First of all, there are numerous 1 shot kill weapons in D3 and they're mostly all Secondaries. (basing it on the starting 100 shields) 5 off the top of my head... 1. Smart Missile 2. Impact Mortar 3. Frag (if placed correctly) 4. Napalm 5. Mega Missile As for Fusion, yes it has the potential for 1 s...

A well-thought out breakdown.

However, I would probably file Concs under a 'Most Underrated' Category. There probably isn't a weapon in the game that is underrated more than the Concussion. It's the lil missile that could. It doesn't really resonate as something 'great', though.

Here's the 4 ways in which I use smarts. 1) Plant directly into ground or wall in close-combat in an attempt to immediately hit my opponent. 2) Switch to Smarts when I open a door in a 1v1 and plant them directly into the ground outside, to see if it tracks or not. I will only do this if I'm concern...

Smart Missile. I nominate the Smart Missile because it is also a one shot killing machine if it's handled right. If it isn't, then it just creates a bunch of pretty lights. Plus, with the smart plasma homing in on you, that creates the quintessential homing noise that is the essence of Descent. And...

S13, you need to let go of your Hate, man. It's eating you up inside. You need to learn to appreciate Fusion and its Majesty.

Now, discuss the ways in which the Fusion Cannon has inspired you to become a better pilot.

Discuss the Fusion Cannon's candidacy as the GOAT weapon

What other weapon in the Descent Franchise could possibly compete for Greatest Of All Time status? The Fusion Cannon has been a Descent Mainstay throughout the entire franchise, and is beloved by Lobbers, Ratters, Dogfighters, and Elites all the same. No other weapon can sniff the Greatness of the F...

Typically when I'm in Veins running my customary 70-80%, there is always one lucky player who goes 50/50 on me. They happen to be the guy who finds me with low shields after I've taken down 2 or 3 others.

Additional slots can be added to the server so observers can view the match in awe and adoration.

Autograph sessions after the game can be scheduled as necessary.

In terms of skill level, the previous eras of Descent 3 were weak and uninspired compared to the current era. In a match to 100, even a glorified tandem like Birdseye and Nirvana would struggle to score 60 points against the EPIC team-up of DT & Ryu. Behemoth these days presents solid competitio...

Ryu & DT in the Modern Era : Best D3 Tandem of All Time?

Now that Ryu has seen the light and finally converted to my mouse config, he has been absolutely beastly and possibly even surpassed my own amazing skill level. So this begs the question - is there any 2v2 matchup in the history of Descent 3 that could actually beat us?

Discuss.
