Can we all agree that Felwinter's range is absurd?
That thing needs to be toned down. It doesn't just need the nerf bat, it needs the nerf -blam!-ing tank to hit it.
EDIT - I own the gun lol

Bungie's thinking is that it's offset by the fact that other shotguns have ridiculous range too (though not quite as ridiculous), and the fact that the RoF is a joke. They think of it as a punishment mechanic - you have the advantage on the first shot, but if you screw it up you lose. Unfortunately, they don't understand just how ridiculously easy shotguns are to use compared to everything else. They think of blink+shotgun as a high skill maneuver rather than a mechanically broken gimmick. I use blink shotgun (if you can't beat 'em, join 'em), and it's not really a high skill thing. Anyway, they think it's harder than it is to master the techniques, and they wanted it to be the best shotgun. It has the same base stats as the bronzed chasma, it just has more upgrades and can be re-rolled rather than farmed.

5 RepliesSnipers are supposed to have long range, stop crying.

Edited by scuzzgolem: 3/10/2015 7:03:53 PMThey can nerf it. I will go back to my Two to the Morgue that is just as good because it was a random roll. Then the tears will be real.

lol I hate getting sniped by it but I LOVE sniping with it

6 RepliesIt has pretty low range for a Sniper. If you nerfed it it would just be a shotgun... [spoiler]kappa[/spoiler]

Cry babies continue to want to nerf every new gun. Look at the fire rate, sure the range is long but if you miss your first shot you're pretty much -blam!-ed. Risk and reward.
-
If they nerf the range they need to increase its rate of fire to compensate.
-
I like the range on it, honestly all the shotguns need to be more like the felwinter, not the other way around. Hopefully this would result in Bungie making maps larger than a prison cell. The shotgun is fine, but the levels are too small. I will agree that with the current set of levels we get stuck on, felwinter is overpowered. I will not fault the shotgun, one of only two good shotguns in the game, for that problem.
-
Yeah the range is large, but it is more than compensated for with the firing rate.

1 ReplyFound verdict is used by just as many people as felwinter, has much more range, yet no one complains why?
-
I was so confused when I was shotgunned and the guy was twenty feet away.
-
It's a -blam!-ing beast and a half
-
The thing that pissed me off was they nerfed shotguns, then they add a shotgun that totally negates the nerf. It's ridiculous

3 RepliesThat shotgun clearly did not get the memo when the nerf was released.
-
If there's a gun to complain about its the last word. Even with supposed nerfs to handcannons and the stats on it already having low range I can get domed by it farther then my thorn or sniper can get him
-
It only feels that way because almost every other shotty has crap range due to the nerfs.
-
It is but its stability is crap. Need the buff when ADS shot group is tighter. Until i get it two the morgue is where its at
-
Found Verdict has twice as much range as Felwinter...
-
It's either the range or they impact that's the problem. Changing either would have the same results.

8 RepliesTo me this is a "I couldn't be bothered to do IB even though I knew they were about to buff/nerf Shotguns and one of the IB weapons was a Shotgun...please nerf others weapons for their foresight and labor!" post. Play IB on the 17th as the Shotgun and SR will be drops. Use motes to roll your choice. Mission complete. Quit whining because you can't understand getting into brawling distance with someone wielding a portable howitzer is a bad idea.

-
Yeah, until that happens though I'll keep using it. The range is filthy.
-
Short-sighted decisions with certain weapons is why this game will never be MLG. Then when they do nerfs they nerf the entire class of items and not the exact item.

1 ReplyBetter idea is to make a mlg game mode no shotguns supers or fusion. Snips and primary. Let all the shotgun and fusion bad kids play in one side and all the pros on the other
