So how much damage does the new rocket launcher do to maxes?

I don't have one so I can't test it. Can someone check? I'm hoping it doesn't make the max completely obsolete.

We don't know. "Massive" is what we've heard, but it's not in the game yet.

Hrm, thought the new weapons were said to be out today. Well, guess we can save this thread until the patch.

New carbines/snipers went in today, new AV weapon/AA buff is next week.

Regular rockets do roughly 50% damage on a direct hit, or about 75% on the head. I'd expect the Deci to be 75% for a regular hit (maybe more) and a OHK on the head.

Oh yay, because we need MAXs to be weaker.

Hopefully the Flak Armor buff applies to the MAX. Then there will actually be a suit cert that isn't completely underwhelming.

At the very least people with lock on launchers will no longer be a problem. Not looking forward to getting hit with the new LOL MAX WHAT MAX launcher though.

Bump. Anyone tested it yet?

lvl 3 flak armor was just OHKO, granted ate one to the face , maxes are op I guess.......

MAXes, as they are right now, seem weak in the open and only useful indoors. They should not be that weak in the open in my opinion, they are slow, so they should be a bit tougher.

I believe that they are still 2 direct hits to kill. If u take it to the face though I believe it's instant death.

According to the data extracted from the game files, the default dumbfire rocket does 1700 damage, the decimator does 2000 damage, not a huge difference, the main problem is the decimator travels at half the speed (60 m/s vs 115 m/s, its freaking slow, and you get 1 less rocket (4 instead of 5)

Rockets do around 1700, the decimator does 2k...maxs' I believe have around 2k hp + 20% explo dmg migitation base.

So a regular rocket does around 1,360 dmg which takes out half of ur hp mostly..

Decimator will do 1,600 which will leave u almost dead. Around 3-4 bars of hp left.

U beat me D:

I found that a direct hit is about 60-70% of a MAXs hp.
