I am thinking about investing some certifications in the Harasser. I went to the Virtual Reality and tried out the Marauder, the Fury, the Bulldog, the Vulcan, and the Kobalt. I am certain that I will first purchase the Kobalt with certs then buy another turret as I think the default HMG is lousy for the Harasser, the question is, which one of these guns (besides the kobalt) should I get? So far the bulldog seems the best, having the best damage and able to damage vehicles and has good splash and its cheap. Then there is the Marauder, which has a fast fire rate and lots of grenades. The Fury vs the other grenade launchers seems lacking and I don't understand why anyone would want it. Finally there is the Vulcan for anti armor. I love the Vulcan on my Prowler, and on the Harasser it would be good for circling tanks and blowing them up, AND, it actually has a good elevation range, meaning it can be a very good AA gun. Which one should I get?
Immediately.... Marauder or Vulcan, simply because they are the TOP weapons in each of fields. The Vulcan has a ludicrously high DPS and damage capacity within a single mag, with fairly high reliability through its sustained fire. The Marauder is a no contest direct upgrade to Fury... more rounds, better overall damage as a result, and very very cheap on certs. For those reasons alone, all the NS systems look like garbage to the TR. However, they are also prime candidates for future nerfs. But considering how many times TR specific nerfs get pushed back, and how they often benefit from just about any incidental buff in the game mechanics, they'll maintain that power until GU14.
I would get the Marauder. The thing is cheap and it massacres groups of infanty. It dose horrid at AV however, I wouldn't shoot at a tank unless its to the rear or it's smoking/burning. Cert the mag size up and slap thermal on it and you have a farming machine. The Kobalt is ok, it can pick off infanty from range, but you have zero abitlly to kill armour. I like it on tanks far more than on harrassers, as it can be harder to aim while moving at speed. The Bulldog is overshadowed by the Marauder, I have it, but I don't use it anymore. I'll likely use it again once I have the aux. on my Marauder done. The Vulcan and the Halberd are your two main AV guns. I like both, but it depends on the situation your in for which one you'd want to use. Halberd is FAR better at range and mediocre at AI, Vulcan sucks at range but will kill any vehicle that gets to close rather quickly, and also fares well agaisnt air. Stinks at AI >5m.
Thanks, I was wondering why buy the Fury when you can have the Marauder? I thought there must be SOME major advantage of the Fury to make it equal to the TR's version but I guess there isn't. Your post helped me alot.
Get the Vulcan.. It drills everything I mean everything in seconds. Its totally out of this word crazy, even more than the striker!
Thanks for the extra information. I am just getting the Kobalt first as I have the certs for it and I don't like default. In about a week I am going to buy some station cash and one of things I was planning to spend it on was the Harassers guns, which is why I made this thread.
Well since the nerf of the fury the marauder is better in pretty much all aspects so thats why its most likly up for future nerf i would recomend buying it but just hold on certing to much into it. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut if they nerf that instead of buffing (changing) c85 modified or Proton ppa then we will just have 3 empire specific Ai weps that are worthless it will just end up with ppl not spending their smedbux on getting diffrent ai weps and just stick with the fury .
I'd skip the Kobalt. The Murader is cheap and kills many infantry. It sucks against other harassers or vehicles... Kobalt vs default. I would choose default because it has the ability to kill other harassers like 2.1x faster.. Then, I'd get the vulcan... It can kill infantry (it's not hard... at all) and it can kill planes(which is also not hard, at all) and vehicles. If you have enough certs to already get the vulcan, I'd just get that as it can do everything. The Murader is strictly for infantry... Do not get the bulldog. It 100% blows on any type of vehicle, except for flash. The infantry killing power is also not near as good as the Fury or the Murader. You can still kill tanks with the murader, if they are sucky and you are a good driver. I've killed 2 vanguards and 1 lightning in one life with my PPA thing, which totally sucks against vehicles.. It was dark and the enemy missed ~95% of their shots. So you can still do it.... So.. Vulcan + Murader
Vulcan = Vehicle killing but terrible at killing infantry. Marauder = Infantry killing but terrible at killing vehicles. Halberd = Kills both, and at a distance. Personally I say just get a halberd.
I have the Vulcan, Murader, and the Halbred. Have to say the Halbred in my op is the best all around weapon.
Vulcan, it eats armor. Pick up a marauder for AI work if you have to kill bunches of infantry, Vulcan is pretty poor at AI...
