Uppernerf
and I'm here for it!

The upperCUT will have drop-off from 15m and will now do 123 dmg, below the 125 threshold

I want to go in depth about this but it's good and bad.
I just hope my UpperMAT survives; it is physically 2x the size of the uppercut after all....

One or 2 videos prior, they show the Uppermat as Haymaker and also shows less than 125 dmg. That´s not a game changer and to be honest, can be fair since they are secondary weapons that can down a hunter missing a bar (and thats a great advantage in this game).

If they did this to 3 slot long ammo, the impact will be huge... Like the Krag pre buff...
In those revolvers this nerf wont be so great... The ''nerf'' will impact a lot more shotgun users that use those weapons at something more viable to mid range fight.

I've heard about the Haymaker, but missed that video; that's a genuine pity because the uppermat is my bby, it's my preferred load out. I guess I'll have to make an actual effort and find the video discussing it's rework.

ah yes, the price at launch of the weapon is normal; it's always around 'half' it's final price because they want it to get used so they can test the metrics out and adjust at the event's end without upsetting too many people going forward.
my main thing wtih the uppermat is it gives me compund control; I'll miss the 125 dmg, for sure; but running thta means I've got a hard hitter, a shotgun, and room for something utility - whether that's a bow for concertina/explo, another uppermat for more ammo or specialtype, or something troll/fun like dual chains

I preferred the uppermat back when it only did 120. Glad they're putting it back, keeps the tryhards away from my favorite gun.

Uppermat shoots faster, have more bullet velocity and have the shotgun option and also a bit cheaper... I find it more usefull, but Uppercut can use ''fanning'' trait and the single slot is a hard point to ignore.

Damage reduction will affect both at the same rate, thats important... Before the buff on Uppermat thats basically a forgotten weapon... At this point at least is rare.
