    The nerf does seem a little extreme to me.

    i remember when they nerfed it into uselessness in bc2

    still irritated about that

  • The real losers in this nerf.

    Boris and Crawford.

    Probably just DICE being dramatic. They are setting up those characters for some sort of epic redemption arc.

    they need to because they are both F teir specialists.  they have useless specialist gadgets so you give up 2 gadget slots if you want an fxm, javelin or M5

    @AngrySquid270 Have you heard the tale of the BF3 Famas nerf?

    @ragnarok013 and @AngrySquid270 Happy to see that there is discussion amongst the community that my boi Crawford needs a buff. However, not exactly the topic of the discussion lads. What's your take on the dart nerf?

    We're not darting stuff because we like to decorate.  

    We dart because we want to see Boris/Crawford make something die. I'm focused on the end goal of killing stuff.  The dart has little purpose other than as a buff to the F-tier engineers.  A nerf to one is a nerf to both.

    It is though.  The purpose of the dart is the fact that crawford and boris carry the missiles that make the dart useful.  Thier crap specialist gadgets make them less useful which means less peoe will want to use them and thus less javelins and M5 on the battlefield

    @ragnarok013 Let us take a moment to remember the Switchblade UCAV nerf of BF4 ':D

  • @sk1lldPar for the course with dice.
    Introduce “new” teamwork oriented gadget that’s good as it should if it requires teamwork.

    Then nerf it into the ground to make it a why would you pick this choice.

    Then why does no body use teamwork?

    also the people that say it won’t paint the target. It does work, but for certain vehicles you have to hit it twice for it to paint for some odd reason.

    @SilverJackal96 The odd reason being it's a bug. I've tested it out against all vehicles between different matches. The little bird for example, I've had times where it's an insta mark, and I've had times where it requires 4 darts. Just needs to be fixed, although why even bother now, nobody's even going to use the darts after this nerf

    @Padding_Ur_Stats Even if people choose to play engineer it wont matter because they all run out of rockets in no time and there's no more rockets to be found (ammo crates have become rare after the classes update).

    @Wargame_Enj0yeraaand we come back to class specs from bf3/ 4 ; i don't get why every bf has to start from scratch just to come back to most popular features of the series over time 

  • @Sulu9 That's EA games/DICE I guess. Re-inventing the wheel over and over. Sure, they try to innovate on the wheel by replacing the spokes but then they discover it wont roll that well when you put the wheel into practice. Then they forgot where they left the spokes. To come up with their own solution to replace those spokes.

    @Wargame_Enj0yer Pointless addition to 2042.

    No idea why they brought it back.

    Javelin coming back has been a huge success with plenty of Javelins now flying across the map at vehicles, but tracer dart was useless in BC2 and is now useless and completely unnecessary in 2042.

    @Tank2042ManIt has just one priceless use
    1) Find a 24/7 sniper on some cliff
    2) Creep behind them and tag the sniper with the dart gun.
    3) Make an ally with a javelin lock on a missile on the sniper
    4) Laugh as the sniper gets blown up

    tracer dart was amazing on BC2 before the nerfed the hell out of it to where it was near useless and was only good for trolling bush wookies (hmm....sounds familiar)

    Just tried this after coming back and was wondering why it was disappearing so quick. Now I find they nerfed it into the ground too. 12 sec lock, really it takes the few people with line of site 6+ secs to switch and attempt a lock on, then counter measures defeat those. So it's deleted before they even reload. And you only get what 4 of them... Why even add anti vehicle stuff just make vehicles invincible already. They're virtually there already.
