Re: G7 needs a Rate of Fire nerf

@Leo_the_Lion25 I agree with the ammo count of the G7, it really is one of it's main issues, I think it could go even further to 7/10/12/15.

I think a slight damage reduction as well to 32, just so it tips under the 3 body shots to down a flesh enemy mark. It'll still down a white shield player in 5 though.

    If they nerf the fire rate, it will be just like the Longbow. So no reason to have 2 longbows. I think nerf the damage to 32 or 30 (like it was) is better option. I also think getting rid of the double tap and putting like a "dead shot" (a perk that causes no bullet drop) would be a better perk. Then maybe I would use it for distance more. 

    But yeah there are times I get dropped (or I drop someone) so quickly with it. I thought it was perfectly fine before the damage buff, I was surprised it even got a buff.

    @SolitaryMassacreNo? I didn't say 'drop the fire rate to match the longbow'. Right now here are the current rounds per minute each gun fires:

    G7 Scout RPM: 273
    Triple Take RPM: 75
    Longbow RPM: 70
    Charge Rifle RPM: 30

    So yeah, we could literally halve the RPM of the G7 and it would STILL be twice as fast as the longbow.

    *edit* Not to mention, G7 rounds drop a LOT less than the longbow, so you don't have to adjust your aim near as much from a distance.

    @Draknost Nooooo,

    Stop with the Nerfs!

    You noobs dont understand why it was buffed in the first place.

    During season 2, the longbow firerate was buffed. The Longbow dominated season 2 ranked. So we asked the Devs to buff the G7 a little for season 3. So the Devs buffed the damage from 30 -> 34!

    At the beginning of season 3, the Longbow was nerfed back and G7 was buffed to 34. But now since the Longbow had been nerfed the G7 can be nerfed back to 30.


    You noobs are now asking to nerf the G7 firerate which would mutate the weapon into something else.

    If Respawn decide to nerf the G7, the proper way would be to reduce the damage back to 30.

    @hhnbbfggty66 The damage is fine at 34 dude. The problem happened when they buffed the width of the bullet size which made people use the G7 more.

    G7 needs a nerf by reverting the width and lowering the ammo clip size. You refuse to read the posts of this thread.

    I'm a G7 user and been using it since Season 1. G7 is meta in scrims and tournaments and people spamming it because the clip size is huge and the width is bigger than before.

    The damage of 34 should stay the same though in my opinion as long as they revert the width and lower the clip size.
