Nicocat Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 It seems like the bolts start arcing away along their path earlier and more sharply now. The gun is all but useless past about 35m or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synxxx Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Noticed that with AKbolto, the effective range is comically small now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namacyst Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 DE.. why?! Those nerfs, Forma implementation and the buff months ago only make the normal Braton better and better and everything else INCLUDING the supposed to be better Braton Vandal worse and worse. Boltor/Akbolto feels like a shotgun now with that much spread. Useless at ranges past 10 metres... srsly... i don't understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleesus Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I haven't used mine in a few days, but I hope it wasnt nerfed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptros Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Meh, not so bad IMO. These were never meant to be long ranged weapons anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keltik0ne Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hmm, maybe they should change it to use shotgun mods now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keltik0ne Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hmm, this could actually be a bug: the range drop off is comically sharp now, and I also seem to be firing straight up an awfull lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namacyst Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Bolt Weapons spread 5qm now past 20 metres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shienpoh Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hmm, I'm using the boltor for quite some time now, but I did not see any difference today, when I want to hit enemies far away, I aim a little bit to the down-right, as the bolts mostly fly up-left.

biggstobacco Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I just finished building my Boltor yesterday and even at low rank I can tell it's going to be a better killing machine than the Braton MK1. Not at as great of a distance, but frankly, I was surprised at the distance I was able to hit on the Braton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelSoldier Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Actually I noticed the changes, but then again, it is still a great weapon to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicocat Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 As a shotgun fanatic, I can't really justify using this anymore if it's kinda garbage outside shotgun distance. Might as well just bring a Strun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dat_Ash Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Are Kunai are now the best "bolt" weapons? actually acrid is the now the best bolt weapons atm, its a bolt poison gun with no travel time but it spread on long range abit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they always curved away from the aim point, they're just MUCH worse now. Go ahead, try to hit something 50m away. You used to be able to.

BadAimbot Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Personally I think closing the gap armor ignore weapons and regular weapons have would be a better way to go. This just makes the Bolto® less fun to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keltik0ne Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I shoot straight up now, when aiming ahead. It's a little distracting :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crewell Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I haven't noticed any difference recently. It's always been inaccurate while hip firing. While ADS it has decent enough accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicocat Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 Well, looks like I'm outnumbered. I still think it's worse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estred Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) Hmm, maybe they should change it to use shotgun mods now. I almost would rather the Boltor be a shotgun and the Bolto/Akbolto be effective up to 15-20m range. I tried my Bolt-built Nyx recently. I may sell my Boltor after I level it up for points tbh. Then again that was 2 weeks ago, so I do not know about recent patches effecting it. The Bolt weapons always were harder due to leading a target, though the deviation has felt large at ranges beyond 20m given most rifles I would think would have 30m range and leave the 30+ stuff (most rooms) to Snipers.
