I know its really early days yet and im yet to even try the new weapon types (Bucket & MiniGun) but as expected online is full of them at the moment, i was wondering how people are finding these weapons and more importantly how we are coping against them.
Personally when i'm coming up against a minigun on the opponents team i have had little or no issue with them i can normal move away or splat them before they get a chance, it looks like it has a strong learning curve, I normally tackle them with the short range quick firing weapons an moving around corners a lot, ive had high success in throwing suction bombs behind them and watch as they step back as they wind up to shoot because they know they can out range me and them stepping into my trap
The bucket weapon has been more challenging to deal with due to the good range and power with a decent fire range to, i have enjoying battling the bucket welding squids there a threat but not overpowered i found quick sneaky movements work or using a weapon to easily out range them helped alot.
One thing that has been a pain least in turf wars is the amount of ink strikes :S.
All my above experience was in turf wars i only had a spare hour or two to dabble in the new update, things are probably very different in the other modes.
