foscor77 169 Posted November 18, 2019 After getting rekt by soloing with joker showstopper i finally got the hang of it. All i needed to do was not jump while shooting it. Kills easier than nfas ogre, super fast and smooth and only for 3000 joker tickets. So all the newbies wondering what to get for the little joker tickets they have saved, Get Joker store showstopper. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Almost like guns aren't generally as accurate while jumping, aside from most shotguns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flaws 1033 Posted November 20, 2019 The Showstopper and all of it's variants are so so broken, we don't need you to encourage more silvers to get one and turn gold overnight. Instead, it needs a nerf. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or the speed of the base Showstopper. I fail to understand how it can be considered balanced at all. It is literally, the new Yukon. Every silver who had a Yukon before, now has a showstopper.

DeadPixels 253 Posted November 20, 2019 I tried the Showstopper from the armas marketplace and with it i could easily beat oca in close open range all the time. The weapon is like a secondary Nfas, clearly it needs some adjustments Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or the speed of the base Showstopper. I fail to understand how it can be considered balanced at all. the thunder is a shredder with a lower ttk, despite being decent it does still fit into the secondary weapon design ethos i would be fine with a spread adjustment, ideally the thunder should have slightly less accurate pellet spread than the shredder as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not unbalanced, even from facing it and using it a number of times, I can't say it's broke. Forgiving? yes, however it's ttk still jumps to 4-5 hit kills fairly often past 5m making it 1s+ ttk. If it were broke, it would be far more powerful than what it is. I own one and I still find the fr0g and .45 more useful than either the showstopper or thunder, even with them both being good weapons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darkzero3802 611 Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Ive beaten the showstopper plenty of times with the JG. You can get the 2nd shot off before the showstopper gets its third off. Pending hitreg decides to work the persons dead and cant get that 3rd showstopper kill shot off. When the shottie nerf comes along and they make it 3 shot to kill min you may have problems.

Yes it's not effective at kills past 5m, showstopper's ttk drastically increases to get kills past that generally to 4-6 shots. NFA has a very fast reload and generally 1 mag per kill. Showstopper can get 2 however nfa's reload is more friendly than showstoppers and you can't miss with the showstopper. NFA is full auto vs Semi auto. NFA mag dumps faster than the showstopper. Showstopper is/should to lose sub 5m against the NFA. Showstopper past 5m is on better grounds of winning. NFA ironically also has a 30m full damage range, in comparison to showstopper's 10. Showstoppers ttk gap barely matters against shotguns, it is roughly on par with other "competitive" pistols such as the fr0g series (which is arguably much better than the showstopper within showstopper range if you don't account for 1/3 life damage and go for ttk and rof when tagged) and the .45 which is also very effective but not nearly as forgiving. If the shotgun takes 3 hits to kill, all 3 pistols have a very good chance of finishing off the shotgun before the third shot. OFC people prefer the FBW (which is why i find the .45 and fr0g kokoe much better due to ttk and accuracy). So bringing primary shotguns into this has little meaning, considering that the last 3 cqc? Pistols created aside from JB funzies or harbinger, aka frog, .45, and showstopper, all have low TTKS. .7-.8 respectively and are exceedingly able to finish off a shotgun that misses once. iHe's not saying that they don't hit min TTK. I use showstopper at times, and it hits min ttk, however it exeedingly depends on my range. It's spread is large so past like 5m the TTK increases from .7 (which I don't macro so it's closer to .8-.9 or so for the ttk without accounting for missing and spread increasing STK) which is also a balanced ttk for the range its in. Even then using a JG and timing 2 shots, is easier than 3. The idea that cqc based pistols shouldn't be effective in cqc is asinine. There has to be pistols that can be able to be used as a backup for weapon's that cannot effectively be used in cqc, such as snipers. .45, fr0g, and now showstopper, fill that role without making the player have to essentially just die. Their ranges are limited for reason (aside from .45, but it's slight recoil and low mag balance it's range) Edited November 21, 2019 by Noob_Guardian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The things is that cqc secundaries should be as good as long range secundaries, u cant compare the efectiveness of the showstopper compare to the act44 even with the recent buff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
