Personally, I only voted Yes because I don't like the idea of having unique equipment restricted to lootboxes.

Would I use a Mixmaster instead of my Polaris, though? Unless its shots can also stagger Turrets, not in a million years.

While the Mecha Knights and Almirian Crusaders *can* be particularly deadly if they surround you, I'd rather have the Anti-Turret shots my Polaris provides rather than being able to hit the former's backs with ease.

Mixmaster was a mixtake that never should have come to the game the way it is, paid or free. But the genie's out of the bottle (or box) and although it needs some undeniable adjustments, that's not what this thread's about.

A free orbitgun is for the best, under some conditions. It has to be either a Shadow Lair reward, requiring utmost skill and dedication in the game, or event-based, as the equally ridiculous cat suit is. But to keep everybody from going crazy with the fury of ten-thousand failed Book of Dark Rituals runs, it should be at least less of a luck check than the black kat head to get. I would prefer it be a Shadow Lair award because of the vomit induction that event-based gear tends to come with. Require multiple of at least Roarmulus' and Vanaduke's mats to build, plus the guild hall furniture materials you get from Brinks doing the normal versions, crafted out of some regular 4* gun, and either Normal or Elemental without status, since prize box variants tend on adding statuses and this is the "vanilla" to the Mixmaster and C. Orbitgun.

@Bopp
Overcharged Mixmasters cost about 180-240ke (450-600$) as far as I know.

@Paintool
It's not about skins in general, it's about a unique weapon with different mechanics and stats than all the others in the game. Reskins can go to hell for what I care, but I care about the unique gear to be available to everyone, which isn't only the mixmaster but also the orbitgun, celestial vortex, celestial shield, teddy bear buckler, power mitts, msi trinket.

hahaha a bunch of ftp now beggin in VOTES ftw!

The mixmaster is actually broken is several ways.

1.) Can break a vanishing block that is behind an indestructible wall.
2.) The hit registry on breakable blocks is very inconsistent
3.) When single switching or even switch shooting it has a crazy high dps against undead and constructs.

If they developers brought a mixmaster out for everyone to obtain, it would be nerfed and these glitches would need to be fixed.

Riftlocker is actually better than Arcana in LD cause everyone either have Chaos or Black Kat while Skolvers lack a lot when it comes to ranged combat (except when they have good latency) so you can just go with piercing damage :P
Back to the point, of course the mixer is broken where it stands now, it HAS TO BE fixed now or later and for it to be weaker than the original version is just unfair. Yes people farmed for it, you can just give them something to compensate for it like some new promo boxes (maybe even with exclusive colors) or whatever but you have to make every single piece of equipment obtainable in a F2P game.

Are we forgetting the old good valiance from the old meta? Arcana is just a reskin with elemental damage that makes it more viable. But valiance's use was more of a cancel weapon rather than a damage weapon like arcana is.
It still can't be compared to mixmaster. Two complete different styles of guns with different roles and damage.

Mixmaster is more of a fun weapon and also deadly if you can somehow spam boomerangs without hitting party mates which cancel the projectiles. It's fun to use and very safe and party friendly (unless they run a toaster pc) which is why it should stay the way it is for those that luckily got them from years ago or for those that can buy one if it's justified they'll use it.

I do think another version of mix or a reskin should be released in a less p2w way but picky people will still go for the OG one. That's how it is.

Ps: nerfing mixmaster would make it just another ordinary polaris without knockback effect. I think those aren't glitches and they are on purpose, the only known glitch they fixed was mixmaster projectiles being able to go through ghost walls in LD spawns. I did that and it was very annoying for whoever got caught by unlucky shock projectile. The most annoying glitch it currently has it's its projectiles being canceled when touching team mates.
