about nerfing conductive thermals overclock

[RealNigga100%Legit]

tbh i want it to stay op, the drak is worthless without it, and it makes you so vulnerable agains't every enemy that scout should kill that it is kinda balanced

Shield Battery Booster is my daily Scout primary.

i heard someone say the devs said something about wanting to nerf conductive in a livestream

i found this on the development Q&A page[deeprockgalactic.wiki.gg] on the wiki:

Equipment - Overclocks Nerf Conductive Thermals Maybe, Mike hasn't had the time to assess if nerfs are needed; they're aware of the conversation around it

so, not a confirmed statement that they will do it. they've always been very noncommittal about announcing balance changes before they're confirmed and in the game (which is overall the right thing to do)
and honestly i doubt they will. overall community consensus is that conductive thermals sucks, they're not going to nerf it because you can sometimes use it to kill elemental-vulnerable enemies easier or freeze dreadnoughts a little bit faster

i think it's more likely they just won't change it at all because it at least has a use case, compared to absolute ♥♥♥♥♥ like burst fire GK2

on a somewhat related note, if we do get any balance changes, they will likely come in a september hotfix based on this quote:

Gameplay Fix the Core Stone shield exploit It should be already fixed internally, the question is when it will be rolled out (likely September)
