Plasma gun for Redback??

As we know, Redback has gotten a nerf to vison range and isn't used much in the Spider factory, especially due to the fact it gets blocked by terrain and doesn't get a bonus for height.

Now, I would like to hear your opinions on a plasma machinegun Redback, with a bit of AOE.
I want coredevs as well
EMG:
Range->330
Damage->190
Fire rate->0.2
Aoe->80
New feature: If on hill, it gains range, but as it does so, the damage increases while the AOE decreases.

quote: Sounds like something hard to discover which also brings very little depth.

And even harder to program. I doubt that could even be done without engine changes.

If you think that Redback is a good unit already why do you want to buff it?

Another possible direction for a small numbers tweak is to decrease its model size and hit box. I think the Redback's large size is a significant part of its poor viability in the mid-to-late game.

iam for a sidearm with mini-nuke-launcher

vernom aoe feels nothing like small....

Fast firing Crabe. Annoyingly, every slot in the Spider fac besides flame has been used by the others. There's nothing that Redback can do that isn't slotted into another spider unit. Except do flame. Maybe slow&disarm

I'm for flame, and yes we don't need another Crabe, but what can the Redback do besides be a laser shooter which is bad on hills?
Machine flame guns or something, maybe slowgun? 2Lasers? Just plasma machine guns?
I really don't know and I'm the only person (I think this because I rarely see spiderfac anyway) that seems to actually prefer Redback , so I can't tell what's wrong with it. But I do say remove the laser.

I'm also for the arccaster, but what weapon type is it?

I can do what I can only do: provide shitty picture from kernel panic:
