Don't forget, call in a second Quasar at extraction and enjoy swapping between the two. They recharge while on the floor so you can just fire twice as much as normal.

5:35 Worth noting, the legs are actually a whole separate "kill condition" on the Hulk - If you destroy both, they fall over and die instantly, regardless of remaining health.

So about the tanks: One Quasar shot to the heat sink and a single slugger shot to the heat sink will kill them. Found that out today.

[miirico]

Quasar is god damn amazing, an alternative for EAT is always welcome. the HMG on the other hand is a little underwhelming but I know the GIGAchads who enjoys the DAKKA DAKKA line will enjoy it a lot.

[voidsnakes]

Thank you, a lot of other YouTubers only say how it does against enemies and just don’t include the buildings

[ranadaine]

If I saw things correctly, tanks/turrets are 1 quasar + 1 scorcher to the vents, which is kinda nice

[TheReykjavik]

It is worth knowing that tanks and super turrets are almost killed by one shot to the vent, one shot plus a scorcher shot is enough to kill them, so if you have anything that can do any damage, it is a faster follow up than waiting for the cooldown and charging a second shot.

[dorkasaurus_rex]

Thank you for showing a lot of the reasonable shortcomings of this weapon whereas most of the community has already instantly decided it's S+ tier and needs nerfs ASAP.

[StichanXD]

For the hulks a tip I discovered that I find useful sometimes is that if you dont have a clear shot on the head, you can shoot off one of the arms in 1 shot from the Quasar. Especially useful against the scorcher variant since it only has the chainsaw after and is pretty easy to deal with from that point. Good for when the hulk is chasing your ally.

[bubalolo]

It's my new favorite weapon, hulks, tank, turrets, it tears em all a new one. The charging time is tricky for bot drops but the projectile speed makes up for it tenfold.

I hope they don't nerf it to oblivion....

[rubles]

It's an alternative to the EAT, while EAT lets you have weapon variety, this lets you always have a rocket available

It doesn't deserve a nerf, it's a sidegrade

[koizumiizumi]

i love these types of Videos, you're not pushing a 'meta build', but testing and informing us of the pros, cons and use case scenarios this weapon can be used in.
I love knowing what i can use diff weapons for, and the quirks each of them have.

[MMadous]

One important tip for Tanks and Automaton Turret Towers (the ones with the heatsink on the back)

A single Quasar shot actually puts these targets at just a sliver of health. One Quasar shot plus one Slugger shot into the heatsink will destroy both these targets the same way (suggesting they actually have the same HP pool). Swapping to the Slugger and firing is FAR faster than waiting for the Quasar to recharge, but of course is far more positioning dependent.

[fenrrirgr]

I have a theory about normal damage and armor damage. The anti-tank weapons do amor damage and that kind of damage do effects like: if you hit the charger head, it will make the head explode, hit the legs, and the armor will pop off, same with Titan's back. If you hit the mouth of the Charger with EAT, it will not one shot it, that's because the head health pool is bigger than the head armor health pool.That would explain how Stalkers, chainsaw bots and bile spewers survive, that's because they are not heavy armored enemies, they just have a lot of health. So, it seems that we have light and medium armor that can be penetrated and heavy armor that can be destroyed. So far it what makes sense for me.

The Quasar not one-shotting Berserkers seems to be in line with other large weapons reacting to them in a similar way, like the Laser cannon. I don't know whether it's a bug with the hitbox or it's just something special about Berserkers, but they are notoriously hard to K.O. with large guns, Swiss Army Autocannon notwithstanding.

[Gspi]

One note on the cannon turret, if you're running the scorcher, a quasar to the heatsink + 1-3 scorcher shots will take it out, being a great way to deal with them from very long ranges.

[sailenthotcarathot]

Quick thing that I discovered today. If you manage to send the Quasar shot through the cannon of the Annihilator Tanks, you can and will one shot them. This isn't 100% true maybe since I haven't thoroughly tested it, but for now 7 out of 7 of the tanks I shot through their cannons died in one shot.

[MightyManotaur]

This is so powerful for taking out objectives from a distance. Great video!

[Rysdad]

A pack to wear that reduces the charge up of arc an weapons like this by 50% or something would be very nice

[Adzミ]

coming from a quasar cannon user, this is great info, ty
