Ah yes.. the wasp. the vehicle that ruined warzone

Come back after a month or so… and I instantly remember how broken warzone is now… all it takes is one team to spam wasps and you lost…
and obviously people are going to say… “but its weak… shoot it with a couple br shots”… except… it doesn’t take a couple br shots… if your team all shoots it… then yes… its easy to kill… but if your team does completely nothing and there are 6+ wasps… then it becomes overpowered for a req level 3 item

Not sure what u’re speaking of. I’m playing wz solo quite frequently lately and the only scenario where they are a little op is when capturing the Spire. And even then, you can counter it with railguns and wasps of your own. On arc and darkstar they’re pretty much useless.
If you’re up against a team while u play with randoms, you will lose anyways, the wasps don’t make a difference.

Blood of Suban can take one down easily enough or Talon of the Lost if you have trouble aiming with the Railgun. And any of the higher end Warthogs can go toe-to-toe with a Wasp and win if the gunner and driver are decent.

Saying ‘Just join a fireteam’ is not a solution… they need to make randoms vs randoms and fireteams vs fireteams or some sort of balance
Its almost been a year since its been out… most of my friends barely play it anymore

Just another problem that teams give randoms

Why just people cannot admitted this is happening.

Haven’t enjoyed Warzone since WZFF came out. Although I’ve been playing Doom and Forza lately, when I find the time to even play video games anymore, that is.

teams using reqs will beat teams that dont. you would be just as screwed if they pulled out 6 ghosts. wasp isnt broken

I’m more annoyed at how hard they are to get. I’ve unlocked everything and I get phaetons 4-5 times as often. I can’t remember when I last got one.

Use your reqs to fight them. A whiplash will blow them up easy peasy. When i see a phaeton destroying my whole team i get out a spartan laser to either scare it off or destroy it out right.

Pull out the trusty Rockethog, and lock on to those punks. If your gunner is competent, they should drop like flies.

I will admit…the wasp is kinda lame. It does too much for a level 3 req. Seriously, why would you EVER call out a ghost instead of a wasp in a pvp situation? It’s just annoying to see an aerial vehicle as early as req 3. Sometimes they are out VERY early, like when most of the team still has pistols out.

Many people are offering counters that are MORE costly then the thing to counter is. That’s broken in of itself.

So let me see if I have this correctly, the counter to the wasp is, coordinated team-shooting with BR’s (multiple people focusing one guy to bring him down, and if he knows what he’s doing evasively good luck on that end, you’ll just have a bunch of people aiming in the air getting taken out by people on the ground.) OR wait and call in starting at req level 4 weapons to kill it.

Stupidly, the best counter I’ve really seen to the wasp EARLY on is another wasp.

Or a plasma pistol. The wasp has no evade, and at 3 they won’t have wheelman yet to reduce its effectiveness.

Uhm… You wanna read that again?

Yeah, I’m usually the guy doing that xD but no one else seems to pull them

The new Hunter Cannons have tracking rounds so problem solved… :confused:

A Fleet of wasps is more or less unstoppable, yes, but so is a fleet of ONI Hogs or Ghost Ultras. REQ Coordination with teammates is what makes the Wasp so great.
Like people have said, they really are quite squishy. For killing one or two wasps, one Railgun shot after their shields are down will kill it.

A fleet of anything is lethal. That’s what makes coordinated armory rushes so strong. Even with just pistols, more firepower triumphs.

I didn’t say just join a fireteam. Your ‘solution’ isn’t a proper solution either, because h5 has not the population to do that. I remember h3 had that once, and even with h3’s population back then it took forever to find a match.
