Helios really needed that buff. It was unplayable without it.

Wait a second....

I should be happy cause I own the augment, but I don´t understand at all why would you buff  such a strong augment.

Lmao, devs didn't forget Helios and made it stronger.

This is interesting... Wonder what that would look like 

[numericable 2,375]

Buff for Helios

[Apis_the_Professor 335]

If you listened to the players like YANUKFIN, LambSauce, TheCongoSpider, King.David, 2shots2kills, JustBlackWolf, stat.padder, fire_shoter and many others, this game could have much more interesting and balanced MM. 

These guys provide you with valuable feedback based on first hand experience because they actually play this game. Of course there are few moderators that stay true to themselves and give genuine feedback about the current state of the game as well, first that comes to mind is frederik123456. 

I am not going to talk about biased yes-man as they are extremely unfair and abuse special treatment that they have.

Wake up God damn, it’s become really annoying.

Living in delusion must feel awesome.

You can't see if the rocket doesn't deal damage if you haven't launched the rocket. 

What does that even mean?

Also why buff helios which is probably the strongest alt in the game right now?

Technically if you shoot at a wall you could cause major self-damage.

Only the player that dont turn the turret would be in such case, what I think is that they are trying to make that augment the godlike augment of the game, like we have the godlike drone (crisis) the godlike module(armadillo) and now this would  the augment everytime in the exotic tier. I think this because it's everytime in the UC since it came out...

Well, with my luck, I don't think I will get my hands on it before it gets officially added to the Garage.

I don't really understand the reason for making the Helios augment stronger than it already was... guess I will have to use 50% all the time from now on. Even though it won't probably help

I am confused as well. in the past we could at least counter against it using some obstacles. Now it could be even harder to fight back. I like the idea that each turrets and aug has its own features, good at some points but bad at others. Helios is already powerful in total damage, dps, fire range, now giving it the ability to hit the enemy without facing straight towards them is an awful idea. I am starting to lose my interest in the so-called balance. Perhaps I should always have a teammate who has this aug to play together all the time.

Plus I predict a nerf to helios(the same way that they nerf the RFM shaft), that is it will only be effective in close range, like Plasma-torch. the damage will be greatly reduced once the projectiles travels more than such range(though indeed it CAN travels very long like minus-field). 

Helios reminds me of blunderbuss about a year ago. Let us see how "normal" it will become in the future.

[2shots2kills 2,366]

Helios buffed? Are you planning to put it in the next Tanki Fund or what? Because there must be a reason behind this, you can't be that insane. 

 

Also Pulsar nerfed, that thing is so useless that I never see it around, alright. 

 

How about you buff base Ricochet that has NO range and it is closer to a peashooter at this point? Oh right, we gotta sell Helios first.

[Mr.Spark 240]

I should have bought ricochet module mk7 in Tanki birthday sale…

I really regret that I didn’t…

Melee range turret doesn’t work at all because Helios can kill me easily before I approach them.

I am made to leave such battle because I can’t change equipment to long range turret because of recent update. (Takes 15 mins :/)

Did they really buff the most Overpowered, and current most broken augment in the game

Hits extra hard that I don't have that augment

Remove the dev

[NikmanGT 4,362]

Here we go....

[yellowghetto 3,206]

Tanki you should add an Augment called Meteor Shower for Scorpion. Locks on instantly and the splash damage is the same as Magnum and launches a salvo of rockets until the locked on enemy dies. Also if there are remaining missiles, they ricochet only once from the floor, back up into the air and target the next closest enemy. It’s balanced I swear.

Unplayable?? They use that augment to reduce my health by 3/4. 
Reload time is less also, cant even hide now with this change

[Compasser 41]

Actually I myself think adding a new feature is good, but there should be some nerf to weak it in other ways, like i said, the fire range. Helios is useful because its total damage could be dealt in 1-2 seconds, so directly reduce the damage is not a good idea but we could force the users to fight close to the enemies.  Then the ability to bounce once is really welcomed.

Also let me reminds the Plasma Turbo Accelerator. Lmao it is a clown compared to helios
