Giving Use to Electrical Nano

[Octo]

Let us buy a third weapon slot in the bitstore. With three weapons you could dedicate a weapon to removing shields then switch out to another nano.It would open up some strategy in your loadout, rather than everyone sticking with radation for being the best jack of all trades nano.

I totally agree with this.

[Graywolfe]

I like the idea.

Scrappers and grid are 100% machines so they should be weak against electric (and maybe radiation as it alo affects electronics and its highly corrosive?) damage and certain type of weapons, specially energy based ones, while even inmune to other nanos and weapons (like infector, fire and bio.... yes, i mention my favorite nano too, but electric is my second favorite so i'm on a win-win position)

Well i think fire should stay, as at a high degree fire will melt steel. White phosphorus and magnesium rounds will burn right through most metals. I agree that bio and probably syphon should have no effect on scrappers.

Well... Magnesium rounds were effective against Scorpinok in the Transformers movie... if I remember correctly. Then again he got pounded by... what... 2 or 3 A-10 Warthogs and an AC-130 blasting away with 105s?

First, you should use Electric grenade more.

An eletric det would be pretty good crowd controller

Northstar Flare is a good crowd controller. But after patch 2.505 or something, Fire nano has also short incapacitating effect like Electric. This feels like cheat.

True but i was just pointing out that fire can be effective against machines.

[Eleni]

Very good idea about the machines!!

Aside elec is my fav Nano. Less efficient but like the sparkles and seeing raiders raiders ruling the dance floor


+1 for a elec explosive gun tho.

[Johnny Stranger]

Considering this is the least favored Nano, would it make sense to make all scrapper strictly shield and no health? Technically they're machines, with no flesh for health. Doubling, tripling or even quadrupling their shields may give use to this Nano, making Electrical for the first time, desirable.

Thoughts? What else do you think could be done to have use for electrical weapons?

if you hit a guy with enough electrical rounds, he should have a chance to catch fire .... think electric needs to be buffed all around .... maybe next jp gun ? an electrical gun that after 5 rounds hit enemy, 10 % chance enemy catches fire ? or zap the hell out of the enemy that they take 20 % more damage for 5 seconds or so ? or the electrical explosive part, to surrounding enemies , paralyzes them for 5 seconds and they take 25 % more damage during paralyzed (shocked state )

love electrical (I'm an electrician lol )

NEED ELECTRIC DAMAGE BUFF ALL AROUND PLEASE

[konstantinov]

I have a few electrical weapons I'd like to use but unless I'm taking the shield off Volge it's pretty pointless.

Sounds like you've played Gaige in BL2.

[Cyripax NeoPrime]

Ive always been a fan of electrical nano, always have one in at least 4 of my 6 loadouts. And i MISS THE OLD CLUSTER FLASHBANG AND CLUSTER PYRO GRENADES!! The old grenade systems in general. This new one STILL depresses me to this day.
