A sidearm doing 1000+ damage in 2 shots with magic aim assist is balanced to you?? Stop acting like this is some caldari witch hunt and accept the fact it isn't balanced.

If an ion pistol was that efficient you'd be screaming for a nerf no doubt.

One other thing, the only weapon type that completely wrecks shields is the laser based ones, the AR and ARR do similar damage to the tank they are strong against and the ARR gets 35m more optimal range.

Idk you. Idk what your talking about. I honestly didn't read anything you wrote bud.

The Bp is strong. But it only has 4 shots so it's of little use to me. I try to use it but usually die. I personally use a smg because toxin bpo and I miss a lot of shots. It DOSE have some magical aim assistance. Like it shoots around corners. I've killed people that should not have died with a bp.

Lol this argument is so stupid.

A FORGE GUN DOES 2K DAMAGE, WHY NOT FIX THOSE.

AN NULL CANNON DOES DAMAGE TO MCC, WHY NIT FIX THOSE

-tripple sidearm damage mods (+8% damage each)

Been a while since I have seen so much whiny lies. Lol some one said the bolt pistol has a high RoF.

hahaha yeah i have heard that before. Btw melee does 1.7k damage and a lai dai grenade (not the packed does) 7.1k damage. Why not fix these?

Someone also said it does over 1000 damage with two shots, lol!

CCP is it actually a good idea to have this pocket sniper? Ive looked it up how much damage potential that thing has and its quite disturbing. We are even capable to do more damage then a thale without damage mods on it. So here is how you can make your bolt pistol deal over 400HP damage per shot (thats vs armor):

-Kaalakiota bolt pistol
-proficency 5 on it
-tripple sidearm damage mods (+8% damage each)
-armor damage bonus

Seriously you probs can 2 shot allmost any assault suit in the game with such a setup. The first shot shreds their shields and takes a chunk of their armor and the second shot will more then likely kill them. Heavys can probs take around 4 shots to kill with such a setup but still we are talking about beeing better then a sniper rifle in terms of damage.

Because it does. 2 shots to armour with a damage mod and prof. 5 does 680 damage. That's with no head shots I'd bet if just one of those was a headshot it would push it very close. If both were headshots (not hard cos lol magic aim assist) it would push it over.

318.87 that's from the 15% and 10% base armor profile (I used 30% due to protofits' stupid set up) so the damage is actually 637.74, from 2 shot's, a headshot is 270%, a headshot deal's 1.1k+, still doesn't qualify for a nerf if you ask me... It's an assassin's pistol, it's hard to aim with, it only has 4 shot's, it can't fire like an ScP that can do 400% on a headshot and do so without charge, you complain because it does it's job killing armor meta with 1k+ armor that shield's can't ever hope to compare to.

Git good armor scrub, anymore nerf's to anything that chews through armor and shield's are royally screwed and skewered, we already received a nerf to the Roden Sniper Rifle that was uncalled for, we don't need anymore caldari nerf's. Otherwise, it'll be nothing but Min's Gal's and Amarr, you won't ever see a caldari on the field if they do anymore nerf's to em.

Thirdly: I skilled into the BP as many other's do, they max out like 90% of the skill's on it (optimization, you too costly bro). You want people to feel like they wasted their SP? And for what, because CCP should be obligated to hold your hand and tell you it's a small boo-boo and they'll fix it? Because your armor meta somehow the most important thing that's happened to this game? There's shield's too, and we're constantly forgotten in each and every single update and nerf, either was get nerfed, or we get unintentionally nerfed, either way shield's get skewed by people like you.

You are messed in the head. 1100 damage with a normal sidearm shot is fine? You act like that small charge time is a real drawback.

Lol hard to aim with xD

The weapon is broken, this isn't some witch hunt like all you Caldari fan boys think it is. The roden shouldn't have been nerfed. No one knows why it was.

Also incase you forget I've been pro shield buffs. I've also wanted the scrambler nerfed because its ********, hell, I even want the normal RR buffed because the kick and charge is far too much.

This isn't about a weapon being Caldari. Its about it being OP and it needs to be looked at.

One last thing, my math wasn't wrong as it included a damage mod.

Fair... Though, honest to god I really can't see it being OP, but I'll concede, if a nerf passes over the ScR, I won't mind the BP being hit, but mark my word's, we'll probably end up back here again when they over do a nerf on it.

INB4 "The BP suck's now unnerf it" Thread's.

Its worth remembering that when the BP was first implemented nobody used it, because the damage was crap and the weapon was useless. It was buffed to make it useful, then nerfed slightly to bring it in line with what a sidearm should be.

This weapon is not OP. Nerfing it will just make it yet another ****** pistol like the scrambler and the ion pistol.

People keep saying that this weapon is better than the light weapons. Its not. There is not a single light or heavy weapon in the game that outputs less damage than the bolt pistol. Yes the bolt pistol has longer range than a shotgun or a heavy weapon, thats sort of the point, its a (relative to other sidearms) long range precision gun that compliments shorter range primary weapons like the HMG or shotgun. Thats its niche and the whole point of the gun, its the only reason its on any of my dropsuits instead of the SMG.

Nerfing range or nerfing its damage is going to make it useless. Talk about reworking the gun to be less annoying, talk about fixing the goofy bullet magnetism, but nerfing it is not what this gun needs and in fact other pistols need to be buffed to be just as useful as the bolt pistol.

Yeah, we could start by bring back the ScP from old day's code/chromosome, pretty sure there are video's back on youtube that can show us the damage of them (if there aren't any saved file's of SCP's past). Hell you could make the SCP's keep their damage even, inexchanged for the charge shot capability of the IP and remove the charge shot of the IP and simply give it insane damage, that'll shut the hippies up. (Yes I made the green tree hugging hippy joke, sue me).

I agree with the whole AA being too strong. Some how headshots can be achieved from a distance and while hipfiring the Bolt, But I will disagree with it being overpowered. It's like the ScR. It hits hard and does so much damage, yet not a lot of people use it.

seriously I am so tired of people trying to nerf anything they dislike, the bolt pistol is far from OP and just to show you what happens when you take damage away from a weapon and give it less ammo just take a look at the poor breach Flaylock the gun is horrible it cant one shot anything other then some scouts and even then aiming it is terrible due to the slow fire rate and the fact that is has slow projectile speed, this thing has a 20% profile against armor so yeah you can deal a good amount of damge IF the target is standing still and you can manage to get a head shot as anything will kill you way faster or move to fast for you to be able to hit without either extreme skill or luck

the BP takes .4 seconds just to charge up before you fire EVERY SHOT meaning anyone can simply out dps you dodge the shots or take one to the face and most likely still survive if you happen to have over 300 armor and about 100 shields which most assaults if not all have enough health to take that much damage at least, if you happen to get hit by a BP then you probably deserved it because it is not an easy weapon to use although some may think it is, so I see players with good aim say wow this gun is awesome then the people that stand still and take the shots complain that its OP

it got a BUFF for a reason the BP as it used to be could hardly kill anything before the user got dropped the hip fire spread is so high that unless you stand within 15m they have almost no chance to hit you mind you getting this close is like going up to a heavy with an HMG and at range they have to ADS meaning they are slower and easier to hit

I am against nerfing just about anything other then the obviously overpowered weapons and the BP is not one of them if it was you'd see everyone and their mother using it, its a high risk high rewards weapon if you don't believe me use it, that many damage mods take away from your ability to tank if you are a shield user and for armor users damage mods work far better using other weapons as you can achieve much higher DPS values then those of the BP, not to mention that there are sidearms that do far more damge if you use them right, did you know that every head shot of an ScP does 400% damge? did you know that the Ion Pistol can be charged to achieve the same damge as that of the BP perhaps even higher? not only that but the fire rate and base damage can out DPS the BP any day, did you know they Flaylock has a better profile against armor then that of the BP?

and the ScR this rifle although not a sidearm can achieve way higher damage output before a BP even gets a chance to fire not to mention it has way better range higher damage per clip by far and a profile to shields that destroys them, even against armor it still shreds, I have yet to see a good argument against the BP other then the "hit detection being too good" we see player complain that damage does not register all the time but not with the BP and this isnt even a problem with the BP its a problem with AA and that's only if you get close enough for a BP user to take body shots at you with hip fire, again if you got that close you deserved what you got, its like getting close to a shotgun and expecting the pellets to miss

here's the problem with your argument, the ScR can do well over 1k damge in less then a second with a charged shot and a few extra shots easily

the ion pistol can achieve the same damage and even higher against shields why dont people complain? simple because of the range and the damage profile that favors armor meta

what other sidearm can achieve 1k damage with head shots? ScP the breach is 150*4+ thats 600 damage meaning two shots 1.2k easy without any need of proficiency or anything

the AA is its own problem and you cant blame the BP for said AA not to mention that you still have to be within the weapons cross hairs and if they are ADS then AA means nothing

also about the ARR and AR the AR does far more damage even after one second there's a clear difference in DPS not to mention it has far less spread and manageable kick it also has no charge up time, all you are saying is complete BS
