D34-D (Special Weapon) buff damage? Or nah?

I not complaining about needs buffs on this weapon and I don’t mind if it doesn’t.

But thanks to this Video I think y’all can see if this weapon needs buff damage to Pred…

I mean the fact that it takes 15 shots to kill a pred on a 6/18 round magazine , it sounds pretty rough Lol

Definitely one the worst weapons to use against a pred.
But pretty useful against AI soldiers though lol

Props to @Crazyboy9YT for the vid

Anyone who played the beta can tell you why its in the state that its in. Impact grenades were FPS tanking stunlock cancer.

But if it had to be released from nerf prison, keep the bounce nades, buff the dmg and give it the stun back. Possibly lower firerate because the issue is that 2 people would take it and the ground would just explode for 10 seconds & there was smoke everywhere. It also had a braindead radius and you could just shoot it at teammates nonstop without a care because theres no friendly fire.

Yeah definitely…I like the way it is rn

I just think is needs a little bit damage increase on pred

But who knows…maybe it’s perfect the way it is

Haven’t used it but it seems more of a utility weapon for clearing out AI and spooking preddy

Yes and yes.

No way. Fuck this shit. You gotta be kidding me. Are you serious?

Yeah agree, the dmg needs a buff and also keep the bounce obviously

Do you always play 1V1? and are you suggesting that it get buff so that maybe illfonic might do it and think…well maybe we can just take out 3 players all the time and make everyone play 1v1…for a month.

Agreed that weapon needs a buff to be useful same with the AA12 but the current state of the pred needs to be buffed and better weapons ect nerfs for ft weapons need to be also established ect

My opinion based off playing with my buddies @DisturbedLlama @Idek @Scooda @Deadpool_ROX13 @Xenomorph_2099 and some with @Fire

I think a grenade launcher is meant to scare him out of the area, and if by chance it should do enough damage to get him to run.
I think it has already proved its usefulness in the arsenal. My issue is still its aiming…I think a visualizer (which highlights the hit area like in MGS) is more needed. Accuracy is a huge issue with this weapon.

Buffs are in order;

  1. give back impact
  2. make impact damage same as the timed right now
  3. buff timed damage significantly (by at least 40%)
  4. Increase timed explosion to 2-3 seconds

Done.

If it did get a damage buff the ammo count would have to go down

Impact can’t come back because it was cancer. Just 2 people blasting the floor.

Either big damage or make it a cc tool for not so big damage. Imo it makes more sense as a crowd control special weapon for pulling pred out of sprint than just another gun that deals sniper dmg that people can rapidly shoot at the floor & eachother.

Maybe add a flash grenade effect. That would make it a pretty special tool for area control.

It deals a hefty self damage. It has terrible long attacks. It 2 shots scout and recon and 3 shots everyone else except support. So throwing the impact nades at your feet literally does nothing for you. You just end up killing yourself.

This was in practice months ago and it was the worst social experiment ever. There’s no friendly fire so if predators ever in vicinity of a teammate two people just start turning the area into a 5 FPS crater.

That’s jut poor optimization on the game’s part. Which shouldn’t exclude having the GL being so poor as it is.

You can just knife the pred. You dont need a bfg

I thought that the grenade launcher was ment for controlling AI, not hunting down a Predator.
