Why are Bastions so WEAK Compared to the new Bully?
The Loot you get from the Bully is horrendous while Bastions are walking Piñitas.
But i actually like the Challenge the Bully gives, now i want the Bastions to be made stronger. The Bully has more HP, better Weapons and can run, while a Pole is sometimes enough Cover to fight a Bastion.
If the Lore behind the Bully being better at everything is that its a newer Model i want the Bastion to get a new Version similar to the Vaporizor being the new Iteration to the Rocketeer.
I want a Tank being an Obstacle, when i see a Leaper, Bully, Rocketeer, Vaporizer, even a Firefly i try to sneak around while i can easily run from Cover to Cover when a Bastion shoots at me.
Bombardier atleast can fuck you up if there is nothing to stand under, but with the Bastion you can Hide behind a small Stone or Tree and nothing happens.
My Ideas:
Make the MG more powerfull, where it can penetrate walls up to a certain thickness. For example if it Hits a Tree, half a Meter behind the impact Hole it does 40% of its original DMG
Give the Bastion a Shield it can active if it stands still or loses HP too fast, but unlike the Vaporizer it can still use its MG like a Droideka from Star Wars to remain a Threat.
Just Upgrade its Hull, it takes like 3 Hullcracker shots to get rid of any Armor Part while the Armor on the Bully, Rocketeer and Vaporizer tanks way more and they are Nimble af
Take the Bastion out of Service: a new ARC gets added that works similar but is a lot Stronger, maybe an actual "Bastion" that has undestroyable Armor so you always have to shoot the Weakspots, use Fire or a Deadline. BUT the old Bastion gets a makeover where they start to Rust, have already lost a leg or two and are mainly stationary and just Huge Turrets that drop a lot of rusted Arc Parts, Ammo and only a single Bastion Cell
I have played ARC Raiders since before Day 1 (Betas) and i dont want my old Arc to appear WEAK compared to the new Generation. Especially if their Design is to be a walking Tank but the Robot Dog can take double the Damage while sprinting
