Pistoleer Archive

So when our venerable correspondent was discussing the issue, Thunderheart replied in the thread that 3 others were effected.

Anybody know which ones? I can only cringe at the thought if they are all pistols...

The FWG5, scatter, and launcher pistols all need their power handler requirement removed. The spraystick needs to have its damage type changed, probably to acid. Tusken rifle needs to be light armor piercing kinetic instead of no armor piercing energy. Tangle pistol needs a barrel requirement.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, which one's they're actually doing is anyone's guess.

Tusken Rifle is actually already AP light. Agree on the kinetic though. They changed it to AP1 and yet didn't seem to click in the fact it's a kinetic thrower.

There are two weapons aside from those mentioned that use both feeds. The bowcaster and the rocket launcher. As I highly doubt the devs are worried about someone using 5 krayt tissues on a 30-36 shot expendable weapon, I'd bet it's the bowcaster getting hit, which frankly is just rude. It's like nerfing the D-18 pistol!

Its funny though, we only knew of one weapon being effected, and this has been for over a week I believe. In no time was any other weapon showing effected by the test center. Now, after all the shouting and post's, there are three weapons being effected. I don't know, but I think this was a cover up for the nerf so the FWG5 wouldn't be singled out and look like a direct nerf on the pistoleers.

The Marksman Correspondent says it's most likey Scatter, Launcher, + ?
