Thread: Should i Stock up on FWG5's ? ?
1) the FWG5 nerf is a bug on TC and will never make it live, so don't worry
2) the nerf will feature a "roll-back" type affect, rendering all FWG's with power handlers as uncertified and as such ineffective.
3) the nerf will only affect new FWG's and old ones will work until they wear down.
No one knows for sure so it's up to you what you do.
If you have the cash lying around there's really no reason not to stock up.
i cant imagine they would do a roll back
as if they did I reckon the whole pistoleer communtiy would just dissapear and start playing a new game.
regardless if people think they are high powered or not, all previous guns have suffered no rollbacks and the only thing that ever has is the harvesters and that soon got fixed.
I for one have spent numerous days on end searching killing to get descent fwgs
if they do nerf the fwgs like on tc thats fine.
that takes all the problems of people calling nerf and throws it straight back onto there characters.
Now forgive me for saying this, I can guarantee you if this patch does go live and as so many belive rifleman caused this, do you really think the pistooleers arnt going to ask for the t21s to be nerfed again or strafe shot etc.
I think so!
a rifleman oneshotted me the other day with strafe shot 
i was wearing a full set of composite with 53/54% resists lol..
Hit me for like 1200 damage(console) and i don't remember the exact number that appeard above my head but it was in the 9-hundreds.. my health non buffed is 900..
Since when did the FWG5 become an UBER weapon?? You've got to be kidding me here! So a few people have some FWG's that are kick ass and now the Dev's want to nerf the pistol? This is totally retarded! There are ways to make a weapon put out more damage...its called "crafting" using the best materials in the game (krayt tissue, high quality resources etc) so now the pistol gets nerfed for using whats available in game????? OMG lets nerf all the weapons and we can all punch each other out until we get bored and move on to a more sensible game!
/unbelievable

Just a thought but if they take power handles out of fwg5 will they not also do that to scout blasters ? If this is so why not stock up on all pistols.
If scout blasters (or basically any other energy weapon) had their power handlers removed, then they would have nothing to store 'ammo' in.
Most of the parts in a FWG make it sounds like a projectile weapon, not an energy weapon.

I had someone check for me and they have not removed the power handlers from Scatter Pistols or Scout Blasters. Does this make any sense? No. But that's what happened.
