The wallet chest offered me 3 for something around £85 and a whopping 17% discount I saw the offer for 3x Shredders for USD 100 equivalent about 2 hours ago (4 pm Hong Kong time)...don’t think it was the Pulsars for your offer. I bought them for the heck of it...maybe as a Gust replacement. |

How else can you get one now?  ? |

Just had 2 games back to back with someone using Shredders. The first was a Gepard on my team. Freaking sounded like a Star Wars movie. The next match was on the Red team on Carrier and he was running a pothead Leo with Shredders instead of Magnums. These guys must have taken advantage of that $125 triple Shredder deal! What a pain in the butt to get rooted by a guy you can't even reach cause he's to chicken to come out and play!

How else can you get one now? ? What people do with their cash is their business I guess but the new economy adds insult to injury. And nobody can answer this threads question cause they take 6 weeks (whales not withstanding) to upgrade so we can't tell if they're worthwhile . |

I got stuck by one today. Just after dashing over a hill they could shoot over. Made me smile.
Was actually surprised to see one in use so soon.

I bought the Pulsars for my Spectre when they were a whopping 17% off. I’m not going to spend a dime on upgrading them though and am slowly chugging away at upgrading them (currently all at L3-4). I have all the “necesary” meta weapons and bots but figure they will be fun and not too OP down the road to keep the game fun.

I have 4x Pulsars, thinking that I could use one of my 5 Spectres in my hangar to wield them. Unfortunately my opinion is that rooting opponents don’t do much unless you clan and others can swoop in for the kill. Of course it’s useless in FFA in higher leagues too.

I haven't leveled them yet, now I'm little more intrigued. They're in the queue... |

For shredder it seems to do well on ember striders. Good for immobilizing Kumihos in KOTH at the start of the game.

Won 3 pulsars from forum
Get 6k component from gold chest + the remaining from champs battle crate.
Put 4 of them in my spectre. But its collecting dust since its too costly to upgrade all four of them.
They're still at level 4 though.

I'm running a Level 4ish Pursuer with shredders. It's serious fun and I can see iy growing up to be a serious threat.

Didn't look like any spread in the videos I've seen anyway. |

Since it fires one at a time, I don't think there's any spread. Didn't look like any spread in the videos I've seen anyway. Hard to say till we've all played with both sometime mid 2020 BUT based on the numbers and the synergy with Pursuer, I was aiming for Shredders. Pulsars and Shredders actually have pretty similar cycle damage but shredder puts it out a lot quicker and also reloads a lot quicker. The price Shredder pays for it's superior DPS and Burst is accuracy at range and root% chance are much better on the Pulsar (Although the later is mitigated a little by the higher ammo output on the shredder). |

True, if I were to run Shredders, it would be on the Pursuer or Leo. You either need the speed and stealth or you need to be able to tank damage. I guess my preference for Pulsars comes after playing the root weapons in Skirmish. The Shredders' damage output was underwhelming. I don't really care about the root effect that much. I like these weapons for their ability to go through Anciles.
With all the OP Mk2 builds out there, I'm getting better mileage staying further back - hence my preference for Pulsars. Theoretically, I can stay further back and still do similar damage. It's all a pipe dream though. I already have 3 Dragoons for that MR role and it would take forever and a day to get 3 Pulsars and level them up.

I just rushed Yama against 3 red Kumihos. managed to root 2 while I was still on my way up the ramp, and then the Shocktrains all hit them  Hit the top of the ramp,stealthed, Killed the last kumi and managed to root an inquis on the back ramp just as he jumped I died after rooting a Spectrain and leaving him for the dogs. And for Australians this whole thing is 「gosh darn 」 hilarious. |

I see them being used now in combination with other weapons. Several Spectres swapped one weapon for a rootgun, et viola, instant death...
Even encountered some icm with orkans on dashbots... rooted from a distance, then they dash in for the kill... And my Leo's are already slow...

Given this new weapon is component-only at the moment in iOS, has anyone won or purchased components of the Pulsar? What kinds of Chests offer them? You can get components from silver and gold chests. It is not in royale. Most generous is battle rewards. I'm 1000 components away from a Pulsar... which is very similar to slightly better than a scourge for damage output, with no lockon wait, plus the root. I will add it to my Bulg with Scourges and surely will want more of them. |
