Harpoon damage

(1/2) > >>

Daft Loon:
Its back as a fun joke weapon but is there any real reason for it to have joke damage, if it had slightly more armor damage (maybe equal to unarmed mines) and at least double balloon damage it would be an interesting gun to bring seriously as well as for joke builds. I can't think of any reason it might become op or overlap another guns niche.

Solidusbucket:
I was playing a match the other night (last night?) with some vets (who visit this forum). One of them kept taking pyramidion with mine / harpoon.

Anyways, multiple times I did not notice we were harpooned until I noticed the rope.

A few times I noticed because I was trying to reverse.

My point is: I should have noticed the harpoon hit each and every time. My lack of harpoon awareness was not due to my incompetence (for those that will try to attack me for that).

Because whoever shot the poon did not click to pull, I noticed the same thing against harpoons recently too, not enough people are clicking after the shot, they're leaving the gun to do repairs or buffs or spots, which is why I agree with Dementio, the pull should be automatic.

Richard LeMoon:
Automatic once you click, you mean. I would Also leave the harpoon attached much longer while it is in free mode. This makes it more of a strategic timing weapon and less of a kneejerk thing. You can harpoon the enemy and wait for the best time to pull rather than taking any shot your can get.

And yes, it needs quite a bit more damage as well as the ability to stick in balloons.

Needs "Right-click to reel" tool tip.
