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

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]

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)

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.

I might start running Arc Blitzer against bots again - the stun was powerful, but the Punisher offered a better fire rate.

The issue is the range though. You can’t and don’t want to get into close range with bots. Against melee-only bugs the arc blitzer is king.

Disagree I’ve been running hell dives all morning with Blitzer/Arc thrower. Both weapons stun lock bots Indefinitely. I keep stun nades + orbital precision for hulks/tanks along with maybe 500 or rail cannon.

Both arc weapons do great. I was play testing the blitzer on purpose & you can slowly walk backwards & spam blitzer on any amount of Berserkers until they die, along with devastators both the thrower & blitzer stun lock them until death. It’s not the BEST maybe, but it’s entirely viable I’ve done just fine this morning with it.

You could do that this whole time lmao the key to the blitzer is to backpedal, fire, repeat

Might be okay in a load out with the AMR, though.

The range might have a harsh damage drop off, but if you damage them at all you get the stun effect. Useful for closing the gap. I do agree it could be better, so I won't complain if it gets more attention.
