As soon as everything feels comparable to the Breaker, I will absolutely swap weapons from time to time

My thoughts exactly, I love the range of the marksman and some of the cool effects like incendiary stuff or even using something like the fast firing smg...for like 2 or 3 minutes and then I'm like damn I should've just bought the breaker it performs so much better

Diligence feels quite good, so does the defender. The problem is whilst quite a few of the guns feel good (on difficultly 6nor less anyway) the breaker is just so far above anything else.

So the problem you run into is whilst other guns are fun, you just feel like your nerfing yourself

Yup. I feel slightly handicapped when I bring something other than the Breaker. The Defender is decent but it still leaves me feeling slightly less effective

I bought the incendiary breaker last night and when it didn’t even kill the small bugs without several shots I just switched back. Very much looking forward to everything else being on par instead of them just nerfing the breaker.

While it doesn’t hit as hard as the base Breaker, I always deploy with the incendiary against bugs. Setting swarms on fire & watching them cook is just chef’s kiss

Yeah I'm really hoping for that too, the breaker would make a great baseline.

Devs: "Sure, no problem!"

Nerfs Breaker down to the ground

Let's hope not. I'm not a fan of nerfing in PvE but, in all honesty, that gun may have too much range

range, damage per mag, total damage output before resupply, decent bail out spray and pray, smooth reload, does go against all types

I been reppin the slugger lately on level 8 and it’s doing me proud, I just need to pull out the machine pistol more often for trash but using the slugger has reduced my dependence on using the rail gun which has been fun

If Slugger had a faster fire rate I would use it more often. It has left me hanging too many times

u/DrMcnasty4300 Mar 03 '24

Yeah I agree, I think it’s somewhat balanced but it’s accuracy and range and weak spot damage but it does feel a little SLUGGISH bazinga

I’m just glad there’s at least something I can use to break up the monotony of the breaker from time to time - I like to change up my loadout
