Tracer dart gun nerf
Hi everyone, Just saw the new leaks about the upcoming hotfix for Tuesday the 14th of February. In it one of the things that is mentioned is a ridiculously massive (imo) nerf to the tracer dart gun....

I don't use it so that will be an easy adaptation
I tried it but, but sometimes it wouldn't even register as a "hit" (even though it plainly DID in fact hit) or if you did manage to get a hit marker, it would fail to "paint" the target, half the time.
So, I don't know why a nerf was needed BEFORE it was even working properly.
- @Ironhead841 You make a good point, but why even bother to fix the bug now, after a nerf to the ground. Probably nobody will ever pick it up again, not that people even use it now. Every single match I get people who didn't know that it existed or which class has it.
During my playtime with the dart gun, I've found it really not that effective. Every lockon and missile gets 'washed off' by the incessant flares/countermeasures. 9 out of 10 times the dart that hits the target never leads to a hit by a 'locked-on' missile.
The assumed nerf to it seems bizarre.
- @Wargame_Enj0yer Any countermeasuers being activated remove the active darts. Not to mention the bug where half the time the darts don't actually paint the target, or how rarely anyone ever uses it. The nerf is entirely uncalled for
- @rerk1 How smoke or flares make a dart ineffective is bad enough, the nerf, especially the drastically reduced time, will assure that no one will use the tracer. Except for trolling individual players on foot anyways. Another stellar decision by the devs. If you start a subreddit or a YouTube channel and talk about how it needs a buff the devs might care, but they sure don’t care about the forums opinions.
