Silver Haze also has really high combo reduction on its trident. So I guess that's just a thing they do on suits with 2 weapons, and one of them toppels with the melee pursuit skill.
Shield does look like it should be a pile bunker type weapon, but I guess they figured two melee attacks was already enough for a 350. A unique counter would've been nice at least. Thing feels a little held back by its cost range, like its kit was built for a 400. Definitely not bad, but I would've liked a different rifle or forced injectors.
Nice that this thing has actual useful Vulcans unlike the original ground type. And instant topple on the javelin I believe is unique to this suit at 350
I was super lucky pulling this suit on the way to getting Xi. I had a lot of fun messing with it so far tonight. Edit: on a side note, you were describing a pile bunker. An amazing melee weapon in Front Mission games. TONS of damage, but easy to miss with.
So I’ve noticed. I haven’t used the BR in a while and forgot how slow it was when I tested it myself. No alternate weapon either so you have to rely on a solid team and that nade to set up targets.
