Kestral9999 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 boar prime??questionmark?/? It's a shotgun that's also a rifle lol Seriously, mine is maxed for damage, fire rate, and magazine cap. That thing is like a shotgun and a minigun had a baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaintestAura Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 The ordeal that is Update 14 is still being fixed up. I think until then, everything else is on the back burner stil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noble_Cactus Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Shotguns too pls. Nothing comes in close to the the regular rifles atm. DE acknowledged that shotguns were weak a devstream or two before U13 came out. They'll get their chance too... In six months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokubas Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Am I missing something about Snipers? I like that this game has a great variety in weapons, a little something for everyone, but snipers seem like such an awkward fit. There aren't that many large, open areas in the game, which is what snipers are balanced around. Why stop, zoom in to something never far away, potentially charge, and take a single shot on a single guy, when so many weapons in this game can just walk into a room and take out half the room blindly? I don't understand how that can compete, and I can't really imagine a buff that would solve it. Snipers are founded on long range, vital shots that just really aren't that important in Warframe. You're rarely far away, and most enemies aren't so tough that aimed shots are important. Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once Bows got their well deserved buff, they were used as a head hunter weapon to pick off elites and heavy fellows.

Jokubas Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Ah, okay, that makes sense. I still think it's going to be a bit harder for snipers to pull that off. Honestly the best buff for snipers might be giving us more map variety rather than touching the weapons themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LasersGoPewPew Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 give snipers 3-4x their base damage/status chance and they could be considered viable again, as a majority of the community is just a min/maxer crowd who only looks at base stats when selecting weapons, snipers could do their job of taking out HVTs and wreaking havoc with a blast or corrosive proc to weaken armor for allies if their target lives.

RuFi0 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Just like the bows. Buff base damage or critical chance/dmg and give them innate punch through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warriorrogue Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 ^nope....constant fire doesnt make it come close to a rifle =P but yeah.....dem sniper rifles.....i miss the good old sniper rifles In range, it will beat the hell out of a lot of the rifles. Out of range, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
