It's great to know the railgun I spent my entire playtime working towards getting nerfed right after I get it.

[doxide]

The worst part about this nerf is all the other anti-armor stratagems are still shit.

[billyherrington]

Imagine nerfing the penetration of the very weapon that was meant to penetrate😮

[CamelEnjoyer]

This nerf was not the move. It's already the meta to just run from every engagement. Making enemies bigger bullet sponges further incentivizes this play style

[orphanjohn]

Look...I get not letting safe mode armor pen, but a full charge in unsafe should strip in 2.

This nerf was so unnecessary the buffs alone would have made it a more balanced meta. There are literally like 50 chargers running around on Tier 8, 9 difficulties they can’t tell me killing them with 3 shots is „op“. One of the worst nerfs ever. Thanks for making it literally useless.

[BattletheBacon]

Yeah this change specifically needs to be reverted I do agree with back pack changes but when I’m getting chased by a bile Titan, 4 chargers, and a swarm of enemies this is gonna be a real problem

[ruski]

Bruh. Nerf the useful shit but keep all the useless shit useless? Genius.

People don't realize how exponentially annoying this nerf is the higher the difficulty goes. Try using the recoilless on Hell-Dive and it becomes apparent very fast how ineffective it is not only killing the 13 chargers chasing you, but how tedious it is refilling its ammo. The EAT is useful sure, but 13 chargers and 4 bile titans is quite the drain on stratagems and means everyone has to run EATs otherwise you're shit out of luck. The railgun was definitely over-powered, but they should've increased the reload time of each shot to 4-5 seconds, or decreased the ammo to 10-12.

Look at how they massacred my boy... I'm a little upset they nerfed the rail gun, it really wasn't that op it was really just the only one that could actually deal with armored enemies. They should have just buffed the other weapons.

[mr.u]

in level 1-5 I can see why it was a bit OP, but in higher difficulties, where chargers exist in the dozens rather than 1 or 2, I cant really support this nerf, its dumb and take away a big chunk of the fun factor

[Poo_Garden]

0:30 dude, did the rail gun just ricochet off of a charger's leg!?!?!!!
Wtf?

[lholocron]

Disappointed about this nerf. i definitely prefer the arc thrower now

[djeisoncanuto]

I played this morning. I can literally see the trail of the bullets bounce off it. multiple times. its took way more then 4 shots to just stunt it. ridiculous

[winston]

I think u sum up something pretty well: "Game is chaotic, there's no time to sit and aim while melee bugs are getting on top of u"

[kaipaxton]

Even though I hate that they nerfed the rail gun without buffing really anything else to help us take out heavy armored targets, I get why they did it. You aren't supposed to take out heavy enemies by yourself. It's a teamwork game that requires good strategy, and the old rail gun meant you really didn't have to work as a team. Plus, another reason for the nerf is, I think, to make the new mech suits important, as they might be the most effective tool against armored enemies.

[GenDrake]

Yea people kept saying railgun is good after nerfs and they did their testing in a perfect one on one scenario. I was literally in the field with hundreds of bugs up my butt and it took me like 4 shots frantically running and gunning to knock off the armor. Which is very painful when there are are like 2 to 3 bile titans and like 5 chargers in tow

[US_Romm]

Thanks for this, Pipz! Glad to see someone is testing and sharing this. (sharing this video with fellow players) Reminds me of how Outriders didn't learn their lesson and decided to nerf-balance good weapons rather than buff-balance weak weapons and lost a lot of players. We'll see if it happens with this gaming community, too.

[ikunimitsu]

this nerf wasn't necessary because as you said the game is pretty chaotic specially in max difficulty

[axel]

People did want a balance patch. I wanted a buff patch. Or a bug fix patch. This change doesnt affect me much because i was running grenade launcher and EAT.
