Dmg numbers decrease the further you get away from the target. They also fluctuate depending on where you hit the target. Makes perfect sense that a leg wound does less damage than a head or center of mass shot. Also enemies become harder when more people join an arkfall to compensate, so weapons are not losing damage the enemies are gaining hp and damage. My weapons power rating have never fluctuated. I actually keep notes on my weapons, sounds strange, but it allows me to see what mods work better for each weapon. Sometimes the reload is off but that's the only issue I see, which is overcome with the Assault Class' rolling reload ability and firing in burst to time it correctly; almost preventing a full reload all together during an entire round of an arkfall. As for ICan'tAim's remark. His name says it all.
But the Detonators and launchers have the slow-mo reload times
Weapons are broken, FACT. My Accuracy/Reticle crosshair on my assault rifles and shotguns is sometimes as big as the screen. All my guns experience slow-mo reloads, especially my detonators which take an eternity to reload. I remember when my Philanthropist reloaded in super fast speeds but now it takes like 3-5 seconds to reload.
Something is messed up with the guns... Hopefully it'll be fixed with next update![]()
"Knowledge is Power" however "With great power, comes great responsibility", and so one must tread carefully with life. I would advise you not follow me, unless you want to be guided to holes in the ground and have your video game character die. I am just your mysterious guide. That is all that needs to be known down here. Defiance!
Weapons should have been fixed a few hours after they dropped the server hotfix that broke our weapons in the first place. We shouldnt have to wait months for them to fix this. We all know the new(old) content will be broken upoon release anyways and weapon fix will be put back again, just like achievement/trophy fixes that the devs keep saying they are working HARD on.
They fixed after a half year+ the one shooting archers. Awesome... Maybe just a few year and we get back our relative massive vehicles, electrocuting pulse grenades, useable weapons, working sprints etc. And maybe we get finally some lootbreak after the sieges. Till than I will find a far more enjoying contents for me and my fresh UHD tv... :-)
