Am I the only one that thinks this weapon is broken? I mean just take a look at the photo, this guy killed me in 5 bullets with a fire rate of the previous beast of a gun, Spitfire. Don't say my stats are * because I don't play Valkyrie lol.

Perhaps a damage fade over 100 meters or something, that would make it more balanced compared to other weapons, the precision on the weapon is a bit to high to validate no damage drop. Also perhaps a precision nerf when charged. So the spread is bigger and recoil harsher, that would give it the good power close range but not give it OPness at range. In general very little is needed for the weapon to be stellar (outside of fixing the freeking bugs on it)

I think the rampage is fine, it sucks quite hard at close range outside if its charged. To charge it you have to stand still... Its a risk reward kind of weapon, but its decent mid long range with the correct setup. Because of this I think its fairly balanced as it is. Still it was 6 hits for 200 damage 🙂 I know its irritating when someone pulls off a lucky play on you but its even more insane when you meet the headshot gods with a wingman :P(Im not refering to bugs and exploits on the rampage, they obviously have to get fixed, but I dont think it needs a nerf)

@Cheese9Man I think head shots are like 42 per shot. I think the OP has the color blind mode on which is why they are all yellow.

@Zkepz The gun is meant to be used at range for suppression so a bullet nerf over 100 meters doesn't really make sense to me. They need to make it harder to control. That would help a lot, tho for me the issue is close range charged. You won't beat that gun with an r99 or prowler and that doesn't make sense to me.

Yes, let's nerf it so people can complain about the next gun, and then that will get nerfed, and so on...Until we look like Destiny 2 PvP, where only hand cannons and shotguns are allowed.Or, how about no, and we learn that this game has MULTIPLE engagement ranges, and charging across an open field without cover gets you killed, like would actually happen with real guns.If ANYTHING, the LMG damage in this game is unrealistically low.

Close range is okay, but at mid range or long range, it's a nightmare. I just think the damage is really big with also having a fire rate just like Spitfire. I just can't fight against that. Also I got matched with a Predator using that, it was catastrophic.

@RAz1tsU Are those all headshots? If yes, this might be a cheating problem rather than the rampage. But a small damage nerf is welcomed.

Also, please blur out the name of the other person as it’s against the rules of the forum. 🙂

@hayhor I would have to agree. I feel like it isn't OP as a mid-long range suppressive fire weapon. Any nerf, should be to reduce its CQC effectiveness, especially when charged. Slight recoil increase at all ranges would be nice, imo, like you mentioned. Maybe mix up the recoil pattern itself? I haven't seen or tested the actual pattern, but it is by far, the easiest gun to control automatic fire with, personally.

tried it with upgraded stock and barrel and it becomes god in close range fights.
