ARC-12 Blitzer

[robert.s_a]

Its clearly the most OP bug weapon now and needs a nerf.

I would in fact support the removal of at least 50% of its ammo count, for balance.

Blitzer NEEDS ammo. It's unlimited right now, which is OP.

if im not running supply pack i've been taking blitzer ever since it got a hit fix with fire rate buff. However most of the time on bugs I like to run fire shotty with supply pack and HMG. Grenade pistol rounds for days. 500kg and the basic strike with stun grenades. It's a breeze. Bugs is afk at this point with this loadout. Fire shotty/grenade pistol/stun grenade/HMG/supply pack/500kg/precison.

A stun grenade and like 30 rounds of the hmg to the rear of a charger and it dies. like 30-50 rounds to the sack of a bile and it dies. The loadout just wrecks bugs. I really don't understand people still crying about nerfs. It never impacted my performance. As soon as precision strike got a call in reduction I insisted on incorporating it to my loadouts. Precision strike can get 2 for 1 on chargers.

I am 100% sure that as one of the remaining viable primaries, Blitzer is the next one to get the nerf hammer.

I'd assume its next in line after the dominator (again).

Then again, considering the Blitzer's bugs are all still there, i'm somewhat convinced that the only reason it's not nerfed yet is because AH genuinely forgot it existed.

people crying about nerfs don't even play the game

Why would they nerf a gun that they buff three times already?

Because they are incompetent. They've already done this circus act with a number of weapons.

no? Not at all. So far weapons that gotten a buff haven't got a nerf yet. Look at the dominator, arguably the best bot gun, hasn't gotten nerf yet after getting buff many times.

Firebreaker released in a useless state, then got a buff, followed by a recent nerf.

Flamethrower received multiple buffs, then got nerfed recently.

Slugger had buffs followed by nerfs.

Call me crazy but for the sake of balance I feel like the Blitzer should do 1 damage for balance of course it has infinite ammo and the slowest RoF in the game clearly OP

(Honest to god though I do like the Blitzer as a weapon if anything the Sickle needs a buff but everytime someone tells me its good they get like 20 kills per mission, constantly have to swap because it overheats in like 4 seconds, and it deals piss damage if it even hits)

Defender and Pummeller are and have always been the best bug primaries.

Just remember to only walk forward while shooting.
You wouldn't want to decrease the strength of your shot by doing something as silly as taking a step backwards...would you? :P

Then you get shirker patrols and cry as they tear you apart because all 4 of you bring this "meta" weapon.

Arc Blitzer does pretty well against shriekers tbf. Not as good as a regular shotgun, but generally better than ARs or SMGs. Unless you're shooting them at long range, for some reason.

So its better to wait for them to come down and attack you then to shoot them out of the sky with a AR or SMG
