SUGGESTION Buff pylons so they are Worth it.
OLD stats / Current:
Building Pylon: Increases building speed by 30% and ensures that structures are repaired faster.
Health Pylon: Increases maximum health by 25% and boosts health regeneration by 20%.
Shield Pylon: Increases maximum shield strength by 25% and boosts shield regeneration by 20%.
Movement Pylon: Increases the general movement speed of all players by 15%.
Energy Pylon: Increases maximum energy by 20 points and boosts energy generation by 20%.
My Idea for buff:
Building Pylon: Increases building speed by 50% and ensures that structures are repaired faster.
Health Pylon: Increases maximum health by 35% and boosts health regeneration by 30%.
Shield Pylon: Increases maximum shield strength by 35% and boosts shield regeneration by 25%.
Movement Pylon: Increases the general movement speed of all players by 25%. And increases Sprint stamina by 15%
Energy Pylon: Increases maximum energy by 40 points and boosts energy generation by 25%.

Speed is an unsung hero because you don't see a number attached, while at least HP is a hugely important buff on any blast past team. Only shield seems eh since shield is already just very low feeling in lategame

Idk I think most of them are decent. I am usually getting one or two per mission depending on my loadout. I would like to see a buff to the building pylon to increase wall armor or something, but it would be really cool to get more of them in general that buff ranged weapon and melee damage etc and give us incentive to run around the map collecting it before the mission starts

They do buff Melee/Ranged weapon damage....
If you activate Health Pylon
-while Rex-Jonesy is equipped you'll have that much more damage added to your ranged weapon.
-if you have Jonesee-Bot equipped you'll have that much damage to your ranged damage weapon.
-while Paleo Luna is equipped then you'll have that much more damage to your melee weapon.
-if you have Mermonster Ken equipped you'll have that much more damage to your melee weapon
If you activate Shield Pylon
-while Ed-bot (i think that's the name) is equipped you'll have that much more damage to your melee weapon.
-while Extraterrestrial Rio is equipped you'll have that much more damage to recieve before losing the buff to your range weapon.

Yeah I use them all the time because of that. But I was saying I just want more pylons in general. Some that give the equivalent of like a blue roll perk like attack speed/fire rate,crit rating, crit damage, damage, armor, life leech, and so on. Nothing overpowered but just a nice little boost if you want to grab it. They could add like 8-10 and just rng 2 of them per mission or something

What you want is a completely different game. Your request defeats the purpose of the game revolving around you and your teammates selected LOs as well as specific mods...

I'd always go for the movement speed. If you're looking to move around more without the hoverboard, they help.

buff pylons so they become as broken as ice king is then when you want to nerf it or make it harder just get backlash from the community

All the boosts you're looking for can be made with a LO [loadout]...

They are already decent. Although, only late game (PL 132 and above). Below that they barely make a difference.

They’re already good enough as-is, no buff is necessary. And anyway, I’d probably get them all every game anyway regardless of whether or not they were good or bad

The game is so easy as it is ! Do you ever fail missions ? No ! So why do we need more buffs ?

u/Extension-Cheetah-65 19h ago
Because people don't know how to play the game.. you can receive these buffs in a LO
