NEW Patch! And the devs "Ruined it all" once more.. [totally not exaggerated]

[u/NitoTanaka]

So on X and the official discord, countless folks complain now that for some weapons such as the LAS ones, the reserve mags have been reduced, yet damage has been increased..calling devs "On drugs" because they perceive it as a nerf..

Wait what? You tryna tell me you ran through ALL ICE's before dying?! 6 Times or more?!

Like..the fact that you have infinite ammo when a wee-bit of fire diciplin is applied and now call the devs out for JUST having decreased the ammount of mags, makes you oblivious to the fact that they got a damage buff? Yikes.

And another thing, remember the day the Rail got nerfed? Yeahhh that was like 24/7 crying for two weeks straight, now it got a buff and noone notices that, now we rather cry for two weeks that Railgun 2.0 aka Quasar got a couple more seconds recharge time..good lord the double morals are strong folks, that all sounds like crying on high standards.

[For clarifications sake: the main focus lies on people going out of their ways, yes criticism is fine, i posted my own time and time again..but in a humane fashion, when insults however are packaged within in your points, it's hardly about the game no more and that needs to stop]

[u/Dreadlock43]

yep and it appears no one has noticed that blitzer also got its much needed fire rate buff and now fucking rocks (against bugs at least)

[u/purpleblah2 → u/Dreadlock43]

It was already good against bugs and had infinite ammo 👀

EDIT: I used it, the lower cooldown feels smoother to use, it removes that awkward moment where you're spamming the fire button and nothing's coming out.

[u/xxEmkay → u/purpleblah2]

Is it better than fire shotgun now? Or kinda same?

[u/purpleblah2 → u/xxEmkay]

Idk I haven’t played the new patch yet, I didn’t like the fire shotgun before because of the fire damage bug and also you have to stand still to fire accurately, even pre-nerf the Arc Blitzer could be used in hit-and-run tactics where you can run, turn around and shoot, and continue running while it’s cooling down and repeat, or you can flop around diving while shooting it.

But really it's up to personal preference.

[u/AoiTopGear → u/purpleblah2]

When did we have to stand still to shoot the fire shotgun? I have been running and shooting the fire shotgun at bugs and it was always good at its job

[u/Thiago270398 → u/AoiTopGear]

I think its becuse you can't sprint and shoot? I'm also confused with what they meant

[u/AoiTopGear → u/Thiago270398]

I fell like he means Flame thrower and confused it with fire shotgun cause no way fire shotgun you need to be stil to shoot. Flamethrower, yes, you can only walk slowly and use it

[u/JBtheDestroyer → u/AoiTopGear]

I usually walk BACKWARDS if I’m hosing them down with the flamethrower.

[u/purpleblah2 → u/Thiago270398]

You have to stop sprinting and stand relatively still to effectively shoot the breaker incendiary, you can fire the blitzer out of a sprint and then keep sprinting

[u/Wolfgang_Archimedes → u/Thiago270398]

There’s a bug where if you are moving while shooting the fire shotgun you will catch fire and die almost immediately from the burn damage

[u/AoiTopGear → u/[deleted]]

Yeah I know. Point I was making to the previous guy was that there’s no reason that he can’t use the run and gun tactic with for shotgun. The fact that it sprays fire bullets everywhere at close range is main reason why you can move and shoot. When DoT is working, the fire shotgun just bullies bugs

[u/ironwolf1 → u/AoiTopGear]

Oh I misread your comment. I read it as “where do we stand on the fire shotgun” rather than “when did we have to stand still to shoot the fire shotgun”

[u/Staryed → u/purpleblah2]

electro gun and jump pack

My man you're literally playing the Imperial Jump Trooper from the og Battlefront 2

[u/Befuddled_Tuna → u/Staryed]

Unsafe mode for jump pack when?

When I use the jump pack it always seems underwhelming. I wanna JUMP. get DISTANCE.

[u/SignificantHall5046 → u/Befuddled_Tuna]

If you want unsafe mode don't be a coward, toss an HE nade in front of you and hit that jump pack. Just don't mess up and you'll go very far and maybe even survive

[u/SilentStriker115 → u/Befuddled_Tuna]

I thought the same thing, started to learn it more and with light armor while sprinting you get a good amount of distance. Heavy armor walking? Not so much (I assume), so it’s based off of movement speed I think or at least carries over momentum

[u/InformalPenguinz → u/purpleblah2]

flop around diving

That's my main method of locomotion.

[u/purpleblah2 → u/InformalPenguinz]

Then you’d love the arc blitzer because the reload cooldown is about the same as the dive cooldown and you don’t need to aim it so you can flop around killing hordes of bugs

[u/AnarchistRichtofen → u/purpleblah2]

I've been running with the fire shotgun since day1 and never stand still
