Interesting video. Maybe just slow down on calling the dev of the game you play so much “stupid”. Gives a bit of toxic gamer vibes. But very good info in that vid.

[voorachter]

I like how the game starts off by giving you the Liberator, Punisher and Defender first. All 3 incredibly solid guns you can run all the way to Helldive

[Luke]

Jar is litterally a DMR, as far from a shotgun as it gets

[anacreon]

the sickle is basically just the liberator but with infinite ammo and less recoil. Even on hot planets it is pretty viable because it is still very fast to reload if you overheat it and you get plenty of canisters.

[coomtheslayer]

I mostly agree but the breaker is way too low. It still has the exact same crazy DPS as before just with less free sustain at any range. It's still a top option, far above the punisher p and liberator p. Your stance on the balancing philosophy is valid, but I find it applies way more strongly to the railgun than the breaker.

[nex]

You didn't even mention the worst part about the counter sniper: the ridiculous, worse than AMR or autocannon, cartoon level weapon sway. It feels like a glitch how bad it is.

[raimeihakke]

Your take on the Breaker is kind of crazy imo. Everyone I talked to and most ccs I follow seem in agreement that the Breaker is at worse A tier now. No range, damage, or spread nerfs just a slight increase in recoil and 3 less shots to bring it from Top tier to C tier? That does sound more like a personal enjoyment thing.

[tomyorke]

The Jar 5 isn't a shotgun. It can 2 tap brood commanders in the head. Some of these seem to bit off. But its your list

[gabeschoenfeld]

I can't disagree more with your rating on the breaker I think it's still one of the best after the nerfs. In your video you can be seen shooting soldier bugs 5-6 times when it only takes 2-3 (depending on range) to kill. If you fire a bit slower and count your shots it still has great damage output and you're not constantly running out of ammo

[robbywoolums]

Breaker in C is absolutely wild. The damage is so high that enemies get shredded. I often fire too many shots, and I use the gun in semi auto. The Breaker is still S tier.

[DoktahLani]

So I wanna mention something that might shed some light onto armor pen. Medium Pen Weapons can not only penetrate more armored enemies but it can also allow you to keep dealing full damage to enemies. Ex. if you shoot a Liberator P at the head of the Brood Commander it will take less shots to behead it compared to the normal liberator. I feel like not many people know of this so thought I'd mention it

[ryanlim]

breaker ranked that low is crazy, it's easily still one of the best guns in the game, seems like you're just satly about the nerf from your justification of the placement.

the breaker kept all it's damage per shot and only got nerfs to it's overall DPS and handling. If you used to just spray and pray with the gun, then the nerf is big, but if you take time to aim and place your shots, you don't even feel the recoil nerf. The magazine size nerf can be felt, but it was honestly needed as the breaker outclassed all guns in the game. Now the breaker is more in line with the rest of the viable weapons in the game. You were right to point out that weapons like the scorcher, slugger and defender are some of the best in the game; and all the breaker nerf did was bring it down to that viable level.

The only people who are saying "buff not nerf" are the ones who have not played the game long enough to unlock the other viable primaries.

[TheShockington]

The knight is not supposed to be used on full auto. It's a laser beam with the best handling in the game using burst fire. With great ammo economy and damage.

[Ripperonis]

The Jar is a DMR, it's main counterpart is the Scorcher.

[hirooftedahl]

I was using the DMR's but the slugger just replaces both of them once you get it. I love DMR's but they are the worst in the game. You won't get a good shot with everything going on. Slugger can one tap anything almost anywhere that the DMR's need a clean head shot to kill. Also the slugger has 16 in the tube and you can't waste ammo by reloading. Sad that my favorite weapon type is almost useless.

[royalmaskie]

why do people keep calling the jar-5 a shotgun? am i missing something cos to me it likes like a battle rifle

[heck]

How does the breaker spray and pray end up in D tier? It excels in the range it is designed for.

[fraserc]

I love how underrated the Jar-5 is, I have been rolling with that Chadcannon since the start. the handling balances it otherwise there would be no reason to use any other gun. It's a sluggish precision weapon, that can drop anything apart from the heavily armored enemies. 

It's an easy S-tier.

After a few rounds, you'll get used to handling and dragging the weapon over fast-moving targets. (Hunters)

[MorroWolf]

Bro you're way our of pocket on some of these, the spray and pray is great for bugs the concussion liberator is a CC weapon with the ability to push back brood comanders our of sight and covers your team amazingly well and the didn't ruin the breaker it lost 3 rounds in the magazine ad has more recoil.. people are out here acting like it's the end of days. Tough shit the gun was overperforming and got a slight nerf which encourages people to try other guns which was a great decision by the devs. Your primary isn't supposed to do everything for you its got a strength and weakness which you adjust your load out and playstyle to.

The scorcher was always the best gun in the game people just didn't have it unlocked for a long time.


There are plenty of good options to choose but there's definitely room for improvement, I think the dev team lacks imagination a bit when it comes to the kit in game but hopefully they'll get there

[saramegaweeb]

You should also note the laser weapons and the scorcher have reduced noise by a lot so it's great for stealth
