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 ...

Alternator is still to strong with the disrupted rounds. They said they nerfed it but it atill destroys. Its literally half a mag to kill fully shielded fully healed person. It's ridiculous.

After testing/playing a lots of games it feels like no change at all 🥳

So the Hop-up is still very very strong, to strong.

The Alternator is awesome when you're not on the receiving end of it. 😃

The sound effect of the Disruptor rounds is so intimidating. Love it!

  @EA_Blueberry So decrease the damage on it. Under no circumstance should I use a Alternator over an R-99 R-301 considering the options. Took a very basic gun and made it top meta. Do you guys need someone to help make logical decisions on what occurs in the game for updates? Seriously is some like 10 year old running the department, says this looks/sounds cool, but has no experience in gaming, but pushes it into the game regardless with uncharacteristic statistics and testing? a basic thing missing form society is common sense which apparently not many in your department have as well.

    Are you aware of the hotfix the team implemented over the weekend? They will continue to review the data and conversations we ping their way here.
    
    Change to Disruptor Rounds Hopup
    
    Reduced the shield damage multiplier from 2.26 to 1.7. It's a minor tweak while we evaluate the full weapon meta next week.

    Well there is still a huge risk of carrying an Alternator without ever acquiring the attachment. I'll take the R-99 and R-301 over the attachmentless-Alternator every day.

I agree. I don't think the change did anything. The disruptor rounds are still way to good with the alternator. It does like 27 damaged per shot? That kills someone in like half a mag. It needs to be nerfed super hard.
