Hi!
So I currently have 2 thunders on my carnage. meh.
I have 3,000 gold, going for the 5th lot. So when I finally get my 5th slot, should I try to go for:
A Carnaze with 2 zeus's
or
Carnage with 2 Tridents
Basically, which one is better on a Carnage: a trident or a zeus?
Any input would be great!

IMO, Zeus. Should have made a Poll though... easier to count the responses  |

Zeus, tempest, or ember are the only good options right now. Trident is not good in the current meta. That said, it won’t always be that way.

Zeus. Trident is terrible. Hang on to them until they get buffed.

Zeus IMO. I used to run a trident fury some time ago. Tried the tridents on a carny back than and for me the damage caused wasn't enough. With the recent proliferation of anciles the effectiveness of the tridents have decreased. IMO the abilities of the carnage are better suited to carrying zeuses. Sort of a better match. Two Zeuses can also annoy kumis and haechies. Personal opinion I have more fun with a Zeus carny than with a trident carny. its a blast to play compared to the trident set up.

Zeus. Because it has short reload time (5s). You should try embers and tempests on a carnage too, if u have them.

His Thunders are the best . i would rate zues as second choice and trident as third .
If you buy a second carnage then go zues .

Between the two, I concur, Zeus. In case you aren't sure to spend 3000 gold here I suggest to post your hangar  |

If I have a couple brawlers already I would strap the Zeus to it for support. Just got my second Zeus and it is fun but I enjoyed the thunders and will use then when needed. I'm practising with the Zeus for the Christmas event. Sorry but killing bots by any means to get through the grind. |

Thunders IMO, they kill quickly and very fun to play, also teaches you some tricks.

Zeus is good until you get caught by a Zeus Fury. If you can afford Embers, then those would be best. Otherwise, Thunders.

Zues is good but if ya got tempest you can keep enemy out from beacon in long range map..also if sniper is reloading out and can’t hide and are within 800m thy can be easily killed or atleast more than 50% of health would be gon..zues is good against griffin,Leo etc..tempest against ancilot..however atm it’s easy to obtain zues compared to tempest so I’ll say save for zues

Thunders IMO, they kill quickly and very fun to play, also teaches you some tricks. Thunders are the unfortunate victims of the dash bots. Even at close range, most pellets miss the tiny waistline of the dash bots. Additionally, nearly half of the bots in the top leagues have ancile. Unlike longer range weapons, you can't easily switch to a better target. The Ember now occupies the position that the Thunder once held. |

I agree, but if you know how to drain their shields and ammo, you can eat them quickly. After all, the Thunder Carnage is made to kill those who aren't focusing on you. |

Only replace the Thunders if you are looking for a mid-to-long-range option and have nothing else in that department. I've run Thunder Carnage all the way into Expert III but now it has replaced my RDB as a Zeus Carnage as the range option in my Hangar.
Also, I wouldn't spend any resources on Zeus outright, they can be obtained from chests or maybe the next event with a little patience.

Of course you won't win a straight all-in duel, but you can normally force the Fury into a tie and play hide and seek until someone else takes on that big fat Fury. |

Meh for the thunder Carnage?! Well I ought ta'...
Love the TC. 3 days ago on DC I took out 2 dashbots, a lance, and half a griff with the same carnage. I sometimes run 2 TCs in one game.
But if you really don't like thunders then go for zeus. Tridents aren't great for the higher levels (too many anciles).

I've Lvl. 8 Tridents & Lvl. 10 Zeus. Also, Lvl. 10 Nashorns, Lvl. 10 Trebuchets, Lvl. 9 Thunders, of my 3 Lvl. 10 Carnage loadings, only Zeus works (great)! My piloting is unprofessional at best, but Zeus reloads same time my "special abilities" Sprint is. Be sure to "lock-on" your tgt. as Zeus can alternate to an undesirable tgt. just as your pressing the 'fire' button! Most annoying.

I am the minority who plays with embers from the charity prize and even I prefer Zeus over what I have.
The numbers are great on the wiki, and honestly, as a majority opinion, it is great.

Of course you won't win a straight all-in duel, but you can normally force the Fury into a tie and play hide and seek until someone else takes on that big fat Fury. It's not just a Zeus Fury. I've tried the Zarnage for a while. It was ok for me. Doesn't fit my style at all. But the biggest problem is the Carnage itself. Sure, if you're on a big map, and there's lot of blues around, you'll do fine. I can't count the number of times I got nailed by a Zarnage who kept me at range. But, the Carnage is just too weak against plasma. I can kill a Carnage is about 3 - 4 shots with a Zeus Fury, and if I catch a Carnage out in the open on say Springfield with my sniper Nat, it's toast. The Carnage's strengths are its rush, it's dual heavy points and it's ancile. All those are best utilized in a close range ambush. |

IMHO - Zeus with the current meta. However, I have seen a Tempest Carny be a real pain in the arse if you pilot it carefully and stay in that 600-700m range.
