Is the Plasma Gun Skin a Disadvantage to the Nail Gun?
Seems like it. The nail gun projectiles are visibly harder to see. The plasma gun shows bright projectiles hurdling towards you. Thoughts?

I've heard that nails are visually harder to see since the game came out, they aren't IMO. They are just a different color. They are a Yellow Orange instead of blue. Otherwise they are incredibly easy to see.

It's not like you have time to dodge them anyway, you're at the mercy of the prediction of the shooter, if they predicted right, you're melted, period.

It works both ways, easier to see when they're comming at you and easier to see where they're going when you're spitting them at someone else :)

The disrupter is blinding you when your shooting. That's what I've expirienced.
Just use perforator :)

It depends on you. Try them all and see what you fancy.

That Constructor model is the worst imo, it blinds you but not the opponents.
The Disruptor blinds the opponents as well, probably more than you. :)

Perforator is my choice, but notably it makes more noise than the default model. (right?)

The default model is a silent killer, doesn't blind you, but somehow feels too light compared to the Perforator. That is why I stick to the Perforator. My beloved Perforator.

Always wanted the Disruptor. As I got it I've used it like 2 days just to switch back to Perforator <3<3

Do you really think it matters? Both are obvious enough. You can't really NOT see neither nails from any of the guns. It is all swag. You are just going too deep into overthinking.

What's wrong with a little talk shop? It's the QC board on steam. It's meant for discussions like this :steamfacepalm:

Nailguns graphics should just be removed imo, just a stupid idea. Make it just be plasmagun.
Should we get rockets that are sheep that explode on impact maybe?
Nailgun should be if anything be it's own weapon, q1 nailgun was and is awesome.

You asked for thoughts. You got some :)
I've always thought about applying my shop and treasure chest skins to my rare weapons. I bought the skins pack. But can't apply the cool skins to my rare weapons. :steamsad: If I want to remain color cordinated the only way is to use standard weapons. :steamsad:

I haven't played the plasma gun for ages. If I remember it feels slower rate of fire maybe. But the projectile hit area is better for close fighthing. Might be imagining it.

I use plasma centered and I don't have any problems seeing mine or other nails.

I like the plasma gun. For some reason I lead better with it. I'm not sure why, but I do.
Martine Dee Jan 27, 2019 @ 2:11am 
Yeah, the Perforator is my best. Other models feel a bit clumsy and not like the real thing. Analysing why would be sort of overthinking it (lol).

These models make difference for some people, live with it.

Is this real? my nail gun shoots MUCH slower!!!!!! atleast 3x slower, very interesting!!!

Sorry if any confusion. I'm not entirely sure what you mean, I guessed you meant the Disruptor. But not really sure.

Despite being a guild member it seems none of us have ever found this weapon yet lol. I like the special base nail gun though is quite nice too.
