the blaze javelin sucks

[red13seto]

just wasted a fair amount of nanites to upgrade it

Tried everything, still a pimped up scatterblaster is the best imho.

the range on it though... have to be really close for it to be effective.

I think the blaze javelin is awesome. It's essentially the sniper rifle for your multitool. Huge distance of operation, higher per shot damage, but like a sniper rifle, has a slow repeat rate. It could have been more useful, but sentinels generally are so myopic, almost every weapon has a range greater than the zone of awareness of a sentinel.

If you notice, the damage or accuracy of most weapons drops off quite a bit with range, unlike the blaze javelin. But sentinel behavior was never kept in balance with those weapons over many years of updates to the game, making other (newer) weapons generally more useful.

True, but the speed and forgiving aiming skills makes up for it.

It's a shame how bad boltcaster or w/e its called is fully modded. It's so bad i should just forget what it's called!

Are you sure about that? Watch this comparison I've just made:

Boltcaster has very high Damage Per Second and it's also good at high distances.

I do like the scatter blaster and pulse spitter when I feel like mixing things up...
But with the AoE from the Neutron Canon, I can just shoot the ground at my feet and kill nearby enemies... no need to aim at all XD
It's especially effective against the swarms of horrors... just shoot the ground where they spawn and they die before they crawl out of the ground...
With supercharged upgrades it charges and cools down as fast as I pull the trigger...

yeah, I killed over 12 thousand(!!!) biological horrors by attacking the spawning spot in Liquidators expedition(earned me over 300 thousand nanites for my main save, 25 nanites per horror), and there was no need for super wasteful and dangerous greades or geological cannon. Neutron cannon is OP, but since this is a singleplayer game I hope they don't fix it. But they do need to buff Blaze Javelin. It's just terrible even with included stun.

Yeah, It was a very profitable expo eh...
I got about 475k nanites myself... I killed a few less horrors than you, but made up the difference with sentinel kills.

Yeah, I also hope the Blaze Javelin gets a buff rather than nerfing other weapons...

Neutron Cannon best weap no cap

ironically, the Blaze Javelin used to be a lot stronger.
