Alternator with Damage Hop-Up
Hello, The Alternator with Damage Hop-Up makes way to much Damage and should be a bit nerfed. Sometimes i only need 2-3 Hits to crack Purple/Gold Armors or i get wrecked from alternators instantly ...

I dont think nerfing alternator, RE45, p2020 and mozambique is necessary, they are situational weapons and allow for wide range of playstyles in team... Even today in ranked where every second player has 20kill and 4k damage badge we were scarred of these weapons but we played around it and never gotten to situations where we got melted in seconds or vice versa. Although the games were extremely hard it felt really balanced and we also had fun communicating about which enemy has broken shield for the hammerhead weapons and which got re-shielded for the impact hopup
Well R99 and R301 are my favorite weapons in the past but now these are popcorn guns because of the R45 and alternator with Disruptor Hop-Up.
Hammerpoint Hop-up for p2020/moza is a good thing but the other Hop-Up for Alternator/R45 is just..... to much 🥳
I also thing this game have now to many Gold Weapons and way to many Air Drops but this is my own opinion.
We will see in future, it feels like many is unbalanced in the current state
Agree. I really enjoyed the feeling looting for a full-fledged R301 or R99 and used them to fight. But, honestly, the new hop-ups are too op, and I don't think an alternator with disruptor rounds should be way much more than R301 or R99.
Agreed, It's so strange that the Wingman even became pretty useless compared to a ?Alternator?. A gun that never has been that usefull up until now. I approve the buff, but making a common gun OP, shifts the game too much (in a wrong way). 3 bullets to shred a purple/gold body with a SMG is never justifiable in my opinion.
- @AlmightyPharias My experience of the RE-45 and alternator is that they're not situational at all with the disruptor rounds. I've mained the alternator with a 2-4x scope on it and not had to use my 2nd weapon once I've got a purple mag :S
I love that they're viable and I think a way to balance them would be to make them do much less damage to health, if we're keeping the buffed damage to shields as it currently is.

In Season 1 the Alternator was one of those weapons passed up on for others so the hop ups gave them some more appeal, so early game they are extremely viable options now.
Do you all see the Alternator at the tail end of games?
@EA_BlueberryAlternator or RE45 is all anyone wants to use at the minute, because if you come up against someone who has it and you don't - you're finished.
It's a shame because before this I thought the weapon balance was pretty spot on. All they need to do is tweak the things to be more difficult to master instead of just spewing crazy damage from spraying. Tweak the base damage down and then make it so that you really need to run the two types of hopup in tandem, or make use of them situationally. At the minute: you don't need to even switch from your alt/RE to finish after breaking someones armor in a few shots.
