New patch Killed reload time on shotguns, zaggers, heavys frc etc

[duction]

No I haven't but if there is one weapon in this game that needs a buff it's these. In rl they take out tanks and houses in this game you can just about kill a skitterling with one.

Omg they don't! Have you been in pvp against someone with a sludge or bonfire or even worse a precise chaos?! The chaos can pretty much 1 shot kill you and have a huge damage radius!

That's pvp, what about the rest of the game? You can tell they're no good because nobody uses them except to get thier ego up up and then they're packed away.
I really wish they'd make pvp it's own little entity that didn't cross over into the main game.

No, Bentu, it used to be like that but since the buff a couple of patches ago, I've dusted off the old bonfire (just mastered it yesterday). With a good load-out synergy they're useful. BTW, real life is real life, in which a Derringer bullet in the gut is enough to kill you sometime, and nobody carries around energy shields.

I actually was kinda surprised my Bonfire was reloading this fast, but checked the stats and it says 1 sec on mine, so I looks like it's working as intended. But I'll try my other launchers tonight to see if I spot some issues.

No, he's right. Rocket launchers in pve are terrible even with the buff. All the buff did was make them 1 hit ko in pvp because of the damage reduction nerf where as open world mobs can shrug off a rocket to the face.

To each his own. Chain kills and multi-kills are spamming my screen at the moment. Buff them even more and that'll definitely put a smile on my face.

Still not great. They were awesome in Beta. The game came out, and they got nerfed to the ground. a minor buff doesn't make them anywhere as good as they were or should be. The fact that PvP exists using the exact same weapon chart as PvE will keep them from getting put back to great standards.

all the sawn off shotguns have had the reload animation slowed down, the 0.2 normal zaggers are over 2 seconds to reload!


awwww mannnnn trion!!!!!!!!!

yes another ty trion good job

Just watch out for infectors and rockets in pvp now if you even play pvp. somtimes it's better the devil you know lol!

[Midori Oku]

Is it just me, or are a lot of the reload animations messed up? For example, all of the pistols in the game now reload like the revolvers, VOT Mazu Blast Rifles/VOT Blast Rifles now reload like VBI/FRC assaults, all SMGs now reload like pulsers, and the Volge Battle Rifle reload animation is now the same as the VBI/FRC Assault. You also no longer pull the bolt back when firing a bolt action sniper.

However, I do have to admit that it's funny seeing the magazines magically leave the gun, then a new one flying in without my character even touching them.

Is it possible for a member of the trion team to jump in and say if this was intentional or just a fix for a short period? Anyone?
