Alacrity - Useless Now
Does anyone equip this upgrade anymore? As evidence of my avatar, I LOVED the new Cactus when equipped with this upgrade before. I felt it was a high risk/high reward type of SKILL based upgrade ...
@spIash_damageNONONONONONONONO!
Old Alacrity basically made it so cactus was a ridiculously good tank buster and combined with the high ttk a good alacrity cactus could've easily dominated.
As a matter of fact, Id say cactus and deadbeard are fine right now (maybe slight adjustments to their primaries and tools for mobility). Its just that the actual long ranged specialists are gutted because there isn't any fall off so pretty much everyone can do their job but not be a sitting duck at close range, and can sometimes be even better.

All due respect, I take it you’re a Turf Takeover fan?
I love most other modes and TRASH Pirates and Cacti... steamroll them, in fact. In TT, I can use them and play hide-n-seek when people come after me and see where that could be annoying but during the use of this upgrade, your 1,000% vulnerable and that’s the high risk part that justifies the high reward to me (especially in modes that aren’t known spawn points/plants on one side of the map, zombies on the other).
....and thanks for respectfully joining the conversation with an opposing view. 🙏
EDIT: autocorrect revenge
Yeah after the nerf i don't even bat an eye at the upgrade anymore.
