I only have a single one that isn't leveled. I know SuperHero has used them a bit. Maybe he can speak to them.

Adrian kinda likes them. Decent range, splash damage. He says they are fun on Hawk.

How's the splash compared to Tulus? Or are they more like the pre-nerf Tridents?

I have a few maxed and play them just for fun when I run them. IMO their are much better options for heavies to spend resources on if you are not just building them for fun.

Sup, clannie? I have two that I never use. Even when people shoot me with them, I will ignore them and shoot at someone else. Much better options out there. Play a bunch and see if you can win those new fire rockets.

The Ice rockets, igniters and redeemers are doing a great job nowadays. Not heavy but I even took my sonics off my Fen and placed tarans on that I haven't run in three or more years. Some of the older weapons are very viable at this time.

I did get splashed out by some cat running Avalanches on an Ao Jun from max range the other day. It was really subtle too...I was like "what is happening to my health?" while I thought I was behind cover, and then boom. The status ticker at the bottom said I got Avalanched.

Tulumbas splash hasn't changed since I started in 2017. Tridents got nerfed though.

Not worth leveling imo. This game is all about brawling. Has been since I’ve been playing (4+ years). Again imo ymmv

I built 3 (nothing else to build)and will eventually bump em up to 1.9 or so for some Falcon fun, but I don’t see em making it into the main lineup. I do miss pre-nerf Tridents.

The reload is really fast which is nice.
I've been using them on the wings of a Hornet Falcon to pretty good effect. Shield breaker helps a lot.
They fall into that unfortunate valley of too good for 6pack, not good enough for live server.

Played with a deathsquad with everyone using new weapons and it was a disaster for us. We weren’t even getting hit but the bomb explode was taking us down in no time and the darn thing bypass resistance. They are toned down for a good reason since matches will get over too soon if they get popular like nucleon xD

It is just going to stand there fighting 3 to 5 reds. More DPS overall with the tarans IMO. I like Havocs on ravs, Scorpions, phantoms etc but even then I have placed cryos back on and feel they do just as well or better. Pop in dump load and boogie out. Havocs need to be used point blank and the reload sucks now so they are limited in usage I like having options. Just my 2 cents from how I play. I only have one bot in my main hangar with sonic weapons at this time a deme.

I wish nothing was OP and they all had a use depending on play. All weapons should have pros and cons but how would pix make money that way........

Don't leave home without them. I have two maxed on a lev 9 Au Jun + Yang Lee (flame thrower still not working properly). Decent splash and breaking shields. Were buffed a year ago or so but should be doing more damage. I watch my distance, lockdown and for me a good weapon for 1st drop (with Au Jun)..Expert 1. You can't miss a Loki with these beauties

I have 3 maxed on a trident collecting dust..They used to love aiming at that center beacon on Yamantou

I love them. I've got 1@ L10 and 1@ L6 and always have at least one in my rotation. The splash is good and the reload is better as you shoot a few rockets at a time and it's not the Pock, Pock, Pock. of other rocket weapons. This little fella loves them too.

I run a 3x 2.12 Avalanche fury. The fury is 2.5 w glider + dmg boost after suppression, mod activ & if locked down. 2x maxed TNM, using LDM (sometimes SB when loads of demeters in rotation) I had to learn how to properly use the Avalanche. Until I understood how to use the splash and how+where to aim the rockets, I wasnt impressed with avalanche at all. I had won a bunch of them while chasing something else and wasnt impressed at first time out (3x 1.6) It wasnt until I ran into a bulwark that creamed my whole squad with a set that made me check them out again. I loaded the fury up w LDM to shut shells up before I got mine. And thats when I learned- from thinking about it like my exo falcon.. but with 500m. Most dont realize you can still get hit from 515- Ive even locked down reds at 520m for the kill. They are not kill super fast weapons like shotguns. So people who are kill super fast now now now junkies might never like them lol. What they are is kill alot of whatever is over there weapons. Whether it be one red waiting for his ability or whatever he thinks he is gonna do when he comes from around that corner....or a bunch of reds.. doesnt matter. They all will eat my funky stuff, get locked.. and some will die now. The others will die after and during a dash to safety. Good stuff for blue team. They are diabolical for choking up lanes and avenues of advance like on carrier and shenzen... moon and dead city gives terrain to max splash damage to groups where they like to pile up like scorpions.... I could go on... but you guys get the point..
Its not about actually hitting the red. Its all about hitting where they are going to be. If you think about those bombs MOAB that blast just above the surface for max damage... well these are like the same thing. I dont aim for the red... Just off a bit so they eat the blast. And its very satisfying. lol.
They really are really good. I love them because my fury was crybaby blues on the shelf when avengers got the last nerf. Now like Johnny heeeeeeeeeeee's BACK lol.

A someone who runs both an RDB Griffin and a Avalanche Carnage my level 8 Avalanche are as powerful as my maxed Tulumbas and Pins and has a quicker reload. They punish wall hiders just fine but a brawling weapons they are not.

They punish wall hiders just fine but a brawling weapons they are not. mine are maxed and have run them on my Ao Jun and Hawk. I have brawled many times with them and they actually do better than most would imagine. Shocked myself winning many a battle I was sure I was going to die in. Are they OP level heck no but upgraded with damage modules like most weapons' that people run anyway they can put a hurting on.
