What do people think of the Hochfir right now?

Pretend there’s a Very UP option, the Poll saved by accident.

So what do people think of the Hochfir right now? I think it’s far too accurate for it’s clip size and fire rate, and something needs to change to balance it out. Too many high level players tend to pick this gun and can remain effective at too many ranges. I myself have found this to be the best choice on Proxy, because it’s good at all ranges except point blank.

love my Hochfir. but against a Kek at range it’ll lose it’s potential. and shotties can destroy a bit better at close range if you have the aim for it. so it seems pretty balanced as a weapon.

In my opinion it’s tied with the Kek for best SMG, I don’t mind using either. Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s OP though, the other ones could maybe do with slight buffs.

It’s in a good place, the problem is more a certain other SMG is much better than it, and the others.

Its strong, but not overpowered, is outclassed at range

Feels too strong sometimes, but I didn’t tried the Hochfir myself since a decade. I need to try it by myself before setting my mind.

hochfir aka laser

I feel as if an “effective range” reduction would fix a lot of the “Laser” weapons.

Hochfir is pretty good and makes the most satisfying dings, it is very good at medium range but kinda lacks in close and long range fights.
While others SMGs will excel in specific stats, hochfir is decent in everything and its bullet hose design makes it fun and consistent.

Only compared to shotguns, fir me anyway. Then again any things better then a shotgun.

Good smg but inferior to the kek,crotzni and smg9. Its greatest strength is the aimpunch it causes.

(nimbleIsland) #12

If it’s inferior to other weapons than it isn’t balanced.

IMO it should do slightly more headshot damage and have a smaller magazine.

Lasor weapons don’t need fixing. The movement blohttp://forums.dirtybomb.nexon.net/om on k121 and ak47 is already ridiculous. You can’t hit anything over 20 meters with your last ten bullets even with your crosshair right in the middle of their body.

(god1) #13

It’s the weakest SMG but the amount of aimpunch it produces balances it out.

(watsyurdeal) #14

It’s not bad but it doesn’t hit hard enough for me personally. Right now my preferred SMG is still the SMG 9, after that it’s the Crotzni.

Far less broken than any shotgun.
