Bsar Kues Special Operation Forces 0	Posted - 2014.09.25 13:15:00 - [1] - Quote I liked the Boltpistol as it appeared with Uprising 1.8. I thought "Wow, a pistol that shoots projectils with hihgspeed. It has to charge but who cares. The damage it deals is 150 HP". So I used it often and liked it very much as it was. But now it is even in my eyes OP. I could understand if CCP increased it to 180. But seriously.... From 150 to 229? I really hope it is a mistake. Or else there will follow posts from other players saying the Boltpistol is overpowered.

I killed a advanced Caldari Assault with three shots. If u like to be a badass take the caldari scout and equip two boltpistols and two nanohives and you can kill half of the enemy team on your own.

The ability to drop a Scout in 1-2 hits is great. Perhaps a little tweak, but let the game normalize. As for the Breach Scrambler Pistol, yea, its pretty high up on the list of OP stuff. But, the Breach is losing about 30 points of damage soon. If you find an issue and I stumble upon your thread, I will do my darnedest to get the issue known. Also, Raptors...

But, the Breach is losing about 30 points of damage soon. In my opinion it is not normal if I am able to take a scout down with 1-2 shots. And assaults with 2-4 shots. It is like the Flaylock at the beginning. I know what I am speaking of. I got shot many times since Delta with that damn Boltpistol. One scout killed me four times in a row while i was running my advanced assault. OOooohhhh.....Project Legion..... Come on guys feed CCP with your Money and get kicked into your ass. Screw U
Jebus McKing Legio DXIV 680	Posted - 2014.09.25 13:47:00 - [6] - Quote The BoP is fine. It is now finally equally useful as an SMG IMO. People complain that you can kill MLT and starter fits in 2 shots, but the truth is those starter fits wouldn't stand a chance against a SMG either. The thing is, it is a real skill shot weapon. You have a charge-up and only 4 shots in a clip. So IMO if you can make those shots hit they should deal a lot of damage. You have to post numbers and math to be taken seriously. // @JebusMcKing

Jack 3enimble Vengeance Unbound Dark Taboo 402	Posted - 2014.09.25 14:34:00 - [9] - Quote The bolt pistol seems op because everybody and their mothers are running armor suits. Claiming that the bolt pistol is OP is a little bit over the top because: - BP has to charge on every shot, if you know how to strafe this is easy to counter - BP has a 4 round clip - BP has low ammo carried - BP can't spray and pray I think that although the base damage is high CCP did a good job on the bolt pistol. Now that it kills people you'll get the OP claims. I've used the bolt pistol quite often on my scout before the buff and can honestly say it's a skill shot weapon, If you miss 1 of your shots you're screwed. I think that vs other side arms you'll have a 50/50 chance in a head on gun fight like you're supposed to. Keep in mind it's only out for one day in its current state so people will try it, however I still believe people will favor the higher clip size sidearms in the end.
Vesta Opalus Kang Lo Holding 35	Posted - 2014.09.25 15:03:00 - [10] - Quote Have bolt pistol protod out here, its still second fiddle to the SMG. #1. It is pretty bad in close range, which for a sidearm is a pretty strong reason not to use it. #2. Every light weapon out ranges it except the shotgun, and every one of them out dpses it, so at all points in its effective range you are the underdog. That said its a very quiet weapon and most people cant really tell where its coming from, which means if you are at the high end of the range pecking at people they will generally stumble around like idiots until you kill them Yes this will kill untanked scouts in 1-2 shots and starter fits/low tank mediums in 2-3, but so will everything else. You will never see a scout using a bolt pistol over a shotgun or an amar using a bolt pistol over a scrambler rifle, nothing to see here. It still sucks and the only fit I personally use it on is still my sidearm troll suit.

If you hit with every shot, then yes the BoP should finish off even Heavies. But at a ~1000 damage per clip the BoP alone will not kill most heavies. A few things... First, it's a heck of a lot easier to hit on every shot of the BoP than even half the shots on a SMG. Alpha weapons simply work this way. Second, you have forgotten the headshot bonus, which is HUGE, and allows you to kill any suit in the game well before the clip is emptied. Third, it's a finishing weapon, not a primary, so judging a sidearm on its damage per clip and then comparing that to suit EHP is not a realistic use case.
TOOMANY NAMES ALREADYTAKEn Going for the gold 180	Posted - 2014.09.25 15:47:00 - [15] - Quote I killed a full HP Gal starter fit with one BP shot to the head, it's OP. 32 kills with militia shotgun. OP? naaaaaah
Bsar Kues Special Operation Forces 0	Posted - 2014.09.25 16:03:00 - [16] - Quote It is pointless to compare the Boltpistol with the SMG. The Boltpistol is from mid, far and close range absolutely deadly. Do not tell me it has to charge and because of the time it has to charge it is less dangerous. I tried a fitting with boltpistol and I killed assaults, no matter if caldari minmatar or shield based or armor based, with one clip. I am no veteran player I am just an average player and had more kills than usual. The charge time does not matter because, if you have a scout, caldari, it is easy to see the enemy before he can see you. So you can shoot from behind. With a headshot you get a 1 hit kill. I also killed a assault from mid range with two shots. The only method to evade the boltpistol easy is to hide or you get support. It was even easier for me to kill enemys when they were jumping around.

BL4CKST4R La Muerte Eterna Dark Taboo 3121	Posted - 2014.09.25 16:20:00 - [19] - Quote Technically it is not op the reason it seems op is that there is so much power behind the first shot which is usually easy to make on an unsuspecting enemy that you will overwhelm then and instead of them trying to fight back they will run, depending on the situation it should be easy to predict where they will run to. All this being done and processed by your brain in less than 2 seconds make it feel like you just brutalized your enemy. We can remove this effect without changing the Dps by reducing the damage and increasing rof. One factor of it that IS op is that it is to good at cq. supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Assault smg has a ROF increase yet people only see the damage nerf I have proto SMG that has no trouble killing people, just like my bolt pistol can do now. Difference is bolt pistol has to do it in 4 shots so you have to make sure it counts

The Bolt Pistol has DPS that fits its range and weapon class profile. 386 DPS, which is the least of the pistols. It's fine. I too believed that it was OP before, but Rattati showed me that I was missing a balancing factor that cut the weapon down to line.

Its better for medium range or cqc as a finisher on heavies or an instant death on retards in militia or medium frames. It take actually skill to use. I used proto bolts before this damage buff. They still take the same amount of skill to use. Don't cry about damage. Read the description on the proto bolt.

Keep in mind it's only out for one day in its current state so people will try it, however I still believe people will favor the higher clip size sidearms in the end. lol that is now before it just had a range dropoff damage % issue it was 150 damage 6 clip 36 ammo. it is not a spray and pray sidearm it was meant for mid to long range attacks. the charge up is very quick and it is perfect to reaim between shots. now it is op with on shield 225% headshot with a basic bp of 229 that is over 515.25 damage remember it goes up to 245% when it hits armor. so if a suit has 400 shield 150 armor the damage goes 400 to shield but the 115 turns into 125 so the suit would have 25 armor left the is not counting any proficiency in it. with level 1 prof the suit would be dead. how is that not OP? remember this is a SIDEARM not a shotgun or nova knives. it is a sniper rifle at 10 - 80 meters. A scr can chargeable ohk a ton of suits, so can a sg or a pair of nk the key factors in all those weapons is skill. in the time it takes to kill with a smg it would be equal or quicker than a bp. Although i am probably biased because ive used it as my main weapon since its release, i have the timing down and my skills up, i can and have killed a heavy in a bp vs hmg dual with a few shots but im pro 5, reload 5 and damage mods so i can drop about 700 hp off you in 2/3 shots thats about 3 to five seconds which is more than enough time for my smg to destroy you, just feels like a worse death because my two skill shots beat your lousy spray n pray. Dont worry your ego will heal. DONT EVER COMPLAIN, USE CAPS LOCK OR POINT OUT WHAT BROKEN WITH OUR GAME OR WE WILL DEFINITELY BAN YOUR ASS FOR 6 MONTHS

Aria Gomes The dyst0pian Corporation 533	Posted - 2014.09.26 11:01:00 - [47] - Quote It's bit crazy than it was in Hotfix Charlie. I got proficiency 3 in Bolt Pistol and it destroys everything. I oneshotted an Amarr scout last night with a headshot. The proficiency really makes this gun shine though. I haven't tried the breach pistol yet but the Breach AR is good too. Well it's been good since Charlie but yeah Bolt is nasty now. I knew a made a great choice with putting points in that crazy little thing.
CommanderBolt KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 1773	Posted - 2014.09.26 11:24:00 - [48] - Quote I like the increased power with the sidearms but I do agree, I think they went a little too far with the Bolt pistol. Possibly with the breach scrambler too although I have been seeing the bolt pistol a hell of a lot more.

Jathniel G I A N T 1165	Posted - 2014.09.26 12:14:00 - [50] - Quote lol a thread full of "Bolt Pistol is OP" goodness. lol amazing. The Bolt Pistol is OP. It's damage and clip size was fine before. All it needed was a really good range buff... it should have had the highest range of the sidearms if anything. Now the only way to balance it, is to disable Aim Assist for it. The thing has a sight, but works better in hip fire. lmao. lol I fkin called it. pats self on back Set your goals high, and shoot for the moon; even if you miss you'll land amongst the stars.

Claiming that the bolt pistol is OP is a little bit over the top because: - BP has to charge on every shot, if you know how to strafe this is easy to counter - BP has a 4 round clip - BP has low ammo carried - BP can't spray and pray I think that although the base damage is high CCP did a good job on the bolt pistol. Now that it kills people you'll get the OP claims.

DEZKA DIABLO THE FOOTCLAN 704	Posted - 2014.09.27 20:16:00 - [55] - Quote Ive had the bolt at proficiency 5 for a long time and i honestly think the only buff it needed was two in the clip, and the reload fix and pg reduction, its wicked as now and maybe too good but im also rocking it on a pro cal scout with 3 damage mods and pro five which does approximately 340 a shot lol which means its got great dps on its own and even better if your knocking off shield for the cr or using a scr or scp to remove shields and the bp as the kill shot, which would explain the killfeed But if your gonna do anything to change it revert the damage to old and return the clip size, thats all. Do not flaylock it! It was my favorite gun and i ve been getting 20 kill games using it with knives since before it had hype, it should hit hard and too many people have underestimated its power because nobody used it, things always been beast but before hit detection was severely broken. Maybe take 20 damage off at most or even more but dont change the charge time; although i had the old charge time perfectly timed in my head and honestly either way im gonna wreck with it, i use three damage mods and have proficiency and reload maxed , i really just wished the gun remained the best kept secret in dust, but thats always ruined by some jackass writing a thread trying to be a hero!
