4sk Magnum

Anyone else feel this is a little off?

I just got done abusing the hell out of it in Zero Bloom with 20 kills exclusively with it, and in 85% settings, it still trumps the AR for most things since it still breaks shields just as fast, as well as being able to kill on the 4th shot now.

I don’t think a 4sk Pistol is in the TU, maybe this is a side effect from Bleed-Through?

It could be. I’ve played some customs and there were times that the DMR would go 4sk or 5sk. Same thing happened with the Magnum.

Yeah, weapon damage output wasn’t changed.

What you’re experiencing is the problem with Bleed-Through and why Bungie removed it to begin with.

Just got off work and tried again.
Definitely a 4 shot still. It hurts your health now into yellow as it goes through the shields if the 4th shot isn’t to the head. So the damage was increased.

The DMR from what I’ve seen still takes 5 shots like normal, with 4 only taking the shields down.
However it will still score a headshot if you shoot someone who has just started to regenerate their shields.

I like that a lot more personally than straight up taking one less shot like the magnum seems to do now, since that seems to be messing with everything else, same with the Needle Rifle.

Indeed.

I’m telling ya, the power was changed, try it yourself against a guest. I’m doing it myself. The magnum was upped a little.

Magnum is majorly abused now. I just got a perfection in ZB with the friggin magnum. Not that it isn’t fun.

I did play it, the power was NOT changed.

This is the reason Bleed-Through was removed 343!!!
