Highly distorted image of something wrote: First off, as a mid ranger you DO NOT want to be fired upon. The carnage has its shields in case it gets into a sticky tempest situation, the fury can corneshoot with 2 weapons if it needs to. The raijin however needs to expose itself to get the good damage in. It can cornershoot, but a fury with that corner shooting will do better. Like I said, tridents barely work on it. The tempest however, deals sustained damage, So it can be fired upon because it will take a punch to give a punch. Like I said before, the bastion boost does not work well with short reload times unless they are sustained. If you do get fired upon, you are forced to keep your shields up or risk taking damage while going into cover. Tempests are very dangerous. If you don’t believe me, then that’s fine. I am not forcing you to not use the bot. I am only giving you advice from experience. I used to use the Zeus raijin a lot before th boost, and I rarely needed to activate it. One map I used it on was power plant, where I climb up the building, pop up just high enough to fire over it, hide, then rinse and repeat. This will not work on many maps. The reason I say if you don’t wanna boost the firepower then get the carnage, Natasha or fury, is because they are more versatile as midrangers and can work on various maps. The raijin is a complicated bot. Never compare it directly to a fury. They are completely different Except the way you are suggesting that I use it, I would not be getting full use out of the speed or the shields, so I might as well be using a Fury.

The Raijin is designed as a midranger/sniper/whatever that can deal with being fired on, that is the whole reason we use it. Trying to deactivate/activate Bastion constantly, dulls both its speed, and its defensive capabilities, basically turning it into a less effective Fury.
