Crisper pistol vs grenade pistol

[Captain Furious]

Which do you prefer?

Crisper can damage heavies
Grenade can close holes

Both are useful IMO

[Tahla]

Grenade pistol every day so I can take stun grenades. Since when can the Crisper damage heavies? Burning is AP4, heavies are usually AP5 so burning does no damage and the Crisper itself is AP3.

What are you doing with the crisper, exactly?

[Netaris]

The mini-shotgun. :)

Grenade can also damage heavy enemys so for a 40min mission 100% grenade pistol, on extermination missions crisper

havent played much with the fire-pistol, but i prefer the nade-pistol.
semi-rarely i run out of nade-pistol ammo before anything else, even when trying to use it with priority (spamming into hiveguards, spitters or when on the move).
also it´s a slow but decent enough backup when i´ve emptied the nadelauncher but are unwilling to use a pack of my supplybackpack (which also invalidates the fire-breaker ammo nerf).
running around charges to start cooking their buts seems very much like a waste of time... i also run eats + commando, so 95% of the time there´s enough anti tank resources.
also going into melee when it´s not absolutely necessary is dumb.

I've never used anything other than the revolver since I got it unlocked

If fire caused bugs to flee in fear for a second to give space, I would use the crisper all day to create space. It doesn’t do that so I lean towards the grenade pistol and stun grenades as another user said.

It would be helpful, at least for the smaller chaff but letting stuff like the warrior and commander still continue forward as they do that in death anyways

Hunters and stalkers are really the main things that kill me. I just want more weapons that can more reliable control their movements.

Crisper. Makes me feel like Boba Fett or using a can of hair spray with a lighter whenever I use it.

Personally I like how I can lightly jog away while turning the terrain behind me into fire against bugs and using it behind a ballistics shield against a mass of trooper bots is incredibly satisfying (also lets me kill scout striders from the front, not sure about those new ones).

This is disinformation

You can kill Chargers with the Crisper

Bushwacker Shotgun to one shot Brood Commanders and 2 shot Stalkers while stunning them.

Against their butt I'm sure, which is totally fine and how all other weapons work

For stalkers you need a weapon that can stagger them or kill them fast. A lot of times you can tell when one is in the area is when the combat music starts playing while you're just exploring. Unfortunately they doesn't work as well with this patch as the music picks up for even the impaler being in like a 500m radius of you even if it's not aggro, but I digress

The cookout bullies and kills the stalker really easily, as does the Plasma Pun, Dominator or any other weapon with stagger or fast TTK like the HMG

What tends to get you killed is having or using a weapon with zero stagger like the sickle or the breaker incen

If you shoot them in the weakspot, otherwise no.

Everything can kill a charger if you shoot it in the behind for long enough. Your statement though was that it can kill heavies which is a misleading statement if you're talking about chargers and bile titans in particular. You can set them on fire, but the burning status effect deals no damage to them no matter how much they may appear to be burning.
