Scrap my 5 Big Bethas?

Like, At MK5, I'd like to use fire bomb, big torpedo, rail gun, sniper cannon.
Currently, using Cannon, sniper cannon, big torpedo, fire bomb. Current Infamy 1450.

If using all weapons is optimal, then sniper cannon, grenade launcher, long range mortar, big torpedo, rail gun at MK5 will be good?

 

It's really hard to say without knowing your playstyle, comfort levels with each gun, and level of the actual weapon. But generally, I like the idea of two longer range mortar-type weapons and three cannon-type weapons for a balance. Others like 3-longer and 2-shorter. That's all personal preference. I think the current meta of the game sees mortors being super popular and effective.

For example, I am using a level 30 rare sniper cannon, level 30 rare blast cannon, level 30 rare regular cannon...and then a level 30 rare fire bomb and level 10 epic big torpedo.

I don't love the regular cannon because I'm not often ready to take advantage of the quick reload, but my best other 1-point options (epic mine or epic long range mortar) don't do enough damage to use them.

If I wanted to add another 2-point weapon (e.g., a big berta) instead, I would need to remove the regular cannon AND another cannon to make room. To me, that leaves me exposed for end-of-battle scenarios where I'm up close with a speeder or something similar.

 

Yeah i was trying to fulfil my tasks to get my crates so i had to load out that way. Point damage weapons aren't much fun, but it's not always like that last game, get me in an open space & receive damage.

 

Personally I think you'd be nuts to scrap BBs - they're awesome. I've got a rare t3 and regularly do 700+ per shot. But if you are going to scrap I'd recommend evolving to t2/t3 then scrapping for the extra stuff

 

I'd scrap the long range over the beta. I think you'll find the Berta is more viable as you move further up the infamy ladder.
Long range mortar is just a cheese weapon tbh...

 

Did you guys just write down "Big Bertha"? @Joeyaa will be triggered

 

I usually do but "bethas" has me rolling laughing xD

 

Dude.. I wish I had that many rare Big Bertas!

 

Scrap all ur mortars, they are useless at mk5-6 nobody uses them

 

Not true. Bittersteel uses a Big Berta and is arguably the best shooter on the bay (skillwise due to only rare weapons). 3 players in the top 50 in the world are currently using the Berta too. It is a VERY good mortar if you learn how far to preaim with it.

 

Good players using it doesn't make it good. In my opinion there are way better options. Fire bomb and napalm at least gives bonus to other weapons with the right setup. Between the cooldown, dps and chance of hit I still think it's a waste of 2 slot points and I wouldn't use even if was 1 point. Just my opinion tho.

 

I'm not saying it makes it good. I'm saying it makes it viable. You said mortars are not used mk 5 - 6 which is just untrue.

I get that you don't think they're good, and I respect your entitlement to that opinion. I can also see why you would feel that way, and I agree on some aspects.
But I (as a berta user myself) could never see me swapping back to a firebomb. The devastation I can cause with one rotation of my weapons is just invaluable to me.

 

I'm in a mk5 & i like using Big Bertha & i especially like glow sticks because they are bright & nice to look at. Lmao
Honestly, who gives a crap what players use, just as long as it works for you & your having fun.
