[_-Gunslinger-_]

Also the other pistols are leaning tword the scatterpistols nitch, closer but deadlier. So you guys will fill that nich better, im betting, and we will have our respective advantages.

I'm definately going to take the wait and see approach. I'm not sure what to think of this yet. As a cloaker, the Repeater is a great little mini-sniper weapon. At close range against and unaware opponet...it does the job. Against an aware opponet...well...

I prefered the AMP to the Repeater on the following basis alone:

1) I like to sneak in and hack. Hence I encounter opponets at close range most of the time.

2) Outdoors, I prefer to lay spits, boomers and mines to do my dirty work. I use the AMP when I'm out of ACE and too far from an Equip term.

3) I also like sabatoge. Pistol choice really doesnt matter much in that scenario.

4) When forced to fight, I like to get very close and personal with the enemy. Allows more of a chance of someone on his own team killing him by accident while trying to nail me. Hence accuracy is not too high of a priority.

If the Repeater's damage improves significantly and only reduces accuracy slightly....It could be my weapon of choice as it will fufil all the above and allows me to play the cloaker-sniper role.

Glad the repeater got buffed, I use it more than the AMP now as an infiltrator for it's increased accuracy. I like the AMP but it's COF is a little large and I have screwed up a few sneak attacks recently due to the enemy reacting fast. The buff hopefully will mean 1 less shot VS agile to KO - which will bring it in line with the other weapons of the class.

The scatter pistol doesn't need a buff - I use them all the time when I can get hold of them, if you take the first shot you can normally get the enemy before they get you.
