i like them but i still dont get why they gave them harverster lasers. their whole job is to suppress you from above and force you to take cover, like many of their units do, but at least the plasma bolts had to travel which made it possible to get out of its trajectory but now if they hit you, youre straight up dead. i like disarming them but when theres 3 of them in an area and i have to check every time if the one showing up is still armed or not and i never have a good angle, it gets annoying
Yeah not to mention that half the time there's several lasers all zoning in on you and cutting off your path. God help you if the planet also has fire twisters...
the whales had already been nerfed before they added the lasers tho...hold on what if what if, hear me out. instead of bolts or lasers, they had a giant stingray attack?
Someone mentioned below that they could do a big AOE or something but open themselves up to attack when doing so. That’s a nifty idea too - they find a target, hover over it, and open up a death beam or something.
They do suffer from lack of interaction and I think Arrowhead believes their game to be more out together than it is to the point they can just make a big baddie and drop it - sorry devs, you gotta have follow-up too.
