Not good.  It's horribly slow when its special ability isn't active, the ability eats through fuel very fast, and it also has quite low armor for a heavy.  The low armor wouldn't be a problem if it could move properly, but it can't.  Wait for it to be buffed before you pick it up, unless you happen to already have everything else (that's why I got it).

It's nothing special. Just another gimmick.

I'd wait for it to get some adjustments. I'm used to using a slow mech like the Rocketeer, but right now the G2 Raider feels like walking in sludge and the reload times of its weapons are super slow.

I am toppin charts and poppin tarts with it.  It's just a brawler with less effective range but more damage in that range and an ability that's great for playing corners.

Just like the G2 assault, wait a little bit for the next update and it'll likely be better.

It's a POS, frankly. I bought it figuring people were exaggerating, but no it's pretty much a complete lemon.

Effective? No.
Fun? Yes.

For it to be fun, though, you need fuel converters and power surgers. Killing a mech then charging down A-class at ridiculous speeds never gets old, I wish I'd recorded some of the reactions.

It is a Wreckage god. Just don't boost while using your ability and you'll do fine. It's like a short range Raider with a lotttt of health. I just wish you could switch the primary to the EOC.

I really really really despise the fact that they increased the cooldown on it's ability

I was sort of happy with the g2 raider, since fuel converter could drastically increase the duration of my ability. Now with the increased cooldown, I'm not anymore.

Raider 1 was real good and powerful, i didn't use a t-32 bolt , i loved a reflack-35 it was excellent, but g2 raider is very slow and i dont understood what is it for, especcially after when i lost face to face battle with assault in close corridor, despite i had advantage on helth he killed me. Slow movement , slow reloading, can't pick other weapons. i'm disappointed

Search and Destroy means a more mobile Brawler with old Raider's burst damage, better used when defending something.
Or wiping out techs with massive burst damage and burst speed.

Edited by Stingz, May 19 2014 - 06:54 AM.

Running directly to/from sniper fire means you'll die tired. Taking cover gives (Ke-)Sabot time to reload.
Someone elses data of Hawken gear/mechs | and another one

I haven't seen anyone use it past the first week it was released. Most users that have it said it was worthless at this time due to the molasses movement, really.

If they improved the movement or health... or even scrap the T-32.... for double reflack-35's, that would be amazing.

Double reflak would be awful and extremely boring.

I think we have two separate ideas of amazing. Mine isn't where you overheat in 3 seconds while doing minimal damage to the target.

Yeah, but am I mistaken or is it also slower than a brawler?

And it must do better than this to defeat the good ole' fashion the Brawler has.XD
