Sickle got stealth nerfed
Not on a high temp planet FYI....the sickle overheats alot faster now. Dishonest devs snuck a nerf in.

update: some trolls have claimed its in the patch notes - IT ISNT! check yourself. the devs cant help themselves, they still sneakily smuggle in nerfs.

Not trying to start **** here, but I can't seem the find this anywhere in the patch notes.

I tried ctrl-f on heat and the only thing that came up was about the quasar cannon being affected by the extreme cold/heat modifiers now.
Same here, seems to me like it was snuck in. It makes me wonder. The Railgun also works on heat, did that get nerfed in this way too? He also mentions it's happening on *not* high temp planets which seems like unintended behavior even for the intended change to the Quasar.

I don’t really use it, because imo it was never great. Idk why they would make it overheat faster

its actually the best primary in the game hence why they nerfed it

Heat management is the trade off to what is effectively infinite ammunition when used correctly. Use it in bursts, don't just sit on the trigger, and the heat sink will last for ages.

Irrelevant comment. They nerfed the sickle without putting it in the patch notes.

I've always preferred ballistic/ kinetic weapons because of this.

its not in the patch notes, hes either a liar or cant read that it actually mentions the quasar having a change, not other energy weps.

whats funny is even with the nerf the sickle is still the best crowd clearing gun. what im annoyed about is the fact the devs snuck a nerf in, they just cant help themselves.

One day you will understand the sickle is not a spray'n'pray gun, shoot in short burst, you never will need to reload it, at most one time or two in a full mission.

And who the hell cares about a stealth nerf if the nerf means nothing for the performance of the gun?, the only troll here is you, crying over a non issue.

Get your ducks in a row, brother.

Gun was always a B+ to A tier not the end of the world. Only used it for like 2 weeks when it came out and moved on. Good gun, overrated though.
