Democratic Detonation (New Warbond) Early short review

[Voodoochile]

BR-14 Adjudicator Sniper = nothing new, not useful like rest of snipers

G-123 Thermite = Useless so far. It sticks to Chargers and Hulks but seems to do nothing

Expert Extraction Pilot Booster = Useless unless you are doing D9 with 4m extract modifier but you can pick much more useful boosters. Reduces extraction from 2m to 1:40m (20 seconds)

R-36 Eruptor Rifle = Useless. Feels like you are trying to aim a dumbbell. 5 shots only. Can kill Fabricator but only very close and at specific angle. Not good at literally anything else, so you sacrifice primary for a weapon that can do 1 thing only and not even good.

Nade Pistol = This one is great as expected! Super useful sidearm that fills a lot of roles.

Exploading X-bow = Terrible, as you might expect from a X-bow in the age of interstellar travel.

[Chaos]

Eh, I don't have high hope for X-box either, so guess all we got this time are the nade pistol for utility.

[Kan3da.]

Man, takes me longer then 25 minutes to check a piece of gear for viability you went through 4.

Yea that's preliminary and only tested them on bots. Just to give some info for people. Per example the booster is complete waste of 55 medals. I wouldn't pick it if I had the info.

Considering this dlc was out for less than a few hours you most certainly did not have the time to form any kind of a valid opinion.

Not to mention you did not even say what difficulty you """tested""" these weapons on, which is sort of the most critical part of HD2 because it impacts enemy army compositions.

Booster is garbo because it only works in the last 60 seconds of the mission, and often times the enemy "bugs" out and does not even attack during extraction even at diff 8-9.

I understand your point of view and that's why this is an "Early review" as I stated in the description. Additionally, none of the shortcomings of the weapons I mentioned would be impacted by difficulty.

Everything you say about the Eruptor is just wrong. This thing is awesome against bots.

Terrible take. You can tell in 1 round if a weapon is going to be garbage or not, I have the same opinion on 9 Diff.

Nade Pistol = haven't tried yet. Looking forward to this one
Exploading X-bow = haven't tried yet. I suspect similar capability and handling like the Eruptor

came to the same conclusions

[DarkFenix]

Your conclusions echo mine so far. I want to like the Eruptor, but it makes it so hard to.

[NonComOff]

that evac pilot booster in L7 was 2min 30s and in L5 was 1m 40s

Eruptor slander is crazy here.

The R-36 is literally the best utility weapon. Why? here's why.

Medium AP
Can deal with MULTIPLE threats at once (Airburst grenades so place your shots)
Can deal with Bot Fabricators meaning you save, grenades, startagems and time
Great for keeping trash under control or at least abating the swarm

Now I'm talking exclusively about the Bot side here but anything it can do to the bots it can do to the Bugs, you just need to watch out for Hunters.

Remember it's a UTILITY WEAPON not an "I Win Button" so you'll be more of a Support player but the R-36 rocks and I will die on this hill.
