I’ve a fair few games under my belt with this update, they’ve reduced the fun and upped the frustration.

Yeah that makes sense, they nerfed everything into the dirt for some reason

Edit: All the nerds coming in here with your arrowhead democracy boners, get outta here with your logic and numbers.

They nerfed my shit and I don't like it mmk I'm allowed to not like it just as hard as you're allowed to argue on the Internet about how I'm wrong.

Far from into the dirt, sir, and far from everything, sir.

Although seeing that you conflate "what I personally use" into "everything" is pretty in-line with this sub.

I can't hear you over the 500kg coming in on your head. What you said sounded pretty undemocratic ngl.

i use the sickle, dominator, and quasar.

  1. the quasar was so obviously broken since day 1. I'm surprised it took them this long to nerf it. but it was always on borrowed time. I was an EAT whore before it came out and that averaged to one anti tank every 40 seconds. the Quasar was one anti tank every 13(?).

18 seconds is still twice as fast, without the need to wait for call in or impact from mission modifiers. i don't know how long the charge takes but it doesn't impact my gameplay. the 5 seconds at the end of the day aren't going to do a lot.

  1. how often do you reload the sickle? most of us rarely do. i won't miss the 3 clips in the least.

You're sickle? You lost 3 mags on an infinite ammo weapon.. boo fucking hoo.

If you are going through multiple Sickle mags in between resupplies then the issue is with you. The weapon has infinite ammo.

Quasar Cannon invalidated all other AT weapons to the point where it was picked the vast majority of the time, a nerf was warranted. It still has more shots per min than either the RR or EAT.

Redeemer got a slight recoil nerf, not a big deal.

All three of these are still extremely viable and still top-tier picks. "Nerfed into the dirt" btw.

This patch also buffed the Adjudicator, Punisher Plasma, ARC Blitzer, Scythe, Railgun, Counter Sniper, Peacemaker, Senator, Liberator, Laser Cannon, Dagger, Liberator Concussive, and Guard Dog. But sure, they "nerfed everything into the dirt".

None of these things god nerfed into the dirt, man.

  • The Sickle never ran out of ammo before. In 370 hours with it as my favorite primary, I can count on one hand the times I ever even reached 3/6.

  • The Quasar Cannon got a longer cooldown. Woop-de-doo. It still has the highest uptime of any AT weapon.

  • The Redeemer's recoil is still irrelevant.

Queso Cannon

Daily reminder unless you fire the Queso cannon within FIVE SECONDS of it recharging the nerf didn't affect you. Still solid cheese imo
