Sniper Barrel Mod = The Most Frustrating "Upgrade"

[Ramaloke]

The number of runs I've had ruined by the 50% movement penalty is absolutely insane. The first upgrade in the chain is basically a nerf 100% of the time. If I'm going for a build that will use it I have to actively ignore it until it is the very last upgrade simply because of how ruinous it is to your ability to survive.

Sniper barrel really needs some tweaking, agreed. The speed debuff is just too big.

[Quinn The Lab Cat]

maybe if the debuff added a buff based on the loss like on the armor stock does it would be more worth it, but its not.

You are braver than I am. I chose that upgrade once...
... and never again.

One could just build it to be a crit monster?

The trick is to have an Exclusion Zone gun in your drone. That is, the "Containment Field" and whatever explosive gun you hate the less, better if you use the splitter and/or helix to multiply the number of things keeping enemies out of your face. I've used RPG and Shotgun and they're basically a forcefield.

But other than that, increasing armor, and what Tyyne suggests. Make it so almost everything dies as soon as you come close to them, and what doesn't die regrets not dying for the few seconds it gets to live.
