dutchman Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 How should I use the mining laser? I can shoot with it, but there are apparently no results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirevam Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Using it to kill monsters is the best use for it. It can drill walls but it takes forever and costs energy crystals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenyx Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 You can use it to kill monsters, but the mobile laser cutters and the Chrome Crusher are better for that. And of course, even those pale in comparison to electric fences and laser beam armed raiders. You could use it to drill hard to reach areas (like across lava or water without anywhere to land a tunnel scout), but there's several issues with that. 1. It takes too long. 2. It uses up energy crystals. 3. You're better off with a mobile laser cutter or a Chrome Crusher for this purpose. 4. This is only useful in one or two custom maps where it is required to do so (mainly a handful in Baz's Mod). Basically, the mining laser is useless. I personally don't consider it the most useless since it can be used if you don't want to bother with vehicles or don't have the space for a super teleport, but it's completely outclassed by the laser cutters and the chrome crusher anyway.
