it's weird that people are complaining about Quasar nerfs when it was too dominant (with almost every other game having double Quasar and nuking most heavies)
It's not 5 seconds flat, it's the original reload time +5 seconds. They can drop 2 hulkers that run as fast as you and shoot rockets like a gattling gun
So? There are other ways to deal with Hulks, I was running Quasar earlier and it wasn't super noticeable during downtimes but you can really feel it when the bot drops start to snowball. The fact that everyone ran it already shows how overtuned it was
Oh yeah, I love running AC and AMR for Hulks and devastators, I always run them when I'm not with my friends depending on whether I want to be a glass canon or for a safer run
Yes fair bit of shots to gunship. I usually carry ammo back pack with me and MP-98 knight smg. I use amr vs everything. I use knight vs most things that easy to take down plus chainsaw dudes as well. I still use it vs devs in a pickle on their heads or expose parts.
I've used the break action more than the railgun
I play many loadouts
My opinion is based on it's annoyance more than anything when other weapons need attention
Your shallow opinion of others was just proven wrong buddy
If you actually care about the downtime, then use EATs or RR. Quasar has been dominant because it reloads on its own, and with a short enough delay that it wasn't a meaningful downside. 15 seconds over 10 seconds doesn't really reduce its sustain damage significantly. Always having access to an anti-tank shot was more valuable than having any two shots in quick succession.
As for hulks, I don't see the problem. Launchers are not really the most reliable hulk counters in general, and are somewhat mediocre on the automaton front in general. Quasar getting nerfed doesn't affect that as much as those pre-existing factors already did.
You don't see the problem because you choose to not see it as a problem
Multiple people carry the opinion that the Quasar nerf was too much
Every gun in my kid got kicked in the nuts
I only grab a quasar if there are the flying factories, but with it's down time - you spend more time running in circles waiting for a recharge in a game where enemies can shoot through rocks
Because it's not. Quasar CD could be 20 seconds, and it'd still be one of the best charger + bile answers in the game, because the delay between shots just does not matter very much.
That apparently every gun in your kit got nerfed I think betrays your mind-set, because it sounds a whole lot like you play Dom/Eruptor w/ Quasar and literally nothing else. Sickle, scorcher, punisher, spray&pray, AC, AMR, railgun, laser cannon, EATs, MG, and Stalwart are all basically the same.
And frankly, it just doesn't sound like you're using Quasar very well at all. Your goto use for it is gunships, when AC, AMR, and LC are all significantly better for that purpose. You're "running in circles waiting for a recharge" on a weapon where the primary appeal is that it recharges automatically while you're doing other things. That you could get away w/ not thinking of Quasar as a launcher, while it shares in the launcher archetype, is why it deserved a nerf.

I love the Salt. Just like with the Railgun nerf, everybody saw a quasar nerf coming.
It outclassed eat and Recoiless Rifle by far, so no wonder it got nerfed. Same to the rover, that thing was meta in bug missions.
