"The MOU53 shotgun is now triple-chambered, with a triple-fire burst mode. "
So, the double shot was already a potential instakill, but this new triple shot can now kill ancient lurkers instantly from full health, no crit or anything, so kinda luck buckmeme but stronger and at range.
It takes getting used to I guess.
I was one shotted by the tri barrel shotgun from five tiles away as a full health mature runner loaded with flechette. Is that working as intended?
Do you think that mature runner should be supposed to survive +3 shots from flechette? Gimme a break, normal marines have a hard time to hit runner that many times with normal shotguns without him escaping ASAP.Originally Posted by kroack
All you had to do was to dodge one shot BM.
I feel like acid spit is way too powerful atm, especially with the bugged pain scaling. 1 acid spit from 4 tiles away can slow you to a crawl, and 2 will orange you. 3 acid spits in close range will pain crit somebody. This is Spitter's acid spit we're talking about.
New medhud is horrible. Too unclear.

A recent log I got as a young ravager, from three or four tiles away.

Instant crit from full health. The MOU53 is broken with flechette.
Alright, what if we replaced flechette with buckshot?
Just the fact that you went full combat as young rav shows flaws in this statement. Why? Because transition from young to mature gives significant amount of HP. I'm pretty sure that mature rav can easly survive three flechette PBs from normal shotgun and still have like 50% hp. You have to also count that two shells hit you directly into head, which supposedly deals more damage.
Also count that there is only limited number of MOU53 shotguns, those restricted weapons should be more powerfull. Also count that marine after shooting burst is pretty much defenceless for couple of seconds. Dodge first burst and marine is at your mercy. Classic high risk - high reward.
Don't fight as young beno, or cry to nerf every gun in the game.
Fair enough, I'm not arguing for a huge nerf. I just found it a tad ridiculous. I've always felt that ravs feel overly squishy too but that's another gripe.
Playing as ancient prae one blast from the trishotty with flechette took me down to an 8th of my health. I didn't have any armor at the time, but still. Seems rough to me.
Also playing as an ancient lurker, blast from the MOU took me from full health to crit with 14 individual flechette blasts.

IMHO weapons and abilities capable of wrecking marine/xeno who makes no stupid mistakes in under 1-2 seconds should be extremely limited, just because it's really unfun to for both sides to deal with instant death.
From what I've seen MOU53 is very much capable of ruining all but ancient T2s and some T3s on the spot, with no way to know in advance.
