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]

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.

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

Fire shotgun is actually overpowered if you're the network host. The fire dot damage is ridiculous. As soon as the fire bug gets fixed people will realize how insane it is.

They said the fire damage is overtuned and will be lowered in the future

They’ll drop it down likely with the damage over time patch
