What a useless gun, am I the only one that expected more umph to this meaty looking gun? Every time I picked it up it always delivered unsatisfactory results. I feel like it deserves a buff especially for the charged shot.
I think I must be using it wrong because its alternate fire mode which puts plasma fire everywhere seemed to do 0 DMG to players
That is a known bug with the weapon about the alt fire doing zero damage, but even the normal shots feel weak for what the weapon is. I started to get used to it a bit and got a few kills but it doesn’t feel like it is viable to stick with.
It’s a known issue according to the patch notes. I love the weapon feels great on groups and taking out shields.

I bet it’d rock in games like Territories/Strongholds and King of the Hill. Lob the charge-up shot into the center and watch people either die or scramble for cover abandoning control over the zone.
The gun has a lot of potential. Hopefully it gets a re-balancing before launch because the charged shot could be so much fun to use.

Yes if it worked well that would be a great use for it!

Yes it does have potential that’s for sure!

Its a 2-3 burst kill but okay. Yeah the battery will go pretty fast if you’re getting kills left and right but it’s literally an explosive utility weapon, its not supposed to be a reskinned rocket launcher y’know?
And its not hard to aim at someones feet.
Ravager is literally the easiest gun in this tech preview to use, its just the cool secondary fire mode is bugged and deals no damage.
They needs to balance it more. The gun should be aimed for casual use when balancing.

I just haven’t had the same experience with it. I don’t expect it to be like the rocket launcher, it’s not a power weapon. The issue I was having was if it wasn’t a direct body hit it wouldn’t register damage. Not just the alt-fire mode, the regular shots wouldn’t do much if anything when I was hitting feet/ground under them, so I assumed that was how it operated since I didn’t see anything other than alt-fire issues in the bug notes. If it was supposed to deal splash damage I certainly missed out on that.
I do think once things are working properly it will definitely have its uses for sure, a little crowd control in games like King of the Hill would be welcomed.

The alt fire does do damage. It’s just so little that you can just walk out of it without an issue
I always thought it was fine. There is next to no splash damage, yes, but you can kill in less than two bursts if you land all your shots.
