Sick and freaking tired of bolt pistols blapping me from no where.

Have had some fun thanks to switching a few of my primary suits to dual ScP.

Overall I give this event a C+, if the bolt pistol was more balanced I think it would get an A-. Knowing how the Dust community flocks to OP stuff the event not being around would still end up with bolt pistols everywhere but who knows.

Had the ScP not been nerfed, the bolt pistol not been buffed, or both happened, this event would've been called the Scrambler Event.

Either way, one pistol (or SMG) had to stand out above the rest. Now that the ScP is mostly out of the spotlight, the Bolt has taken its place.

The scrambler was no where near as OP as the bolt pistol is now. Even way back before the RoF nerf it did not draw 1/2 the complaints that the bolt is getting. This was due to the fact that the only way it was OP was in the hands of a skilled user who could drop a couple of head shots for a quick kill. Returning the ScP to its original damage numbers with the current rate of fire would put it far more in line with other weapons than the bolt pistol is.

Is saying oh well if that one was not OP then this one would be really the approach we should be taking to obviously overpowered weapons?

Well I'm quite happy about my new sidearm BPOs, especially my Militia Flaylock. 1.75m splash? Easily double-tap dead mercs and blow up deployables? Yes please. On a side note, I'm still throwing my Militia Ion Pistol at people. #flashbacktrama (But I guess the change in Feedback damage is a plus now right?) Closed Beta Vet // Logi Bro // @KazeEyrou

I am not a no-lifer so I figure my chances are slim, but so far I'm having fun even though not many people seem to be participating. lol Then again I haven't been playing too much in the past week.

All it was is a perspective on a current plight, mixed with a hypothesis on what could have happened. Give the Magsex some love.

Assault also.(eh they're hardly useful to teams either)
