they should have never reduced the range from 40 to 35 and never increased damage fall off. hcs already had pretty steep damage falloff. they didnt add damage falloff to prs, prs barely have any damage falloff.

Bump

i run strikes alot with my firefly, braceframe, spray and play imago. i have zero range enhancing perks but i did fine triggering firefly prepatch. this weapon sucks nutz now in pve, i have to be really close to even kill stuff or hit my crits. anything beyond 20 to 25 meters and my damage is greatly reduced. i tried my ace of spades to see if the reinforced barrel made a difference but even that felt like crap.

I noticed a difference too. They indirectly nerfed it. Now I struggle my ass off to break even with it. It now has a huge damage drop off unlike the palindrome and eyasluna.
