Maybe the fire rate. But the damage was too low before. Also, the spread of the projectiles could be slightly increased. But I honestly don’t think it’s much of an issue, especially compared to the damage of the bow and combistick throw.

It still sucks if anything make it like a charged plasma caster pistol that doesn’t take your energy and does 1 shot then you need to. Reload like the movie lmao

Absolutely yes, Also the sword and bow are completely overpowered.

I’d love to see some FT gun nerfs while we’re at it again nerfing Pred weapons :)

No. Stop it.

That LMG and Hammerhead pack a punch and are fairly accurate to boot, no real point in taking other weapons until all FT weapons are made balanced and viable.

probably not at most maybe it’s reload time should be increased otherwise the weapon is actually fine it’s dmg isn’t that high at 45 dmg assuming each of the 3 projectiles hit you and you have down range so most guns FT have out dps it by a large margin

No. It was just buffed so it wasn’t a total turd to use, now it can actually kill things.

Possibly, I would say limit the total amount of ammo, I won’t use it as a Pred main because I thinks it’s cheap…

Nope.

It’s annoying but it shouldn’t be nerfed.

From someone who has been “maining” the pp since 1.06, I was very excited to see it get some love. I did not expect such a large buff in damage (+50%) since pp+stealth can really throw some folks off their game.

I used it as area denial, to force FT to move, and something to shoot while on overload. I still use it mostly for the same purposes, and now also as a deterrent for reviving.

Previously, most FT knew they could just eat the damage and would not even move or stop what they were doing. Even now I do not see how it is any better or needing of a nerf vs. the bow, at ~54 damage per uncharged shot when the pp is 45 and breaks into 3 little 15 damage particles a lot of the time.

Yes I agree on your points, but I dont like the fact that it has unlimited ammo, nothing in the game has unlimited ammo but the handheld plasma pistol…

How bout we nerf the FT medic bag instead?
