the most USELESS weapon in the game

[WARDUKE]

Rocket Launchers should do significantly more DMG, with a higher CRIT rate, but carry an extremely long reload time to counter its one shot DMG ability.

I guess none of the Devs ever player Rocket Arena..

although you would think the rocket launcher would be the best weapons (most powerful) to me it seems to be the most USELESS weapon in the game, i have a pistol that does just about as much damage as the rocket launcher, and shot guns that do allot more that a rocket launcher? a detonator sometime takes 2 or 3 shot planted at your feet to kill yourself, and in most case 1 grenade will not even kill you but yet 1 rocket at your feet will down you instantly. but yet in most cases a grenade and a detonator have higher damage stats which really makes no sense at all?
something is really f'd up with that

Somebody hasent used a disruptor lol x) dear god I wish they took that forced delay off.

The Mass Cannon, Bonfire, and Sludge rockets are awesome. I think the Rebounder Cannon is also decent.

The only problem I have with the rest, is that you can't use them effectively in PvP but they are still good in PvE. They wont do as much damage as other faster firing, more damaging weapons... but they are still good. Plus a buff is coming so relax.

I thought this was going to be a Disruptor thread. Now I am disappointed

The disruptor is not that bad. the dmg details are wrong, it should be dmgx3 because each bullet hit 3 times
One bullet = dmgx3
One burst = dmgx3x3

The time between burst should be reduced a little.

I know about the 3 shots per bullet but it still sucks. When the thread was made a month or so back about what weapons aren't good the disruptor was chosen by many as the worst weapon. I've ran many tests with them trying to find something good in them. Maybe if they took off the forced delay then it may be decent

A skitterling? Maybe.

I one shot most enemies with a well placed sawed-off shot to the face. The intimidation perk is a very good combination too, melee first then shoot the face.

I haven't used rocket launchers much, prefer detonators, but I have seen the Mass Cannon do really well. Sludge RL's are probably the ones I'll use the most out of all them when I care to start using them.

The first 3 I agree with and the swarm cannon as well, but the rebounder? Really, have you used it? I tried the legendary one I had out at Sutro Tower and I couldn't kill anything with it, I had to switch to a LMG or AR. I think an Armada would do better than the Rebounder. Maybe I was just getting bad rolls and hitting for the minimums of 65 alot, but I couldn't kill anything before ammo ran out.

No. Most normal mobs in the open world and a lot of mobs in Co-Ops. All kinds of Raiders, miners, Etc... Not tankers, black lungs, elite mobs or hellbugs (except archers and blast pods).

Get a sawed off with siphon, cloak, and the perk that makes you do more damage while cloaked. You can do it without siphon, but I find siphon works the best. Shoot once and by the time you reload you are cloaked again meaning every shot has an awesome damage bonus from the cloak. Also, If you hit them and they aren't dead but with a sliver of life left, the siphon will finish them off. It procs on a regular basis. You are always going to get max damage range (i.e. right up on them) because your cloaked. Plus, You stay at full shields 70% of the time due to siphon and cloak. Try it. It's wicked fun.

I've only found one good use for the rebounder.

You can hit the underside(crit spot) on the Matriarchs while not exposed. Just bounce that ball right up there.
