Claymore NERF - What YOU need to know...

[The adventures of Lyonic!]

There is now a personal limit of 4 claymores active at any time. That means that you can no longer try to defend a larger area and more importantly, the Support class is getting nerfed too.

What are your thoughts on this issue?

Please try and keep on topic as anyone trying to de-rail or flame will be reported.

How is someone dropping Claymores single handily controlling the map?

There was no limit, and they did not despawn on death, folks were spamming them and killing themselves, and spamimng them over and over.

The update is fixing That specific issue.

Mind you, just having them despawn on death, and keeping current limits would have been fine I feel.

Haven't played it yet since the nerf but I tend to think it's okay. Just gotta be way smarter about planting claymores now. Most important detail is that they don't vanish when you die, same with AP and AV mines. Imho the biggest spam potential would mean little if you had to hide after your planting spree. It would be very frustrating to plant dozens of claymores only to get flanked or sniped and see all those many previous minutes totally nullified. I think the devs got that part definitely the right way around.

I think it's a poor point to be saying that support were useless now. They still have armor, they can still replenish nades, RPGs and other weapons and unless you're going up against vector zoomers or throw yourself into the messiest CQC generally I even think that their LMGs still have a slight merit. In any case the justification for support to exist shouldn't be some silly claymore spam. Here is hoping that the devs will buff support with something else.

support will be getting a buff soon, not a nerf, wtf? Not being able to spam claymores is amazing

That is true, Limiting the number and allowing them to stay after death is the more logical boon, guess I got too used to call of duty there for a minute.

What is the support nerf exactly?
I'd hope its not a significant nerf.
Support was from what ive seen, in every squad i've been in, the least played class by far.

We need more incentive for everyone to not just run around as medics or snipers. Not less.

I don't understand why the removed it from support - fair enough everyone else can have limits and what not. Its bad enough I can be waiting with an lmg and someone with an SMG just insta gibs me.
