Nerfing guns that sucked from the start

[Amber Fae]

So our first big game patch will nerf most guns in the game........in PVE

Why don't the just hand us a plastic space blaster so we can shoot foam balls at the baddies.......

I agree.. its terrible... PVE? common.. PVP is were we need ANY nerfing/balancing...

[Schwa]

I'm currently leveling Infectors for the pursuit. When compared to the AR/SMG/LMG/Sniper Rifle/Pistol it's very much a LOL DIS IS SILLE weapon in PVE. I just don't see the purpose of nerfing it at all-- in PVE.

Of all the PVE changes, I have to admit the LMG nerf was needed... for certain LMGs. Too much content could be completed using ONLY that weapon.

● Lowered damage output of sawed off shotguns.
● General tuning to improve LMGs.

What? Really?

[Jack Johnson]

What? Really?

Plenty of LMGs are iffy. Only SAWs are that broken and they're getting a RoF nerf.

[Zoridium JackL]

So... Have you actually seen any sawn-off shotguns?

tonnes, and not a one had more damage then ANY of my pump actions.

[Dixa]

What? Really?

every lmg type except the saw sucks hardcore and bring nothing to the table over a similiar base damage ar, not even clip size.

this is what i'm hoping they are tuning. not everyone uses the SAW's because it's not something you can hipfire or sustain fire on most targets. it requires some skill to use, and i still see mostly AR's, shotguns and detonators in san francisco

I have no idea why the nerfed Infectors.
I have no idea why they buffed Rocket Launchers.
I have no idea what is happening.

You do realise that sawed-off shotguns shoot two bullets at once hence they deal double the displayed damage?

[Zoridium JackL]

which still put most of them behind my pump, with few doing more damage, barely even close to enough to even think about justifying the trade-off.

if it's not OHKing most standard enemies and almost OHKing most other things it isn't doing nearly enough .
