The purpose behind this patch was to reduce grenade spam at the end of the match, the idea is fine but I think the nerf of ammo from 80 to 60 is an extremely bad move. Even reducing the amount of shield cells and syringe from 6 to 4 can be considered as a bad move but it can be dealt by adjusting. But the ammo nerf is seriously crap. I calculated and found that increase of 2 inventory isn't quite compensating for nerf of so many crucial items, atleast for me. Might be the fact that I'm not a predator level player but I think majority of the community aren't predator level players. I'd kinda request to take back the nerfs on ammo, sheild cells and syringes or atleast add 2 more slots to each tier of backpack.

@Dokuganryu699That is ridiculous. Might as well get rid of the guns then right? No point in them if we can just grenade spam right? That's all I hear from this post.

Grenades SHOULD NOT be a primary way to fight. ESPECIALLY with how much damage they do. Arc stars do 70+ depending on how close you are AND they slow you down. The blast radius is at least 10m (yes the damage is low, but the slow down is sill the same) I don't even see ppl use frag grenades unless its all they find in the first few minutes of the round.

Either reduce how many you can carry, which I think is the right thing to do, or cut the radius in half, or drastically reduce the damage of arc stars. The slow down on top of all the damage (basically wipes your shield out) is just stupid. I get your whole argument \"thats how the game is\" but that is exactly why it needs to change, that is not fun. Who wants to play a game where you can just spam grenades and shoot maybe 15 bullets? It is not easy to escape the blast radius either because it brings you out of cover. And since there is no limit on grenades, you can easily surround the entire area with 5 arc stars guaranteeing you'll drop them.

All my arguments about this game are in the direction of bringing more fun to it. It is not fun when you go around dropping people with guns and doing well only to get eliminated by grenades. It isn't like we can just respawn and get back in the fight.

EDIT: The heals nerf was to combat grenade spam and my thinking is ppl would limit grenades in turn for heals. Which didn't work.

@Sir_Named yes you're absolutely correct, grenade now takes up 1 slot each and with ammo and heals nerfed there aren't enough space to carry grenades anymore.Also carrying them doesn't mean they'd do 100% damage on enemy, 90% of time my nades do barely 20-30 damage.

@SolitaryMassacre I started the thread mainly to point out the issues of ammo and heals nerfing which is a crap move and I am genuinely pissed because 160 bullets in 2 slots was perfect for me to use r99/flatline or 301/flatline combo but now 120 is not enough and 180 takes up too much space with a lvl 1 backpack. Same with heals you could heal 3 times to purple sheild with 2 slots but now it's just 2 which really sucks when you get third partied and are out of heals. I'm cool with the 1:1 grenade slot nerf though.

Also, saying this respectfully that if people do not like grenades they should really migrate to games which are purely based on guns, grenades were always a part of the game and it's always legit to carry a purple bag full of nades with no ammo or heals, it depends on the player itself. You don't do it, I don't do it doesn't really matter. But it's legit and we the people who carry no nades or 1 nade have no right to speak foul on them because we got rekt by some nades in a few match. I lose too man due to people throwing nades but I take it as a part of the game and move on to the next one instead of crying like babies that I got \"grEnADe sPaMMeD\"
