EMP Blob

Post by Bombadil » #209911

Holy shit cant even kill it unless you release the singulo because even with mass production xray lasers we couldnt beat the two blobs. One was emp one was radiation.

EMP just destroyed all of our gun charges

We had all of sec and science with xray lasers working together to kill the blobs. Both sides had teamwork.


Most of the time the blobs spawn in different spots and get ripped to shreds. We tried killing them with xray lasers but wherever we attacked it would just start charging at us with the fucking emp blobs and destroy all our charges

I do think EMP blobs are pretty unfun to fight though, one time I was a cyborg and the blob rolled EMP so I just sorta fucked off because my part in the round was over.

Getting in melee with the blob was a death sentence because the radiation blob would fill you with rads and you'd get stunlocked because of it

Couldn't you just fire the xrays from behind a wall so they can't EMP you?

It releases an EMP when a tile dies last I saw, and that goes through walls.

i mean like do it form a distance behind some sort of barrier, idk it seems like it's not that hard to keep out of EMP range with an xray rifle

Blob getting steamrolled by x-ray lasers is also unfun. There's no counter other than always popping in the same spot. Nerf the shots from 20 to 10 at least.

The counter to EMP blob is seriously just stay out of range that's not HARD to do the blob can't do shit if you can laser it before it can get close enough for you to be in EMP range.
Or, alternatively, you can actually just beat an EMP blob to death with a fireaxe.

So you are complaining that the blob has a counter to your counter? Counter that blob's counter with a different counter!

In this case, an EMP blob is meant to be fought with brute damage, as EMP blobs take full brute damage.
