Fragger's new nerf to LMG makes him almost unplayable.

With the latest update and new merc fletcher came the nerf to his grenades with slower throw speed but along with that came a nerf to his main LMG from the previous patch. I believe that his LMG spread is too great.

I have played fragger since he came out and I agree that at times he has been OP but now with this decrease to accuracy you miss your opponent with every other shot consistently makes him no fun. Whether aiming down the sites or hip fire it is almost impossible to beat any other merc in a firefight regardless of range and 150 health. The only way to cause consistent hits is to crouch or stand still while firing which defeats the purpose of “running and gunning” which this game is based around.

If you want to beat fragger in a firefight just stand still and walk towards him while firing any smg,assault rifle, or shotgun. I have also tried this with a friend and fragger’s LMG misses about half the shots when moving. It doesn’t help that all other MG’s have almost no penalty for distance or spread while moving.

Has anyone else noticed this?

He seems fine to me, just aim better and stop spraying it.

If you want run & gun gameplay, maybe don’t pick a tank? He was too good at everything, now he just has to be played a tiny bit more deliberately. It’s too early to tell where he sits exactly now, but it feels pretty good so far.

gun is still very good. you need very high first shot accuracy to do well with it, and if you can manage that then aim for the head. an early headshot with this gun auto-wins 1v1s.
