Tenasy Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I used to love to play the Sobek, but as I progressed through the game I had to leave it behind. Am I one of few that found this shotgun fun? I would really like to see it get some love and maybe a variant either Kuva or Vaykor. Something that would bring this weapon back to life for the end game and even take it down the Steel Path. Thanks for reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauggie Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 could definitely happen since they haven't made many grineer specific weapons, if they intent to make more wraith/kuva variant then sobek would get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaKitsune56 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I still break out the Sobek. That syndicate mod for it turns it into status spam in short order. The biggest problem I've had with it is the reload time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpringRocker Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 It's a good shotgun, especially with acid shells. My shotguns of choice were the Sobek, Kohm, and Corinth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovusKnight Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 sadly there just aint a reason to use this when the CEDO exists. but yes, Sobek is fun for the while it is worth using. I frequently paired it with Banshee; it was stellar at hitting weakspots, and that easily made it offset bad crit stats in order to kill fast - which resulted in very frequent acid explosions. fun indeed.

Tennomae Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I have been playing for 5 years and haven't used Sobek in a long time. It still shows up as my most used weapon in my stats. I really like it a lot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenHare Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Sobek and Kohm too were fun weapons but I guess they never recovered from the last damage overhaul. A pity. It was nice to clear out an entire room of mobs with Acid Shells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Ragology Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I think sobek got nerfed s bit with one of the updates. Also acid shells is a bit inconsistent (I heard that the aoe is cross shaped instead of sphere shaped and thats why it often misses.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwqrf Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I, too, dream of a Kuva Sobek. But i'd also be happy with a Sobek Wraith. Both can be also good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediloric Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I only started using the Sobek recently, got a good Riven, dumped a ton of forma onto it, and aside from the painful reload... I loved every second of using it, just hits right with me! So yeah I'd totally love a Kuva or a Wraith variant! (with better reload) I'm actually surprised they never added it in.

To be fair, kohm really died with the status change since they changed it from the best status cannon in the game (26+ proc per shot) to one of the lowest status shotguns hidden behind a flawed stats screen. On topic though, Ill be hoping for a Kuva Sobek someday, it deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
