Railgunner is bad, change my mind.

The new DLC char is terrible; she has a terrible M1 (Commando M1 copy pasted), a mediocre M2 which requires you to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ aim for the weakpoints in the middle of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ battle, a very situational Utility that does no damage whatsoever, and while the special is good, the fact that you can't use anything while it recharges makes it so bad.

Yeah the devs play on easy mode all the time so it caters to their crap gaming abilities unfortunately.

I really like the aim mechanic not gonna lie, after a few runs of her on monsoon, she does fall off a bit compared to other characters, but then again that could either be because the run wasn't that great, or I just wasn't as good as her yet as I am with others (which makes sense obviously). But I can see why she's not for everybody. You really need to know how to move yourself and position where you are to effectively clear our waves and bosses. Seems she has a somewhat high skill gap.

Now VOID FIEND... I have a lot of questions about...

My biggest issue with Railgunner is the inability to do meaningful crowd control. Sure the M1 is homing, but it does so little damage that it takes a long time to clear groups of mobs. The M2 is stronger (if you can manage to crit), but usually you can only target 1-2 enemies at a time with it. Things like the Ukulele help because it allows you to chain crit damage from the M2 attack, but overall Railgunner is geared more towards fighting bosses instead of enemies. So I'm not a huge fan.

they are interactive and more engaging characters but are they as good as the other characters... no not by a long shot

[Pickupsticks]

haha wait till you try the void dude

Railgunner is extremely fun to play for me, and that's all i really care about. Long term runs be damned.
Yeah you CAN one shot a small mob with other characters, but deleting them with a quick-scope snipe just FEELS more satisfying, you know?

Edit: Grammar

I personally enjoy Railgunner.

I almost never use my M1 though, saving it for those instances where I absolutely have to.

I usually just take quick scope shots while jumping. I find the hit box large enough to accommodate this style.

The force grenade started to grow on me. Takes some practice, but gives alot of mobility options. It also makes a great panic button if your swarmed and want to be anywhere but here.

I don't really use the ultimate though. The charge up and cool down time is brutal, and I personally find it's more effective (if your ontop of reloads, and don't completely miss shots) to scope.

I mean, I killed the new final boss with her the very first time I made it to the final boss despite the fact that my friend I was playing in coop with was dead. I also got her Monsoon skin in the first Monsoon run I attempted with her solo. She seems pretty functional. Sure, the lack of a spammy attack speed ability will probably hurt her for god runs after like stage 10, but also she has Kjaro synergy like no other character in the game.

I think she's pretty good.

I won't change your mind because I don't care to. If you feel she is weak then consider her your new challenge to master or play another survivor.

I like Railgunner, i find the joy of quick scoping enemies 1 by 1 while being surrounding, it kinda make me feel like a god.(sorry bad english)

This is pretty much my experience word for word. M1 rarely ever used, M2 awesome, Shift great for mobility that grew on me, R I stay away from as much as possible. I do endulge myself in using it every now and again but the drawback is quite big.

I think they made the M2 quite "noob" friendly and enjoyable. Cool new survivor for sure. My favorite for sure.

M1 is devastating against flying and weaker enemies with stun grenade and soldier syringe +gas/ wisp. Better than Commando. She even outpaces other survivors with mine mobility at the start of the game.
