Re: How do you feel about the new hop-ups?

When they first announced the disruptor rounds I thought maybe it would be about 20% extra damage or something like that.

I love the Alternator and I think the buff they gave it made it a viable weapon late game, but I do feel like the disruptor rounds need to be reigned in even from 170% damage to something like 140%.

P2020 & Mozambique I think are fine as they are still pretty pants when using them against shields, you go up against someone with purple shields and you're gonna feel the pain.

    I did some testing the days after this update.


    The Disruptor Rounds Hop-Up lets the RE-45 and Alternator shine and put it in a spot that it's balanced close range gun fights.
    They get countered pretty easily by other weapons like the R-99, havoc, devotion and shotguns.

    For the Hammerpoint Rounds rounds, i think they are in a underused spot.
    The Compatible weapons are rarely used and don't fit in the meta.
    They are too weak to get used over other weapons but a small damage buff could change that.

    Positioning incorrectly or making a mistake could make the difference between winning a fight or losing on with one of these Hop-Ups
    I think those weapons are a bit overestimated as players haven't adjusted to the new play styles that come with these changes.



    Great feedback!
