Blasters need a range reduction. Having to come within range of infantry AV would go a long way to evening out the fight.

I wouldn't mind a little more spread that makes getting max DPS on a dropsuit more difficult at the 75m range.

The scattered variant was removed, it traded reduced range for an increase in damage, current Pro blaster Ion Cannon 136.5 damage (these are off hand estimates I may be off by .1 or something). 1.6 best Pro blaster Scattered Ion Cannon 150.5 damage. So far the base damage was reduced by getting rid of the scattered variant 9/10 tankers used scattered variants.

3 separate passive upgrades totaling to 30% extra damage were removed so the Scattered Ion Cannon could deal almost 200 Damage a shot

There was 1 passive Upgrade that increased range by 15%

There was 1 passive Upgrade that increased blaster zoom by 10%

Active Heat sinks have been removed they allowed for tanks to fire for an extended period of time I believe it was 57% longer and was easy to fit, damage mods are now active and high slots a substitute for heat sinks but are extremely hard to fit usually requiring a CPU upgrade so you lose tank.

Blasters are also pretty awful tank vs. tank sure I kill dozens of militia rail nubs who don't know how to fit their tank but if they know what they are doing it is very difficult to win a tank battle

Please don't double nerf our blasters I do agree they require a little bit of tweaking I would personally like a slight damage reduction 15% max for increased hit detection hit detection is (often delayed so I hit you 2 sec later you receive damage, ever get hit behind a wall it's likely that you got hit before going behind the wall it just registered when you ducked behind it, or I will flat out hit someone 3 times in the face and they don't drop a single hit point of shield) I would also like a range reduction we do shoot a "little" too far for a close range weapon.

Lower rof.
Increase damage but like 2x what it is now.
Reduce heat limit.


It fires slower, deals more damage, but can't fire for a long period of time. This allows it to still be effective against infantry, and vehicles. But can't dominate them.

It doesn't matter mate Tanking is boring as hell now all you need is an MLT fit Sica and I can down far better fit tanks, far more skilled tankers, all without having to leave the red line.....

And this is all you ever see in matches, Scrubs who have realised how **** poor they are at tanking not risking themselves or their investments to achieve total map and vehicle superiority at no cost to them.

It's just bad business to Tank outside the Redline....
