This is just me asking my fellow ORKS what are your feelings on the buzz killa. I for one love it seeing as I've had the Melee boy or tank busta argument a few times and this weapon solves it ! How do you gitz feel about it ?
I think it will be a great weapon to surprise the enemy, take it out and blow up the first git that turns the corner. As an Anti-tank weapon I think it will be lackluster but I will be using it come launch.
"Da Buzz Killa iz da best! You can be supa shooty when yous still choppy!" - Mruk "Squigbrains" Krulla In all seriousness, I'm a bit torn over the weapon. If you have a decent anti-infantry melee weapon in one hand, then a bit of extra anti-tank in the other could make you more versatile. Stormboyz could be popping tanks out from the air! However, in my mind, it seems like a weaker, dumb-fire, rocket-laucher type weapon that could easily miss or not even kill outright despite a close proximity. Since most of the game will be against infantry, I'm not quite sure whether to take the dive or not.
But what about Tankbustas in general? Are there any news that points towards them being a part of the game? Or even mentioned at all? I have a dream for another character that is the go-to-guy for popping heavy stuff with rokkit-launchas and such, and of course would this be his 2nd armament.
Anti-tank weapons and melta bombs have been confirmed to be in the game. From that, we can assume Ork Rokkit Launchas and Tankbusta Bombs are available, so even if there isn't a Tankbusta elite class, you'll certainly be able to make a pseudo-Tankbusta using one of the classes (likely Loota or Shoota).
I was pretty unimpressed at first, but then i got to think about possible applications - If I, as a Kommando or similarly, go about with a Basic Weapon, like a Shoota, and a combined Pistol and Close Ranged weapon, which has basically been confirmed to be how the basic Tac-like classes work, I can go about and kill things with the Shoota, stab things with a Stabba, and, if I get the chance, I can suprise a bunch of players with the Buzz Killa. Also, it sounds like seriously bad news in the fluff blurb. If it really is that powerful, I look forward to LAUNCHING DA MISSILES!
I like it, it's just so damn orky. I think it might be an awesome hero/elite killer, nothing like a surprise rokkitt to the face.
As cool as a tankbusta would be as a hero class, the idea of a horde of F2W players rushing towards a tank all swinging tankhammers as the tank attempts to frantically get out of the way brings a smile to my face
