Hexerin 1140 Posted August 4, 2019 Why does the Flare Gun cost 3,500 JT? Flare Ammo isn't a mod, it's just a tooltip to explain how the gun works. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's actually a number of weapons that suffer from this. Though i do think Silencer is debatable, The ACES mods are balance placeholders and nothing more.

Though i do think Silencer is debatable, The ACES mods are balance placeholders and nothing more. Silencer is inconsistent on this. Most cases it's a mod (stuff like silenced NTEC or HVR for offhand examples), but some cases it's an innate part of the weapon (ISSRs, FR0Gs, etc). I would argue in the cases of the latter, it shouldn't increase the gun's cost. Alternatively, make the non-silenced versions of these weapons available. ACES is another example where it shouldn't be counted as a mod for the purposes of the JT price. It's just a tooltip to give clarity between the two variants of the weapon.

HB2 on the ACES Rifle was hilariously strong. God damn they really should revert the PDW 57 back to being an ACES Rifle, or an ACES. Way more fitting. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, we don't really need 2 OCA reskins, especially when i already own permanent 3 slotted OCA. Also there should be a loyalty reward selector instead of fixed rewards, in case you have already purchased certain weapon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HB2 on the ACES Rifle was hilariously strong. I'm aware of that, I'm just pointing out that it's not a mod in itself. It's specific to just the ACES SMG/Rifle, and on top of that doesn't actually itself cause the stat changes. It really shouldn't contribute towards their JT price, as such. 11 minutes ago, SkittyM said: God damn they really should revert the PDW 57 back to being an ACES Rifle, or an ACES. Way more fitting. As one who already owns the Kris and Stiletto, and absolutely loves the ACES, all of my yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OCA atm would probably still shred your face but since its getting nerfed, i can see the ACES coming back into circulation. Idk though. Like 6 extra versions of the PDW 57 sitting in the files still.

CookiePuss 5378 Posted August 4, 2019 Making the PDW 57 an ACES Rifle / ACES remesh and it just become another gun that rarely gets used. We have enough of those already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I think P90, I think bullet hose. OCA tickles this feeling, but ultimately just can't achieve full fantasy on it. Was always something that disappointed me when Gamersfirst/Reloaded introduced their P90 as an OCA reskin instead of making it what it should've been in the first place...

Because i was around when it was "leaked" onto the JT store and prior for its launch. Everyone who did get to use it preferred the ACES stats, those who didn't use it also figured it should be more like an ACES. Also, theres the C9 SD, if that ever comes to light. So there's your whisper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really, it's still less accurate than the PMG, is outperformed by the PMG up to 40m and is basically useless at 50m. Add to that the fact that you cannot use cooling jacket AND presumably it will get the same ttk nerf as the standard OCA, and you will likely not see it nearly as much anyways. Remove the extra range and the pmg crouch modifier, and you just have a shittier OCA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since those 20m extra are largely useless, I think it'd be fine to drop them if the silencer becomes a purple mod with the same effect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
