Gunners = Snipers? Range/Damage chart coming never!

[padamlulek]

With the hector's hatred/jack's cloudmaker and the assault shotguns, the devs have essentially made the gunner a sniper. Two very long range weapons for a class that is only supposed to be good in the short to mid range. Discuss. Is it right? Is this the new role gunners should take? What would you do for a Klondike bar?

@SKIRUBY You are.

Yeah, i feel kinda OP and unfair when i use my pirate pistol.

[ChiuahuadaSara]

that pistol is good in close,medium and long range
so freakin OP
they need to nerf
we didnt give a chance to test in pte before they launch that pistols
it was a mistake i think

[simple.man]

i feel UP with the new gun for my gunner, but i think it's just me...

I think it's pretty good with the Punk LR shotty. Dual LR power, and juggling people with the bazooka can help you cope with the long firing times.

I'm not sure how well the pirate pistol would be with commandos or soldiers, but I'm content with my gunner having one.

[simple.man]

well, i think it's much handier when u do a dual pistol built, because the aim thingy on your scren is the same

[MollThought]

They'll regret
1) not having tested it on the PTE
2) giving a pistol to Gunners
3) having low success anyways due no VP option

Not atm, but soon ™

DO WHAT YOU WANT CUSE A PIRATE IS FREE!

[Tankjuh]

The new pistol is not OP at all. It's good at long range, fair at mid range and sux at close range due to the slow reload speed and the ammo capacity.

LR shotty + LR pistol for gunner?

You'd get raped hard in short range, both weapons' ROF is really low.

60 Damage from pistol, switch to Shotgun another 30-50 on top of that (up to 70-80 Crits, if all pellets hit) 2 shots from Shottie and anyone is dead. Combined with legit for extra evasion.


or Rocket launcher 20-30, air shot with pistol for another 60 and finish with shotgun.

max to 70 damage per 3,3 s I don't think is OP.You have more powerfull weapons than it.

[The_WUUSTER]

This is what happens when you don't test things out in the PTE.

Discussed to death, and nothing will be done about it anyways <_<

Welcome back.. I liked your old signature

Things tend to change if you whine about it enough times during a long time frame.
Piercing shot and grenade spam are good examples of that in the past.

I respectfully disagree

If i were a gunner who bought all these items, after the psitol fires its round, i would not wait the 3.3 seconds, i would switch to a secondary, ideally an RPG or long range shotty. Not to mention the high health and the shielding capabilities which allows the gunner to absorb damage he receives for that time.

Meh, Im just complaining. maybe players will find a good counter to this, like gunners using legit and strafing against snipers

Notice how whenever we constructively criticize the game, the blues don't say anything. But they post on every other thread. Sounds pretty shady.
