I don't get the Gonne-6
What's the point of the weapon if it literally only has a single shot? I know it can be used for xyz, but a singular shot? Really?

Because they ONLY want to be used to destoy bulletproof gadgets and nothing more

I guess I understand that, but it seems so redundant to add an entire weapon that replaces your secondary, just for 1 shot to destroy a bulletproof gadget. Like, frags work just fine. They could have made something more creative/useful

I agree, they want a team-based game where attackers need to combine all their gadgets to win, then they pull something like this that makes no sense. Seems a bit useless, but I'm sure I'll use it eventually

I think its absolutely pointless since it has 1 shot, does practically no damage and replaces a weapon that could potentially save you in a pinch. Its just for the people that cried about how OP grenades are.

Grenades have too much utility and killing power. They want the Gonne 6 to be a more direct counter to gadgets. I doubt it'll remain a single shot forever. I also don't think it should replace a pistol, it should be a secondary gadget. Ubi will probably see how things work out with it and change loadouts accordingly. I already forgot I had it as Zero, might have won me a round if I remembered I had it. It's not intuitive in a secondary weapon slot.

its basically ash's launcher with smaller radius and only 1 shot

You know it's going to be bad when GetFlanked starts defending something before it was even announced.

Pistols aren't always that useful, so you get to weigh up if you want to have a pistol or blow up a deployable or something.

Jager and Wamai send their regards ;)

Haven't really found a use for it.

Because it's a hand cannon with one shot that can be countered by Jager, the most commonly seen defense operator, it is way too situational.

I get why they made it one shot, because it would severely nerf operators like Melusi and Maestro otherwise, but how about we don't implement bulletproof gadgets with that much utility into the game in the first place?

The Gonne-6 feels like a band-aid rather than a reliable counter. It certainly doesn't justify Dokkaebi and Finka losing their frag grenades as those were slight nerfs that neither of them needed.

If the Gonne-6 ever gets buffed, then maybe it would make up for it, but it just seems like they've designed themselves into a corner and are trying to get out of it instead of admitting bulletproof gadgets are a flawed concept.

Pistols are more useful too because of the reduced ADS time, so if you're rushing a Clash for example, then you can aim for her head and get the shot before she tries to shoot you down for rushing her.

Another issue is if you grab the hostage, you better not have the Gonne-6 selected.

I actually think the Gonne-6 can be decent on some ops. For example, finka. You don't really need to ever use a pistol since the LMG has 100 bullets, and this new secondary allows her to not be completely helpless against a deployable if alone

What are you taling about, Finka lost 2 nades and got 1 gonne charge instead. That's a nerf.

Did I say that finka wasn't nerfed?

Finka with frags was obviously better, but now that she doesn't have frags at least she has the Gonne-6 as consolation. IMO Gonne-6 > pistol for her rn

Agreed. It's also good on Lion because the V308 has such good ammo economy and angled grip reduces the advantage of a pistol.

Wish they'd just give Zero his frags back though.

nope! she was fine with nades... dunno why they decided to nerf an already weak op
