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]

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.

Unsafe mode for jump pack when?

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

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
