ok, isnt ricochet useless long range tho?

It depends. Since the shells are long range, you can ricochet at any distance. On a map with many vertical walls or surfaces, you can hit medium range targets that are hiding behind walls. On a map like Brest, it's possible to hit people hiding behind the wall at the top of the base. Like this:

also is there crit hits for missiles and what do you mean powercreeps?

Missiles don't have critical shots, only shells. By powercreeps, I mean Uranium Shells is a direct upgrade from Explosive Shells. It has the advantages of Explosive Shells plus more benefits, and none of the downsides of Explosive Shells.

Uranium Shells has 2 main features : shells can ricochet and also deal splash damage.

Shells can ricochet up to 3 times. They deal splash damage (with the same explosion radius as Thunder). Every 3rd shot is guaranteed to be critical.

It is a direct upgrade from stock. It directly powercreeps Explosive Shells (splash damage shell garage aug) as well.

I personally love using it and getting those frequent crit shots and bounce kills.

you don't use scorpion. or have no idea how to use it.

The Big Three for Scorpion are
Adrenaline, Swarm, Uranium shells. use whatever you like they're all in the same power tier. 

[Me0w_XP 523]

Bounce shots are sort of niche in general, but they can come in handy in certain little scenarios. Take this one, where I was able to take a shot from behind cover without exposing myself. Not only was I able to make the kill from behind cover, I also took the shot faster than I would have if I had to drive forward and aim straight at the Ares.

what about these new ones? i dont know what they do but they seem pretty good

incendiary and armor piercing shells i think are also really good because right now if the enemy has a repair kit they can time it right and survive the rockets on double armor if you have boosted damage or without double armor if you dont have boosted damage. but with incendiary it applies damage after each rocket hits making it hard to time the repair kit and leading to the enemy being always killed. same thing for armor piercing.

If you don't like it, that's OK! Bounced shots aren't its only features though- it has a crit shot every 3 shots and 12m splash damage. It's a direct upgrade, so you won't lose anything by equipping it if you have nothing else to use.

They are not out yet. They'll be added once the Arcade event is over. ^.^ From what I can tell, Javelin is Swarm on steroids- better rocket movement and speed at the cost of rocket firepower (only 4 rockets). Tornado gives you more rockets which have splash damage; in return, your shell/arcade firerate is reduced.

yeah i know, i am using it, splash damage is really good and i often kill 2 enemies with one shot because the arcade mode deals so much damage. i once saw a guy with thunder crit every 3 shots and he had 50/10 but i am not able to obtain these kinds of stats even with this augment on scorpion

javelin should be quite good then. not sure about tornado because i think this weapon is mostly about arcade mode and i dont really like the lock in mode

The drawbacks seem way too much for my liking. Pulsar is definitely gonna be trash on Scorpion because of its slow fire rate.

can't tell much about anothers since they're not out yet but i don't think they're gonna top The Trio the drawbacks in just too much compared to good stuff

All wil be nerfed befor new augments. Swarm was nerfed shortly after fund. Now sucks.

And Scorpion is nerfed in fire rate from the begining.

Enjoy while it last.
