Commando Archive

I know it's commonly thought that the accuracy and speed bonuses for the HAR don't add together but since I'm not planning on using the flamer or the HAR for my primary weapon I was thinking along the lines of adopted the HAR for the main reason that acid is great for bypassing resistances and armor (indeed it's one of the few non-disposable weapons which punch a huge hole in Rancor) so based on the fact it's going to be used as a support weapon while I'm in a group I have to ask is it really that poor in terms of accuracy or is it just a pain when your forced to move around or fire it while standing?

tal-n the proplem with the HAR ant its ac its the ham cost and the

DELAY after specils its almost 2x as long of a delay as the flamer is

the har tkes about 300 ham when wareing armor and about 200 without armor

the dam out put is to low to

i was just fooling around with a friend and we fought with are HAR i use a specil and he loos 100 life and me 300 from the ham cost

Right well we all know that specials aren't supposed to be used constantly and considering how the HARs basic damage output isn't all that different from using a T21 mindshot 2 but has a similar drain to the HAMs I don't think it'll be tough for me to simply avoid using the specials alot. Plus I have medical skills to replenish the health and action anyway. So if the only problem is that it's not as viable as the flamethrower with it's specials then I'd say it's not a problem.

I'd just prefer to not end up as yet another commando dabbler who's taking the flamer for the sake of it if the alternative isn't that terrible.

Tal-N I use the HAR for the very same reason, but Flamer is my Main Weapon until I go up against a 100% Heat critter then I whip out my trust but slow HAR. It isn't to bad for HAM Costs it is more so then the flamer but I have heard of other weapons being worse. Then again I am a Wookiee with High HAM. Personally as I said in another post somewhere else I think HAR should be a clone of the Flamer just with Acid Dam. Should even have a DOT for Acid Burn or something to that affect.(I hope Devs are reading & taking notes)

I like the HAR for its quiet fire, and the little batons it shoots, and how the weapon itself looks.

Add in that it cuts straight into those AR medium lizards on Dant, and it's a good weapon. Too slow, doesn't do as much damage as the flamethrower, and the delay from acid specials is pretty rediculous, but when the condition on my flamer got very low, i was using the HAR a lot
