Remove Energy Weapons - all of them!

Simple approach:

The LSTAR is useless - period. You'd expect that it shreds on close quarter, but it doesn't. 

Not even close to R99, Prowler oder Hemlock. The projectiles are actually blocking the view of the one who fires it.

For everything else other than close quarter, the projectiles are to slow.

Havoc - well still imba. You cannot lose with this weapon - even with just hipfire - on a 1:1 combat in free field. Well only if the other one also has a Havoc.

With this being removed and no energy weapons in the game, there is finally more space for other weapons, sights and ammo.

    This tragedy needs to be changed as well.

    31 damage by a fist? Yeah right and a Prowler, no attachements, does 24 on a body...

    Yes you can lose with the havoc against people that are way smarter when playing. All you have to do is strafe the shots eventually they will run out of ammo and the reload+the start up time to shoot again is enough to kill them

  • Now with the return of the Devo to the ground and the Havoc with extended energy mag and a Volt that is even worse than the R99 has ever been, I have to push this.

    Change my mind.

    Removal of a weapon entirely is pretty unlikely considering folks will have paid for skins. Balance is always being looked at for energy weapons, the Devo already had a small nerf this season. 

  • We shouldnt nerf energy weapons well maybe slightly but maybe buff the other weapons to make them better and contend with the energy weapons.

  • @Lausekittel Unfortunately your idea will never become a reality and for very good reason.

    Respawn and EA have confirmed that weapons will never be vaulted because people would have purchased skins. The most they will do to balance weapons is nerf or convert them into Care Package weapons.
