Do you want Heavy to have a sniper rifle instead?

Thats the whole point of the ks-23 tho, no? They nerfed the spray pattern on the lewis gun, making it harder to beam people on long ranges. Then add a slug shotgun, slugs are for long range shooting. So its effectively a heavy sniper.

How can the lever action, which shoots F-ING PELLETS, have more effect at range than the KS-23!

I mean for real from a longer chambering animation, longer reload animation, no ADS FFS who the heck decided that one?!! An actual dumpster fire of a weapon, who ever pitched it should be fired period.

Real. The medium shotgun is better in all aspects. I guess the only good thing about the Heavy KS-23 is that it can destroy walls with 3 bullets.

You guys dont know how good the KS was before the nerf, you just had to learn to hit your shots with it and stick with your team and it equaled to easily one of the best weapons for heavy. Almost 420 hours on this game, coming from a diamond medium main. The KS was really good, its just people didnt give it a proper shot, which is really sad.

massive decrease in damage it actually takes an extra slug to kill everyone and lights dont die to a slug+quick melee anymore.

the faster pumping and fire rate feels nice but these PROJECTILES are already very difficult to land. any good player will try to dodge them so needing to land an additional hit is actually quite the big nerf.

yeah because its spread isnt bad and its a hitscan weapon. slugs on the other side are very slow very hard to land projectiles so although you CAN get some kills at range, the 1887 is simply more reliable for the job. Not to mention you can't even aim the KS-23, it always has spread even when holding the aim button. very awkward.

If you for a second thought that lights dying to a slug+quick melee was gonna stay in the game, you really are delusional. Devs LOVE their light classes and I am sure they heard enough complaints from lil light ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about how they would get onetapped by the ks23. Idk what you are talking about "hard to hit", as far as I am concerned it is easier to hit shots when your weapon shoots faster. Mb you are just used to the old ks rpm. Moreover due to the rpm increase, the ttk is lower. If you hit your shots you will kill people faster even when firing more shots due to the damage decrease. Is the ks23 better after the rebalancing? Yeah, is it viable in ranked? No, lewis gun and sa1216 still outperform it in every aspect.

Sure is.

[JIM HELL]

KS23 needs something extra.

What if the slug exploded into a small puff of smoke for a second or two? Or fire... or poison... Let us fill the slugs with toxic substances!!!!
