Hey Guys,
As my main account iOS is filled with P2W players, resulting in me loosing 100% of the time (and quitting for a long time), I decided recently to make a new account, playing F2P on iOS.
Getting straight to the point, as the Subject states, the Ion weapon is not showing in the workshop. When I first unlocked workshop, I purchased a 3 day Ion to research, and after collecting it, tried to research it again but I simply can not see it in the workshop. I tried navigating to the workshop via the weapon store, but the same problem persists.
Prior to creating this post, I did initiate a report via the in-game help section, and is yet waiting for Pixonic's assistance. However, if anyone could help me, that'd be very appreciated.
Since I can't upload a video from my computer's harddrive, I have uploaded the proof to YouTube:

Sounds interesting. PIX had announced that Ion would be removed from WS by the end of January. I just finished production of my 4th today. Maybe PIX already removed it from new-ish accounts? Is the Exodus gone too? I remember both would be no longer available in the WS but purchasable for Au. Does it show up in your main account? There should be just under 7 days left. Just enough to build one without rushing.

Just enough to build one without rushing. Very interesting reply from you, as I watched some old videos of the Ion, some commented that they even forgot that such a weapon exists. As my new account isn't backed up to Gamecentre, I would most likely doubt that the Ion would not be in the workshop in my old account ( from 2016). You may have noticed that my Workshop is at level 1, so there is no time to get 1 Ion. Regarding the Exodus, I assume that Pixonic will keep it in the workshop for a little longer, as it is still present in my Workshop. |

Hmmm...
What happened to "You can get anything for Ag in the Workshop"?

Perfect timing I guess. |

Uh, Ion sort of sucks with damage overtime. Burst it is good but the reload time means less damage over time. Maybe choosing better weapons might help you not lose 100% of the time.  |

Ion is a great weapon for burst damage, the drawback isn't the reload time or sustained damage keltron. The draw back is the lock-on time and how fast it sets off the dummy shields so half the damage gets absorbed. Granted the Scourge, Pulsar, and Skadi do better sustained damage... not all bots can run those to good effect because they can't take return fire. Notice, I didn't include Wasp as you did. As anyone running wasp has to be able to take sustained fire while unloading the clip AND defend themselves while waiting an eternity to re-load. Graphs and paper stats are all good, but as with anything in RL, everything is situational.

True, but DPS doesn't tell the whole story. There's no lost damage potential due to bad aim, and you never caught with 1 shot left before reload, for example. Not arguing that Ions are the Bee's Knees, just that they have specific advantages that help make up for lower raw DPS. |

Although what you guys say is true, there's a reason why very few people use them.

Although what you guys say is true, there's a reason why very few people use them. 2 words... Game Pace. The game used to be much slower with many matches going the full 15 minutes. Most matches now end in 6-10 Minutes average. The Zues (Ion) is a camper weapon great for pot-shot sniping at mid-range. Then there is the lock-on time which newer weapons don't have, as well as the drone stupid shield (with Zues release time guaranteed to set it off, when say a Dragoon wouldn't until several shots). Edit: Also, very interested as to where you got that DPS chart. I know for a fact Ion is over 5K dmg per shot at lvl1. Or does that include continuous fire? In such a case Ion isn't even comparable to those weapons as it is a 1 shot weapon and does not have a clip... yet being compared to clip weapons it out damages by tons in a mere few seconds of "charge" not "clip". A fair comparison would have been Shock-train, not cliped weapons. It also has Wasp in the comparison out damaging it which doesn't rely on it's direct damage entirely... It's a DOT weapon. |

I ran an Ion Leech on the test server a while ago. That thing was insane! With the enhanced damage from the ability, they deleted people!

A fair comparison would have been Shock-train, not cliped weapons. It also has Wasp in the comparison out damaging it which doesn't rely on it's direct damage entirely... It's a DOT weapon. I only showed the over time chart which includes build up/reload time. Burst/per shot yes, is big but the wait like on Trebs is bad. Pace is exactly why in today's game they aren't that great. I've never known of a match that is 15 minutes. It's always been 10 max since I've been playing. Although I've only been playing since July 2018. I'm not saying some people can do good with them, just that it wouldn't be my choice by far. Any high level weapon can do lots of damage. My advice though, is to start with informed decisions. Oh DOT is included in the chart. Also note unload times in chart. Another thing, if you miss with one shot it is bad for you with an ION. With something that shoots multiple projectiles missing a few isn't quite as bad imo.  |
