Lets Talk About Gibby

Yea this legend is annoying the most annoying in the game for me. This legend can eat an entire flatline mag and his gun shield absorbs most of this. I think its time to go back and try to re-balance this legend. 1 on 1 verse a Gibby the outcome a lot times will always go to the Gibby because of his gun shield with how fast it repops. I am not saying nerf him or his gun shield but please add in a longer refresh time. By the time I pop 1 cell this Gibby is already repopped his gun shield. This is an extra 100 damage every like 10 seconds or so? I dont play Gibby so I cant recall exactly the repop time. But what I do know its way to short.

    @E9ine_AC It is very short. One shield cell and it is back. So you pop yours, he pops his and he gets like 85 shield back compared to your 25.

    They really need to make damage bleed through. His shield should absorb a full mastiff or kraber shot.

    @hayhor Yea its nasty.Its a huge disadvantage verse every legend released as there is no way to counter his shield other then dropping the shield and hoping it doesnt regain while engaging to chasing.

    @hayhorI was shooting a Gib the other day & noticed when I was landing shots on him vs his shield. Pretty much just have to have good aim on his head or have something that came do high damage like an lmg. I avoid CQs with Gibby & shoot them at range.

    @E9ine_AC  I've been saying for ages that I'm convinced that bloody arm shield absorbs way more damage than its supposed to (sniper shots excluded, if you ain't aiming for the head that's on you).

    They either need to remove the quick recharge when using shield cells and force it to naturally recharge...or scrap the damn thing and give him an alternative passive, reduced CD on tactical when taking damage or something maybe?

    @E9ine_AC His damage reduction needs to be capped at around 10%.. It took me 5 shots to drop a gibi with a Sentinel.. 50 for the arm shield was one shot, then I had 4 hit for 60. Most of the time he can make it to cover or throw down his bubble and survive.

    The arm shield needs a cool down that is not recovered by a single cell. 15-20 seconds on the arm shield.

    @E9ine_AC The worst legend to fight hands down... he is so over powered!

    @hayhor the amount of times I have hit him with a kraber is so annoying... the bullet should just break through!

    @MandatoryIDtag I tend to aim at the head but im a hip fire weirdo and up close hip fire aiming at head can be little tedious. haha
