Please nerf the uppercut and bring pistols down a notch.
Its bad enough that you have super weapons like the nitro... the uppercut is VERY WIDELY known to be broken, hence why it is the most popular choice for players. Reduce its damage and reload time, or increase the cost to the nitro level. Over 1k for the weapon. Its basically a cheat. 1 shot kills dont belong in this game unless they are headshots.
I had three matches at the end of my teams nights tonight where players shot me with a "headshot" (we all know your hitbox registry is horrible in this game. So, whatever.) One of them was THROUGH A TREE; a legit tree like you find at the edge of the map. This needs to be tempered realistically.
Its been overpowered for a long long long time now, its time to take a look at it and reduce its damage or increase its cost significantly.

Furthermore, the increases in damage to all the pistols is a bit much. We now have pistols doing nearly as much or more than rifles... and they have pretty much the same range. Pistols should be a back up, and realistically have an accurate range of about 25 meters. Not 75 and 100 or more... As an actual experienced rifleman, I can tell you that pistols are for CLOSE RANGE, not winging 100 percent head shots through walls at 43 meters. Thats just poor development on your part devs.

Please temper the uppercut, and bring pistols down a gain.

The Nitro isn't a "super weapon". It's balanced, but it's frankly on the weaker side of balanced. The Uppercut isn't broken either. While it is generally the most common or """best""" pistol, the same can be said for the Mosin. Yet the Mosin is balanced. There are several choices better than both in different scenarios, just those two happen to more or less be the best all around guns. That isn't unbalanced, it's just how the game is.

The pistols don't do all that much damage. They have notably higher damage dropoff than rifles, meaning only the uppercut has relatively substantial damage at range. Even then, it is massively weaker than any of the long ammo rifles at range.Lastly Hunt isn't designed based off of real life, but gameplay/balance. How pistols perform in real life is irrelevant to how pistols in Hunt should perform.

Nerf the uppercut? All these nerf threads are dumb, no more changes to any guns.

If it’s so overpowered buy one and try and fight a dolch.

Please uninstall the game.

If this game had bullet drop pistols wouldn't be a problem. As for now 100m headshots from 26 dollar Caldwell Conversion is something you just have to deal with.

The Caldwell Conversion can't even OHK with a headshot at 100m.

I got killed in the head from Caldwell Conversion at the 88m. Not even John Wayne himself would be able to hit the target on such distance.

Again, Hunt is a video game, not real life. The Conversion also cannot OHK to the head at 88m. You must have been missing health.

The headshot distance for small caliber Caldwell is 92 or 96 meters, don't remember exactly. I don't know why you find this so unbelievable. With no bullet drop pistols are basically one handed rifles with reduced damage on long distance.

The effective range for the Conversion is 84 meters.

It doesn't really matter because hitting anything with small caliber 19th century revolver at such distance should be near impossible, that's what i'm trying to say.

Agree

In real life, maybe. But not in Hunt.

A: hunt is a video game, not realistic. please stop playing hunt if you are looking for a realistic game.
B: uppercut isn't overpowered, it's nearly the price of a rifle, and it takes on much lower velocity, lower damage over range, much smaller headshot range, much more recoil and general clunkyness, and at the end of the day, unless they have a nagant carbine, they now have two very slow firing rifles that can be played around. I consistently drop people who use uppercut+rifle because it's just so horrible. I only take uppercut when I don't have quartermaster and i'm taking a shotgun. or I take an avtomat which is rare. it's widely regarded as more or less an ammo pouch to normal rifles.

C; the nitro sucks ♥♥♥♥. I hit someone in the arm at not 15m and it didn't kill them. I know mechanically it doesn't so I wasn't SURPRISED per se, just disappointed it's so ♥♥♥♥. calling it a super weapon is like complaining about the weakest pistol in the game.

oh wait.

all in all it's much easier to play around people who have uppercuts, and I personally don't even think it's that good, no matter how much people will take it. I have 8 hunters that have contraband ones and I have two of those 8 that are holding two right now, because I do use them, but not close enough to how much I dome people with them.

the nitro is not balanced, it's in a horrible state, and you in a previous thread said it was actually in a really good spot right now.

I just dont get why the uppercut auto loads another round in the chamber when you swap away from it and back to it..
