So how do you use the Epoch? (lemmy.world)

So I have been giving it a lot of tries. I have to say I just don't like it. I want to like it, but its just so hard to use. Either I shoot too early and don't get the max damage it can do or it blows up. On the blowing up the beeping sound gives to little warning. I keep hearing it and letting go as soon as I can and it will just blow up. I have some better luck in first person view, but still find it unwieldy. Am I really just in the skill issue?

I am also unsure what its use case is. I can usually get it to p 80-90% power, but it still takes several shots to kill large things. The plasma cannon fills the "charged anti-tank" role better.

It's decent at crowd control, but isn't as consistent or easy to use as a grenade launcher.

It seems like a weapon that tries to fill multiple roles but isn't great at any of them. I still use it occasionally, but I rarely think "I'm glad I brought this."

I noticed that and was not sure if I was not charging it to the max potential.

It's definitely just how the thing works. Since it has so many shots it's not as powerful as a basic EATs, but if you are used to how it works you can quickly down a couple bigguns without needing to reload and without needing to call down more (like the commando) afterwards.
