Do you think ela's Skorpion has alot of recoil?

[Refur Rauði]

I personally don*t think so but all my copper teammates think so

[Zarkus]

ye it does. but at close range it doesnt matter tbh it can even help u but at long range the game is almost imposible

Not vertical, but horizontally that ♥♥♥♥ is a nightmare after a few bullets.

The gun isn't a beast due to the low damage but as an ela main, I can tell you that all ela players aim for the head thats why Papa Ubi Thought the gun was OP smh

The MX4 Storm is basically her gun without recoil. Ela's gun feel lackluster not because of her recoil but dps. Her weapon range is so near or short and hitting a shot after 11 shots is not possible.

[XFreakZB]

Nope.

[Copy & Cat]

It can melt people fast enough at close range to do it's job before the heavy kick comes in

Not for the first few bullets. After that if I remember correctly it has a strong bias towards the left, but overall it's pretty usable if you're playing CQB and taking advantage of your mines

Weapons feel differently in different hands. I know a lot of people who are maniacs with the F2, but to me, it's nearly impossible to enjoy using it. On the flip side, I'm able to use the Vector quite well, while a friend who's arguably better than me at the game has difficulty with it.

I think Ela's primary requires a fair amount of practice to become comfortable with it. Coincidentally, I got auto picked Ela last night while playing TS with a friend, and I think the recoil is substantial, but a way to combat that is to burst fire. If you go full-auto, you'll be shooting at the moon in no time.

Well it doesn´t make sense sometimes

Ela gadget is ok i would say , it isn´t a excuse to have a poor weapon

Meanwhile mira has a great gadget and a faster shooting weapon with much less recoil ( both vector and scorpion are 23 damage )

You could say that the scorpion has 40 bullets but honestly it just isn´t worth

I can land way more bullets with vector having less bullets and higher rpm

Scorpion or ela could see some buff as it doesn´t make sense having this high recoil with a ok gadget

[Simba]

The gun has no recoil if you plat the way you're supposed to play with it. Like dont use the gun to spawn peak, use it in close quarter combat. If you're still struggling there are better roamers :/ or just use verticle with muzzle to help you tap people further. Use compensator to spray mutliple(from close range). Use flash for 3 round bursting the gun.

As from my opinion (an Ela main), The gun currently is too inconsistent to be a primary weapon. As we all know the recoil system on this game is a diamond recoil which can causes random recoils. Ela can shoot the first 11 bullets with those recoils but still with a quite a lot of horizontal recoil. I'd say 5 bullets is your only chance to hit the head. After the last nerf. her 11 shots became quite a trouble rn. 1 word to describe the weapon is "Inconsistent". I don't mind having a hard vertical recoil but having that horizontal recoil is really frustrating especially when your 3rd shot missing the head.


The only way to play the gun is to hit the head. Body shot's TTK is already quite slow compared to some good smg's with no recoil. her 40 mag is pretty much useless since the firerate is so fast that 11 bullets are gone in a blink. I still do think the buff on ela back in the operation shifting tides was fine and was never OP. Her pickrate increased because ela elite and ofc she finally became viable while Her KD increased because people are starting to use her and that buff actually made her quite consistent. People are also realizing that those KD increased due to the realization that her gadget is a free kill gadget (it still had the sens mod back then). After the recent gadget buff I do think that it is fine to buff her back since now her gadget was nerfed


edit : I see that you said that ela's vertical recoil is high "If you go full-auto, you'll be shooting at the moon in no time." I can say this statement is false since she barely have vertical recoil but a ridiculous ammount of random horizontal Recoil instead
