How many vs have you seen that are good with the lasher?

[Goku]

No one stands out ever since the change from when I have been playing. I don't have those oh shit moments like I do with some TR knowing I'm going to die if I see their names in killspam.

[jakaul]

I just close my eyes and hold down the left mouse button.

[Shadowrath]

Lasher y u no kill everything

[GTGD]

I'm ok with it. Favorite thing is looting them when I play my TR/NC characters, the VS think it's just some idiot and I get a free kill.

[Metalsheep]

Noone comes to mind for me in particular, but the Lasher isnt THAT bad. It could use some work though. The gun has always had problems.

This one VS I saw tripped and shot himself in the face with it, one shot kill. He was pretty good.

[jakaul]

I think I was 19 or 20/1 before I left there to handle the TR up at Tara. The AC guys were tearing the ones up in the base while I got to feast on the zergers lol.

Those were my AMSes ya'll kept blowing up, was driving them from Akua until Pele capped.

I always wondered why they didn't let every empire take energy ammo, since the Vanu could still take all ammo for other looted empires (except ESAV - which is also more rare comparatively of looted weapons).

Anywho, the Lasher has always been kind of a flawed weapon. Before, it doubled as SA; now, it's sort of like an alternate MCG with a worse COF. The problem being, up close it still has a faster TTK on Rexo than an MCG, so if you buff the COF too much it's going to completely negate the MCG.

As for best users, I always considered Visigodo to be the best Lasher user in game. I don't really play all that much anymore, but before I quit Angel definitely came into his own as one of the best Lasher users.

Well the VS do have regular access to the Punisher and Sweeper, so there's your 9 mm and shotgun ammo.

Still could've made the energy ammo common pool as well, but meh.

[Huntsab]

Infy I own you like an American owns huge clothes after sipping milkshakes and eating burgers.

Would have been fun to have at least one CP energy weapon.

Back when I was good, I pretty much held off a yellow alert with the old Lasher, I killed 20 enemies before finally being killed with no help. Or actually there was one vs who spawned in, picked up a quasar max, and proceded to use anti vehicle mode on infantry, he died within 10 seconds. lol. And not all the guys I was fighting were noobs either, a couple almost beat me. Also the interlink facility benefit + fighting only 1 max helped greatly! The lasher was a lot harder for me to use when I was lagging, the first portion of the time I played in 2006 I was using a completely out to date computer, my computer I used back in 2004/2005 broke down, and I couldn't buy any good parts . Then I finally got me some good fps, and bam, I almost held off a yellow alert single handedly! Not a boast, I actually didn't even notice I did this till a couple years later when I was looking at my old footage I recorded. Edit: Let me add there were 1 or 2 vs in cc, but I defended the rest of the base
