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 ...

His "Blast Proof" helmet is also useless. I see they've not bothered to fix the equip function in the latest update or the plethora of placement issues with the turret.
It is refreshing to know they did fix (quote)" bullet decals not looking realistic on a painting in the C3 sector" though. That was everyone's top priority no doubt.
What do you expect? They nefed it to hell due to people crying about it!
- @CantGetRight People where crying about the Wallhack that comes with it, not the turret itself
Big difference@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...🤭
Doesnt matter if paik or Boris, wallhacks have no place in an fps game.
the turret constantly highlighted the nearest enemy which made engaging a camping boris who hides in random corners or containers really frustrating
paik at the time where atleast spotted on the minimap, that’s why her ability was somewhat counterable, you knew from which angle or direction she may approach.
borris turret on the other hand just blatantly spotted and wallhacked through walls and smokes and CONSTANTLY revealed your exact position on the enemy first person view as long as the turret where fixed on you.
in my opinion they should just revert all changes to the turret before the nerf and just remove the orange outlines on a soldier and the minimal Spott if the turret targeted you.
