Christmas Patch Weapon Notes

(CCP115) #1

I haven’t seen anything like this yet, but if it’s out of place feel free to delete @Faraleth

This is a thread dedicated to weapon discussion from the Christmas patch, nothing about the event, just the patch notes at the bottom.

Here are the patch notes:

[spoiler]Dreiss AR
-Increased damage to 27 (from 26)
-Reduced maximum bullet spread and spread increase rate by ~15%

Timik-47
-Reduced recoil by ~10%

SMG-9
-Reduced bullet spread by ~2%
-Reduced recoil by ~3%

Blishlok
-Reduced bullet spread by ~3%
-Reduced recoil by ~6%

Hollunds 880
-Reduced pellet spread by ~6%
-Increased effective range by ~6%

Remburg 7
-Reduced pellet spread by ~5%
-Increased effective range by ~8%

MoA SNPR-1
-Increased rate of fire to 50 RPM (from 46)
-Reduced reload time to 2.4s (from 2.6s)

FEL-IX
-Increased rate of fire to 46 RPM (from 40)
-Reduced reload time to 2.5s (from 2.6s)

PDP-70
-Increased recoil by ~10%

Grandeur SR
-Reduced vertical recoil by ~15%
[/spoiler]

So what do you guys think about these changes? Not that many of them were asked for, but we’ll see.

Personally still wished the FEL-IX was a more powerful sniper rifle with exactly 80 shots a damage and 1 shot less than the MoA.

All the changes to the FEL-IX make no sense and are rendered null if the MoA gets these changes too since the MoA is just better than the FEL-IX across the board with every aspect except that it does 4 less damage and 1 bullet less per mag.

Shotguns were successfully furthered into their niche of being super annoying yet not competitively viable due to limited range.

(LifeupOmega) #4

Shotguns are just downright frustrating now if you run anyone under 100 hp. I never thought we could make this weapon class even more annoying to fight.

(Frogteam) #5

Dreiss now kills aura and sparks with three bodies instead of four. So that’s cool I guess.

This is a real Signature.

(Dog) #6

The Grandeur feels super good right now. That reduction in vertical recoil was much appreciated, it’s so much easier to keep shots on target now at mid range.

I’[m not too sure why they kept buffing the damage, I have yet to calculate breakpoints. I guess this was to help get rid of Proxies and Auras more efficiently, because Arty gets wrekt by Proxy.
