Heavy Bow-gun bug?

[Nazotech]

My shots keep curving to the left ever since the last patch. Anyone else have this issue?

What's the deviation of the gun? Some have non-standard ones, like projectiles curving left or right after firing.

Heh, not a bug. Just one of the many stats that Bowguns have. It's called Deviation, check if your bowgun has a Deviation value like "L Severe" or similar. It causes your shots to curve to the left or right.

There's a skill to reduce the Deviation of your bowgun if it annoys you. I would recommend getting damage skills first, but if you want, the skill is called Steadiness (Sniper Jewel 1)

Haha.

[Doseph Doestar]

some guns now have deviation, not a bug but it is slightly annoying at first

Dango Temper also increases deviation. So if your gun doesn't have innate deviation that might have caused it to get some.

true

I usually eat temper when I'm using HBG, the deviation doesnt bother me enough and I like the extra damage. not sure how much it is though

It's just one stage of deviation. This means packing 1 level of Sniper/Steadiness will keep you at no deviation even if you eat Temper if you have an open level 1 slot.

Dango Temper is 5% damage increase for Normal, Spread, Pierce, Shrapnel, Elemental, and Wyvern ammo in exchange for +1 deviation.
