Is The Repeater Pistol Truly The Worst Ranged Weapon In The Game?

[gzilladude]

Honestly I really believe it is

It has no enemy pentetration so it's awful for hordes, it's terrible against specials and elites, has no armor pentetration,

It's just a worse version of the Brace Of Pistols. The Brace Of Pistols does everything better then it!

[Pungent]

It's great on Bounty Hunter (the only weapon I used in regular play), but not so much on WHC and Zealot, so you could definitely call it underwhelming when it only works well on 1/3 classes.

[The Walrus]

It penetrates unarmored ok, but you need to be very close to reliably kill stormvermin and it burns through ammo. It's basically a shotgun with a wind-up, and better monster damage. It does waaaaaay more monster damge than the brace, but that's about it. If it had more ammo and a faster secondary fire animation I'd probably use it on bounty hunter most of the time.

Kruber's repeating handgun is the worst imo but the Repeater pistol is actually really good on BH

repeater handgun on huntsman is a hybrid of handgun and blunderbuss, it's very viable, just not as specialized as the other options

Eh, I could never make it work in my long time as playing as saltz, but i have encountered a few players who were awesome with it (BH), I think it comes down to raw adaptability and skill on the part of the player. To that extent it is pretty exclusive, I always had to use the crossbow.

Its not bad at all just dont expect to get any real long range kills with it. The shotgun alt fire is amazing though as you get all your ammo back instantly.

Repeater Rifle is dog ****.

[GravePC]

It's perfectly fine.

I asked these guys last month how to make the repeater fun to use. It's a doable burst weapon, but like everyone else has said, it's ONLY good on Bounty Hunter and ONLY if you're stacking damage against type. I've come to accept that I'm only ever taking my guns out on champion or less now. If I could use it like a conventional shotgun without the animation wind-up that'd be boss.

I think Kruber's repeating handgun could be made more accurate. It's pretty good in the hands of the huntsman with the -25% spread, if they made that the default it would be an excellent weapon.

It has pretty good anti-horde power and will 2-shot most elitesin the head. But the lack of accuracy makes it hard to land consistent shots, kind of like Kruber's longbow back when it LOST accuracy with charged shots.

[Warlord]

Like most of the ranged weapons if you can aim it's good. Most players can't aim though.

[What The Sigmar?]

It is garbo on WHC and Zealot, but it's the best ranged weapon for BH imo.

I'm still experimenting with ways I might be able to make RP good on either of those two careers. I've been able to make 1H axe viable for my BH and WHC, but RP has been a lot more difficult to justify.

I remember the days it would delete cw's from the game for free. Damned if you do or damned if you don't kind of weapon (Beam I'm looking at you)

Well, I remember it was nerfed and no longer did it for free... as in you didn't have to stack any %'s just every blessed shot was a 1hko. I haven't gone back to bh for a very long time and it isn't very effective to use on zealot and whc, feels very clunky so I can't tell you what you need if you can get it.
