Barrel Blast needs changes.
Currently Barrel Blast without upgrades is too weak as a defensive tool and with Incoming Keg is too strong as an offensive tool. Barrel has too little health to hide inside, and plants can simply ...

I would also like to note that you can activate Parrot Pal with Eggsplosion already refreshed and ready by using Parrot Pal and exiting it whenever you want. For some reason, Eggsplosion still refreshes even when Parrot Pal is not in use and this will go on for the rest of the game. This is also very easy to abuse and needs attention.
@Pheesley That makes it sound like the Barrel can become a destructive force if used correctly. Especially if you use the Incoming Keg. Maybe the developers should reduce either the speed or the damage boost of the Incoming Keg in a future patch, but not both, and increase the Barrel’s health slightly. That, to my standards, would be much more balanced for the Barrel. 🙂
Yeah can only agree. After the last patches barrel doesn't have enough health to be a good defense.
For the parrot I thought the already refreshed eggsplosion was by design. I raised here before that Cactus drone special attack should work the same to make it fair.
@34975634954957I remember a long time ago when I was chasing a DeadBeard, and they rounded a corner, used Parrot Pal, then shot an Eggsplosion immediately while I shot him, and we both died. That can't be done with Big Bulb Barrage.
I feel its a little cheesy that a drone can have their airstrike ready as soon as the drone is deployed. You could use the instant Eggsplosion to quickly attack plants near you.Edit: It's pretty wierd that Eggsplosion only starts refreshing after deploying Parrot for the first time. I think it's a bug
@TheSprinter85That is a fair change for the barrel. 1) slight health buff an
2) nerf speed or damage (probably the damage)I love barrel blast, but I don't think it should be able to one shot an oak.
@GraveledStoopid most generic of cheating character.. dead beard?
- @mikepal19 Yes. When a barrel blasts does double damage and can vanq a loaded oak, cheap/cheater. Not to mention that he is incredibly easy to use rapid fire with. So now think about scuttle shot and rapid fire, do you see a problem yet? Most importantly, aim assist with any sniper is incredibly cheesy and most use it when playing in competitive matches. I personally don’t like knowing that my vanqs are from a glitch or script that is being abused. Therefor I don’t play characters that are easy to cheat with.
Like 80’s Action Hero and rapid fire. I can eat through a crowd of plants with him. Rapid fire critical damage upgraded to give me 3 tags with one critical shot into can’t missile - dead. Cheating
