Understanding how to use the kla grenade imo is mega important. I forced myself to use that exclusively when I first started playing raider and my aim with it has gotten decent. It shuts down mid range attackers pretty well if you can land a shot or two. Mid range seems to be the trouble zone for raider and can lead to most headaches at least in my experience. Land a grenade or hit some splash damage and it makes the other player have to choose getting in close - YES please - or turning tail pipe and run... Seems like a good time to use that speed burst and bury some rounds in that pipe. Reflak good weapon, much more forgiving than t32 or eoc not sure why it isn't getting love. I see benefits of the other weapons but you've got to nail those shots or else....

Yeah we need to talk more about the Loc_TR vs. Kopra callout match. KirkGoneWild and I volunteer to be terrible streaming commentators. Kirk doesn't know he's volunteered yet.

 

Someone set down a date and time - callout matches are a goddamn entertainment goldmine!

T32 is technically better than reflak if you want to focus on close quarters, it fits the burst role (boost-dodge-shoot, repeat) better even if it's less forgiving than reflak.

It's not that hard to land T32 shots, the part that make even some top raiders say that reflak is better overall is the abysmal damage even at midrange (15 damage charged at the falloff range). You HAVE to get close, some people think the tradeoff is not worth it. I've seen people say that even up close the higher dps of reflak makes it superior, you have to track more though and it leaves you open to take damage more often.

T32 could definitely get a bit of balance love in the form of a tighter spread and farther falloff point, even if buffs are applied only to the charged shot.

Edit: Oops, didn't see the last reply date, sorry for the necro :/

As an avid advocate for the Bolt for awhile, I've been giving RE-Flak another try recently after playing a lot of miniflak Vanguard, and, I agree now, it just feels like the better weapon in most situations. I'm starting to like that weird in-between sustain-and-burst territory that the miniflak and reflak find themselves in.

TBH the main advantage of the t32 is that if you're using it correctly, it's almost impossible to overheat.

True and I see the benefit ie the POWER muahahahaha! Of it but like I said you miss just 1 shot in the middle of a duel and you'll be hurting to come out alive. Some people are deadly with it and don't miss, others like myself will miss a shot and be hard pressed to bounce back which is why I like reflak.

Now if I can just learn how to land impossible re-flak trick shots :tongue:
The ricochet thing is something I rarely bother with and usually forget about. Anyone here actually gud with that mechanic?
