Thread: Launcher Nerfed but not Scatter Pistol?
Just curious. It seems that the scatter pistol retained its powerhandler component while this part of the schematic was removed from the launcher pistol. Launcher pistol drops about 35pts damage and adds about .4 speed without this (and this takes away any possible 'krayt' variations). Now....why does the BH scatter pistol still have both a feed mechanism and a powerhandler? With the new feeder drops I can see scatters with krayt tissue way over 300 damage and well under the speed cap...

The scatter pistol lost the feeder mechanism.

This is one of several threads on the BH forum concerning BH's going nuts due to the reduced power of their scatters now.
The above link discusses how apparently DX2's are now better overall than scatters.
Enjoy.
