions as well then? That is all I am saying.

Can I have a Striker if you get the Lasher?

All factions have their no so good (most of the time) hard to use highly specialised weapons.

Most of the people here saying it's not very good mean it in the way that it's not very good at killing things.
As you yourself point out, there's more than enough time to think "I can't see anything" even while being shot at.

But the striker is a good weapon. The lasher isn't according to the comments here.

I played the lasher today. It borderline sucks. Its only usueable in like a bio lab. and even then its hard to use without killing friendlies. i nearly locked my weapon.

90% of the time the defualt will be better. I keep getting easily killed with the lasher.

Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. That's why people should play all the factions to see for themselves that when they scream "maaaan this ♥♥♥♥ is overpowered nerf it" it's mostly them being utterly uninformed.

I play all the factions regularly and the only faction-specific thing I think is OP af is the Banshee.
