380mm barrage thoughts

[tatatoot]

just curious what you guys think about ppl using this

I like to bring it bc it's fun to use and occasionally does something insane but some people get upset about me using it haha

Pretty much overkill outside of huge bases, need to be basically in the base to throw it in a good spot.

Outside of that use, radius is too big and hit too inconsistent, basically is a tool for teamkilling

No different to Cluster Bomb really. In the hands of the irresponsible bound to take 2 helldivers with it.

The problem with this weapon is that it targets you and teammates and rarely attacks bugs and bots. It says something cute in the description denoting that it will kill you on purpose. "Communicate with your team" which is code for, prioritizes you and your teammates if you are close. I never use this weapon because I don't use weapons designed by the Devs to kill players because haha.

I think this game doesn't need a PVP mode, because that strat IS the PVP mode.

^ and then it's heavily rng depended.

If you're gonna do it, do it in a big base where your team is not in.

It's become my opinion that if your not using armor with increased throw distance and warning people well before you throw it down, it's better to have an empty slot than bring the 380. It's just too good at killing players and too poor at getting things done, even without doubled scatter modifier making it truly unusable. 380 proves there is such a thing as too big an AoE.

Edit: Post buff for smaller radius and a lot more shots, it's significantly less bad.

Play Russian roulette with it.

[Silikone]

I think it spreads democracy on a wide scale.

[Zeddy]

It is incredibly fun and reasonably effective to have multiple players throw it on the same base.

What did you say? I thought you said that sounds like a waste of four slots that could be better used on more efficient stratagems but I can't hear you over all of these awesome explosions.

Nothing to add. You have fun use it. The game is to have fun using fun toys.

I do think it might work if your entire team takes them. If you all sneak up and throw it in their base and then sneak away(they won't react until the bombs falls, if you are crouched).

[Hampamatta]

honestly, all the barrages are too spread out to be of any real use. needs to be tighter.

Honestly... Even the 120 mm is pretty much as useless, being the same cooldown and having the same accuracy.
