AHA! I KNEW MY RAILGUN WAS RICOCHETTING OFF TANKS! High command better not have shipped us rigatoni instead of railgun shells agai- Connection terminated.

I really don't think the HMG nerf was warranted at all. It's already very limited in a longer mission without supply pack. Now it needs to waste more of its tiny ammo pool for more durable targets. Shooting Chargers and BTs doesn't feel good with it and I think I know why now. I'd up the belt size to 100 or add a spare mag to compensate for this pretty huge durable damage nerf.

[JacketVEVO]

They really need to stop sneaking in hidden changes. List everything in the patch notes so we don't have to infer and discover these things in such a negative way.

[d-jams]

The HMG getting nerfed is baffling. It was in a great position. If they don't increase the ammo for the HMG people are gonna be pissed now cause its even more not worth running and theres no trade off now.

[wickermind]

AH already back to adding pointless nerfs towards an already niche support weapon.

[InquisitorFrost]

If you could hook the HMG up to the supply pack to make it belt fed, that would make running both worth it.

[NstHarlequin]

They just can't resist nerfing stuff...

HMG nerf makes belly rubbing factory striders take too long. GiVE US BACK OUR 50 DURABLE!!!

The HMG one really sucked, because I'd often bring the HMG to supplement bug tower damage. HMG went from about 85% of the mag a tree to roughly 115%. Further just pushing all of its breakpoints to basically take the same %mag on every enemy that the MMG does. It's like they're trying to make it exactly the same in every breakpoint. Doesn't matter the DPS if they fine tune all it's statistics to just artificially mirror the performance of its smaller counterpart. That durability change stopped me from bringing the HMG nearly as much.

Quicker TTK followed by more slightly longer reloads to me, loses roughly any bonus that the TTK offers you. Don't get me wrong I love this new update. But sucks that the only real thing I consider a big nerf was one of the weapons I enjoyed because nobody ever used it in my friend group.

The only shadow nerf that rubs me the wrong way is the hmg one. It makes me just the slightest more cautious with AH. While this update is amazing in so many ways, I need to see what they do in the next major. Still, I can’t lie, game has been more fun that ever and it feels like they are mostly swerving in a completely different direction that they did before

[postman]

I unloaded an entire hmg mag into a factory strider belly. It did not kill. Also noticed gunships taking less damage from my HMG. God fucking damn it arrowhead.

[muaxh]

There's something Ironic about reading Twinbeard's post while freshly shaved lol

[Ted_Kurt]

It must be impossible for arrowhead to not nerf at least something in a patch. I'm a little concerned we'll be seeing more of these little nerfs in the upcoming patches and will slowly slide us back to where we were

[Rashed]

HMG should be dishing out big damage not becoming weaker, it’s basically a full auto AMR if we’re being realistic.
A lot of people are saying to increase the capacity but I disagree with that, it should just deal a lot of damage at the cost of low capacity, poor handling, & high recoil because that’s what an HMG is like.

[drewmantheoriginal]

Of course AH can’t put out an update without nerfs snuck in somewhere.

[Joseph-mwrl]

They can't help themselves. Nerfing is in their genes and despite pile forcing them to buff, they HAD to sneak in a few nerfs

[Multistan]

It’s not they, it’s most likely Alexus being a ninja.

[GrumpySlav]

So that's why my HMG felt somewhat wierd. They loaded it with peas. That's disappointing...

[Lakius]

I don't want to join their discord to get the second half of patch notes they forgot to include. Thanks for covering this Thicc
