No nerf for saws or any other weapons

[ItISLupus]

don't nerf anything or all will be nerfed soon

Regular forum visitor logic.

Item I like gets changed.
OH NO!!! My hard earned money and time building around this one item is all for naught
DON'T NERF IT! Other forum goers don't you realize, if they nerf this, where will it end!!!

Or they could make it so you look similar to DM Sniper while cloaked instead of 100% invisible.

I put in a suggestion saying exactly that, care to guess how the voting is going?

Why are we discussing real world here. Wtf can you find a bug gun in real life. That arguement holds no water.

yeah grab/make a potato gun, make a shell fill with what ever bugs you want and fire

stop telling people about the nerf im trying to sell my saw lol

I know that you are jocking , but i see lots of people ingame trying to sell, and lots of people trying to buy out of ignorance.

Let me just say this, the SAW will still be a great weapon after the nerf, not as good as it is now, but good anyway.
I wont be selling mine, at least not the ones that i like, and i even like one that is white.

Who is saying that it wont be nerfed?
I`m only saying that it wont be as bad as anyone thinks.
It will still be an useful weapon.
Don´t try to change my words.

when you have 15 million scrip, and your personal gun you just paid 3 mil for has a mod missing.....ya 200k aint nuttin

If you got that much money you farm sutro way too much. Prices are so ridiculous cuz all you guys just farm farm farm and say well there's nothing else to do with scrip go look at other trade forums no1' s economy is as messed up as Xbox cuz all the greed.

Just saying I used to play ps3 and whole playerbase is better no cheating and what not or stuff like this and way more fun (can't wait to go back

No. Because I want to keep my naive faith in human common sense and rationality.

Get over it. At least it was a guaranteed way to find a specific weapon or mod and synergy you were looking instead of grinding a ridiculous amount of keycodes. Also, just wait till the 20th.

I use the SAW in PvP, and fairly often I am the number 1 killer when I use it. I personally think it is the best weapon in the game if used properly (IE dont hold down the trigger for more than 3 seconds at MOST). I love the gun, and will admit it's not as cheese as SMGs, Shotguns, and Infectors are, but it is easy to dominate with in the right hands.

It looks like it's losing about 100 damage, I think it will still be viable. I think the biggest problem is not the SAW, but the fact that many of the other LMGs suck pretty bad. My saw is lvl 389, its a blue, and it has syphon, sure I added all the mod slots and gave it all blues, but I'm almost 2500 ego level, and it's still my primary weapon. I maxed out my LMG skill at around 1800 ego level, and have been using it sparingly since so I can level my other skills for weapons I use (Detonators, ARs, SMGs, Sniper Rifles), the highest of which is 14 still at 2500 ego level.

Using the SAW, I've been getting 1st place on damage/kills repeatedly in arkfalls and major arkfalls, and even COOP maps, since I had the gun. It is an extremely useful weapon, and is less situational than my next favorite, the Ground Pounder (which is also amazing, but really doesn't need to be touched since it is so situational).

However, I honestly feel that even though it is the most useful weapon, the SAW shouldn't be nerfed, the other guns need some buffing. The recoil on the Rockers needs to be seriously reduced, the 15% from the lvl 3 stock is not enough, it's bloom needs to be reduced, and the other LMGs need a serious damage buff.

The Vot Tachmag Pulser is another weapon that is extremely powerful in medium to close range distance. The one I have has -80 total accuracy, and it's a green with syphon, and it is a laser beam with a very manageable amount of muzzle climb.

Another example: I'm still using the EMC-22 that I got from the episode side quests with Nolan, I think it is that nice of a rifle, especially with it's fast reload.

The SAW has one of the longest reloads, the fastest bloom spread rates, and the widest blooms, it also has a very low fire rate comparatively, I figured it's damage was the compensation for it, if one just holds the trigger down, they will do very poorly with this gun, you have to do controlled bursts and allow time for the bloom to reset to be effective with this weapon, but again, if you do, it shines.

I feel it doesn't NEED a nerf. That said, I reiterate that I don't believe the 100 damage nerf will hurt the usefulness that badly.
