I'll have to say it, but, holy ♥♥♥♥, is WASP launcher a pathetic PoS.

An entire mag can't kill any heavy enemy, unless there's enough weakpoint hits, which basically accounts to gambling 7 times in a row.
The artillery mode wins the prestigious title of being worse than the cluster launcher. The burst mode literally does the anti-trash job better, with 7 shots that have more AoE.
Rockets are launched radially, meaning that some rockets will always explode prematurely when shot near a wall(s)/rock(s). Oh, and, shooting on sloped ground or inside a ceiled structure will cause some of the rockets to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ explode in your face because of that as well!

Feels like nothing about this weapon has been tested at all. Gave it random stats and pushed it into the live build.

Do not forget it has two different shooting modes you can switch between

[DMG]

i dont think its trash but for a weapon with a backpack and stationary reload i'll stick with the RR. but at this stage in the illuminate attack its good to have someone on your team with the wasp imho.

[Shestick]

My greatest annoyance against illuminates are flying bastards, and this thing can kill them with one shot, except when it misses or hitting a wall, but it is still an insanely useful thing for me

Kinda why take a weapon then which takes a backpack though? there are way better alternatives.

The autocannon takes a backpack too and is similarly better against special enemies rather than heavies.
Not to mention the cluster launcher.

It has heavy armour penetration on burst rockets. It is fully intended to do *something* to heavies. But ho-hey, they don't do anywhere enough damage to compensate for the lack of manual targeting, and in most cases the gun needs a mag + ONE MORE rocket to kill things like hulks and chargers.

It's probably for the best that some players are adamant that the WASP isn't amazing. Hopefully it means it won't get nerfed too soon.

The only enemy the autocannon isn't particularly good against is the bile titan. It cracks everything else. The backpack holds a lot of ammo. The reload is blisteringly fast. Extremely accurate and allows you to aim manually. Equally effective at any range and in all circumstances.
Basically, everything that WASP isn't.

And we don't talk about the cluster launcher.

First of all, know your weapon. Yeah, its a explosive weapon with 2 modes....use that properly.

So, the shine of this weapon INST "oh, BIG GUY, 1 SHOT, BOOM" like Lancer or others rocket lunchers. The shine is cleaning multi "elite" troops on 1 "shot", so only zombies remain.

Ok, 2 modes: The "fast mode" is for multi-target "elites" and clean the zone of dangerous ones, and the "siege mode" is for target a single "elite" with a lot of zombies around.

I am a "Alone Wolf Logistic-Diver" (The guy who go alone to hell and go back with 50 SC + 30 samples and all secondary objetives done), so the WASP inst for me ...but hellyeah, i like when a fellow Heavy-diver clean the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mosquitos and i can clean the road of zombies easily.

My Score for the weapon? 6.5/10...i think its need more bullets on the chamber (like 10 fast mode/2 siege mode), more reloads on the backpack or no need of a backpack.

Yeah, all true but....try to hit a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mosquito with that weapons...you are forgeting something: Handeling and speed. In my experience with heavy weapons, HMG is a nightmare for hit a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mosquito, more than one is hell. So, i am always using LMG (its still hard but its "ok") and i prefer walking to the harvest and blow them with a stick granade xD.

On a few words, Wasp can easily kill mosquitos really fast and you can switch to your primary for kill the zombies. With AC and CL? i dont think so.....

It's great for one thing, the FRV. Press C, pop out the passenger window and fire at mildly annoying enemies and then pop back into drivers seat with C again and be on your way. Don't even have to aim with aim bot. Can even reload inside the car while driving.
