Delete the effing infector

[Decimas]

I do not care if the infector is your baby, this game will never be respected by gamers if you do not get rid of the gun that inhibits the other weapons. Run some reports most everyone on PC, and everyone non PC has infector equipped. There is no reason to use any other gun.

Lets look at what the infector does.
Comparable damage to every other gun.
Auto aim for 50 yards (max vision is like 65 yards)
Bugs spawn that chase you after the player dies
an infection that Persists for 10 or 15 seconds which does not allow your shields to regen
Constant screenshake
Constant light flashes due to infection
Infection bubble that hinders sight of everything

Other guns:
Normal damage
slight screen shake when hit

What is the point in playing this game if you continue to piss people off with the infector. Come up with something that is not so effing OP. Auto Aim needs to go. Screen flash needs to go. Constant screen shake needs to go. Bug life needs to be reduced one damage should be able to kill the bugs. Infection bubble needs to go.

Your game will die if you do not nerf infector.

I hate the gun with a passion, whats worse is now people are forming groups using the obvious annoying griefing builds. For the love of god, fix this game trion.

If someone says "griefing build" you know there is a problem. The changes in this upcoming patch have not nerfed the infector at all. In some cases they gained a buff. 10% fire rate???

I play and don't use it at all. Rarely have issues with it as well. You just need to know how to lock them down and kill them before they get going with it. True, it should be nerfed but just because you suck against it doesn't mean your opinions shared or that ya need to rage about it. Practice makes perfect.

Clearly you aren't at a point where you pvp with any regularity. Wait until that's all there is left, you'll start to pick up on the patterns and notice these things.

Honestly, I try to stay away from bashing any weapon cause it makes me feel like one of those PvP freaks who only worry about PvP and expect something good to happen from it. I do think though, that the infector could use a bit of nerfing. Like maybe cut down the damage of the bugs by 3/4 and make more bugs spawn? Or possibly less ammo for the weapon and increase the bug damage but take off the constant damage (Similar to a homing rocket launcher only less powerful.) Or even add something like the bugs don't fly all around the screen so we can actually shoot them. Or possibly make it so that it doesn't affect shields or the last bar of health so you'd need something else to finish the job.

All I'm saying is if you make a game where a bug that's as big as your foot and can only survive for 10 seconds is stronger than a rocket, you need to have your priorities reevaluated.

infectors and detonators ruin pvp for me.

that being said i use an infector because it's ez mode. i just want to get my dailies done and get out.

You are not the brightest bulb on the tree, we get that. I do not need a scrubs' opinion. Tell me, how you are supposed to lock them down from 40-50 yards away? I snipe, questionably the best on NA-PC, and as soon as one starts firing on you, the only option is to run the other direction and hope they do not follow.

Preordered this game and never play pvp for a single second. It's people like you that they nerf everything, nerfed the shotgun to ****. And now some idiot want to delete a gun because you're simply a worthless nub who need to learn to play. ****ing hate the whining *******s.

[Codename Quincy]

don't understand the shotgun whining. if you take out detonators and infectors, fraggers account for the most kills. i didn't pvp before shotguns got nerfed but i'm betting they needed it.
