You have to have line of sight on a target when you start locking on, but if the target moves behind cover after you start locking on, you can keep locking onto them despite not being able to see them anymore. This doesn't work well when there's other tanks in the way though.

Well, yes — the "wallhack" targeting system was intentionally added, and this was confirmed by developers. But whether or not it's overpowered is another question. On one hand, Scorpion can lock on through walls, deals high damage, and doesn't give the enemy any obvious warning that they are being locked on to. On the other hand, the rockets have a very high minimum effective range, they fly slowly, and are fairly easy to dodge just by moving or standing next to a tall obstacle. It's not a "hacking privilege" if it fits into game balance.

Helios was just a legendary tier reward from Ultra containers, right? That's much easier to get than something like Rico Pulsar, which cost around $500 to reach, yet was relatively average from the beginning, and even got further nerfed with a recent update. Your logic doesn't make sense in this case.

Nah I think it definitely needs more bounces /s

Shuts off instantly as soon as you take any damage, and immediately turns back on when your health is back to full. You can find detailed info about it on the wiki.

Depends on how you use it. Some people are great at lining up shots and predicting moments when multiple enemies can be pierced.

Yeah, similar concept. Far less skill-dependent, but it also wouldn't be as powerful as hyperspace.

Would be more interesting if it was significantly reduced damage against single targets, and increased damage against groups, with more tanks meaning more damage.

So you're saying that Striker should have an augment that launches rockets vertically, right?

This is a problem. Devs aren't gonna add a new button for firing controls for one turret. It all has to be within tapping or holding spacebar. I suppose the way it could work is that holding space would drop a pad, and the pad would always be visible, so if you're holding space while already looking towards one of your pads, then it would lock onto the pad. I also think the "pads" should just be coordinates that your turret saves, otherwise enemies will just avoid driving over them.

It's the first time I hear of this strange bug, though perhaps someone else knows about it and will help you out. Does this happen every time you use Magnum? It would very helpful if you could record video of the bug and share it with us.

Hi, do you play on phone or PC?

So... Gauss? ?

Valid

It's not. @plusultera is asking when we will be able to buy Scorpion in garage for crystals. So far, the gun was only available to briefly play with in the Arms Race mode, and I'm guessing it won't be in the garage for at least another couple months. First it's released in early access, and full release happens after at least a month. Tesla early access lasted longer. As for exact dates — just keep an eye on the news.

This is true. I'd be willing to pay a lot more for interesting augments like Helios, Heal Shaft, Vampire Isida, Rubber Vulcan, compared to the typical off-the-shelf "legendary" status augments.

Yeah, and I'm definitely not this weird MAFIOZA121 guy in this even older pic ?

I did that before it was cool

This kind of two-player configuration is usually very frustrating for the "rider". The combination of your partner not going where you want him to go and constantly knocking your aim off with unexpected turns would be difficult to deal with. It only really works with well-coordinated friends in a call, which is a very niche audience.

Maybe. But either way, suggestions should be posted in I&S, though we don't accept ideas for reducing items' prices (which is what this idea is).

I think I suggested this exact thing back in like 2012 My own idea was just a platform tank that fits two light hulls on it and drives them to the enemy base. Transporter dies and the light hulls jump out. In hindsight the idea was pretty dumb, seeing as no one would wanna play as a taxi ? Anyway, this seems like a rather complex idea. Pretty cool, but I'd rather just work together with my team and everyone having their own tank.

If garage alts are outperforming the legendaries, why do you want to buy the latter? ?

It could work for a wacky event mode exclusive turret, similar to B0NK. The problem is that B0NK is super simple in that it just deals damage in a spot in front of it and has a swinging animation, whereas this thing would require development of a complex physical object. Might not be worth the effort.

Agree with the rest of your comment, but I'm pretty sure the only time we had protection issues was when Hammer and Vulcan came out, and the protective paints were added only months later. With every subsequent turret the protection module became available on the day of release, and immediately sold for crystals.
