Finally, no more Magnus in these comparisons!
I think the Catalyzer is the best, despite the gunner update, but I got mine after the update, so I perfectly fine. Here are a few reasons:
- You can deal a near infinite amount of damage
- If your party is cooperative, then you can use your gun to spew out lots of damage and knockback
- Easy to get (RT isn't that hard... if you know the proper methods, like me.)
- Better to use in solo
- EXPLOSIONS ARE SATISFYING
However, here are a few disadvantages:
- Doesn't deal direct damage (I don't care)
- More ineffective to use in a party if your group doesn't cooperate
- Big, blue explosion can leave teammates briefly confused
- Takes more time
The disadvantages to me aren't that bad. But the time it takes... I still bring a Blaster or Magnus (<----- THE MAGNUS) along.
What are your opinions? I expect a lot against the Catalyzer family and praises for the Pulsar family.
The Catalyzer (in my opinion) got moved to an equally bad spot.
Before and after the update it had problems with parties, however, prior to the update it still had limited use in even an uncooperative group since you could still spam the regular attack like a slow knockback free blaster.
By switching the detonation attack to the charge you are now forced to use the Gimmick.

Pulsars on the other hand are pretty easy to use but more difficult to master. Much like bombs these weapons are used to clump and reposition enemies (into the nearest corner).
The best pulsar so far is the Wildfire since it's status doesn't hinder knockback it makes for a reliable weapon, Polaris is OK, and the Permafroster isn't made to be spammed (rather you fire single shots or charge bullets and prep a sword charge when you get a freeze).
