I know the bow is useful, but when you do the bunny hop strat wouldn’t it be better to do it with the plasma caster. You wouldn’t miss almost at all because of blast radius. You don’t have to collect arrows, and you don’t have to use a weapon slot. I guess the wingers might be a problem.
I don’t know, do you guys think it’s better to use the plasma caster or bow?
Depends on the situation really. With the bow you can do more damage and remain cloaked however you have to be able to land your shots. With the caster you won’t do nearly as much damage unless you charge it and leave yourself open, you also won’t be able to sustain for long unless you’re rocking hunter or elder however with cloak or thermal on it won’t last too long either.
Yeah, but the bow can be really easy to counter it’s also prone to some glitches. With a bow you have to take more time to aim so I think you will have more pressure with plasma caster. I will probably start using plasma caster.
if you hit your bow shots, then its better. If you dont land many shots, maybe the caster is better. But in general, I would use the bow for that. Maybe only when they are all close to each other.
Plasma doesnt deal much damage when its not charged, so I prefer bow
Well I hit a good amount of shots it just feels like it takes to long to aim almost so I’m going to drop it, I really want a new ranges weapon.
^What he said.
yes, everyone wants new range weapons. it sucks that we only get retarded weapons like viking axe, hammer or katana (I actually liked the katana, but still it sucks that we never got a ranged weapon)
they could give us variants of the caster or just new games like a plasma sniper or something.
I’m so board of bow, and plasma caster. Reverse the nerf to the handheld.
damn, the old times, where it was worth it to use the plasma pistol, damn. it was so funny to play with. Now it is trash
The glok from space, lol.
idk, why illfonic messes so many things up and nerfs the pred. Makes 0 sense…
Bunny hop is not a strat
It’s an act of desperation
Like throwing shit on the wall and hoping it sticks
The equivalent to camping
I still enjoy it
:)
I use both situationally. Bow for ambushes and if the ft is unaware of my presence, Caster for when they are running away or fighting.
A good team who constantly tracks me should typically force me to use Plasmacaster.
In my opinion HHPC is fun to use, just ineffective against any good team. They either need to buff damage, or reduce recoil to make it good against a decent team again. I do like that it is a really nice stealth weapon though, as it has no laser or arrow trail, the FT just has to fire where they think it came from or if they saw where the shot came from.
Caster is literally “HERE I AM GUYS, SNIPE MY HEAD OFF”
While with the Bow you can remain stealthy and still deal dmg.
It’s possible, but not as effective for a few big reasons.
The blast radius is very small on the quick shots.
You get 30 arrows. If you need more than that, you’re missing too much anyway.
None of the other weapons are nearly as strong as bow, at the moment. Unless you want to run a fast hands, net gun, and Elder sword build, you’re not missing out by bringing the bow.
The damage of the plasma caster quick shots are significantly weaker than the Yautja bow that starts at 57 damage and charges to 70. Also, you have the laser visibility and and energy consumption to manage as well, with the plasma caster.
Run out of arrows because I guess I don’t pick them up after I hit them.
Personally, I think the damage for the bow should start at 46 and end at 70, and picking up arrows, the disk, and the combistick should require a short interaction…,
but currently all you have to do is run past them or leap in and out to pick them up. It’s not really an inconvenience or a hindrance.
Bow does more quick fire damage. Plasma quick fire is tickles
Plus the caster has splash damage , as the bow needs more accuracy
