The Arc Blitzer really needs some love...
After all these buffs the Arc Blitzer still suffers from its childhood desease. It has always been one of my favourite weapons, but these are annoying since I play with it.
The damage has been always on the lower side of all weapons, but the utility was always worth it. Stopping whole breaches if played right, unlimited ammo... and the oportunity to even kill the heaviest medium unit with it while staggering it IS STRONG.
But why did they implement the "automatic fire while holding" back then? For the arc thrower it got a big advantage to keep holding after each click. The Blitzer got no advantage at all.
What if it would shoot out one extra bold after each ongoing shots? Or would keep its firerate or range increasing on each consecutive shot?
OR: The most important Idea, what is the childhood desease I was talking of: If it was not tracking any dead bodies or metal parts in the map if you are holding down the button. Thats the most annoying part of all Arc weapons...
As I said, its good... but could also become some love and "utility" like other weapons got. Still playing it neither the less, but I wanted to hear your opinions on this weapon. Especially with the oshaune planet I guess many took out this beauty out of pure frustration =D
