Redundant Repair Box

Hello fellow fleeters!
As a predominant fixer user, one of my main concerns is the lack of usage of the amazing repair box (particularly in nightmare league). In order to bring its true powerful effects into play, I think it would be reasonable to have critical heal perks for the box - just like the bloody sniper cannon. That way, nightmare fixers may deviate from using the typical double pulse + bolt or pulse + double bolt setups.
Personally, repair box is my favourite green weapon but it's simply underpowered; especially with a max critiical hit percentage of only 15% through training, which also comes at a significant cost to your other fixer weapons. Thoughts?

 

Make it last infinitely like in the old days!

 

Ooooh that would be nice too

 

Main problem is not healing power,but it's your teammates being scared of repair boxes :/

 

Hahahahah a lot of the time they can't be bothered because they know they lack heals.

 

I hate repair box because mines can be hidden in it, really annoying.

 

All the more reason to give it a buff!

 

Decrease item size but radius stay the same. That way mines can't hide

 

I do think they could persist for a bit longer. I frequently go back to where I saw a Fixer ‘recently’ drop some, only to see them pop out of existence right before I get there.

Aside from that, I really like repair boxes. Quite a lot of my worst games, start with me taking a big hit, and then progressively go from bad to worse, as I try to stay still long enough for the Fixer to heal me with Pulse or Bolt. Staying still for too long with a low hp Speeder usually doesn’t end well.

Boxes are great, as I can just blast through them without stopping. I’d really like to see them getting more use (buff?).

 

Maybe not to the point that mines cannot be hidden in boxes at all; being able to hide mines in boxes is one of the (in my opinion) funny little quirks in the game. I think decreasing the size of repair boxes, but only slightly would be better. So this way, mines can still hide in boxes but if you look carefully you can see a portion of the mine peeking out.


2 seconds later someone complains that mines are not op, blah blah blah, and demands that mines be left untouched :/

 

I’ve never (yet) found a mine in a box. Although I have watched a Fixer throw one on top on an enemy mine (amoung other perilous locations).

 

Shorten cooldown and make them bigger

 

I agree that repair box need buff. Give it a 10% or 15% build-in crit. Also give it the ability to remove 3-4 seconds of fire.It's a weak item to start with. It's current have no other perks with it like many other items do. It can't heal a stun teammate and lost 30% of it healing power on flare fire.

Devs nerfed pulse to promote tape. They nerfed box to promote bolt when it came out.
