Las-5 Scythe sucks?

[Reborn]

Does this gun just suck? I got excited about a laser rifle, nabbed it up, but it doesn't seem to do much to anything. Am I just using it wrong, or does it need some sort of huge damage buff?

[ThatSage114]

yes

[Lucky Cat]

Its not the best but its not terrible either. Its actually exceptional at limb slicing. The major benefit is just the fact you don't have to worry about ammunition as much.

There is going to be a Balance patch for the weapons so who knows what'll that do to the Las weapons in general.

Yep. Trash.

With laser weapons you have two options:
1. Cut limbs.
2. Focus weakspots. (Can be tricky since they don't tend to give a lot of "feedback" upon hitting)

It most definitely doesn't "suck" I used the Scythe for at least a solid 5-8 hours and I can say it's just very different and requires some rewiring of your brain.

But use what you like after all, that is the spirit of the game.

I wanna like it! It's a damn laser gun! But it feels like a tickle taser, maybe if they upped the feedback so it "feels" better?

Its a decent weapon. It deals alot of Damage over Time and here lies the issue. Shotguns like the Breaker deal all that Damage upfront and kill an Enemy much quicker. Time is invaluable at higher difficulties when you have to get rid of small fodder swarming you while Chargers or Bile Titans for example run you down :P

[Winblows]

id say its at least not worth it on bots, since bots have range. at least with bugs they have to melee you.

The laser gun is alright, but I've not heard a single good thing about the laser cannon. I just bought it because I have nothing left to buy lol.

[zerted]

the feedback of its damage and burn proc feels pretty bad

[BrutHammer]

Its sucks, you wont be able to play on dif 7+ dif

[DorkianBae]

Laser weapons in general just kinda suck, sadly.
Their damage needs to ramp up the longer you have it turned on or something...

the only place it doesnt suck is on your guard dog

Yes it does because it hits teammates more than the enemies lol

Wait for weapon attachments, I hope it gets a 6x scope or an 8x.

The weapon is extreme range with no recoil & piss all damage, It can cut limbs off easy but with a Hunter that pounces on you it can hit you 2-3 times before you get a chance to kill it & 1x RDS doesn't help with it having that potential of maybe having infinite range, this also applies to the Laser Cannon & Recoiless as they should have something better then a 1x on them for longer ranges.
