why the ♥♥♥♥ does rogue suck so bad?

[76561198286801699]

Not only does she get less radiation, but she has this stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ blast armor which destroys your cover whenever she's hit and her active ability is not only stupidly hard to control but it can also KILL you. It is easier to play as melting than it is to play Rogue! Why does she suck so much ♥♥♥♥♥?

I think she's more of a challenge than a good mutant

literally everything in this game is supposed to have good stuff and then drawbacks
there is nothing redeeming about rogue
if she was to be a challenge character she should probably be a secret character like the other secret characters

Blast armor actually isn't that bad, it can really save you from a whole heap of bullets that would of otherwise killed you since it deletes enemy projectiles
Her ability is pretty lacking but idk it can be ok
less rads really doesn't matter very much like at all, been a little bit but pretty sure she gets ultra about the same time as the other mutants

Her active can be really good when utilized well. Cops are extra enemies to pew pew at. Blast armor has its ups and downs. She's far from an amazing character but people tend to exaggerate how bad she really is. Also rogue rifle is one of the best early game bullet weapon.

I'd rather have a revolver tbh

Edit: This made me want to do revolver-only runs. That was kinda fun until E-spectors showed up xD

It will always be a matter of taste! haha
Yea elites are a bit tanky, revolvers will struggle with that.

In terms of late-game meta Rogue is actually considered high mid-tier. She definitely has one of the most bumpy starts in the game, but I bring this up because she levels out pretty steadily at ultra. You definitely have to get accustomed to her different playstyle, however her arsenal really stacks up in loop when she can negate multiple hits at a time if she gets hit, and also literally call in airstrikes on entire hordes of enemies.
(If you're worried about cover, you can also use portal strikes in walls, though make sure the strike starts from outside of the wall. Can get tons of cover that way.)

btw you miss out on 25 rads per level. It definitely helps out but she hits ultra pretty much around the same time as other characters due to Throne I & II give a good amount of rads and all characters will hit ultra in desert 1-1 L1.
