Spits fires a pretty good at pvp. The male and female are 2 entirely different beasts though (you can say that the male has better ground game, while the female prefer to take it to the air). I dunno about pve but neil is a great crowd clearing skill that does a lot of damage. But thats from my point of view from partying with one, not like I actually play one, so I can’t tell you firsthand.
Launchers are great in pve. In pvp, female launchers actually have some interesting stuff. I have one that I go fool around with in pvp and they are not useless, but pvp wise the other gunner classes have an easier time getting at people. The biggest weakness is that they are very x axis oriented but of course thats up to the skill of the player to work with. The f launcher subweapons are pretty different and attacks at faster intervals. Like for example since the m-3 flamethrower is lower to the ground, you can otg with the f launcher, allowing something like a quantum bomb to land very cleanly and easily. The hitstun interval is also faster on the flamethrower so i can tap it and tag them, then i can follow up with steyr or a full flame pillar for very good damage.
edit: it’s up. I’m still dl patch though.
