Railgun shots bouncing off of armor?

[ÐåŕķMệşşịäħ]

Who thought these nerfs were smart?

Now my whole squad doesn't want to play the game anymore.

It's funny that this part of the nerf is actually illogical, ain't that thing made specifically to melt through armor? I may be wrong but hey

Yeah, it's illogical to have a gun with the following in game description: "An experimental weapon which prioritizes armor penetration."

The rounds now bounce off of armor and hardly has any armor penetration. It's disappointing.

Guess your whole squad shouldn't have been relying on a single weapon?

Hold R then click M2 to switch to unsafe mode. Charge your shot for close to 4 seconds and fire. Armor striped off charger's leg in 3 shots.

[Katitoff]

This is the time where all you railgunners learn about firing modes if you hold R.

If that is the case for your squad, you probably play on difficulty you never should be at if you can't handle it without most overpowered weapon in game.

[Eightball]

I am guessing you are not using it in 'unsafe' mode.

Safe Mode was never intended to punch through heavy armor. Your crutch is gone and now you have to learn to use Unsafe Mode or get better at aiming for weakpoints with Safe Mode.

Honestly, now there isnt a point to have a safe mode, I mean why? it serves nothing

Weakpoints.

That's literally in the description.

Although this requires having to learn to aim.

find a new squad. Play with better players who can aim at weakpoints or move to lower level lobbies.

it has the same purpose as to why we have trivial difficulty.

why would devs add armor mechanic to the game, and then made a weapon that can ignore it with no downside? This balance patch is how it should be.

Yeah good luck tring to shot down the legs of a charger now with safe mode.

Maybe their whole squad should hold R and overcharge the railgun to penetrate armor.

Skill Issue

You just need to take it off safe mode and only shoot at max charge which is more tedious but basically will do the same exact job in terms of breaking charger legs and probaly taking out the titan in the eye but I have not tested it that much since the changes.
