Crspr flamethrower needs a giga buff

[HellzBlazez]

Not only is it an awkward weapon to use, it's damage output is absolutely terrible lol. I've been trying to make it work but it still deals less dmg than weapons with 10 less levels.

Couldn't agree more. I don't think I've ever had it come anything other than last place when it comes to my total damage.

It's garbage to play with. The "beams" rotate so slowly it's frustrating to "aim" them aka circle around horde of bugs, elite or the dreadnought at exactly correct speed to keep one of the flames on them.. and the range is horrible.
There's pretty much only one OC that makes it actually kill stuff and that's the sticky fuel(?) that makes the burning ground. That + goop sprayer making double DoT area is deals okay'ish damage.

I still think Driller is very oxymoron class to play with because it mines faster but the weapons have so short range & rotate around you that you can't really mine yourself into a wall and shoot out like other classes... that aren't based on mining.

Frankly I think the flamer should aim at closest (or farthest considering the inherent beam piercing) enemy and just do that...

CRSPR needs to be more like the minigun. Not a huge fan of weapons that pinwheel around the player.

but then again, havent played driller in earnest too much yet, I just use the driller to mass farm special minerals so I can level up perks.

Even fully upgraded and with the puddle-OC, it still sucks. Kinda odd since poogun is amazing.

It needs to spin either faster or slower.

It seems to be the PERFECT speed to make it the MOST difficult to use.

I like it though, going to keep trying to make it work.

Its boring to use. Make direction or wave upgrade. Trying ti kill 1 small bug is annoying. Change it.

[Krom]

Its one of the worst weapons in the game, thats for sure. Grenades feel pretty bad too.

You leave my favorite weapon alone! The flamethrower is great.

One of the worst weapon right now, I had a run where it was lvl 18 and still got outdamaged by a lvl 8 fire grenade, and it wasn't even close ! At least a 6 million damage difference.

Fire nade damage is bugged, it is showing the wrong numbers.

It was fun when I had 6 beams through one random legendary bonus and the overclock that gives +3. But that was on Hazard 2, any later and I can't progress far enough with it because it's so gimped.

IMO it either needs to start with more beams or the beams need to be wider.

The acid sprayer good because it it level acids pools meaning it has crazy coverage and the acid debuff.

I just played driller for the first time and I was about to make a post about how weak this thing is. Weak weapons are... fine as long as they do something interesting, but not as the starting weapon. It means slower levels due to low kill count which compounds into fewer upgrades, until eventual death. Driller is so bad.

Driller is not bad, the flamethrower is a very underpowered weapon.

Right, I forgot that it's not his starter, but when you play him the first time it will always be one of his weapons.
