Stun Gun coming back?

[168ada]

it's been several weeks since Stun Gun was removed and initially still reworked on it. By the end of Season 5 and the start of Season 6, do you all think it will come back?

It HAS been nice since it was removed lol! However, I do think it will eventually come back in some form, once they figure out how to balance it. The problem is, in its current form, the stun gun acted more like a crutch. Instead of promoting or improving skilled play, new players relied on it to get kills, skilled players used it to inflate their kdr.

I hope not. I don't think stuns in FPS games has ever actually been a good idea.

I hope not. Even flash nade on good L hands is bad enough...

My only complaint about the stun gun being removed is that bads aren't giving me a headstart on killing them anymore.

i agree hope they take the flash nades out, as there basically just annoying, a low skilled option for people who cant aim.

I love flashes and smokes, glad every class has them

IMHO, he will return, and there will be practically no rework as such. Yes, let's say the visual effect will change when fired (it will become more noticeable, there will be more light/bright effect, etc.), yes, let's say they will change the duration of the stun-effect, yes, let's say now the person against whom this gadget will be used will be able to step sideways a little faster than usual. But I think there won't be a smart rework, and a gadget that destroys the mobility of players and the dynamics of the game as a whole shouldn't exist in the game, at least not in the hands of the already fastest class in the game. And this will still remain a gadget from the "EZ kill gadget" cycle, and a gadget that is simply not interesting to play against.
The glitch mine had a good rework, which gave a clear feeling that the gadget was already working differently, and it made more sense to use it. And that they really worked on the gadget's rework.

I felt like it really helped with some balancing issues with sword, sledge, and other prevalent melees. It was also a really good strategy based equipment that allowed cashbox steals, steal prevention, and getaway strategies. I believe a balanced thing would be to make the freeze only last for a second, while making the ability cancel maybe 2 seconds increase the cool down a bit, but still retain the "cancelling" nature of the stun gun

hopefully, i have barely played it since removing it, also need two nades back at once.

I'll be chocked if It does come back

Hmm, it's a bit surprising, but it hasn't been returned yet. It seemed that he would be brought back immediately after the start of season 6.
