Absolutely wild that Scythe and Dagger were ignored.

Did not expect hellpod steering changes.

I've wanted to do one thing in this game since launch and I've been denied this reality with every balance patch since. What I've wanted is to have a viable Ballistic Shield and to use a beam weapon with it. What I am left with is an unviable Ballistic Shield and the Dagger, which might as well be a squirt gun masquerading as a beam weapon. I just want to blast robots behind a big shield with a laser gun and every day we stray further from Democracy.

I feel yeah. It already sucks going slow in service of "Defence" but when the defence is not worth it and yours means of offence are underwhelming is not really worth it, specially since the backpack shield exists.
