Shooting a gun faster than it's fire rate is impossible, even with cheats, as the server only allows the gun to be fired at its intended fire rate, no matter how much you send inputs to the server. And yes, the gun can in fact fire 7 rounds a second without any cheats.

The VBR Huntress and Temptress has a fire interval of 0.13 seconds. And with 6 shots to kill, that equates to a time to kill of 0.65 seconds. Ntec 5 is 0.7 seconds, for example.

Good patch, except I don't see any COBR-A buffs. #BUFFCOBRA

I personally like a little bit of spice to my matchmaking. I don't mind getting smashed every so often as long as I get to smash sometimes as well.

Yeah unfortunately very common in APB and the chance of anything being done by support is very small.

I think these other assault rifles are fine but ISSR-a and COBR-A could use some buffs still. For cobra, I would recommend reducing the fire interval from 0.17 to 0.15, making it's TTK go from 0.85 to 0.75, and reducing bloom slightly to match the increased fire rate, keeping the growth of bloom roughly similar as it is now. For ISSR-a I would do a similar buff, reducing the fire interval from 0.28 to 0.25, making it's TTK go from 0.84 to 0.75. I think Ntec has dominated long enough, and even with these buffs they would lose out to other more specialized weapons at their respective ranges, but making them far more viable.

Ntec 5, Joker CR5 and VAS-R2 Rifles (including Sword) have the same stats. Frenzy kills in 7 shots instead of 6 with a slightly lower TTK of 0.69. Star 556 also kills in 6 shots, but slightly slower TTK than ntec (0.75). Ntec-7 'Ursus' kills in 5 shots, has slightly longer minimum drop off range and kills slightly slower than regular ntec (0.704). New Glory also kills in 5 shots but shoots slightly faster than Ursus when unscoped resulting in faster TTK (0.68) but slower when scoped resulting in slower TTK (1.02). And all these weapons bloom differently of course which limits how much you need to tap fire.

More buffs to bad weapons! Better ARMAS+G1C purchase rewards! Max rank to 300! (eventually)

There has been many cheaters over the years of course but so many of the remaining players are veterans that know the game in and out that it's sometimes impossible to tell them from a cheater. I've been hackusated many times in my almost 10 years of playing this game and yet I stand no chance against some of the people that have played the game for a long time.

Mack might be a yapper of Nth degree but he cares about the game. Keep it up Mack

.45 has been popular for a long time, I've used it since 2018 at least.

Some pretty insane takes here, seems like the biggest complainers just don't like it when better players than them can kill them with their secondary vs their own primary. Bottom line is, secondaries are fine. If you have to nerf .45, you also have to nerf every other secondary. If you nerf every other secondary, they will just become useless and limit your primary weapon choice even more. Or if you don't nerf every other secondary, .45 will become the useless, but it wont matter because the same people will still get owned by guns like frog. If these complainers got their way, eventually the only viable gun in the game would be 0 slot Star.

I've gotten tradelocked many times too. For me I think it was triggered by windows updates or something like that, but I've had it happen several times.

I don't know what happened to the east servers but compared to NA, EU servers usually have more than twice the players online at peak times.

What a ridiculous comment. But let's assume you're not trolling, if they did this change then they would have to nerf frog and fbw as well, as well as most other secondary weapons. Or if they didn't, the .45 would become the worst secondary in the game. APB already has a huge amount of useless weapons, and creating more of them isn't gonna solve anything.
