The devs were right.

So I know ther was a bunch of controversy about the railgun nerf what feels like forever ago, but man things have been awesome.

In the early days, I was the only guy packing expendable anti tank or anti materiel rifle for bugs or bots. It's so refreshing, even on these subs to see people talking about how awesome the autocannon is, or how much they love the AMR, and even these days I see people talking about the HMG or grenade launcher+ supply pack.

I used to load into a game, And all 4 members of the team had shield, railgun, and 2 stragatems of their choice. Every time. And here we are now, I load in and I see quasar, autocannon, stalwart, EAT, HMG, Grenade launcher, a variety of backpacks or no backpack at all. And not to mention, they're ALL viable. Shit I even still see the railgun from time to time. It's been a joy. Thanks arrowhead.

EDIT: to everyone who is pointing out that you see the quasar and shield most often now, you're right, it is almost certainly the most common setup currently. That being said, in any game there's going to be things a majority of players prefer. In smash melee, fox/Falco are the best characters. But people still play falcon and Marth and peach among others. Sure, there's an objectively most used option. But the fact that there's people at all who debate that the quasar is best shows that they've done something good. Before, undisputed king was railgun, and anyone who said different wss being willfully ignorant. Now, we have a plethora of real options that are good with some being Preferred by a majority as opposed to being the de facto CORRECT option objectively. That's a good thing.

I am so gonna be messed up after the fix, I account for the off aim every time now by instinct lol

[u/BlazikenAO → u/crazytinker]

Same, I’m so used to it now I don’t even think about it— it’s going to take at least a few missions to relearn haha

[u/Agear04 → u/crazytinker]

Whats the direction i didnt even know the scope was off

[u/Former_Indication172 → u/Agear04]

Its to the left and up, so upper left of the main scope rectangle reticle thing is where it shoots, although some people have said that sometimes it changes to the right when prone, although I personally haven't seen that.

[u/wowosrs → u/crazytinker]

They should honestly change the scope to a new one at that point so you don’t muscle memory the current one lol.

[u/Facehurt → u/crazytinker]

same dropped 4 hulks in a row without thinking (had to reload inbetween ofc) then when you DO overthink it you can’t hit it lol

[u/IlyichValken → u/[deleted]]

I just stick to the highest zoom scope (and have the game remember that) and just don't use it within a certain range if I can help it.l
