I think the stickyness really disqualifies the nex as a close combat weapon.

The laser doesn't catapult you so much into the air, but the acceleration is remarkable. If you want to, I can make a short video how fast you can get with a single laser shot with those new physics. And I am NOT some nexrun pro (I didn't manage to even make a complete run on most of the nexrun maps).
