I've noticed that the banshee has a very large explosive radius compared to it's very small impact animations... The PPA had a very similar issue long ago, many players may be confused as to why they're dying from a sound effect and no visual effects. This coming from a player who... is probably going to be on TR for quite some time. I was not wrong about their strength, figure I should get some kills in before the nerfhammers start.
Well this is one of many bests in TR's arsenal, but I just feel as though it's unfair to new players to be dying by sound effects and no visual effects, this is what happened with the PPA, the visual effects came in, and people understood just how big the explosive radius was.
Ah yes because when people saw how big that radius was they could suddenly detect an ESF and jump out of the way of the shells before they landed in a split second!
