Users, in general, are quite pleased with this, but it seems that this new weapon still lacks power, specifically with certain enemies. For example, the Devastator’s shield can still withstand the impact of a missile from this weapon, which doesn’t make sense compared to other enemies.

One of the most common robots in the Automaton army seems to be invulnerable to the power of this weapon due to its shield. This has led part of the community to not understand the studio’s choice, specifically with this enemy.

The studio has shown several times that the balance between enemies is quite different depending on the weapon and how the user shoots them. That is why most players in this title prefer to fight against the bugs, which are easier to annihilate and understand the damage they take.
