Im still working on getting most of the guns to corrupt... i will say corrupted cube gun is interesting. Im sure it isnt the most powerful gun out there, but infinite ammo and bullets that now can sweep a corridor is pretty nice. That and the cube room is some neat utility when playing coop to regen everyone's ammo without the need to use an archtype/skill for that.
Haven't used it as much yet, it doesnt have a reload/cube return time like the regular one, but it can overheat. It essentially shoots 5 large cubes if you overheat it (about 2 dummies next to each other in width) that pass through and damage targets as they travel (range - it can nearly but not quite reach the back of shooting range when in the booths).
The mod on it is cube room, a large red cube you stand in (big enough for 3) that constantly regens ammo to your reserves. It lasts rather long too. Not as useful for cube gun itself but if you use ammo hungry guns i.e. bonesaw it can be useful in prolonged battles.
I dont think it will be as useful in boss battles in terms of dps though. Nebula seems to have that beat, still need to get that one myself
Given how bad C. Cube Gun is it's clear they aren't all gonna be upgrades. But the fact that they're releasing these guns post release with the benefit of hindsight on the general meta for guns, and the fact that some Corrupted weapons are returning old weapons that are fan favourites, does mean I suspect they'll be better on average. The devs clearly just want to make fun guns.
I don't understand how that relates to battle passes though. Power creep is the phrase you mean.
They are meant to be side grades if one preforms better than its non corrupted counterpart its is likely overtuned and will see changes or its normal variant is undertuned and that will receive changes. And savior was a terrible example cause normal savior and current savior can put up very similar numbers regular savior is just harder to do so with
What? Original Savior still had much more efficient ammo usage, and the weakspot bonus, I'm pretty sure that it will outperform the corrupted version with perfect charges and weakspot hits. Just because the corrupted version is easier doesn't mean it's better
R2 is balanced in a good way that you can use whatever you want and it be good/fun. On top of that I'd imagine a lot of people are collectors and would just want to get the corrupted variants just to have them. I bought corrupt deceit but I haven't touched it.

Been debating switching up my secondary for when I do use my guns. How is the corrupted cube to use?

Seems interesting. Haven’t really switched off my apoc melee tank so support guns are nice to have.
Saying corrupted outperforms base savior is a wild take.

I read that twice where do you see anything about battle passes? Did you mean where he said balance pass
I swear it said Battle Pass when I first looked at the post so either it got edited as a typo or I'm corrupted 💀
Lol fair

IIRC they mentioned before the first corrupted set released that they wanted to spice up either underperforming or underutilized weapons.

But if the corrupted weapons weren't stronger then people wouldn't want to grind for them.

People use what they want.
