Redeemer is a heavy plasma-Taran type weapon. I think its the most fun of the new weapons. It brings new meaning to a lancelot --- One Redeemer two Tarans. New meaning to a leo, with one Redeemer and 3 Magnum. Carnage with two Redeemers. And not the least, the Fury with three Redeemers. This will really kill you. Oh lets not forget what it can do on the Raijin --- a blast knocks half of the HP in my Carnage.
Gust makes a good set with Leo with Thunder. I like to see it go with a Griffin, two Gusts and two Storms.
I think the Redeemer has the potential to be a new meta, and wipe out the Dash menace. It has true potential to resurrect the Raijin.
The new TDM format favors short ranged brawling battles, and this will help all these new weapons from the Vortex to the Redeemer.

We really didn't need it. |

thanks for a heads-up above two posts, but isn’t it time to give all bots (except componenet bots) some HP buffs? now they need to endure ThunderStorms, Gusts, Tempests, Hurricanes (Orkans), some more thunders in an ancient foreign language (Tarans), and Vortexes (whatever weather condition it means). they have been zapped by the lightening of Zeus and also for some reason by ... moonlights (Gekko). they have been bitten by Hydras and Aphids* and shot with Mugnums and Trebuchets (siege machines throwing stones and rocks), and ground to fine powder by Molots (mills). they also have been Punished and subjected to an Inquisition, and now about to be Redeemed (what horrendous crimes and sins they commited? oh I see, not paying?). most of all, they have been Shocked in a train recently. tears flow covering my filthy face, give some mercy to non-component bots (never thought I would end up defending a Lance ) * Aphids are pests which suck saps out of plant stems. when multiple of them feasting on a plant, they somewhat resemble the shape of the weapon, I guess that’s where the name came from, unless it is not. Aw Cr@p! .....And all that on a limited warranty. Im hoping they get a buff as well....and maybe added abilities. I want an ancile for doc! Oh, and you forgot to mention rust.  |

Gust is awesome, especially on either a Stalker or Gepard. I've been able to take out Leos and Raijins while running circles around them. The Redeemer is powerful, and something Dash bots can't carry, so I'm good with it. It is certainly a viable counter.

I wish they included Storm. I ran a plasma Golem (Redeemer Taran Magnum) and a shotgun Golem (Thunder Storm Gust) would be really fun too.

We really didn't need it. Actually the burst damage on the Redeemer seems higher. A burst takes a huge chunk of a heavy bot's HP just like that. The time to kill is going to be shorter than an Ember. |

I really wish pix would just move on from team death match. This weeks test server was just stupid spawn 300 meters from the red team and just slug it out. I was very boring.

I played only 2 games and got $h!ts with people using orcans, trebs, tempest, hydras, zeus... we are here to test new weapons and new TDM mode, not competing. Who cares about wining or loosing...
When it comes to testing, pixo should made only new weapons available and nothing else.

TDM is far from the ideal setup to test new equipment. Everybody and their mother hopping on a fury or lancelot. The new spawn points drops you in the heat of battle right away with little time to hatch a strategy. Its mindless rock, paper, scissors. Precious little time to try out any thing new.

The Redeemer is definetely too strong, IMHO. Even at L8, it smashes bots like nothing. It's stronger than the Ember, and I have to admit it's really cool (especially 3 on a Panda Fury) but they have to improve its visual and sound effect. Moreover, it seems to go through physical shields sometimes.
The Gust is useless, just like the Storm.
The Vortex is not bad, it's good on a Griffin with Aphids.
The new TDM is bad. You spawn just in front of the enemy, with 0 strategy involved...I don't like it.

When it comes to testing, pixo should made only new weapons available and nothing else. I prefer ppl being able to use current builds. We are testing the weapons for the live server (which has all of these bots running around) not just for future builds that will be obsolete on the next round of pixo’s updates |

Sadly the Jesse is left behind AGAIN. It's not a combination that works very good with him. I had success with an Aphid/Gust set-up for Jesse. Perhaps give it a try? Soften with an Aphid, quickdraw the Gust for the kill... It worked for me. |
