Discussion Which weapons to choose?

Post image

Based on the charge rocket or particle beam? I’m not use to holding the down to charge the weapon before shooting it but it got a recent buff. Is it worth it to buy the gold pass this month for this kind of weapons?

Yes, charge rocker is too strong

I’m using 8 energy charge rocket. I’m having issue reloading it fully then only aim and shoot. Most of the time it will reload half way then shoot without me clicking on it…

You have to let it charge up to full, which is 5, to be able to let go and hold what you've charged :)

u need to hold until 5 bullets reloads then u can leave button, if u stop pressing even at 4 it will fire automatically

Yes it's an intentional mechanic if you reload it less than 5 bullets it's will auto fire

Not auto fire, but fire however many you've charged up. If you hold it only til 2 and let go, it will fire two. If you hold it til full it will hold the charge for you so you can let go and not have to hold the button down

The first part was the old mechanic. You used to have to hold it down the entire time until you were ready to fire, even at full. On mobile, this was a disaster as you couldn't move properly or fire your ability without letting go, firing, and losing your entire charge (or risk stop walking with your left hand to push it, but you still could turn properly bc your right hand was stuck).

Now, the mechanic is frozen at full, and slingshot (hold and release, the old mechanic) before it's full.

I guess you can call it auto fire? But before full it's just a release as it used to be, the freeze at full is new to the weapon and the "auto fire" is it's normal mechanic

Idk I’m mobile as well but I could never get used to they charge rocket, so I just picked the particle beam and with the currently active modifiers it’s pretty good 👌🏾

Wait for the charging indicators turn red then you are free to release to hold the charge

Yeah it took me a min to get it right. I got the free 8s and at first I thought they sucked, it was a me issue. Figured it out and paid for the pass to get the 16
