Gameplay discussion: single shot variants
Single shot variants Single shot variants are armed with single-shot weapons which have to be reloaded after each shot, creating a very slow rate of fire. To compensate for this caveat, the shots...

Iron Citron is extremely nasty when his mode ins enabled, and especially when one considers how fast he can fire the mech breaker weapon in iron mode! But even in normal mode, he packs a punch, and as I posted in the earlier discussion with him, I love how the weapon ejects a heated shell casing and how it bounces around before disappearing.
I liked Tank Commander more in GW than GW2, but he's a decent character. It is satisfying to get a direct hit with his mega cannon. He needs those 2 reload upgrades in my experience, and with them he's quite good, if you can aim quickly he's even better. I'm mixed with him as my aim is decent but not the best. In the right hands he's a terror.
Captain Squawk is very odd, although I like him. Long ago when asking for some buffs for him, I went into the backyard and played the regular Deadbeard and then Squawk right after, and while Squawk has a powerful single shot hit, the default Deadbeard does more consistent damage as you have much less dispersion between shots and of course can shoot more often, so does more damage over the same time frame, but Squawk has more 'shock' value as his individual hits are very powerful. The Flem Thrower isn't great, it could've used a buff before they stopped patching GW2, but it is satisfying to take plants out with when they get too close and they're already wounded. In an ironic way, he's kind of like the BfN snipers with slower, harder hitting, single shots than most other snipers in GW2, but still less oppressive to face, and more fun to play.
@Iron_Guard8 The shells being ejected while the mech breaker cools was such a good detail to add for the character.
Tank commander in gw1 was able to benefit from the half health system as he could easily put plants at half health with a good shot. In gw2 he's still good but I won't deny most my of vanquishes come from landing one shot than using the splash as both me and my opponent try to frantically hit each other.
Like you say sqwuak hits hard and his toxic damage will catch you off guard as the toxic damage can easily allow him to two shot rose or sunflower if they're unprepared but the regular deeabeard is far faster and more consistent. He's kinda like the camo cactus of deadbeards not bad but not amazing when compared to his counterparts.
