the breaker nerf isnt even that bad

[HamBunger]

it still shreds, the recoil is still easy to control and honestly the ammo the decrease is not that bad, sure you have to reload a lot more, however if you manage your shots its still a good gun.
i just dont get the outrage, in all honesty its a based nerf imo, also stop using the same guns all through the game, there are some really good guns that are honestly better then the breaker that you can use.

Breaker nerf was so random it hasnt broke anything

[Crash9010]

its more ammo hungry but still works as a weapon so i am not too worried about that one. would love for them to improve more primaries like assault rifles.

I agree, it's not that big of a nerf. Less mag capacity means more aiming, less spraying. Also recoil increase is fine for me, for the same reasons.
I actually find the assault rifles and the marksman rifles could need some love.

The Breaker nerf more or less just seems to have dialed back the "Mindlessly spam it" issue, which is probably fair.

Wait until 4-6 chargers shows up

yes agree i feel like the default assault rifle needs a buff and the first dmr you get.
they are great guns but they get so useless until you do higher difficulties

I still use the breaker and railgun in extreme difficulties... learn to play...
Now even the other 3 shotguns are also viable (no the brand one)

How is that an issue? The damage is the same, the fire rate is the same, you just need to aim a little bit better because of increased recoil and reload a bit more often. No problem here.

1) There was no real need to nerf it. Their justification of "use strats to kill stuff" is lame, people are using strats to kill stuff but it's not enough. The higher difficulty goes the more you need to rely on decent primary as there is too much going on to simply rely on strats. They didn't address that in slightest.
2) There is a bunch of other weapons that are in desperate need of a buff, why ignore them?

Two points combined looks like a shoddy attempt to shake up meta so people aren't bored, but without effort to actually balance weapons.

Breaker adjustment is fine. It still clears trash effectively but cant snipe spore spewers across the map anymore...

Grab 2 scorchers and 2 breakers and play as a team?

From what I understand the devs don't want us relying on our primaries but stratagems and teamwork. The breaker still feels really good compared to the other weapons after testing it.
