new e-pulse rifle

[darkblade]

How good is the new e-pulse weapon for the medic.

Not great personally. Ammo is to be desired even with bandolier (180+1st mag). On hard horde I ran out of ammo very fast and the TTK seemed the same as base Morita. Not sure if something was up but firing at long range wasn't netting me any hit markers over an open field vs gunners and the like. Not sure if wonky invis terrain is to blame or projectiles despawn at a certain range. I have the same issue with the new Stim Dartgun. Sounds great though and I'd consider using it in place of Morita if the ammo economy was equal but even if they were it's a flavor thing at this point since their damage profile is so similar.

TLDR: Fun but worse than Morita because of ammo.

Sniper version sucks. Can't hit anything beyond 10 yards, takes 3+ mags to down a tiger on hard while right on top of it. Honestly a big disappointment.

Dart gun with bandolier gives you 30 Darts =D
so E-Pulse rifle needs a buff it seems.

I am kind of wondering if the gun is bugged.
It's like the stats don't match the performance.

Buddy. Even the New smg is useless with just 5mags. While Morita sits there with 10

It's one of those things where they really shouldn't be using stat bars and need to switch to numbers. All the e-pulse guns have a fairly limited range, and part of that is to balance the piercing.
A1 - 35m (makes sense, since it's a pistol)
E44 - 50m (as a mid range weapon, needs at least another 20m)
E88 - 60m (since it's on a CBQ class, I think the range is appropriate)

Once again Video game weapons suck, in real world compare weapons from 1850 to 2024, they have improved, Sights Range Recoil, EXCEPT in this "UNIVERSE" it seems, they became weaker, inaccurate & unsuitable for the job...

Is this really early access or is it run by government committee ?

Yeah I think that would be a definite help.
