Bad news - The Battle Blades have been reduced in power.

Good news - New weapons for those with more points in SKL! Variable Calibre Machine Guns (4/7), Hydro Cyclone Cannons (6/5), Energy Shuriken (0/5), Dual Bladed Swords (0/8] and a few others.

If you're a Decepticon, Mkall said he'd reimburse you personally.
If you're a Autobot, Alpha Strike will reimburse you.
If you're a Maximal, Caelus promises to repay you.
If you're a Predacon, HAHAHAHAHA YOU GUYS MISS OUT!

:P

Understandable. But the Blades, and the Dol Laser rifle, were broken to the point that they were ruining the game for those who couldnt get to them.

It just now means that all the weapons should be useable instead of only those 2, and skill has a use apart from just making tanks strafe.

don't take me wrong, i understand why it needed to be done and totally agree but it just sucks that i bought a ton of them and then it changed.

Just means we get a bit of variety.
As for your bad luck; lets hope the next weapon you decide to splurge on works out better for you. ;)

:sad: :sad: :sad:

Don't you guys already have a Whinertron? This is like if the Autobots had two Wheelies! Just don't let the tears rust you out.

But you're not the only one. I got 12+ blades before they were downgraded, but I'm glad to seem them balanced. (I was also glad to take advantage of that fact last night when others were still using blades not aware of their neutering) Now I've moved on and am trying out some other new and/or unmodified weapons.

Don't worry though, I'll be testing them on you soon enough.

I spent all my recent windfall on BB's. Damn!
The new BB's are augmented (at least appear to be to me) by strength at my low level. i.e. Increasing the damage from around 25 up to as much as 60 with strength 4. Can anyone more experienced tell me if this is true with all weapons or just coincedance as i have only a few missions of results so far?

I'm giving one to Rattrap to see how it fares - I hope there's no face-exploding, unless it's the enemy. :P
