Storm sniper nerfed?
Did they nerf the snipers that spawned orbs? I tried looking through the patch notes and can't seem to find that in there.

Thanks


Edit: Also seems like only heavy weapon yellows are dropping lol...

Ahh the beauty of rng. If it's not in the patch notes make sure you have hotfixes applied. If they are applied maybe there was a silent nerf

RNG is mean today or something is bugged.... I have inventory full of heavy weapons in only 3 rooms of the story.

Yeah, I noticed this as well. I was playing literally before the patch released for a bit, then took a break, updated BL3 and then carried on but noticed that the "Expert Storm" Sniper Rifle no longer has the floating orbs created when you land a shot.

Hope it's a mistake and not a silent nerf, shame as it was my go to and I'm still on my first playthrough.

Huh, that sounds like a bug honestly, the orbs where what made the storm the storm

Look like it's a bug. the Firestorm (one you were talking at start) doesn't spawn its orb anymore. It seems that they screwed up the "Orb Component" with the sniper weapons. Have to wait for a fix

Yeah, I noticed this too. No pulse-like effect when you hit something (or even the ground) and no orbs.

I too have noticed the Storm and Firestorm are broken. I wonder how they managed to do that. Needs hotfixing soon. Guess I'll have to bank them until they're fixed.

I can confirm both Storm snipers (Electric/Fire) are now broken after the hotfix (4/23/2020) was applied. No "Storm" globes appear and no real indicator that the sniper has fired.

About the heavies. If you notice this on Pandora, it's probably related to this.

Basically (As I read it)
Each zone on Pandora has one type of legendary weapon that there will have a much greater chance of spawning. There can also be a legendary gear per zone. (always a weapon type, sometimes a weapon and gear type)

Didn't look like it yesterday. I'm starting to expect this to be intended... it's just weird that they haven't adressed it.
