[CF] PVE weapons are tepid, when will they surprise us again

Hello friends, I am your spirit fox sister. The new map Mech Maze has been online for some time, during which many players who insist on playing have already received the special reward in the map - the Mecha Ripper. As a challenge-enhanced weapon that appears with the challenge map binding, the frequency of launching a new model every six months (in most cases) is only a little bit worse than that of hero weapons.

Unfortunately, although the speed of the introduction of challenge-enhanced weapons is like being hidden in the snow, each generation of weapons does not make a big wave when they appear. Even throughout the history of the Challenge Enhancement Weapon Family, there are only a few phenomenal weapons: one is the Conqueror in the Fearless Launch version, and the other is the Divine Burster, and the presence or absence of these weapons is simply two games.

Why are they so successful, and how should the subsequent challenge-enhanced weapons move closer to these two "predecessors"?

Breakthrough Dimension Wall

The birth of the phenomenon-level challenge enhancement weapon is always inseparable from this, that is, once it appears, it can dominate most of the existing maps, and in terms of output, it is beyond the reach of other challenge enhancement weapons. Apparently, the Conquerors did just that, and before it appeared, the CFers didn't even know that the original boss health bar fell too fast to trigger invincible protection.

The same is true of the Divine Burster, whose unparalleled AOE endurance has turned the old map into a cabbage patch. It follows that if the new Challenge Enhancement Weapon is to be a milestone in the history of PVE, it must completely wrestle with any existing weapon in some respects. The Conquerors and Bursters did it, not knowing if there will be such weapons in the future.

The difficulty of acquisition is moderate

Cost-effective is also an indispensable rating for measuring a top-level PVE weapon, and although the Legend series weapons are powerful, they are too difficult to obtain. Challenge the "Super Flagship" in a powered-up weapon by satisfying one of the two points of "Free" or "Extremely Low Cost Krypton Gold", otherwise it will not cause a pandemic in The Crossfire.

Endurance + outbreak + AOE three-in-one

Looking back at all the PVE weapons, some have super endurance, but lack a good one in terms of instantaneous damage; others can explode into tons of damage in just a few seconds, and then fade away. A phenomenal challenge to strengthen the weapon, the three points of the subheading are indispensable, just like the Divine Burster and the Conqueror.

epilogue

Admittedly, the success of the Conquerors and Divine Bursters stemmed from their own rock-solid hard power, but their success was also inextricably linked to the challenging environment of the time—weapons that met the needs of the map. The so-called hero of the times is like throwing a stone on the surface of a silent lake, and it ripples in an instant.

In contrast, in recent generations, challenging the weapon does not seem to give people that unexpected feeling, I hope that the next time the weapon appears on the bound map can be amazing.
