While I’m happy that the boltshot is getting a nerf, why can we still spawn with a one hit kill weapon? People will still abuse it because of it, the main tactic being camping. How do you guys feel about this?
Taking out it’s cappability of 1SK would render it utterly useless, and by making it only take shields out means that we have a shorter range Plasma Pistol. With the range nerf, the damage output at a distance will be lower, giving you more time to blast through their shields and killing them in the meantime they change another shot. Also, be aware of your surroundings.
Double post, sorry.
well the problem now is almost solved because you need to hug to get an one shot kill and can be avoided, well the campers is not the problem of 343i is the n00bs problem because you can annoy them and they will think 2 times before using BS Camp
You have to be right in their face to get the one hit kill. While I remain concerned about this weapon, I have no doubt that it will be a lot less of a paint in the -Yoink- than before.
> why can we still spawn with a one hit kill weapon?
Because it has major disadvantages to trying to use it - charge time, cool down time, the fact that half the clip is used up, and post-TU, the range will be shorter too.
The very least, if people do not want it to be a 1SK, then buff its damage for individual firing. It is only good for using as a shotgun, and that wasn’t even its main purpose.
it will end up being a variant of the plasma pistol

Well all the promethean weapons is a mix between Covy and UNCS except the ligth rifle which is a mix between DMR and BR
The range nerf definatly balances the weapon better than pre-TU it makes it very much a more risk/reward type weapon instead of insta-death inside 25’
The range was simply too large on it
Its not the fact its a 1sk, there are how many 1sk weapons in H4?
lets see
UNSC
rockets
spartan lazer
railgun
sticky detonator
sniper rifle (headshot)
Shotgun
Covy
beam rifle
fuel rod cannon
sword
grav hammer
promethian
binary rifle
incineration cannon
I’m sure there are more thats all I can think of off the top of my head
The issue hasn’t necessarily been that its a 1sk weapon availble in loadouts, the issue has been that its a 1sk weapon witha range greater than any other CQC power weapon thus making said weapons useless and ruining in game balance
Why can players spawn with a Plasma Pistol and plasm grenades in BTB?
