3600 inf range

Yeah, I don’t usually play expecting it to crit, because it’s too random. But on the flip side I sometimes hit a speeder on about 50% health, not even expecting it to die, and suddenly ! It’s vaporised. It still always makes me go

 

Yeah if youre using flare, fire damage perks are a no brainer lol

 

Hes not talking about his perks. Talking about his blast canon dmg output

 

What do you mean 2 800+ dmg shots in 14 secs. I thought blast can reload was 11 or 12 secs

 

Thought I might post some more screen caps, since we’re discussing it. These are all from my last 4 games this morning.

These two are from the same game: crit kill on Speeder, and big damage on a Defender.



I didn’t find a crit on the game before that (though I didn’t land many shots in that game).

Previous game: first kill was a crit kill. Could have managed that with extra damage, but wasn’t hurt by not having it, in this case.


Game bafore that, I landed this one on a speeder, which felt great because he kept stunning me. When I finally managed to stun him back and then 1310! damage, I was totally like “Hah! Take that!”, and then another 600 from exploding cannon... he ran away after that (which was lucky, because I Nitroed into a wall and got stuck for ages )


So I’m guessing I average about 1 crit per game, but it depends a lot on how many shots I land. In the game when I got 2, I would have been top damage, even without the crits. In the game where I got zero, my team won, but I didn’t land many shots myself (mostly stuns). So how aggressive you are probably has a big impact on how ‘worth it’ the crit perks are.

 

I’ve often wondered about range perks on BC. I have quite a lot of them in my inventory, but the cost of switching all my perks to try them out, and then switching back... erghh! So expensive.

I’ve never really considered cooldown perks. Mainly because the amounts are so small, it hardly seems worth it. I guess if you wanted to drag an ExC inside you Flare for a second shot it would be worth it, but that’s quite specific.

I definetly recommend a decent crit perk if you can spare a slot. Even when my crit chance was only 4% with 2x uncommon perks, I still picked up quite a few crit kills. So even one epic perk would probably still be noticeable.

 

I think if you did that, it would be much more powerful than what you have. It’s a great idea. Being able to consistently land the second shot inside the burn is going to be much more powerful than a bit of extra damage on 1 shot.

I’m guessing you don’t have Bhurt 23 and 27 yet, so you’ll probably be replacing some of the lost burn damage with crew training soon(ish), anyway. If you’re happy with the damage, but it’s tight landing the second shot, then I say go for it.
