On this weekend's test server we could test the Chimera weapon - basically a heavy spiral rocket. I have tested it on several maps and in different setups and found it most practical on the Fury and on the Natasha in combination with Spirals.
time stamps: 00:35 - Chimera Fury on Shenzen, with first impression stated at the end 03:20 - Chimera Fury on Moon, with disadvantages shown and stated at the end 07:50 - Chimera / Spiral Natty on dead city 11:08 - Chimera Fury on Yamantao, taking out Noobtrain 12:45 - Chimera / Spiral Natty on Dreadnought, with surprise "kitchen sink" (Thanks Adrian for the colourful description) 14:45 - summary and my 10 cents on the weapon

Mate, it's not a heavy spiral. It's a Heavy Spiral-Hydra. It has 3 loads hat can be fired seperately (like Hydra), each load has 3 missiles shooting out at same time (like spiral).

Unless you intend to pitch a tent, I don't see much use for them. I almost dozed off while using them.

Hey, thanks for your feedback guys And yes, test server videos from me are not necessarily to advertise new items, but to give a fair evaluation of them / their usability. As shown and stated in the video, the (heavy) Chimera in its current form has way too little punch to it (the light spirals on the Natty have clearly more). The fact that it needs to break through both energy and physical shield before doing any damage doesn't help either. However, I think with a buff they could become usable and give heavy support bots a comeback. @pulse Hadron: yes, they are, hence the evaluation and to give people a better idea whether or not to put their resources into Chimera or something else . Appreciate your feedback. Please let me know what you'd like to see next .
