    Is it a good combo to use both sniper canon and blast canon..?

    Ship is Mk5 with snipe, blast, swift torpedo, berta and railgun..

    I got this doubt bcz there is a clash in training tree of bhurt and we cannot use each of the weapon to its at most potential if we are using them both..

    I am using snipe for the excellent critic damage and range, while blast provides me with tons of normal damage.. I kind of mastered blast canon like I can jst know the projectile speed every time I hit it..

    Waiting for suggestions.. :D

    Hey, if it works for you, its okay! However you have to accept the fact that you'll never be able to use both of them at their full potential.

    It is really up to you. No, you will not unleash the full potential of either weapon. But these are 2 of the top weapons in the game, even not at their full potential. I've seen lots of players using this combo to good effect.

    I've tried it and I don't love it as a Speeder/Enforcer. Mainly because I have less weapons.

    You might be able to be slightly stronger overall with only one of them (or doubling up on the same one :) ), but having both does provide versatility. Your other weapons provide area damage (Berta and Swift), range (Swift and Railgun), and close-range power (Swift). So you could really use double of either effectively, although I'd probably lean towards the sniper since you don't have fire weapons.

    If you have it, you might also consider swapping the sniper for a Flare Gun. This will provide bonus damage to your Blast Cannon, Heal Blocking and bonus stars (fire boost).

    But your setup is perfectly viable and only change it if you want to and if you are blessed with other options.

    Sniper all day. Use sniper cannon. Blast is good too but you have to ditch sniper for it too many conflicting talents. Try sniper sniper swift railgun and firebomb( op weapon set) or you can swap railgun for EC or missiles.

    Which of sniper/blast or which out of all your weapons?

    I wouldn't swap sniper or blast for a standard mortar. I'd replace the Berta or Railgun if you must.

    Keep in mind the future of the bay.

    More players complain and ask developers for Sniper nerfs than any other weapon.
    So if I were betting. Sniper will be nerfed.

    70 percent chance of this.

    Plan accordingly.

    Don’t... Idk you’re level but when you start entering the +3000 and mk6 you’d wish you had a explosive cannon instead of the blast.
    Explo is becoming the new snipper in +3500... thanks to the great balancing of the game. It was overpowered and is still overpowered.

    Am a Mk5 with around 2k infamy.. I still have no plans on developing an Explosive canon.. But am eager to know about it's potential.. I only know that it's projectile speed is slower than the blast canon and it provides u with area damage than single target..

    Basically, excannons become viable after you hit the training after the "+1% to all weapons" in the Bhurt tree. They have better range than blast cannons, albeit with a higher cooldown.

    The range got nerfed it has the same range as blast. Only difference is splash damage. Bc is still way easier to use.

    No EC and BC both have same range(basic i.e 22 after talents 24.2) with better projectile speed on blast.
    In 40 secs you can shoot blast 3 times while EC just 2( considering global cool down).

    As a shooter you are faced with the touch decision of deciding what major cannon to focus on. Sniper cannon does awesome damage but the crit chance isn’t always there. In the end, explosive cannon does the most damage.

    If you fully upgrade ex cannon, and add on these perks

    Fire increase damage perk x2
    Crit chance perk
    20% extra crit damage

    With a perfect shot with this setup, you can get up to and pass 4000 damage by critting a burning target.

    After that

    You must choose one mortar

    One heavy weapon, torpedo, mine, missile launcher, tri torp

    Definelty get a railgun

    And maybe even add on a grenade

    You can also decide on whether you want to get a fire damage weapon or not

    This is how shooter is supposed to be setup
    Obviously it isn’t and I’m glad it’s not because shooters in this game do a better job with cannons and not mortars.

    And don’t forget, double of the same weapon is awesome!
