Spiderbot launcher
Hey so did any of you ever really use the spiderbot launcher on Kylie's rifle? Of course this requires that you kill her in Sol's or later on in the WC storyline and take it from her, since there's little use for it if you only get it on the space station.
Reason I ask is I only recently started fucking around with it, and it's totally awesome and hilarious to use. But even on the lowest item difficulty you can count the ammo you get for it on one hand. On the hardest item difficulty there's a grand total of 2 spider canisters in the entire game, and one of them is pretty well hidden. I was thinking that if anybody ever actually uses Kylie's rifle, I would add a few more canisters to the game so you can get more use out of it.
I'll also be giving Kylie's rifle a unique texture for 1.0.5, incidentally. Might make it cooler to acquire and use

Re: Spiderbot launcher
I did once. I just about killed everybody at Sols after forgetting to holster my 10mm pistol. I only found the canister in the OSC, so I didn't really test it out.

*checks walkthrough*
Yup, only 4 mentions of spiderbot cannisters. Although with 1.0.4 I believe the one from the sewers day 1 is there too day 2, so that would make 5.
That's... few yes.
I don't think I used it, kind of a hoarder. Generally kept all Vortex nades throughout the game unused too.

Can somebody tell me how I can get a custom avatar?
Oh wait, I already got one...

Re: Spiderbot launcher
Not much. Never found a good tactical use for the spiderbot launcher that outweighed losing the grenade launcher on the original variant (or carrying both). Kind of like the vortex grenades. Tend to not carry them because there are few good tactical places to use it.Jonas wrote:Hey so did any of you ever really use the spiderbot launcher on Kylie's rifle?

Re: Spiderbot launcher
I make it a point to always get her gun, so this news is great for me. I just never really found a use for the attached grenade launcher in the regular rifle, in TNM or in DX, so i figured what the hay, i'll just trade off the regular nade for the occasional spiderbot ally and more punch in my bullets. I think over the course of my various playthroughs i only ever came across one spider canister. Never used, of course.
I don't know if there's a saying for it, but the question was, what do you do with the greatest weapon of all time, and the answer was nothing at all. You save it forever until you absolutely positively need it.

Re: Spiderbot launcher
How does... 5-10 spiders over the course of the game sound?

Re: Spiderbot launcher
Additional ones?
As they aren't exactly vortex nades, no need to ration them that...

Re: Spiderbot launcher
I ration everything, you've seen the item balance sheet
But no, I was saying in total. I guess you're right though, I can add more of them.
Hmm. How about 10 on hardest item difficulty and 25 on lowest? Is that too many?

Re: Spiderbot launcher
25 does seem a lot, although it's not called easy for nothing. I think 10 on the hardest is fair as you'd have more need of them...if you're me.

Re: Spiderbot launcher
As Bobby says, lowest has a LOT of items, so why not Spiderbot nades too?

It shall be done.

Re: Spiderbot launcher
YES MUST HAVE MORE CANISTERS
Cheat spawning those and spamming a group of lama's was so much fun ^^
Not quite as much as a quintuple kill through 3 walls and 2 floors with a vortex grenade though. The vortex grenade was by far my favorite weapon, the tough part was finding suitable groups of enemies .

Hahaha! I've killed myself more than any enimies with those things. It's fun tossing one at ZP at DXI and watching the blender effect from the safety of a closed door.
