Railgun useless now?

[Damien]

I just popped in trying to kill some bile titans in the head but now its deflecting off of them ?? Smh

[White Rider]

take it off safemode. people like you are why the nerf happened in the first place.

[Parzimav]

why don't read patch notes smh

[Snight01]

Yes it’s useless even in unsafe. It shouldn’t even be lvl 20 now to unlock and the current description is wrong.

Awful changes turned this game into a gigantic mess

Safe mode isn't the issue.
Unsafe mode isn't the solution.

Railgun just isn't good anymore, I haven't seen anyone use it in the D7 games I've played.

The railgun requires pin-point accuracy on non-armored locations now to be worthwhile. And with as pathetic as its 1.5x scope is, that makes for a challenge and a half.

I tried shooting one of those Bot Walkers dead on (against its armor) and it took over 4 shots to penetrate the armor now, but if you can shoot it in the leg/hip, you can down it in 1. A harder shot to nail (again, especially as a long range weapon with a 1.5x scope), but for the time being, I'm moving back to the grenade launcher.

Was using it earlier. it's fine.

Unsafe mode power up past normal safe mode charge limit, I havent seen it one shot them nothing does, seems like, only strats will 50% of the time. Still does work just not as much, its more in line with the other AT weapons but with increased spawn rate its rather more annoying annoying to kill +6 chargers. Really great against hive guard.

"Oh no, I can't one-shot one of the strongest enemies in the game now!"

Put it on unsafe mode, there's videos of testing it on bile titans and yes you can still snipe them in the head with it.

If you're having trouble you're not doing it right and either charging it very briefly or keeping it on safe mode.

Because you don't know what you're doing with it, and are likely the same kind of person that called it OP. When noobs can run around on unsafe mode and still one shot bile titans due to a bug, it overinflates peoples idea of what a weapon can do. Which is very likely one of the major factors into why it got hit with a nerf in the first place.

Read the patch notes. Against heavy armour, the railgun will not penetrate unless it's on unsafe mode and moderately charged.

EAT and RR are way better than RG.

Probably because they don't know how to use it. I had a friend toss me the weapon for the heck of it on a bot mission, it still 1 taps everything in bot missions (Aside from tanks and towers.) and penetrates just as well as it used to.
