Скачать или смотреть GBO2 Zaku II F2 (Post-Buff): The king of low cost stun control!

This video contains two matches I had with the recently buffed LV4 Zaku II F2 on Gundam Battle Operation 2. It is a 300-450 cost general with pretty good durability, an anti-air machine gun that can stun in two shots, two instant staggering sub weapons alongside LV4 Quick Boost. It doesn't have that many weaknesses since it is so versatile, though, its melee damage and mobility are a little bit underwhelming. This suit was recently buffed with 14000/15500/17000/18500 HP, extra custom part slots, LV4 Quick Boost alongside a new sturmfaust sub-weapon to replace its old one. This is a pretty unassuming buff at first, but I think it has genuinely became one of the best versatile generals for 300-400 cost, being quite outclassed at 450 cost though. I played these two matches at 450 cost to show how strong its kit is, it can even take on 450 costers as long as it uses its stun heavy kit correctly. I hope that you enjoy watching!

The Zaku II F2 can choose between a bazooka, a machine gun or an anti air machine gun for its primary. The only real choice here is the anti air gun, it gives you an extra sub weapon instant stun on top of the obvious midrange DPS and stagger accumulation benefits. The LV4 gun has 900 power, 6 ammo, 0.8 seconds cooldown, 10 seconds reload, 1.5 seconds swap time, 365m range and 56% stagger value. This is an excellent weapon even at 450 cost, with it being able to punch through Maneuver Armor in just two shots, this is even better at 300-350 cost where skills like Damage Control and LV2 Maneuver Armor are less common.
Its primary melee weapon is a heat hawk with 2020 power, 2.5 seconds cooldown, 0.5 seconds swap and standard modifiers. This has pretty average damage output, it isn't bad but it isn't great. It swaps quickly and has a fast downswing though, so it is easy to knock over enemies with it.
Its first sub weapon is a sturmfaust with 2350 power, 10 seconds reload, 1 second swap time, 200m range and 80% stagger value. This is much stronger than most other sturmfausts, it deals high damage, swaps relatively quickly and only needs 10 seconds to finish reloading.
Its second sub weapon is a machine gun attached grenade with 805 power, 15 seconds reload, 1.5 seconds swap time, 325m range and 50% stagger value. This has similar performance to a bazooka but the damage is pitiful and the reload time is long. You can use this to stagger lock enemies with or as a self defence tool in close quarters.

The LV4 Zaku II F2 has 18500 HP, 18 ballistic resist, 14 beam resist and 16 melee resist. It has pretty good durability for a 450 coster, it has no weakness here. It has LV1 Emergency Evasion as is standard for generals.
In terms of mobility it has 122 walk speed, 180 bost speed, 60 thrust and 54 turning speed. This is pretty underwhelming mobility regardless of what level you play it at. At 300-350 cost it has about average walking and boosting speed, but it turns a little bit slowly. It doesn't gain any mobility buffs upon level up, so it becomes relatively more slow if it plays at 400-450 cost. It does have LV4 Quick Boost though, which reduces jump charge time by 70% and jump thrust consumption by 30%. This is really useful on some maps, as it allows you to quickly take the high ground to shoot down at enemies from.

In conclusion, I feel that the Zaku II F2 has went from being mediocre to being strong after these buffs. It has incredible stagger output as long as you can hit your anti air gun shots, and its mediocre melee output is made up for by the stuns it can use while closing in on the enemy. It can quite effectively control how the fight is going just by stunning the right enemies at the right time, and unlike some other low costers, it doesn't suffer that much if the battle devolves into a cover peeking shoot-out. I can highly recommend it for 300-350 cost, it still feels strong at 400 cost too, but if you wanna use it at 450 cost, I would recommend that you just use the Zaku Machinery instead. Thanks for watching, and I hope that you enjoyed it!
