    The only neat animations MCH have are Clean Shot and Ricochet. If you used animations of all other abilities and took the names out, I would have no idea which is which. If there is some animation on Wildfire, I am not seeing it.

    I also mentioned this in another thread, but the Gauss Barrel stance would of been better looking if there was no attachment to it and maybe have the device on your side light up. The aether being fed from it requires a charge since it takes more than the usual amount, but more damage in return. Could of made it work with lore and does not devalue the aesthetic of the gun. That is just opinion though, some probably like the GB aesthetic on the gun.

    Its just funny DRK and AST got all these really cool animations and MCH got little to none. If SE will ever update this seems unlikely, but I have been wrong before.

    Well considering they had to scrap a lot the initial ideas they had for MCH (like the attachments and ammo), they'd have to double time it to salvage whatever aesthetics they can. Still kind of a cop out excuse though imo since they opted out with using the same GB model and lunchbox model for every, single, gun.

    Even with the animations, it suffers a bit of the same problem as BRD since a lot of them clip onto each other and never really finishes. The animation for Gauss Round is actually pretty nice when you notice the spark effects from your lunch box, but both the impact animation and the spark don't play (or gets cut off abruptly) with an instant cast or another oGCD. Same with pretty much any other ability that isn't ricochet, even the sound cuts off for something like Misery's End/Heartbreaker if you use another skill and cancel it's full animation.
