@hayhor Respawn: "uwu diversity change up meta with hop-ups uwu"
Also Respawn: Keeps the same hop-ups in rotation for multiple seasons in a row*, and doesn't understand that shaking up the meta through hop-ups is ineffective because of their crappy loot distribution, and people will gravitate towards weapons that work with fewer RNG pieces to find.
Wingman, R301, R99, Mastiff, PK, Volt, all weapons that work well even without any attachments at all, and there's a reason they've remained at the top of the food chain. Triple Take's usage shot up immediately once the Precision Choke hop-up became innately installed on TT.
*Skullpiercer: S2,5,6,7.
Turbocharger: S1,2,3,6,7.
Double Tap: S3,4,5,6,7
Hammerpoint: S2,3,4,5,6,7
Selectfire: S1,2,3,4,5,6
Precision Choke: S1,2,3,4,5
Anvil Receiver: S3, 4
Edit: Why was it removed? You know Respawn, something something, usage data, something something, internal testing, something something, sense of pride and accomplishment, something something, assume positive intent.
- @hayhor People were using R301 with Anvil more than most snipers. It even outplayed the good Longbow when ppl knew how good it was due to the rapid fire of the gun
@hayhorAnvil on Flatline was so good, put a 2x or 3x and bam!!!
@Koochi-QSo make the fire rate slightly slower. Why remove things that are fun when they can be tweaked? Like the one that made an alternator usable. It was too strong. So make it slightly weaker.
Also longbow sucks!
- @hayhor Longbow slaps!! ☹️
- @BaldWraithSimp Not for me it doesnt!
- @pastaclown The start of your post made me think of my favorite Mongolian band
https://youtu.be/28PR🤭8orEU - @hayhor I have never ever seen anyone use that scope on a R301... hahaha XD
- @rockyboy1998 It isnt my first or second choice but I couldnt find a 3x or 2x. The 4x came in handy there tho. I got about 50 damage on a Gibraltar running across.
Last memory of the anvil hopup on a flatline was when a Gibby destroyed half a lobby by cheating with it, he was hidden in the tunnel exit on Train Yard side, headshotting anyone coming down. There was a carpet of deathboxes in front of him.
The main problems I see with Anvil is that it renders snipers obsolete. Nerfing it to be below snipers makes it unworthy, especially for legendary tier. Also, it favors camping and hiding there's a low risk to camp with R301 or Flatline because they do greatly on close combat, unlike sniper rifles. With Loba's enhanced ability, ammo cost is not that much of a problem anymore. Another thing, it's a bit too similar to the Skullpiercer and clearly stronger, so it doesn't make much sense to have both in the game at the same time. Last but not least, Anvil and Disruptor kind of fused and morphed into Rampart's Amped Wall, their recycling may render Rampart less useful, possibly affecting her pick rate negatively.
