Boris turret is useless.
Boris turret is pointless. It takes an eternity to start shooting yet stops almost instantly. If about as durable as a paper bag in a lite shower of rain. A mean what’s the point in playing him?? Oh ...

@BolvardThe turret "Wall hacked" one player at a time. Paik "Wall hacks" unlimited players at at time. But yes you have to push a single button to activate Paik's "ability", and all it takes to activate the auto-turret is 5 seconds to find a perfectly level spot to drop, pray it doesn't explode instantly, and take 2 seconds to drop it while being shot at, then watch a sniper one shot destroy it instantly...super cool "ability"...🤔
I'd agree the "orange wall hack" was too much for the auto-turret. Yet instead of just removing that part, Dice did the following:
1. Slowed the response time of the turret to target enemies
2. Reduced the spotting distance drastically to a very short range
3. Removed the "orange spotting" and replaced it with basically nothing
4. Reduced the shot damage to where you can only get killed if you stand in front of it for 10 or more seconds with full health.
5. Slowed the drop speed
6. Slowed the pickup speed
7. Reduced the circle diameter that is supposed to increase its power if you stand inside it
8. Reduced the locations the turret can drop on almost all maps, especially at height
9. Made T1 near impossible for all players who have not leveled Boris yet
10. Recently nerfed the turret so it can't fire through smoke at all so now it magically has no infrared military technology like Paik still utilizes on unlimited targets.
Could do this all day and yes I get it Boris was a little too OP once...but did we need a dozen nerfs when really the only issue was "auto-Paik" orange glow spotting ability???
Dice "Operation Nerf" successful, character dead...🤭

My DX takes 2 shots. Range probably plays a part.
I'd agree the "orange wall hack" was too much for the auto-turret. Yet instead of just removing that part, Dice did the following:
1. Slowed the response time of the turret to target enemies (Maybe, but it picks me up pretty damn quick)
2. Reduced the spotting distance drastically to a very short range (Whether the current range is workable, before it was ridiculous)
3. Removed the "orange spotting" and replaced it with basically nothing (Some things dont need to be replaced when it is just OP)
4. Reduced the shot damage to where you can only get killed if you stand in front of it for 10 or more seconds with full health. (Not sure now, but when I was trying to T1 the K30, I unloaded a 50 round clip, hitting everyone and it didnt destroy the unit. Ridiculous)
5. Slowed the drop speed (Needed. I cannot tell you how many twitch fights I won, but the guy dropped a gun as he died and it killed me immediately)
6. Slowed the pickup speed
7. Reduced the circle diameter that is supposed to increase its power if you stand inside it (Most use it as a shield anyway)
8. Reduced the locations the turret can drop on almost all maps, especially at height
9. Made T1 near impossible for all players who have not leveled Boris yet
10. Recently nerfed the turret so it can't fire through smoke at all so now it magically has no infrared military technology like Paik still utilizes on unlimited targets. (I could go either way on this)
Could do this all day and yes I get it Boris was a little too OP once...but did we need a dozen nerfs when really the only issue was "auto-Paik" orange glow spotting ability??? (The gun was very OP. It was soloing kills. Paik may see you, but the player is still doing the killing and possibly dying.)Dice "Operation Nerf" successful, character dead...🤭 (Welcome to Casper Nerf)
The gun was on the same level as, or close to Ranger. IMHO, no AI should be able to solo you. You play the game, not the computer. It is an assist. I still see Boris laying down in the corner with his gun in front of him. People walking in and shooting, only to hit the gun, while Boris shoots you. The gun was never meant to be a shield.
