Nitro Ultra Nerfed??!!
Ummm so basically today i got 4 hits with nitro.......no kills......and it ain't the range cause I'm sure there where 2 well within it....2 not so much. Any enlightenment here??!!

Some rational pointers from my end just to show I ain't just posting out of frustration. I do think the game needs to be kept fair but this gun is meant to tip the scales. Nerf its sights, range, recoil, fair enough. But remove the damage factor and you're left with nothing!!

//EDIT:
People should learn the damage counter before they talk.

Ammo type, velocity, penetration, gun distance, and hit location are all factors that make this game more consistent than a split second rage "Why did he not die?!".
I can't stop saying that this game is just realistic compared to others. Deal with that! However, today I learnt the hard way that there has to be a bug with some weapons, none other than our Holy Nitro.

Past close range the Nitro is basically a Sparks. The effective range is only 90m and the bullet loses massive damage the farther it goes. It will usually only 1 shot at medium range if you hit them in the upper torso, anything long range requires a headshot. It's made this way for balance purposes but if I had it my way it wouldn't because no "rifle" should 1 shot body shot in this game. When I've used it I've had this problem too. IMO the gun just isn't worth using because of how inconsistent it is.

Nitro bodyshots people at 68m I believe

It will also one tap even if you shoot in the arm at around 60 meters.

Definately not.


The hitreg from the nitro is probably the most buggy one. The gun is cool, i love it, but the hitreg from the game just kills the experience with it and lasts in the most frustring moments of the game.
Shooting players 5m in front of you, getting the mark and they´re not dead... a romero is a better Nitro than the Nitro could ever be and if you want to kill the boss faster, just use explosives / the harpoon.

Except that romero has 15m when nitro has something about 60m, nitro also has a headshot multiplier and it shots bullets, not pellets

This game is so wildly inconsistent that it's hard to say if your hitmarkers are even real or not. Half the reason I stopped playing... again... in the first place.

It's not really reliable enough to be enjoyable on a regular basis.

Except 15m is just how far you can cause bleeding damage at. In order to actually one shot anybody with the Romero you have to get a lot closer than that.

About nitro i remember when me and my friend try to test nitro damage
We matchmaking together, then met while we in same game and test the nitro.
when i shot his leg with nitro from 2m, he still alive
but, when i shot ONLY his hand (literally his hand, not his arm or shoulder) he die instantly, no piercing shot, ONLY shot his hand, so i believe arm shot will be instant kill too

but here's a thing, one day when i using nitro, i see someone run about 30-40m from my position, so i take a shot, hit her shoulder and she's still alive, like WTF!!
i shot my friend hand and he die in 1 shot, then why i shot random hunter in arm and she still alive, and dont forget about the piercing, when i shot her, her arm and her chest at the same line, so even that arm shot doesn't make her die, at least the bullet will go through her chest too.

edit : 30-40m for nitro is still enough to kill someone. i mean spark with 149 damage will hurt you about 100-125 health at 50m, so nitro with 300+ damage should kill you instantly from 30-40m



TLDR Nitro is suck, and i wont use it again even if i found it on dead hunter

Acording to this site:
https://nixatek.com/DamageCalculator.html

beyond 43m with a nitro its no longer a 1 tap to the body and id say the average mid to long fight is around 50m by saying you think they were within range states that they were around 50m when you were fighting them so you could just be wrong here

Edit: also there is a possibility you hit an arm / leg which even at point blank the damage isnt high enough

but as far as im aware its not been nerfed since the sight change (yet again i only started playing a year ago)

i figured the weapon would be a 1 tap even at like 75m because of the sight design and the gun obv having its high recoil but its suprisingly short for a weapon that has an forced aperture sight

It can one tap up to 70m with shredder ammo or close to it. The little HP it leaves you with bleeds out in just a moment.

Guy actually revived a 3 year old thread just to insult someone.

This thread was quite old before the recent posts, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
