[General]Shitty Weapon Thread

As I stated prior (and I suppose not clearly) there is no increase. They either home well (you have more altitude), or they don't (you're lower than the target). The amount of homing you get for having 10 units of height is the same as if you had 100 units of height vs the target.

Pulsemissiles do engage better homing systems if your altitude > your target's altitude. Making them very useful on Airs as Air flies higher than any other bot.

Erm, you sure about that? I'm pretty sure they just home better on grounded targets and home like crap on airborne targets. And, airs are the only bot type that can use pulse missiles in the first place.

Mach Knight One's Pulsemissiles aren't great. They're actually quite shitty, seeing as 1)they're single fire(two pulsemissiles per clip, one clip a mag), 2)their homing seems to suck even at higher altitudes vs. the target, 3)they're really, really slow.

The biggest problems with them are that they're subwep-based and force you to fly straight forward while firing.

Pretty certain the only weapon that continues to have increased homing with increased elevation difference is Psycho Cluster's Burst Beam.

Shitty weapons: Custom Gun?

custom gun is like a mix between the handshot weapons and the magnums

it's got plenty of attributes similar to the handshots (fast rate of fire, 10+ damage, low ammo)

it's pretty good imo

If you do something about the ammo and range, it's a usable gun.

Well I say Rage Machinegun is pretty shitty due to the low power and range and the high cost.

Argeed.
