TRIBES 3: Rivals – Spinfusors vs The Alternative Primaries

What Are The Differences Between Spinfusors and The Alternative Primaries?

Projectile Travel Arc

Spinfusor discs travel in a straight line, Bolt Launcher/Thumper bombs have a gradual downward drop off to their trajectory after a dozen meters or so.

Direct Hit Damage

Bolt Launcher/Thumper deal more damage on a direct hit than Spinfusors. For example, the Thumper deals 980 on a direct hit while the Med. Spinfusor deals 840 on a direct hit.

Possible Range

Spinfusor discs will continue to fly until they hit something, whether that’s terrain or a player. They effectively have infinite range.

However, Thumper and Bolt shots eventually despawn after a certain distance, limiting how far away a shot can be made with them.

Note: Other small difference is that the explosion radius is slightly larger on the spinfusors than on the bolt launchers/thumper. So the Spinfusors are good all-around, but the alternates are better if you can do more direct hits.
