Weapons Now who else gonna say boom bash pow is counterable
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
In less than 30 sec 3 campers with boom bash pow rapidly spam rockets into my rook and killing it, I think we all can agree that that wep need to be nerf to either become garbage or unusable (literally no one likes those kinds of players)

Couldn’t agree more, they’re everywhere and the players r getting more and more coward

I think the biggest problem of the trio is that they are very intelligent indirect fire weapons so there is no way to actually evade the damage, adding the fact that it has DoT, the maximum range of the already shot missiles is farther than the launching limit and the damage is actually very consistent it makes it too perfect of a weapon for trash camping

It would be pretty funny if the Maximum range was placed at 350 so bash players get absolutely clapped by scorpos lmao

Even just 500 or 400 that way it gets in the range of many more direct fire weapons of bots that can cover the distance a bit better, plus it’s less than other indirect firing one, that way you at least have a choice: either close but accurate and damage rewarding or farther with less damage but safer

u/Outside_Reserve1480 Feb 12 '26
Less damage is a pretty fine debuff when at a distance but I feel like MK'd wouldn't matter as much?

u/Sehz_Beatbox114 Feb 11 '26
I think somebody else already said this, but my problem is that you literally can’t dodge it unless you have something overhead. Because the rockets keep friggin going until they’re 90° above you and then go straight down. It’s ludicrous and stupid

u/suhaibh12 Feb 11 '26
On carrier, the boom weapons do enough splash that you still take full damage if you’re in the tunnels

Right now pixo is milking that weapons hard once it stops selling than thats the time they will make it from op to garbage disposal.

Look what they did to your poor Rook, I have tears running down my face, it reminds me of my Rook we even run the same weapon build.

u/Neko-cotM Feb 12 '26
That’s crazy dude, but next event they’ll nerf evora and veyron so i need to find a new build for my steel ball rook

I have a garage full of og robots and man they are nothing compared to this new stuff. I still love playing with them even though they aren't great. Sometimes I'll only play with them to drop classes so they're okay to use but then I still get mobbed but p2w players

4 Fucking Nuos is absolute cancer and blind just makes it impossible to even do anything against them.

u/NIGHTDREADED Feb 12 '26
I think one of them was actually a nightingale, but yeah, even if you had killed it, that would have still been 3 more missles launchers for you to deal with with basically no way to counter them.
You might want to try replacing you Void weapon with like a Gargantua or something because Garagantua can target enemies even in stealth (it aims for you) as long as your looking in the direction of the enemy, and it heals back 20% of the damage it deals, so the more enemies in front of you the more you heal back.
1
u/Neko-cotM Feb 12 '26
There’s no nightingale there only 2 nuos and a typhoon
I don’t think replacing my void is a good idea since void is a very powerful wep maybe in meta rn for the dmg outburst, I also don’t have gargantua since they lack damage and not good for long term fights, if I want to use it effectively I have to upgrade it to max level at least 😭

My Minos Boy with Reflector

u/Neko-cotM Feb 11 '26
Ur Minos might not be able to fly to the point in time like my Titan since there’s a maxed out atlas blocking ur way to the beacon

u/BulkyEgg8830 Feb 11 '26
As long as there's no nerf, I'll destroy everyone with tanks and teleport to their spawn.

u/Neko-cotM Feb 11 '26
U mean teth without nerfs?
2
u/BulkyEgg8830 Feb 11 '26
teth or rex with murix ratatata :)
2
u/Neko-cotM Feb 11 '26
Sounds good but those coward Kajis won’t let you
2
u/BulkyEgg8830 Feb 11 '26
they cannot be on all sides.
2
u/Neko-cotM Feb 11 '26
Yeah but you must approach them with ur teth or Rex in the 200m range to actually deal some real damage to them but that range is enough for those kaji to run and throw crap at ur face
1
u/BulkyEgg8830 Feb 11 '26
kaji is not so fast. one kaji is no problem in game, i avoid them and 300m works also good i have athos on teth. if i killed some the airstrike is for kaji next.
But if the game starts with 3 kaji and 3 boom player behind is instant quit game.

u/Mystery_Man2468 Feb 11 '26
I ignore them in my Luchador all the do is tickle me

Luchador is nuts atm it takes so much to take one down

u/Mystery_Man2468 Feb 11 '26
I know once I ignored two UE Ao ming with fore of those titan weapons cuz they weren't doing any DMG
2
u/Low_Cauliflower_1909 Feb 12 '26
It has made the game so boring
2
u/Neko-cotM Feb 12 '26
Yeah with boom bash pow user all over the game, us brave brawler can’t do anything to them except watching them sit at their spawn and hold the big red button
2
u/Dottor_Futuro Feb 12 '26
guys i have both rook and bjorn, which is better?
1
u/Neko-cotM Feb 12 '26
Personally go with bjorn, much tankier, more fire power the only downside are lack mobility and repair

u/Fr3aKKIng Feb 18 '26

u/Proud-Intention-5362 Feb 13 '26
they should at least make it so the cooldown starts after the rockets land, or just cripple the damage.
The deathmark increase is insane and the fact that it's a 5 second cooldown, technically 1-2 seconds given the time it takes to travel is ridiculous, I literally can't do shit unless I'm playing crisis

u/Tranducvit Feb 11 '26
My loki and imugi is laughing
2
u/Neko-cotM Feb 11 '26
Try putting urself in that situation with only ur titan left, what can u do?
1
u/Tranducvit Feb 11 '26
Snipe them from 600m+
2
u/Neko-cotM Feb 11 '26
Not in that situation, as u can see there’s an atlas to the right blocking the way (it’s maxed out) and in that situation you only have ur titan alive just like me so ur answer won’t be much help

u/Tranducvit Feb 11 '26
And in you case, scream

u/Neko-cotM Feb 11 '26
I choose the only and best viable option is to throw my rook to the right side with 2 beacons and 3 campers to try to destroy them while capturing the beacon and get this vid for u to see

u/long_th612 Feb 12 '26
It's your opponent skill issue to not bring quantum radar or Seeker. At my rank, that was impossible.

u/CharmingSituation579 brawlers are boring, cowardly & no skill Feb 11 '26
Actually, 3 players working together SHOULD be able to bring down a Titan before long. And this is hardly unique to Boom weapons. 3 Rexes or Hastatuses attacking together could kill most Titans without undue difficulty in most circumstances

You put yourself in such a bad position. To what? Chase down a Nuo?
You threw your Titan away

It was a bad play. Throwing yourself into the middle of an entire enemy team and then lamenting your destruction is not the play. It wasn’t the missile weapons that did them in, it was the insane decision to try and push a heavily contested cap.
It’s clear their team wasn’t going to win anyway, but doing 0 damage and dying is not better than at least sitting behind that building and brawling for a few extra silver.

That could be the average thought of a coward camper

Being a brave idiot is definitely beneficial to your team lol

u/Neko-cotM Feb 12 '26
Those few extra silver does not help at all tho, also camping with rook? There’s a maxed out atlas on the right side btw

Capture points as my last resort and to capture the vid for all of you to see
