The Storm works really well on the Scorpion. It didn't take me long to level a new pair to L10. They're so cheap and fast to upgrade and work so much better than Coronas on the Scorpion. I'm just debating if I should keep my Halo on the Scorpion or start leveling a Gust past L9.
When comparing Scorpion builds, the Shotgun Scorpion is a true assassin bot. Keep it hidden until its ability is ready to go. I LOVE going after Ares cause I can actually kill one before I blink back to safety. The FDB Scorpion is more of an all rounder. It does more over damage than shotguns, but it also takes longer too. So, it balances out.
I haven't really tried anything else. I was going to go flames at first, but Igniters and Blazes are so expensive to upgrade and need to be really high level before they're useful. If you're Scorpion is high level as well as your flamethrowers, then this is probably the best build for the Scorpion. Mine, at L9 just doesn't have the stamina to use the flames well. I'd rather Backstab in, do a whole bunch of damage, and blink back before my target has fully turned around.

Well about the whole corona thing, After the nerf storms will still deal more damage point blank that coronas "if it's actually 15% not more", but the amount will be imperceivable, Storms at ~69,000 at lvl 12 mk2 versus corona with 66,600, or about 3% more, and at any other range than point blank coronas will do far more simply because of their superior range values which will easily overcome that small lead storms have, not to mention of course that you'll have lockdown capability. I do imagine coronas may be a backup of choice for some players who have them max already for this reason, likely leading to another nerf but we'll see about that, In any case the laserhose weapons are more than capable of shredding point blank, and then also have the ability to melt at their max range, I remember all the complaining about coronas back in the day how they did "so much" at 500m, Also scourge are a great option in general but who knows how long it will stay that way. |

Yes, it would be a War Robots miracle if it doesn't happen at this point, and it's what inspired me to make the meme above. |

between the storm nerf and the redeemer "nerf" I am about done. Especially after i spent the last 2 months building redeemers.
So my spending is now over.

Atomizers arent great close range tbh, much better mid range weapon. Not comparable to storm at all. It’s why they suck on gale or scorpion, you need the burst...

By the numbers that's just wrong though, up close laserhose arent just as deadly as long range theyre even better because the spread becomes irrelevant, and the dps values are very good. Sure in a 3 second time frame point blank shotguns do more, and then they fall off, it's obvious though they want more cryo and atomizer, so that burst is being made less rewarding. |

Despite what the numbers would suggest, it really isn’t as good up close as shotguns. Many of its splinters miss when overheated. But I think Pixonic will improve this area sometime in the future and it will lead to the breakout of the Atomizer meta — I sincerely hope it doesn’t happen. |

I run an atomizer leech and a storm Ravana. There’s a huge difference between the 2 at close range. Shotgun might fall off after burst, but you’ve done 240k damage with 6 shots. Atomizer is like dying by 1000 paper cuts... |
