Nitronik Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 It's clear that most IR3 presets got trashed by the patch. ATAC and CSG come to mind Now, this isn't the first time it happens - but it usually was due to clearly OP weapons being brought back in line, which isn't quite the case here I don't know what LO's plans are but as a bandaid fix I guess some ARMAS presets could have IR3 swapped out for IR1, as they work out what they want to do with them? Not the best thing but it should help a little bit for the time being 4
Mitne Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) That's why I buy open slotted weapons instead of preset ones if I have choice. That way i'm protected from weapon mods changes. Open-slotted ATAC all the way, too bad CSG only comes in preset tho. Edited October 7, 2018 by Mitne

Mods in theory should only change role of weapon - not enchant it. 0-slotted weapon should be equal to 3-slotted weapon with different kind of mods. Each mod should be advantage in one area for trade-off in other. Edited October 7, 2018 by Mitne 1
Nitronik Posted October 7, 2018 Author Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Which brings us back to my point (and why I personally appreciate the IR change) IR3 HS3 NTEC - CR762 tier TTK with CR762 tier range, this preset honestly works IR3 OBIR - It starts stomping on sniper rifle territory then there's other presets where this doesn't really work and only wrecks the weapon IR3 CSG - self explanatory, even with more drop-off it's still a shotgun and it'll only tickle you at range IR3 ATAC - the gun is simply not accurate enough to be a threat down range For the above two weapons - IR1 is still far from optimal, but it'd make them more usable short term. They weren't P2W tier OP (unlike other cash shop weapons that got nerfed) so one couldn't honestly expect them to be practically destroyed Edited October 7, 2018 by Nitronik

NotZombieBiscuit Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 People buying premade ATACs instead of open 3 slot. LMAO The only excuse to this would be buying the premade ATACs years ago when they first came out before the open slot. Otherwise it is your own fault. 1

RT came later, TAS-20 with RS3 and MP3 came much later - either you got a IR3 one or you didn't get it at all
CookiePuss Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Realtalk: Guns werent ruined, guns were changed. LO has the right to do this at any time, just as G1 of old did. This is no different just because its a mod. All that happened is the final stats of a weapon changed. Learn to use your new weapon or dont... your call. 3 1

One doesn't gain any practical advantage by having IR3 on a CSG or their ATAC Nothing prevents me from slapping Heavy Barrel on a shotgun but that will do *nothing* but decrease damage

Same for the atac, no?

Crazy idea. What if Heavy Barrel decreased shotgun spread? You'll lose a little damage, but your hits will be more consistent.

It's kind of useless as is on most weapons since it takes an extra shot to kill. ATM, the only weapons I would use it on are the NSSW (HB2) and the CR762 (HB3).

I'd be interested to see how good HB would be if instead of reducing bloom per shot it instead reduced max bloom. Currently there's a lot of presets with HB3 on them that don't make a lot of sense (such as the SHAW).
