The KGC has claws, you can open and close them like missile door's.

Is this pure aesthetically ore douse it give the arm extra armor bonus?
(like 10% for example)
And is there a delay if u don't open them if u fire.

i have been opening them every match to be on the safe side ...

There is no delay for keeping them closed when you fire.

The only advantage of keeping them closed is you reduce the chance of getting crits scored on your arm weapons and items, such as ammo, even after the armor is gone.

And no, there is no delay when firing arm weapons with the claws closed.

It's through the quirks system that the KGC has 17 extra armor on each arm, not due to the claws.

do you mean, it reduces crit chance if your arm gets hit ore reduces the chance your arm gets hit (less big then open claw..)

Pretty sure the Claws are just cosmetic, and not functional like the old Missile Bay Doors.


Those reduced damage by 10%, unsure if that affects crits at all. Crit system is pretty strange.

No firing delay but I definitely notice my Crabs arms get destroyed more with claws open, I guess it's like the bays on a Catapult there they take more damage with the doors open..that'd make sense to me, probably the worst nerf they can do to a crab is a firing delay with the claws closed.

The claws can be forced open using the missile bay door key. Leave them closed unless saluting.
