The reaper's ability is useful for the hawkins RPR and am-sar but I'm not sure about that on the slug. Since the slug has ALMOST perfect accuracy, the ability is useless for me. I don't need the ability for the Slug since you can scope in for better accuracy ( I think ). I know its useful for the RPR and am-sar, but not for the slug(I'm a slug user soooo yeah...). I think they should change the ability to something else.

It works for the KE Sabot in unscoped cqc. Remotely useful given the Sabot's random spread when firing unscoped. So then you can truly cqc sniper 360noscope with perfect accuracy. I kind of like the ability.

Like Silverfire said before me, with Slug Reaper it's only useful in cqc to truly pwn scrubs with 360noscopes and swag.

There's already a good thread regarding this topic, there are some really good suggestions.

Change reaper ability to a speed shift, add shotguns, add rockets, and halve the hp. It's unplayable.

I think the ability needs something added. I feel like it's not necessarily weak, but it's at a state where adding an additional function would put it on par with other mechs. In addition to increasing accuracy, have it also deal full scoped damage. Maybe a duration or cooldown tweak in addition if this is too much but I think this would be the easiest way to make the ability work with each weapon which in my opinion is the biggest issue.

I could get behind a full scope damage plus a piercing shield/mech function added to ability, scope damage is increased too slightly, remove accuracy buff. 

 

But I like accuracy buff.  It allows for wicked weapon glitch combos.  Like a 100% accurate zero spread Flak.

On Twitch, Xacius suggested replacing the Reaper's ability with a toggle. Toggle on for increased accuracy and heat generation with all weapons; toggle off for default accuracy and heat generation. I'm not convinced that the flexibility this option offers competes with the buffs offered by other mechs, however I've added it for discussion to my Reaper Special Ability thread linked above (thanks Erzunterweltler).

I'd prefer if the Reaper actually lives up to it's name and give it an ability that reaps a mech's soul so that when you kill them with the ability on, it turns them into a Zombie Fred and it fights for your team until it dies.

I always thought the reaper was wack until I played against Crafty's kamikaze-reaper.  He made it look fun and usable.  It is fun and useable as is.

Come on Crafty, you have been officially called out on your lies. Your online reputation is at stake here, this is just like an old school street race running for pink slips. Its run what you brung and hope its enough. Put up or shut the fuzzy bunny up.
