Who uses the revolver best?

[DorkianBae]

Vets or Zealots?
I mostly just play Ogryn but wanted to play around with the new revolver and maybe some of the old revolver too

You need to wait a couple of days for an answer, we are all out grinding more platsteel because no one can keep up with the RNG system

new revolver is fun and is really great with both reload talents up and right tree branch veteran investment but the damage difference for 1 tap break points makes New Revolver solid A tier where as old Revolver is S tier for 1 tap break points.

BUT New revolver has more bullets to spare so we can yippie kai yay on these heretic mutha cluckas

[Muscarine]

Is that seriously a question ?

Vets

Vets do, always have

The nerf isn't really bad, but keep in mind it's a nerf that affects Zealots and Psykers much more than it does precious little Veterans

Now with the new revolver you get 50k dps on Veterans, it's not even a hyperbole

But they will still be crying on every forums that they're so weak

[Brother Bigot]

Veterans cus
Weakpoint damage stacking

They both do well with it. My speed Zealot benefits from both revolvers pretty heavily.

I play Zealot with knife + old revolver. Honestly: new revolver doesn't sound appealing to me. It's not solving any problems, and the stance on it sounds like a waste of time. Wake me up when there's one that does 4x damage with a single round clip.

Why I use the revolver is it draws quick and packs enough punch to quickly sit down specials, mostly zerkers, trappers, busters, and snipers. As a Zealot you're going to be working revolver shots into your melee combos. Allows you to push straight through hard points when carving a path to the back line.

Tips for Zealot: learn to use sideways dodging for forward movement. It's pretty unbelievable just how big of a group you can stand in the middle of and not take any damage from if you're quick with movement. A good strategy is to blitz the ranged enemies in the group and make them put away their guns. Zerkers are your nemesis and get the big iron as soon as you see them..

Why exclude Psykers?

Because psykers are far, far better off using their staves.

Zealots

Zealots have a talent that gives you a buff when you empty a mag in your weapon to empty and the Revolver has only 5-6 shots so, it's easy to empty it, it's easy to keep it empty, it's easy to put a single round in, use it, get buffed because you just emptied the weapon, and keep fighting in melee with the buff on for a short time before you wash, rinse, repeat.

Vet, obviously. Its a range focused class.

And yet the revolver has so little ammo, making it counter productive to use on a ranged focused class.

Don't get me wrong you can make it work but, it's much better on the Zealot, especially if you take the talent to capitalize on it.

[Terminator]

zealots, cause vets can use other guns with more bullets and zealots just need to kill occasional gunner or sniper and continue to melee. but you know i saw ranged zealot, he was a complete burden for a team.

[BigDaddyNips]

Psykers, probably.

[box]

The Vet uses it better but the idea of deleting a target instantly is attractive on a Zealot.

Currently the new revolver seems more a trap/novelty and isnt as strong in either range or damage.

[Netaris]

Probably zealots, because veterans have better options. I will not use it anyway, I prefer auto rifles.
