News: GU08 Weapon and Attachment Changes

[Ruffdog]

Damn and I just bought a Bull in a sale because grip+compensator felt good with a x4

[Falcon_br]

I think everyone agree that the gauss saw will finally get the nerf it deserved.
All tests shows that with foregrip and compensator it had less recoil them them t9 carv in all aspects (vertical and horizontal).
I just wish they could find a use for the sabs-13 , maybe increasing the damage to 200. Even with compensator and adv foregrip, you can't land both shots on the same target, unless you are really close.
People are also saying that the T5 AMC will finally be useful, maybe it will performe better at range them the ns-11c.
Also, there is another attachment that I don't recall having a disvantage while using it, it is the laser sight! Maybe giving away your position, but I really don't know if they do, because I use it a lot with light assault and nobody notice me because of it. Also, turning it off, doesn't make you losing the bonus! I did some tests, and looks like bugged, you can use it turned of with all bonus, I just refuse to do it, because I consider it an exploit.

Yah gauss saw gets adv grip, compensator and veolicty ammo. The other two starter lmgs do not get compensator or any ammo at all and only regular grip. Wtf was up with that in the first place?

If the grip and compensator were truly stacking unintentionally, no wonder why the gauss saw murders people with no recoil at all.

Confirmed: enemies can still see laser from the laser sight even if you turn it off

Strange, because I tested with some outfit members and they could tell when It was on and off!

Having taken my battle rifle out of storage after the last pass, only to find that it was still sub-par, I'll be dropping it in the trash now.

Which is a shame, because I like it and want it to be situationally useful.

On the test server the Carv is back to the original stats!
It got finally unnerfed!
Maybe I can call off the Terran Republic Strike!
Also, the Strike, the already the worst ESRL lost rate of fire on the test server!

"THE ALMIGHTY CARV HAS BEEN RETURNED TO ITS FORMER GLORY!? TRAITOROUS DOGS, ENEMIES OF THE REPUBLIC, PREPARE YOURSELVES."

“Remind me again what even the original nerf to the carv was?”

It was wonderful to the NC and the VS. After it happened cats and dogs got along, and the sky was bluer. An angelic choir announced it, and in that moment, that one moment, all was good. The divine ones granted unto them a true blessing, one that rid them of their tormentors in red and black, the evil ones with no name. Who went from that point unto the barren wastes from wence they came, and ne'er returned.

It was abysmal to the TR. On that day 7 horsemen arrived. And one of them rode a white horse. That horseman was death. He was played by Clint Eastwood. Money flowed into the dark coffers of the betrayer Higbous's castle. The dark ones, one with purple hair, and one a strange caucasian man, rejoiced in the triumph and tore children asunder for brunch.

...True story.

I think I read somewhere that if you turn off your laser and then die and redeploy, it will still be off for you but on for everyone else, so it seems kinda bugged.

[Canaris]

a major weapon update!!!

I smell drama.... copious amounts of it and tears of pure whine.



Can't wait to try out the weapons after this, some very interesting changes there and from the looks of it per my play style for the better muwhahahaha

Not saying the Gauss Saw isn't strong but you do realize it has some of the highest bloom in the game? No amount of recoil compensation makes up for that.

*EDIT* That being said it's the first dead on shot of 200dmg people seem to whine about.

Edit: One more weapon change. Close range weapons (above 750 RPM) are performing a little too well at long range. These will will become a little more range limited post-GU08.

If they nerf the t7 chaingun (TR) they are stupid, imho

[Koadster]

Falcon, the t5 amc was always usable. It's not a lol-no-skill weapon which is why not many use it. I love it and shud be even better now.

That's good news because I use it too. Although I wonder whether I'm stupid because I am far from high skill.

I also use the Rhino a LMG with no compensator but with 2 levels of forward grip, now to be disappeared.

Ok, I haven't bitched on the forums about this until now, but with the advent of this patch, PLEASE SOE, GIMME A RESPEC!!! FFS!!!!

Seriously, I have guns, turrets, attachments, utilities, mods, etc piling up in a discard heap that I simply do not use anymore. They have either been nerfed, outclassed, replaced, tweaked, whatever, and now I have tons of certs just shat into the abyss...Not to mention the crap that I bought before VR came out, so I had no choice but to take the leap of faith and just suck it up if turned out to be crap.

R E S P E C !!!!

I read that as the Orion and NS15 getting a buff? wut?
