Feldgrep Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Am I the only one who thinks that the akboltos were fine before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerLeopard Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Nerf was made probably because some players exploited fire rate with macros and such making it fire like a machine gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkpunk222 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Nerf this most overpowered weapon in the game, its much better then boltor, its super great even without supercharged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neKroMancer Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I don't see any difference pre and post nerf. Probably like DerLeopard said, to prevent Macro from abusing the maximum firerate. My finger certainly can't click any faster than the current firerate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worira Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Akboltos were pretty damn ridiculous before. This was the only weapon nerf in this patch that actually worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobucketrequired Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 It was a very minor nerf. Gorgon on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qb3rt Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I knew I wasn't imagining it! Wasn't aware there was an announced nerf but I definitely noticed a shiny new fire rate hard cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasmir Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 it was outperforming the Boltor a lot (higher base damage ad RoF) still outperforming it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qb3rt Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Definitely borderline 'too good' yet flying under the radar purely because they're pistols. They hit like trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siq6Six Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Lol I thought I noticed in issue with rate to fire the other day. Typically I would spam the mouse button as fast as I possibly could and nothing was far away without a problem. The other day I noticed it was jamming up, kinda. So I threw a fire rate mod into the mix and I haven't had an issue since. Akbolto are pretty damn impressive, and from what I've seen there is no reason to have a fully auto dual is still in place of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grulos Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Akbolto with 100% multishot is awesome. Those ancients drop withing 6-10 clicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argoms Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 It was a very minor nerf. Gorgon on the other hand... The fire rate dropped by 6.7. Its new fire rate is 60% of the old one, that's a VERY major nerf. Not that it wasn't deserved, but it was a big change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemlox Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I noticed the nerf, it was quite a bit, maybe cut in half of what I could achieve through clicking fast. But with a fire rate mod, I'm back to spamming my akboltos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altale Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 They're still great, but man that fire cap nerf made it so much slower for me to kill things now, having to resort to a maxed gunslinger mod to be able to shoot my fastest >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
