2142 Best Weapons: Engineer

Finally got to check out the anti-air rocket thingie the other day, so here comes another installment of 2142 Best Weapons.


The big tank-gun thing
Better than the default, but nothing totally amazing. It's main utility is in not having to guide your shot, so you can pop up, fire, and get back in cover fast. It does a bit more damage than the default rocket, for instance if you shoot a tank in the ass it will blow up immediately, instead of giving the crew a few seconds to bail out and rob you of your kill.
Overall, a solid upgrade. Worth taking.

The Anti-Air rocket launcher thing
Complete and utter shite. I would have been so pissed if I wasted an unlock on this turdfest.

Up side: it's fire and forget, and seems to be fairly accurate. You get tone, shoot your rocket, and that's it.

Down side: it does almost no damage. You'd be better off spitting at your foe. I put two rockets into a hovering aircraft and took off maybe 25% of it's health. And of course you only get two rockets per clip, and it takes 100 years to reload. So to actually destroy anything you'd need to find something that was already badly injured, or come across a mentally retarded pilot who'd wait around for the ten minutes it would take to blow up his plane with your rubber-band shooter.
CRAP! stay away!~
