Softdeath 22 Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) First of all, let us compare the S1-FA 'Frenzy' stats with both the Ntec and FAR.NTEC stats: Time to Kill 0.70 sec Shots to Kill 6 Health Damage 190 Stamina Damage 20 Hard Damage 19.00 Drop off Range 50mFAR stats: Time to Kill 0.70 sec Shots to Kill 6 Time to Stun 6.86 sec Shots to Stun 50 Health Damage 175 Stamina Damage 20 Hard Damage 19.3 Drop off Range 50 mS1-FA 'Frenzy' stats: Time to Kill 0.69 sec Shots to Kill 7 Time to Stun 5.64 sec Shots to Stun 50 Health Damage 143 Stamina Damage 20 Hard Damage 14.3 Drop off Range 50 m -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Conclusion:As you can see, the S1-FA 'Frenzy' clearly does NOT FIT in its category, it requires 7 STK, which is extremely unreliable, it may be the same TTK at very close range, however at medium range, trying to land that last hit is quite difficult and often frustrating, if you are in a fire fight, you mostly just end up dying anyway. the S1-FA Brothers are quite competitive and well in their place inside their category, while the Frenzy is clearly outmatched in 90% of the situations compared to his brothers, since LO is working so hard in the balance department , I highly suggest you consider a buff to this gun.

Nite 261 Posted August 16, 2018 Supposedly the Frenzy has better bloom recovery stats, but they're minimal enough IME that I still get out-ttked by an NTEC unless I get a serious first shot lead over them. If the Frenzy got sniper level initial accuracy it would be stronger maybe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe i am confused between the frenzy and rabid why would you care about firing speed if it has as much bloom as an Ntec? this is what makes it worse, its nearly identical to ntec just recovers a little faster, this gun should either get a dmg buff or get totally revamped, right now its just a weaker assault rifle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RespectThis 121 Posted August 16, 2018 Honestly the only thing that killed the frenzy was them adding that 1 extra bullet to its stk. It use to be a good gun. Then they nerfed it :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why I proposed accuracy buffs in my post above. let it take 1 more stk than the ntec but make it noticeably more accurate at base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bring health damage up to 166, from 143 Bring hard damage up to 19, from 14.3 Gun is now in line with the other standard assault rifles. It needs no other changes. Also, on a sidenote, APB:Db's TTK calculation for the Frenzy is incorrect. It's actual TTK is 0.72 with its current stats. @Speedz 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you want to talk about balance and be taken seriously, you should learn how the game actually works. It's not 16.6 damage, it's 166 damage. You have 1,000 health, not 100. Also yes, it would still be a seven shot kill. The Frenzy has exceptionally higher accuracy than the other standard assault rifles, making it a six shot kill would jump it into overtuned status.

Doesn't matter, he could be using fractional based math, and since its divisible by 10 it doesnt matter. a 6 hit kill would be worth a try at least on OTW even if it doesn't go live. The weapon consistently loses out due to the extra shot 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
