[Suggestion] New Weapon Mod For Projectile Speed?

[AmmoRejected]

There are various weapons in the game that have projectile travel time. The Ogris, Dera, Hikou, Supra, Paris, etc. I know there are mods out there that do pretty useless stuff, and there are mods out there that are tailored to specific weapons. (the Chambers for snipers, or AoE range for Chemlab weapons) I think it would be a nice idea to have one that increases travel speed of said projectiles.

 

Faster projectile speed would make certain things handicapped by projectile speed to shine a little more, but without making them hitscan... I in no way want them to be hitscan, just faster. Like the Ogris takes forever to reach a further target (but still possible, and satisfying to do) and longbow shots are, with the gravity drop, impossible to go it long-range without enemies (infested?) seriously closing the distance. And before nerfers see this as an OP suggestion, we still have to sacrifice an important build slot for the mod, which would cut DPS overall because mind you this is travel time ONLY, not firing speed. I was thinking somewhere along the lines of a 10-level mod at 9% and +9% per level (99%/100% total at level 10, same thing) which could be another of our more difficult-to-obtain mods, because projectile speed would still be quite beneficial we should have to work hard for it if it's going to alter some core mechanics of some of our weapons.

 

Thoughts?

I have been wanting a mod like that for a long time. Its worth doing, but DE for some reason just..... don't do it.

Also, sniping with a bow isn't hard. You just need practice, and learn the drop distance.

Apparently the fire rate mods increase projectile speed. It's only noticable if you look for it though but it is there just not very...effective. Honestly the bows need a special mod that increases their projectile speed at the very least.

This would be great on Supra or Ogris. Gonna look at the Fire Rate mods, see if Ogris missiles are any faster. I do use them so should be easy to see.
