Lasher's history?

[DaniFilth]

Sorry if this seems abit dumb! but......... was the lasher nerfed? I've always loved it but can you give me it's history? As i want to know it's state atm and what it will be. plus what lasher 2.0 did and if thats been scraped

[Zatrais]

Goes like this:

Lasher 1.0 : Complete suckage.

Lasher 2.0 : walking death star shooter. 3 guys whit lashers could kill anything hehe, only lasted a few weeks.

Lasher 3.0 : The current lasher.

And soon, Lasher 3.5 : 25 ammo in the mag and no min range before lash. (use the dev tracker)

[DaniFilth]

i say bring bk the lasher 2.o lol

[Veteran]

TR never had a 'instagib shotgun' or a 'walking death star shooter'.

We just had sore feet from kicking so much rebel ass.

i remember where the lasher could take a max out in 2 clips of 20, now that was a bit strong, the NC even stopped using their JHs and picked up lashers, Auraxis was a big lasher fight

[DaniFilth]

still does take out maxes in 2 clips :P i didnt know it was nerfed i thought it was a bug for y its weak now! but lasher still is the best!!!!!! i'm always in 3 against 3 fights i always kill the first 2 then die cus i ran outta ammo! needs the 5 more clips ! now tho!... the lasher kills just as fast

[UncleDynamite]

After the ammo changes, the Lasher should be fine. It's still damn difficult to avoid lashings, and I don't think many people want to see the weapon returned to its overpowered days.

I remember the uberlasher. That was super annoying :/

[Rbstr]

GAh the uberlasher was death near instagib indoors, and the AV damage was ridiculous, and it had splash if it hit near you that seemed to do more than if it had acctualy hit you.

Durring those two weeks the VS owned everyone constantly

And soon, Lasher 3.5 : 25 ammo in the mag and no min range before lash. (use the dev tracker)

And don't forget the 3 sec reload timer

[GreyFox]

Yey! Not that I use the lasher, but my empire will benefit

[Seer]

I'd like to say that Lasher 1.0 coupled with Lancer 1.0 was a HELL of a lot more effective than Lasher 3.0 coupled with Lancer 2.0.

In fact I think I liked Lasher 1.0 better than 2.0 or 3.0.

The MCG had it's day in the sun. I remember that thing during beta...

It still can kill a max in two clips. I get raped in my max constantly with those things.

Heh, the glory days of the MCG, back in beta. I remeber hearing that thing's terrible scream near by and knowing I was dead.
