Was the dreiss nerfed again in SS3 or something?

I can’t hit a thing with this gun again. It feels like there is an absurd amount of spread on the first shot again. Having to practically stand still to guarantee the first shot will go even remotely near where I am aiming it. Last week I was stomping people left right and centre with no issues.

Were the recent buffs it received accidentally removed or something during SS3?

I used it yesterday and I didn’t have any problems.

Iunno, it feels like it.

Same here man. I thought it was just me because it’s been a few weeks since I last used it, but even after using it for this past week, there definitely feels like something’s wrong. I guess maybe it could be bugged if they didn’t nerf it? Or they accidentally nerfed it? I’m not sure how all that works.

It’s accuracy just makes no sense at the moment. Bullets that should clearly be hitting aren’t. I’ll try to get some gameplay footage as an example. There’s just something really off and I hope it gets fixed unless we’re all going crazy… The Dreiss is my favorite gun :frowning:

To me it just feels like it did before its last buff. Wondering if they accidentally reverted the changes or something.

I used it yesterday and noticed nothing weird. I hated it before buff so I guess I would have noticed it changes had been reversed. Still, I haven’t used it much.

If it’s not in the patch notes, consider it as a bug.

Well it might not be a bug, I’m wondering if others have noticed it too. I absolutely hated the Dreiss but after its buff it felt amazing to me, now it feels like garbage again.

yea i used to be able to rapid fire dreiss at vasilli in the 2nd floor past the blockade in bridge, somehow it wont let me ding ding ding anymore.

Now that you mention it, when I played last night it did seem a bit wonky. I certainly was hitting problems when I was really leaning on mouse1, much like it was before the balancing changes, but still did me okay. I had put it down to not having played in a few days.

Nononono. If it’s not in the patch notes, you really have to consider it as a bug and make a thread in the bug subforums about it. Devs have to be aware of any unmentioned changes. Even if you are not sure, it won’t hurt if you post something about it. If nobody reports unmentioned changes, patch notes will never be corrected or glitches will never be fixed.

You should really post that in the bug subforums. Unless you want someone else to do it, but I didn’t tried the Dreiss since the most recent hotfix. I can also move that thread in the bug subforums for you.

yee, i was trolling around with simeon only and because i was hitting a lot of head shots i decided to play with dreiss, but i coudnt hit shit with it

Been playing with mainly the Dreiss for the past two weeks and have really noticed that sometimes, bullets just don’t seem to register. I’m talking about shots that should definitely hit too. It generally tends to happen when firing quickly (not necessarily rapidly). Sometimes even the slightest amount of spread makes the bullets go completely random.

It just doesn’t feel right. It feels worse than it did before the December buff (think that’s when it was). I already posted on this thread, but I just wanted to give an update that it just isn’t working right. I’ve been using Kira after having used the Dreiss only on Redeye, and so I thought that maybe it was just because she’s a fast merc. But that doesn’t appear to be the case.

I’m still doing very well with it, but sometimes it just doesn’t want to work properly until I switch weapons.

Still haven’t gotten footage yet, but I’ll try to if I can get something to work. Anyways, I’m thinking Eox should move this to the bug report section.

They might’ve accidentally reverted the nerf, maybe someone forgot to put in a newer update? Just a thought


(doxjq) #15

Reverted the buff you mean? That’s what I was thinking, because the Dreiss feels like absolute garbage again.
