So are we going to talk about how busted revolver is or are we hoping nobody notices?

Being able to 1 shot a crusher is kind of nuts…

Its absolutely stupid. Its literally as strong as i would expect the plasma pistol to be.

its a bait, not worth my time, could care less if it get nerfed to the ground, it’s not a hand cannon, it should do like an autogun, but of course would be unplyable if it did

Why did you have to say something? And no, it doesn’t just one-shot them. You have to actually build for it.

Isn’t it only one shot Crusher on Markman’s Focus Vet build? It’s pretty strong option for sure though.

Shush. It was my favorite weapon pre 14 buff, and now is even better. If you bring attention to it they’re gonna nerf it by like 80%.

You know. The fatshark way.

It’s the ol’ sniper problem with gun design in all FPS.
You make a gun that can oneshot things, people teach themselves how to use it efficiently and now in comparison to all other guns this gun seems to overperform. But if you make it not oneshot things, there is barely any reason for it to exist.

But to your point - there’s a handful of other guns that can oneshot crushers, revolver can only oneshot 5 crushers at a time.

Tbh there’s also a lot of strong stuff that’s just as strong currently so I don’t really care too much about.

Plasma Gun can also one shot crusher, can open Bullwark’s shield, have insane cleave and wall penetration. Comlumnus Mk V have insane dps and will shred Crusher if you have Onslaught. Kickback/Rumbler can single handly stop enemy snowball as an example.

If it’s only one that’s super good then sure it might be worrying. Well, inb4 all of them get nerf.

It makes you question why you would use really anything else. This is why im in favor of nerfs in a PVE game

I’m just sad it’s not a bolt or plasma pistol.

To me it’s perfectly fine, it’s a weapon with pro and cons

Plus I play T5 and I never seen someone oneshot a Crusher… it’s really rare

since some people claim it can oneshot crushers, and others saying thats rare, make it sound like it can twoshot a crusher basically always, is that a correct assumption?
do you think that should be the case? sound still quite strong to me but i don’t play it

Well, i suppose you would use something else for the obvious reasons, you know, for the sake of loadout and build variety.

I dont know about you, but i like changing things up, running the same loadout every game gets boring.

If someone wants to only play meta builds and use meta weapons then thats on them, but its not like someone is forcing this weapon into your hands while threatening to give you a smack if you dont use it.

The revolver is ok. Doesn’t need a nurf or a buff.

This weapon requires good aiming skills to master, and it is weak against a large number of ranged enemies, and I have seen more than once that the people who use it are too busy reloading to do anything.
It’s good, but not overwhelming, it’s more of a trap for the average player.

With around 5+ stacks of Markman’s Focus together with Bring it Down! or Executioner Stance and only on critical hit. Must be god roll Revoler(Handcannon + increase damage to carapace) too ofc.

this might be a, “problem”, if it had a speed-loader, but loading in a single bullet at a time is a huge draw-back, especially in a horde game lol i see a lot more people getting nutted on because of loading issues, than i see people one-shotting everything like revolver ocelot lol

I think the Plasma Pistol would have similar punch, but with much more ammo and RoF. But having a heat system.

I do think that the Revolver (Which afaik is the Medium one, so maybe we’ll get an even heavier one) isn’t loaded with normal ammo though, but rather Manstopper ammo or Dum Dum ammo (Both of which are used by Enforcer for example)

At least buff up the shotgun slug to match. Have to load one at a time…
