(XBOX)KayAitch Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 The Machete Wraith was in Baro's console loadout this week, and I bought it because I'm working on MR and need every weapon. But, what is this garbage? No crit, no status, no damage. I'd use it to open letters but the mail's all electronic. Who is supposed to benefit from this Baro-only weapon? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)N7_Dredgen Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Well it is a mastery 1 weapon... mastery does in fact correlate to a weapons usefulness, so you are playing with pretty much the absolute lowest tier of weapon. The entire machete archetype is rather trash tbh. Also it wasn't Baro only before - it was event only, so the only benefit now is that you can get the MR from Baro if you missed the event it was in - otherwise the weapon is worth nothing and should be deleted when maxed.

Just a little surprised about just how pathetic a weapon this hard to get actually is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kreska, Gazal, technically Nami Solo and any Zaw ones are ok since Cyclone Kraken exists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiltskillet Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I'm not selling mine until I have a better idea what the melee overhaul has in store. I'm not hurting for slots though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woah, woah, woah - I never said MR1 players have those funds or that the price is reasonable - but the reality is it's balanced for MR1 tier weapons. They balance their weapons by an MR category. It's just one of those ancient weapons that's been in the game 5 years and never got any real love, it's been bad since it first came out - really could use a buff.

Not until the melee rework drops I don't think the melee overhaul is going to make much difference here. Even if machetes as a class become good the Machete Wraith remains a poor comparison to everything else in the category. Except for the Machete - I expect that to be cardboard, but does anyone know how to get hold of one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't expect so either, but there's a chance.

OvisCaedo Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 The thing is that there is not JUST an overhaul of melee classes coming up. God knows how long it'll take them, but there's also supposed to be an entire sweeping balance pass of all of the melee weapons, like the one that happened for primaries and secondaries last year. They said the melee balance pass would be coming with 3.0... but, again, it could be six months before that ACTUALLY happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
