Bring Back Aklato Fire Rate!

[Zectifin]

They are useless now. Why would the fire rate only be slightly higher than the single version? There are 2 of them.

[Venarge]

So you cant use a fire rate mod? I dont see the problem.

They had to tweak it due to people accusing others of using macros and simply holding down a button and rapid firing, me, I play shooters with an X360 controller, and I have a quick finger, I was still being accused of using macros from time to time, I could click and shoot faster than with a trigger button...so a mix of butthurt people who can't click fast (or have a normal/simple mouse) and those who saw macros as an unfair advantage. Which also applies to the wave dashing, again with the controller it was easy to do too, was awesome with Frost and Rhino, the only ones that I saw could use it -_- I find I can still fire the AkBolto pretty fast if I time my pulls right. Guess now some players will be forced to use firerate mods /:

use Gunslinger mod.

Would be nice if they gave the polarity for gunslinger or something.

Is this really the reason for the nerf to the Aklato fire rate? Because if it is that's utterly ridiculous....

[Zectifin]

I shouldn't have to use a firerate mod. Why should I even use it when an akbolto fires faster, or a lato is more accurate? It just doesn't make sense that having 2 only means a slightly faster fire rate. If some people are cheating, find some other way to punish them, not the rest of us.

[fuiseh]

The nerf was too heavy. I've made room for a rank 3 gunslinger and the fire rate still doesn't go as high as it used to. The gun didn't even need a fire rate mod before this, and now I need to take up further than rank 3 if I want the fire rate back up. 

[Altale]

The unmodded Aklato fires at 8.3 BPS, or 498 RPM, and I can click at around 11.8 clicks per second, which is around 708 CPM. This means that for me to be able to shoot at full speed, I'd need a rank 4 Gunslinger mod (+48% RoF)

 

I shouldn't have to be held back by an artificial barrier that is well below what is physically possible. I think a good RoF cap is 740-760 RPM, it gives room to let off a quick finger burst (or vibration if you will) but is not ridiculously high and nearly impossible for any human to achieve, like the Akboltos pre-patch (820 RPM)

I'd complain, if I didn't just flat out upgraded to akbolto.

 

Besides the bolt behavior and less range performance, it's a direct upgrade to aklato. The armor ignore on it when pistol has abysmal armor piercing mod is just really handy.

11.8 clicks per second

Flag on the play

Even Better:" No using akbolto yet ? I dont see the problem."

[BlackFox666]

akbolto is fine even after the nerf i still use it to decimate pretty much anything

[Excitonex]

My only problem with the Akbolto is the fact that I have to click so slowly to get the best fire rate out of it. I have never viewed the Aklato as a viable weapon choice since you start with a Lato for free.
