  • The LAS-98 Laser Cannon is an absolute blast! For the short period I tested it I discovered its bot slaying capabilities. I didn't realize how familiar it would feel being an active Railgun user. If you are accurate, and you are thoughtful, you cannot go wrong with the LAS-98.

    This and the railgun have been my recent go to's on the bots.

      The Railgun has always been my favourite weapon. Especially for Automatons. The Laser Cannon feels remarkably familiar to the Railgun. Was a simple enough adaption

      Railgun is insane on bots. It can one-shot anything that is smaller than a Tank

      @@cptheadache4584 Yeah people keep saying it's bad but I love the thing. I pair it with the plasma punisher and supply backpack. Practically unlimited ammo, stims, pistol nades, stuns. With experimental infusion is now most used loadout on bots.

      ​@Zetheek We personally skip the Experiemental infusion as a safety practice. We run level 9-10 regularly, so our accuracy is a huge deal using the LC and Railgun. Something that the infusion booster negatively impacts

      I've been loving it! Gonna throw you a tip. When dealing the with Factory strider, don't be afraid to get close. Blow its lower guns off and move in close to avoid its top mounted cannon. Once in close, it'll focus on you, helpless against the beam. I cannot understate how useful this tool it.

      Btw how is the railgun currently, compared to the first time it came out. Against automatons. I've played during April-May so kinda missed the whole overpowered thing, recently been using Railgun instead of AMR, and finding it to be better against Hulks and destroyers. Turrets, Tanks, Factory Striders and Gunships seems to be rather hard to deal with though. So wondering how it was before?

  • @themainman2827

    • @1stColonialRegiment
      @1stColonialRegiment  Před měsícem +2

      Yes, I agree. But I wouldn't use the Laser Cannon on Super Helldive. It's a suicidal weapon at that difficulty. It's a beautiful weapon for 7-9, but 10 turns Its TTK nature against it. I will stick to my Railgun.

    So this and railgun cover each other's weaknesses pretty damn well then?

    • @1stColonialRegiment
      @1stColonialRegiment  Před 17 dny

      I'd say so. Although, a team comprised entirely of these two weapons would suffer in some regions. killing light armour hoards would be tedious and expensive. Our squads have found great success in using a combination of the Railgun, LaserCannon, HMG and AutoCannon. I'd consider this a very well rounded team.
