Solo and before you had strong weapons, I will say it came in very handy. Often I would hack a Hunter in a pack of Hunters or with a Harvester, I would get out of site, let it do it’s thing and finally look back and be thankful they damaged each other. The rocket equipped Runners were also very handy when turned against Hunters.
With the new Hacking dart we see even more how disappointing the hacking skill is. It is only compairable for Runners. I really hope the devs now think about reworking and improving the skill as well. Maybe with some of our suggestions.
