KnossosTNC Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I'm just surprised it wasn't nerfed already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(PSN)Madurai-Prime Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 We knew this before the new stats page lol. Also, the game is easy so the nukor won't really be nerfed, it'll be adjusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesseract7777 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I have long expected Kuva Nukor to get a "this is being used to much" kneejerk nerf for some time now. This is only confirmation of what we all knew. It is by far and away one of the most used secondaries, and so DE will likely act to change that.

Voltage Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 You can't really nerf Nukor much without nerfing the entire beam weapon category. I'm not sure if DE understands that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceColdHawk Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Every time an overused weapon gets nerfed, a new weapon or variant which is even stronger than the previously meta weapon which has been nerfed, will take it's place so whatever lol.

This amount of zero-effort effectiveness is the entire reason the K-Nukor is so overused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That still would have little to no effect on the weapon's overall performance. There's a reason Convectrix, Phage, and Phantasma melt enemies, and Kuva Nukor follows suit. You really can't make a huge impact on Nukor without changing the entire beam category mechanically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReddyDisco Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Gee a weapon that has 50% more usage than every other weapon in category, i'm sure nothing bad is going to happen to it feel like i've watched this movie before, Catchmoon was the same story. i've prepared for this and have two back ups in the cedo and vermisplicer primary, NERF HAMMER DON"T KEEP ME DOWN!

And yet those three primaries are used nowhere close to as much as the Kuva Nukor. I'm pretty sure the big reason for K-Nunkor's overuse is it damages large groups of enemies passively, like the old Synoid Simulor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivaMain Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Meh. The meta slaves will quickly settle with the next brain dead meta setup. You can't stop the meta unless you remove player choice in Warframe, which is not likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkelheit Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 The reason why this weapon is so overused is that the weapon has value through all of the playerbase: - it is amazing for killing lower levels - is is not bad for killing in mid levels - it is great to spread element procs in high levels and damage enemies at the same time - it will even be used in the highest levels for its element procs So for all purposes ingame you only really need one weapon and that is the Nukor.

PhiThagRaid Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I personally despise META-slaving, yet K-N was probably my most used secondary for 2020 as well. Thing is, I don't actually use it, it was just sitting in my secondary slot for most of the year. I prefer either running with my Zenith or my melee, so most of the time I wont be using it, yet increasing its use time. I found most secondaries are just super boring to use, Kitguns(Never used Catchmoon) were fun for a while to use the Arcanes they had, but most secondaries just felt like they had no distinguishing features. A gun was a gun was a gun. K-N at least had some interesting(mechanically not really gameplay wise) mechanic of growing enemy body parts as well as linking to nearby enemies. The Catabolyst was a nice change of pace to most secondaries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it a worse ammo economy. Done. Anyways did De said something about nerfs or is this just the usual "de bad" forum circle jerk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfly85 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 The silly thing is the Nukor generally isn't even used for killing power (says the dumb bum who unironically has hers set for a crit build because 20x crit multiplier is fun). Most people just use it to prime condition overload melee builds. Eh, if it dies, it dies. I barely bother using secondaries anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
