REMOVE MASTIFF ! OMG !
I swear ! I got killed by a guy level 60 ! plz it's a beginner ! MASTIFF requires no shot ! How to ruin a game with 12 bombs cuz of this noob gun ! get brain when you are doing some updates !
@II-LAZZARUS-II, being available does not mean that it is okay. It's not about the players, it's about sending the obvious message to devs that YOUR GAME HAS AN ISSUE, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!
Clearly this BS forum is not the forum that the devs read despite the name called FEEDBACK. If you read this thread or other threads, not I am the only one who has this problem. Just a side note that other weapons such as the prowler or hemlok got nerfed for far less.
Accepting whatever devs do is like a droid in a factory. Doing what we told and shut up.
Going back to your example... When the whole class gets bad grades because the teacher can't teach or just in the mood for some messing with the students, that's something that needs to be stopped, not just deal with it. Remember, it's a game, it's about enjoying the time spent with it, but when the map is spammed with this cancer mastiff and 2 games out of 3 ends with getting mastiffed, and not even having the chance to fight back, 'cause some noobs thirdparty you and your noob random squadmates go la-la to the other side of the goddamn map, and you barely able to win a 3v1, then some noob hits you in the face with this noob gun, that is an issue.
Yes I know, gEtGuD, but half of the people who say that I'm a bad player well, I can imagine their kdr... BTW I welcome any of them in any game, to watch their pro skills...
Yes, I have more than 2.5k hour in the game as well. I remember the decision where they removed one bar from the shields to shorten TTK. Then they reverted it, admitting they made a mistake. Well guess what, this cancer gun has pretty fast ttk, and it's still here. They push their will on us, players, because they are biased. And I don't like it, when they mess up such a good game.
Once again I write it, because I am patient...
This cancer gun is too easy to play with. WHY, you ask? Well it has a narrow horizontal spread, and for the damage amount, very fast reload time, even without an attachment. Since most of the times people play in the horizontal field, so tracking needs to be done pretty much left to right, this gun needs less tracking while delivering a high amount of damage.
This is called UNBALANCED aspect of the game. PK was more balanced. Why? It has a cone of fire instead of a wide line, so still requires more precise shots, not just get within 30-45 degrees, and click.
You can call it whining, I call it being aware of the game aspects and not accepting everything they stomp down in our throat. We are a community, we should tell devs if something wrong, but we have no voice, only top streamers have, who are a very small minority of this community. Call me anything you want, but then I call you a droid, you shouldn't be upset with anything in life, just accept that you got robbed, because they can, and no one there to stop them. Hope it gets trough...
@CrashA320 Comments like these are why I can't take the Mastiff vs PK debate seriously. The Mastiff does have an insane fire rate (with the purple bolt) and that does make it easy to just spam without aiming. The wide spread of the gun is more of a negative than a positive and typically doesn't land you more high damage shots. Just like the PK your target has to be relatively centered in front of your gun to land those high damage shots.
So unless your target chooses to walk into the center of your shots you do actually have to aim. I'm not saying shotguns take much skill but you're not landing high damage shots if your target isn't near the middle of your crosshairs.
@RandomMees This is why I want to see how the PK does in firing range without being a care package weapon. Memory tells me that a PK shot could hit for 110 damage max without the choke. Fully choked it could blast through purple armor and a bit of health so at least 130-150 damage. The Mastiff was doing 165 damage when it was a care packaged gun. Memory can't be trusted so I really wish I could be sure of those values.
Made a short video about this cancer gun's "range disadvantage"...

Everyone should draw the conclusion...
And another one comparing to 2 snipers...
Why do we even have other weapons?
The latest patch nerfing the mastiffs damage is live. I wonder if the mastiff can still do this.
@CrashA320 Saw the Mastiff consistently hit for 78 damage on one of the targets and started to think it was a problem. Then I saw you hit the dummies for 13-26 damage at that same range and realized the 78 only happened because it was a bigger target. That damage is low enough that no individual shot is a real threat and loses to any decent SMG or Assault Rifle. The rate of fire with a purple bolt is still the only thing that looks concerning with the Mastiff.
I'd be happy with a range nerf too but no video ever shows it being a consistent ranged threat. Just a lucky weapon you can spam at a distance to be annoying.
The amount of damage should be 0 on those targets...
