LockingSoul Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 First of all, if this doesnt belong here ill move it When did they remove its arm up time? Wiki says 29.5 but i cant find it on the patch notes Why did they remove it? Do they realize that the weapon has become literally unusable unless you use it with atlas? Basically, why did they nerf an already not good weapon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duality52 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 The arming distance is more unnecessary with the lack of self-damage. With frames that grants Status immunity such as Gauss himself, this allows the Akarius to function even at close ranges still. The same applies to the already fixed Kuva Ayanga too. 34 minutes ago, LockingSoul said: Basically, why did they nerf an already not good weapon? It's a strong gun still, just overshadowed by the popularity of the Acceltra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0asu Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 changes are in Patch Notes 29.5 under "GENERAL CHANGES" you could just search the page for Akarius and you'll find it immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Madurai-Prime Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Not good? The weapon is great for applying status. I'm saving up for a riven to try my luck for more multishot lol. With its homing mechanic, you can spray a room of enemies. I use it on Steel Path Acolytes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)CommanderC2121 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 The gun is stat wise fine and all. Has some surprisingly high upfront damage, although its poor crit stats means it falls off after a while, and a decent status. Its biggest issues IMO is it feels clunky to use and almost requires ammo mutation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(NSW)Mbek Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Ever since I got Prime Sure Footed I loathe arming distance on explosive weapons, so I'm thankful it's gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)robotwars7 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 never was a fan of Akarius, even before all the self-damage changes. Acceltra though, now THAT is a thing of beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockingSoul Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 What the hell? How is people happy of not heing able to use a weapon properly. It needed the arming distance so that you didnt start going Gara the hegdehog every 5 seconds, it sucks. What, you want to also remove the acceltras arming distance? Thanks, you killed the weapon.
