Gunner’s Zipline: Vital or Limited?

Gunner’s zipline cannot frequently be used, is as versatile, or easy to use properly. But it can solve a huge traversal problem right now.

Community Opinions

I feel like zipline on point extraction and egg hunt is almost as vital as driller on on-site refining. Being able to just thwip up to the objectives is so huge.

The Zipline Trick

My Core Stone experience had gotten way easier ever since I knew the zipline trick. And zip zooming through the tunnel that Doretta had dug is also fun to do.

Zipline Gang Hype

All my mates are horrifically anti gunner so I make sure to hype the shit out of his zip lines at every opportunity. #ZiplineGang

It is, pretty conclusively. That doesn’t mean it’s useless or never good, but it’s much more limited in its effective use than all the other mobility tools.

I think the only issue with zipline is traversal speed. Other than that it’s good.

Then you compare the shield to any other class’ ability (apart from probably grapple) and it seems pretty balanced
