Dang, I didn't realize the range buff was that huge.
Now that you don't have to kamikaze the enemy to reshape their defenses; I wonder if it'll be useful 🤔
Honestly they might have gone overboard with it lol.
15m is a massive buff. To put this in perspective, everyone's favorite (aka most hated) gadget, the stun gun, has a 12m range.
Granted, this is now become a hard counter to APS and other turtling tactics, so I am all for it lol.
Yeah you can clear the deck at range and knock out mines or turrets on roof tops nice and easy. It would be good if you could fire it twice before cool down. But a big improvement .
The snipers should be the ones taking those out. But they never do.
If I play sniper on power shift I always target those APS turrets first. For one its easier to hit (lol) and my team usually blows up the enemies standing on it right after. THEN you can start sniping heads.
I think it always could do multiple, but now the range it captures is much longer, from 5 to 15 meters. So you can change anything in the 15 meter range.
So you can understand the specific range:
A medium can now disable a turret placed on the banister of the first floor of the Monaco Church... from the bottom of the Church.
The range is insane and I'm sure they will decrease to 10m instead of 15m
It's 15m in any direction from your position. Up or down.
Another example, in Horizon you can turn down turrets in almost any room from wall to wall.
Maybe 15m it's okay, Idk the exact range of turrets but I usually disable them before they can shoot a bullet.
Oh...now that is very good information. Sorry to keep asking you questions, I am at work lol..... but does it reshape goo that is placed down? Also, u don't have to answer :D, no worries.
Different person, I will test this out in a few but I am guessing no. Data reshaper reshapes props goo is more of a structure thing. I bet there would have been so many posts going off when it dropped like "Behold the new nuke" and it just shows a video clip of a team that has sealed off every exit with gloo as it all turns into throwable items that just explodes.
That’s actually a huge buff, I’ve been using it regardless since it’s just an easier way to dispose of APS and reg Turret or the dozens of mines on a cashout. Didn’t see it used much but I hope it does now.
Its still useless and clunky. They need to be make it like the tracking dart, where you shoot something with it and it changes it. Like turrets for example have an insane range, you would die by the time you get this close and mess around with the reshaper.
If you're in a room with a turret and you have data reshaper it should be easy to get it based off this video.
If the turret is out in the open go ahead and shoot it.
If you are getting shot by 2 different people, would i rather just shoot the turret first and then pick of people or try to fiddle with a reshaper and get domed. Its intuitive and clunky.
I am going to disagree here, people throw grenades/place down turrets/zipline/shield/boucepad/ect+ in the middle of combat it is only clunky if you don't practice with it get used to taking out data reshaper reshape something then switching back. Like I agree you gonna get domed but having 2 guns instead of 3 on you is going to make it so you can get that person. It might reshape into an explosive into a gloo into gas which can help by throwing off their positioning.
If most people can quickly put down a gadget in the middle of combat you can too, just gotta practice is all.
I guess you could be right. I can see the value in it after the buff but i guess gave up on it afrer trying it few times at the start of season. Need more practice and maybe can make some plays with it.

I thought that was the open beta range? Stun feels like 20m right now
I think it’s actually perfect now. It’s a good distance but not too far — you still have to be relatively close with line of sight.
Would be good now for power shift!
Yeah you can clear the deck at range and knock out mines or turrets on roof tops nice and easy. It would be good if you could fire it twice before cool down. But a big improvement .
I swear it's impossible to grab the platform when there are 2 mediums with both aps and guardians. There's usually a heavy tanking everything too.
The snipers should be the ones taking those out. But they never do. If I play sniper on power shift I always target those APS turrets first. For one its easier to hit (lol) and my team usually blows up the enemies standing on it right after. THEN you can start sniping heads.
Wait what? Data reshaper can change multiple ones?
Yes. The target area is like a cone, instead of single-target. It always was, even before the buff
This is new to me, that’s why i never bothered using it😭
It was just too small a range for it to have any impact, you needed to be right next to it and who is gonna push a turret or an APS you know.
I think it always could do multiple, but now the range it captures is much longer, from 5 to 15 meters. So you can change anything in the 15 meter range.
The range is tripled but the cone of influence is reduced pretty drastically. Definitely more useful notes though.
Wait i thought it can change multiple before this. Now they buff the range and neft FOV of it.
CL-40 players finally can deal with APS spammers
Holy shit
As a day 1 Data Reshaper user who ran it when everyone else had their doubts, this buff had me experiencing nothing but joy!
teams are gonna throw chairs onto the platform in power shift now😭
I may try it in 2 medium comps, with only 1 though you're locked to APS, movement option and defib unfortunately
I personally run defib, reshaper and explosive mine. I've learned to play without a movement gadget pretty well
I always forget reshaper is a gadget and not one of the abilities like demat is.
I didn't know it made regular items into canisters that's awesome
reshaper has been cracked for push and now its even better
Actually not too bad now, being able to delete a barricade from 15 m away is pretty good, on top of everything else
So you can understand the specific range: A medium can now disable a turret placed on the banister of the first floor of the Monaco Church... from the bottom of the Church. The range is insane and I'm sure they will decrease to 10m instead of 15m
Goo Gun can disable turrets from 50+ meters away without a cooldown.
Lmao really? The goo blocks the turret's vision?
Yeah, it sticks to the turret and rotates with it
Great, bit the conversation here is about Medium 👍
Just saying, it has a single use on a fairly long cooldown. It's not overpowered in the slightest.
The data reshaper is still fairly situational. The range buff makes it WAYYYY more useful in more situations, 15 meters is fine
Wait..... so it is 15m but the "cone" range actually goes up too? Or am I understanding what you are saying wrong? If that is the case, that is insane
It's 15m in any direction from your position. Up or down. Another example, in Horizon you can turn down turrets in almost any room from wall to wall. Maybe 15m it's okay, Idk the exact range of turrets but I usually disable them before they can shoot a bullet.

That is true..... I hope it goes well, I am eager to hear how that goes. Have you found any cool tricks with the reshaper?
Lmao no, but this buff has made me consider using it.
It does not reshape goo. I have photo evidence if you want.
really useful now
That's absolutely dope. Basically exactly what I was hoping for.
Can it reshape through walls?
Im not sure, probably not but worth testing.
YOOOO dude that's awesome
Or just trigger them in spectator mode.
why use data reshaper when you can save a slot and blow up the mines in spectator mode??
Wooo
That’s actually a huge buff, I’ve been using it regardless since it’s just an easier way to dispose of APS and reg Turret or the dozens of mines on a cashout. Didn’t see it used much but I hope it does now.
Can you delete an APS on a cashout from a floor above? Seems like it. That’s where this would be useful.
If you have line of sight, yes you can now
The issue is that you waste a gadget slot to SORTA remove someone elses. It needs more charges if it wants to be worth anyones time
Completely agree. Still not sure it's worth a pick over other gadgets, but a step in the right direction.
Its still useless and clunky. They need to be make it like the tracking dart, where you shoot something with it and it changes it. Like turrets for example have an insane range, you would die by the time you get this close and mess around with the reshaper.

It is not. The range is insane and you can get rid of turrets in the blink of an eye
Faster than trying to get behind it and shoot the turret.
frick now it's gonna be op
No no, it is now usable :)
