This is concerning my Blitz. I wanted 2 of the weapons to be lockdown weapons, so I have spent a month trying to create a Shredder. I only have 3 slots in my work shop. Then the Snare family of freezing weapons was created. I also discovered the magnetars. What should I use post buffs and nerfs for lockdown ? (I am not interested in lockdown modules).

Unfortunately, there are no killer lock-down brawling weapons right now. Halo is a burst weapon, so not a super good fit for Blitz. Shredder and Magnetar can both be dangerous when leveled, but ultimately fall short of other weapons’ output in a sustained brawl. Unless you use a drone chip (when you unlock drones) or change your mind and use the lock-down module, I recommend just giving up on lock-down in favor of damage. Blitz is a pretty speedy bot, especially with its ability, so victims running away is not a super big issue.

What is this new Snaer weapon that was created ? Does it replace the role of the Shredder or Magnetar ?

Not necessarily. Snaer does function like Magnetar in that it is a 600m sustained damage weapon, but has different properties like freeze instead of lock-down and reload-while-firing instead of a defensive end clip. Snaer does not have much in common with Shredder, they are pretty different. You may see the freeze guns doing a lot of damage because they are leveled up and/or have a drone supporting them. On even ground, Shredder and Magnetar perform much more closely to Snaer.

Why do all 3 weapons exist. Do they have different flight trajectories, damage, freeze durations ?
I own 1 snaer, and am halfway done with 1 Shredder (3 WS slots). Can I mix the two together ? Or do they do different affects.....

They exist to fill different niches. You are free to mix and match them if you want both lock-down and freeze, but it just means you will have to deal with three different firing mechanisms.

Or do they do different affects..... They’re very similar but different enough. use all 3 for mid range. Apply effects. Range: shredder 500 snaer and mag 600 Effect shred and Mag Lockdown Snaer freeze accuracy shredder bad farther away mag snaer 100% at all distance tracking fast moving objects shredder very bad magnetar good snaer 100% unload shredder and mag short burst snaer Continuous reload shrdder mag yes, clip snaer reload while firing effect accumulation yes, all slightly different. Snaer is best |
