Would You Want the Anvil and Selectfire Receivers to Come Back?

I liked the diversity they brought to longer range engagements, and the combat diversity they gave certain weapons. I would only want it to come back if the Triple Take got some love, a la what I posted about here. It would help the Triple Take have some parity if the Anvil and Selectfire Receivers were reintroduced.

Would you want them back? Would you want it in a limited circumstance, such as only craftable at delivered replicators (not replicators near materials by default)?

  • Selectfire Receiver: The Selectfire Receiver hop-up grants an alternative fire mode: It allowed the Prowler to fire full-auto and the HAVOC to fire a single hit-scan laser.
  • Anvil Receiver: The Anvil Receiver hop-up increased semi-auto damage, but the single fire uses 2 ammo per shot while the rate of fire was reduced. The single-fire damage multiplier was 2.5x for the R-301 Carbine and 2.25x for the VK-47 Flatline.

  • @NullEffective9 Yes I would want both of these back, fully. I liked using the anvil receiver, because it offered some longer range capabilities, while still being able to have close range use. The reason I want the select fire back, was I never got to try it on the havoc, which seemed really fun. But having it back on the prowler I think would make it to OP.
  • According to the devs, the anvil and the select fire (havoc) were removed to give more separation between the assault rifles and the marksman weapons. They probably saw the decrease use of MM and snipers when these hop ups were in the loot. 

    I like the variety of weapons that you can use right now and adding these back just make some weapons, particularly MM weapons, not as good. However, I want the automatic prowler back.

    @Cheese9Man The G-7 was always the top marksman, the 30-30 and the bochek were always mid tier, and at least for me the triple take was always bad. They should add the hop ups back, and just fix the MM, imo the G-7 was the only one that ever fit with the other guns.
  • @NullEffective9 I really miss the select fire on the Havoc. It was brilliant. And I was a fan of the anvil on the flatline. I think the issue with the anvil was cheaters abusing it.
  • oooo🤭OOOOOoooooo...select fire on my Prowler..... :drool:

  • @hayhor Yeah, the Flatline abuse by cheaters was a problem. But ultimately it is the vulnerability that has to be fixed. They left the Charge Rifle in, after all...
