Quick question...

    To my fellow TR out there, a quick question... which of these would you prefer?


    Lockdown - Increases your ROF, bullet velocity, and reload speed. Makes you a sitting duck

    Liquid nitrogen backpack - HQ, in there infinite wisdom, decided that we should start carrying around liquid nitrogen as a back-up coolant for our chain guns. This... actually worked out surprisingly well, allowing for massively increased ROF (and therefore DPS) while somehow not freezing the guns. While the engineers keep sitting back in there corners, yelling "THATS IMPOSSIBLE" we're still just running amuck, throwing nice (cold?) lead at ANYTHING that moves... / isn't red.

    Those poor bunnies...


    But seriously, both for practical use and just having fun, which of these would you prefer? And on other news, is this actully up for debate?

    Well.. lockdown in PS1 was useful for two things: as a burster MAX and in hallways/stairwells.

    They already said that MAX abilities won't really effect NS weapons so bursters are out, and we don't exactly have a lot of hallways/stairwells so... lockdown will mainly be useful for getting yourself killed.

    As such... any other option sounds good?

    The vast majority of cap points are indoors/closed off. That's where lockdown will be useful, just like that's where the current scatmax is useful.

    So what would be the downside to this ability? We get an increase in rof, whats the tradeoff

    Only so much time until we run out of coolant, and then a cooldown.

    Otherwise, we can choose to make ourselves a sitting duck.
