the other champions kept their keywords, you can jolt overloads slow them, you can cause ignitions or shatter unstoppables...
but barrier champions are the only ones that force you to use a specific weapon which heavily impacts buildcrafting and makes it to where you're less likely to want to build into volatile rounds radiant or unraveling rounds... I think we should re-add anti-barrier rounds to unraveling radiant and volatile...

I can literally one shot a anti with a crystal grenade shatter on most High content. -
Armor piercing rounds and adaptive munitions both do bonus dmg to barrier champ shields Both radiant and volatile rounds are easier than ever to activate and though they don't give the anti-barrier properties, they still do dmg to the barriers themselves Techsec 2pc especially lets kinetic weapons finally shine. Give arbalest, revision zero, and khavastov a try.

Personally I like the challenge of kitting for Barriers. It gives a loose meta in regards to viable Primaries/Specials. I love that I can just use subclass verbiage for two of the three Champs. One demanding gunplay isn't a bad thing. I'd argue it's actual healthy for the game, as it prevents infinity ability spam for clearing content. What's the point of a Looter Shooter if you can just ability spam your way through?
