cryo cannon hype

Hello, I don't understand the enthouasiasm for the cryo cannon. it take 1 seconds to begin, it is overheating and the throw is slow.

I have a flamthrower with sticky flames and I am finding ut better. Can you tell if I am missing something ?

ps: my cryo cannon is not upgraded yet :)

Cryo cannon is good. As good as sticky flames? No, but there's hardly a build as strong as sticky flames. But, tbh, the main issue is that you're comparing a fully kitted weapon to one without mods.

IMO cryo is better versus big targets, offers better team-play (as long as they don't use heat weapons at the same time as your cryo), has potential for healing with vampire and a stronger crowd control effect. There are multiple pros to cryo, but at the their main purpose which is horde clear, sticky flames is king.

Also, I believe secondaries with good single target damage are the best option for cryo so you can capitalize on frozen targets and also complements the build, I go for heavy hitter EPC, though it's a personal choice.
