Infectors still havent been nerf'd

[Shada Mori]

Nerfs do not fix ANYTHING. EVER. So stop asking for them. The problem isn't that infectors are zomg super OP its that all the other guns are out of balance making them seem stronger.. I know this because just a month ago shotguns were the flavor of the month until they broke them cause people like the OP whined. The issue isn't to nerf the infector, its to make a balance pass on the rest of the weapons in the game before anything else ends up as broken as shotguns are now.

That said, one things to keep in mind about infectors... you can kill the bugs. Yes seriously. Roll backward and drop a instant det grenade, or use a gun with a spray like a shotgun on VOT LMG.. the bugs can be killed and that cuts a large percent of the damage the gun can do to you. Of course while you are killing the bugs, you aren't killing the one firing at you.

infector doesnt need nerfed u can actually dodge the damn needles..... they are the slowest velocity guns in the damn game u roll at the right time all the damn needles miss

i have feeling all those who complain are running not a single defense perk.... one of those perks makes the infector very trivial also so if you nerf the infector and you have that perk on u could probably go eat dinner before you die....

That may be the case but it is still the fact that you are doing this that leaves you an open target, either by the bugs original source or one of their teammates.
You are so distracted at times, either rolling to get rid of an infection or shooting the bugs you are not aware of other things occurring.
It doesn't really bother me that much anymore unless like half the team is using them then it can be a little bit silly.
I seem to do ok with my set up now, it was not my original set up but I basically had to go back to using cloak to hide from bug boys.

c'mon trion sort this out, they need a tweak for pvp

NO! "tweaking" them would ruin them in PvE.

NO! "tweaking" them would ruin them in PvE.

That seems to be the problem with every weapon.
I would hate to be they one deciding on balancing weapons in this game, when all weapons can be used in vastly different environments.

Simple nerf would be decreased accuracy, so bunnyhopping while shooting targed at long range would not be possible anymore.

Just nerfing it's damage will make them useless in PVE.

I guess Trion has a big decision to make, It's Nerf or Nothing! Has that joke been on here yet? Anyway I do not think that the infectors are over powered at all, the burst mod thing does get annoying but all you have to do is run in the opposite direction of the teamates that you are working with and get around the side of him, the more targets the enemy is trying to fight off the less amount they can do to an individual. I use overcharge,BMG, and an AR, I don't always come in first but when I do I prefer Dos of Keys. Experiment with perks also switch them one by one if one is not working well switch it out, I love using escape artist but displacement field just seemed like a waste. Has anyone tried feedback? Someone had mentioned using defense perks so to them I ask (or anyone with a constructive answer) which is better, Cellular Armor or Fortitude?

Yeah everyone just get better!

Just use the gun that auto aims and homes in on the target just like everyone else!

Problem solved!



lol at ****ing stupid jerk offs saying "just get better" der der der! Yeah get better at using the Auto Aim Bot Gun lmfao.

You don't grasp the concept that its not about getting better as much as it is everyone using one ****ing gun. It takes away from the over all experience that is Defiance PvP because one gun out does all the other guns and because of that everyone uses it, and because of everyone using the same exact thing it makes for super repetitive matches. Defiance PvP has a lot more to offer then what is being seen but doesint get the chance because of this crap.

And for ppl saying "get better" or QQ...you are the ones who should get better and quit QQ'ing at the fact that ppl are pointing out the obvious sore thumb known as Infectors which has basically made PvP utterly lame and boring. Ppl point these things out because they want game play with a better over all spread of things other then just a couple. And if you cant recognizes this simple concept then you ppl are everything that's wrong with Defiance.

Defiance is not just a pvp you fool why don't you whiners do us all a favor and leave

yes lets nerf the infectors again because people use them on freight yard or hows about you just stop complaining if you cant beat them join them or use something to counter do you really want another useless rpg or shotgun i for one dont pvp sucks you need to look at the big picture here when they nerf guns and make them useless it breaks them in the pve and co op element of the game which is 97% of the game and i for one do not want that i have about 12 useless nerfd shottys 6 rpgs and 3 nerfd smgs all orange so why is it fair my guns get broken to keep the small percentage of the coommunity who play 3 maps and cry happy if they nerf infectors people will use smgs they will nerf them again theyle use assault rifles and before long every one will be like butter knifes and only be able to kill by melee the hell out of them with your gun
