Vanu shotguns with slugs are just flat out better than TR and NC. - Page 4

I'd love to find these players then because either A: Connery is lacking in them or B: They're all on the NC in which case I guess I'm in a bad spot.

I have never even seen a shotgun slug "sniper"

Is that actually a thing?

It was until they nerfed slugs.

I did it, as NC. It's insanely effective against anyone dumb enough to stand still for 2 seconds. Didn't even realize VS dont have drop...doh!

Gotta get me my new sniper shotgun for my VS-guy, now.

Well OP got his way

Now VS have the slowest slugs with drop

Inho this is the most balance breaking thing in PU2

Aye the VS having to actually deal with bullet drop =0 their guns were based around the idea of being noob friendly so all the new players would have a faction to play before moving to TR or NC when they got good (or staying VS if they never did).

It seems unfair to balance the guns so that VS shotguns aren't just way better

Ups

You are right, great god of smurfs

We Vanu deserves the worst slugs, after feasting on these fram slugs for so long

And yes

No bullet drop and a little less recoil, is way better than 10 more in the mag

the recoil in this game drives me carzy

Well guess what, now they are the worst. In addition to having bullet drop, they now have the lowest velocity as well.
OP took an extremely niche playstyle that almost doesn't exist, made it a huge issue, and SOE in their typical kneejerk reaction nerf style, made it the worst.
And for what? No good and serious player I know even uses slugs.

This was such a non issue.

War Barney · 2013-12-17, 07:52 PM

They aren't the worst you just need to actually try to use them properly now

Papa Vanu will you damn your Scattermax slugs

Those things are about the most game breaking thing about the Scattermax

Just wait until SOE will stomp them into the ground because of the outcry from the players

You think they will nerf 1 of the most underpowered things in the game? or are you one of those people whos been brainwashed so completely that you actually believe the NC MAX and every gun it has isn't the worst thing in the entire world. I would rather buy a pointed stick with those resource points than a NC MAX

Ok you got me there

You win this retoric duel of the sword, my God of Smurfs
