Like the title says DGMK4's range got reduced from 55Meters to 15 meters, this is almost a 70% range reduction.
Not a single word about it in the 1.2.2.0 update patch notes.
Therefore it must be a bug, please fix.
The DGMK was a wonderful choice for recon players that wanted to actually be close to the battle, and maybe even PTFO.
Now, it's pretty much back to the drone that can break gadgets from about 50m or so, and just sitting on an ammo pack or redeploying to keep using it.
Weird change.
Hi, for me that i am a sniper i didnt feel the Gadget bugs like everybody talking about, like the aim after use feel off and not alligned but for me after this update i feel the Gadget not working, i could prevent mortar kills and granades before like it says on the description.
40m is the range of drones emp dart.
Speaking of the drone, the gadget which the DGMK is based on is an anti drone gun, and it cant even reach the drones now, nobody is flying a recon drone 15M from the ground.
And yeah, DGMK is one of the most fun gadgets in the series in a long LONG time, so having it be nerfed to near obscurity after a month in game is a shame, but here is hoping this is a genuine bug and not a malicious nerf.
Its not even worth using now, it dosent even lock onto beacons if your standing looking at it... only thing iv had it work on is mines and those despawn when people die too now lol
Recon`s gadget DGMK4 doesnt work after update
The stealth Nerf of the Recon Gadget ( DGMK4 ) is such a drastic change. The gadget now has no use being under 15M or less and does not even work half the time with in 15M. Has anyone else had a problem with the stealth Nerf over the past week or so?
Could we get a compromise on the range maybe make it 30-45M possible cause 15M now just way to close. In the real works the gadget is used to help eliminate Drones. With the range it is now in game you are never able to take down a drone in the air now cause the range just so short.
Yes, completely agree and I've seen it regularly.
If I was going to take out gadgets that close, I'd use my gun, and I wouldn't be standing that close to missiles or grenades to start with.
Why would I now use a gadget that only works occasionally?
Like everything in this mess of a project, they take our money, ruin the things that work, and refuse to fix any of the outstanding issues.
Like many gadgets, it's now worthless and will live in obscurity never to be used again.
Some dev got super angy when the DGMK countered their playstyle I bet.
Community ManagerThanks for the feedback and for taking the time to report this. We’ve shared it with the team for review.
After the nerf, the gadget is completely useless. I really enjoyed using it as a recon player. Let me be in the action AND deadly with C4. Range needs to be increased or the gadget removed.
