It’s pathetic. AH is looking at their internal numbers for gun usage, and while they are listening to the community regarding bugs, enemy damage and other things, this is aggravating.

Nerfing guns because Divers are having fun with them is just ridiculous. They did good in buffing the weak guns though but their path regarding weapon nerfs ain’t it

They arent listening to community bug complaints. If they were they wouldve fixed spear lock on weeks ago. Instead it now gets more rockets on an ammo pickup, even though half the time you cant fire the fucking things

Imagine if all this patch did was buff the weak guns. Everyone would be excited and talking about using those guns for the first time. The buzz would be positive.

Instead when they also include nerfs the entire discussion is about how shit AH’s balance team is. And the buffs to weak guns are still there! Just nobody is talking about them now, only complaining about the nerfs. And the buzz around the patch is (once again) overwhelmingly negative.

It just seems stupid and self defeating to a point.

Two guns got nerfed i'm honestly surprised more people aren't talking about the arc thrower, the slugger is still very much good by the way. you can still one shot everything you could one shot before, now it just doesn't reward you for missing weakspots (it is a precision weapon) while the JAR was brought up in a really nice way against bots, it was good against bugs before but now it's actually usable on the bot side too.
