Scorcher or Sickle (Edit Sickle not Scythe)

[Dust]

If heard alot about the Sickle recently, but before that i used the scorcher for its versatility/ scorcher can basically ignore medium armor, and its small stun makes it invaluable.
When i tried the Sickle i found it fun, but not able to deal with medium armor or the bigger enemies as well. So what i asking is this; is the Sickle only good until you get the Scorcher, or is it strong enough to replace it?

[BananaBadman]

These weapons have different use cases, one does not outright replace the other. A team that is using both of these weapons is the correct option. (For bots)
If you're going to run solo with it, then you take a support weapon that covers your primary's weakness.

Edit: Assuming OP is talking about Sickle since nobody talks about Scythe other than it being trash.

Scythe is bad, sickle is great, between the scorcher and sickle? IMO depends on what you need, i like scorcher a lot vs bots, against bugs the sickle is great.

[DMesse]

Entirely depends on what weapon you have on your 3rd slot. Pick accordingly. Neither can replace each other.

scorcher for bots, unloading an entire mag into the weak spot of tanks, hulks and those long range tower cannons will destroy them, 2-3 shots to the front of a scout strider will kill. As far as I can tell its damage does not drop off with distance.

Sickle, perhaps for bugs on cold planets where you get less heat build up.

scorcher for bugs as well, but for different reason.
scorcher is huge help against titans and chargers.

For charger, if you line up 5 - 6 hit on the underside of its ass, its dead (works really well combined with the stun grenades).

for titan, you can quickly and easily explode the sacks under it, dealing a decent amount of damage and neutering their long range attack.

What ive found is Sickle is better on mouse and keyboard, and Scorcher better on controller, feeling wise.you can be more precise on m&k, so the Sickle feels great with its precision. Controller is naturally clunkier, so not having to aim for weak spots as much is super helpfull

The sickle is a primary stalwart (slight pros / cons, but, it basically is.)

It's more comparable to a higher damage liberator. It is incomparable to the scorcher.

The scorcher is my go to for bots because of its ability to kill scout walkers fvrom the front. But sickle's range, speed, accuracy, and damage, are all absolutely solid.

The sickle is so accurate you can just hip fire it perfectly fine for pest clearing.

I've been running the sickle over the scorcher lately for bugs, mainly because my support/stratagems are almost exclusively focused on dealing with heavies and elites. It's much easier to handle the hunter packs with the sickle than with the scorcher, at least for me.
