Jar 5 dominator nerf
Just curious, how do you people feel about the damage nerf?
I'm not really mad at the other nerfs but this
to me, seems a little idiotic, the thing was intentionally buffed cause it was basically useless

Unnerf a weapon they nerfed into obscurity
Renerf it again in a few weeks.
Me waiting for the slugger to get unnerfed after they killed it for literally no reason

Yup, keep waiting bud.

Didn`t care about the damage nerfs but I was really expecting a buff in ergonomics to compensate, why does a primary weapon has the turning speed of a heavy machinegun?

Honestly it's not a huge nerf but what it does is take away the only reason you pick it besides stagger. Now it takes more clips to kill certain enemies and in my opinion has relegated it to not worth taking over other primaries.

275 damage still 1-2 shots anything that 300 damage would 1-2 shots.
I don't see a negative here

It was probably justified. It can still tap heads and stuff so it doesn't really matter much. You just can't mindlessly spray down a Devastator anymore.
It was a pointless nerf but not really an important one. Makes you wonder why they felt the need to but whatever, guns still good

Damage reduction is unnoticeable. if you miss a weakpoint or hit an armored section instead, it just sometimes means one more shot... . Thats not the end of the world some people here are pretending it is.

basically the adjustment only nerfs your performance when you're performing badly in the first place. by a little bit.

Any idea why they nerfed it, like what threshold were they trying to get under, or was it to make it match other weapons.

I tested out the post-nerf JAR-5 a few minutes ago and I did feel like I was running out of ammo faster but I don't believe its performance is so greatly diminished. Still an excellent weapon.

I would say that is an accurate review.

Should rename it to the Jar5 Submission
