I'm not sure if a topic like this has been done in any other AC forum since I haven't kept up with LR. However, it's one that I'd always wanted to discuss.
The Hollow:
Here's a weapon that I've liked since AC:Nexus. But in NX, I came to the conclusion that it's too unreasonably heavy. I was hoping that they would improve in the follow-ups. So here in LR, I try again.
The Hollow has decent attacking power combined with an exceptional rate of fire. Based on experience, it also seems to be really accurate. Its accuracy makes sense when one considers that the Hollow supposedly has very good muzzle velocity. Best of all, the hollow uses a very minimal amount of energy per shot. Combined with an energy efficient AC, the Hollow can practically be used without having to worry about running out of energy.
Despite all of its good qualities, the Hollow is cursed with one very major flaw: Its freakishly unreasonable weight.
Upon closer inspection, we eventually come across the Shade. Compared to the Hollow, the Shade has better attacking power while having only 6 shots less than the former. The Shade shoots slower than the Hollow. It also uses more energy per shot. However, the Shade is significantly lighter than the Hollow, considering their similar performance.
Apparently, the Hollow seems to still have the same old problems.
So what are your opinions on this matter? Is the Hollow too heavy like I think it is? Could it use a boost in attack power? If not, does it stack up with all the other laser weapons?
So what are your opinions on the said weapon?
(Btw, go ahead and use this thread to discuss other weapons that seem to be underpowered e.g. DRAGON)
