Sun Scorcher Sux

Tried posting this on the sun scorcher? thread but it was archived. I finnally got one. Vic majorly sucks with this weapon. He always misses. Since I am playing jinxed (at this time) this means he's always dropping it and loosing his turn etc... And I had to reload all the time doing caravans because of the caravan people picking it up. I suppose it would be more usefull if I wasn't jinxed, but I immagine if he fumbles 2/3 of the time with it jinxed, he'd be missing 2/3 of the time with it not. He is much better with even just a hunting rifle. Now as for player use, it's pretty decent if you've got an energy weapon character, but reloading it is a bitch, since it can only be done in the day time. Still a plasma rifle or y2kxb is much better unless you are cutting down dogs or mantis. I found even fighting lowly spore plants I did better with a y2kxb. (I got "lucky" and found a robber cave with some robbers using this awsome weapon. lost casidy though.)

Personally, I don't know why people want to seek out the Solar Scorcher. IMHO it sucks. I'd rather use the alien blaster, thank you very much.

I use it if i find it. I found that having it as a secondary weapon, complementing the gauss rifle, it comes in very handy. With 1 action boy and 10 agility plus bonus rate of fire you can have two shots with the gauss and 1 with the scorcher. Plus you do not need to have ammo for the thing (most important advantage) so you have extra carry weight. It all depends on what type of char you are playing i guess. It can be very helpful with a char that has not a lot of strength and small frame.

Yeah, unlimited ammo in sunlight. And it blows compared to the alien blaster. Gauss rifle/alien blaster is a way better combo. Gauss for long range, blaster for short range. And useful in night time too.
