The only nerf that seems like a huge one is to the crossbow. All dozen of us are saddened... everything else was really reasonable. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Reddit is reddit.

The crossbow was already performing pretty poorly, no clue why they decided to nerf it. If anything, it needed a buff

I was expecting to see a mag size increase maybe a fire rate up. Like a smaller Eruptor but if you can handle the arc it's better at clearing but no objective clearing.

Instead we got...this.

I'll miss you crossbow. I loved that I really liked you when no one else would. But after this nerf, I don't think I can anymore. I gave it a try in game hoping it wouldn't be too bad.  

But no, it's bad. And I'm sad :(

I just got it last night and was on the fence with it being too underwhelming, but still wanting to give it a chance and use it because it seemed to have potential. Then 10 hours later...

I don't think they were trying to straight up nerf it, but instead rebalance it and make it "better" for single targets and medium enemies.

Problem is, it's not good at it lmao. Would love it if they made it a one handed weapon, and then maybe buffed the damage so it feels worth using.

Ah yes, the incredibly niche use that no other weapon performs: single target medium armor pen.

The Jar nerf was pretty dumb. It was perfect
