Unanswered Arc Torrent Changes
I don't understand how the Arc Torrent has falloff damage outside of optimal. Since now after the update, the Optimal range is the same as the max range. Range implants have always Improved the optimal ranges of weapons. So optimal range & max range with implant should be 49.8.
So please explain how there is any falloff damage to the Arc Torrent now? As tested, range implants for all other weapons are working fine, improving optimal ranges. So why is the AT Range implant hard lock nerfed and getting singled out??
Not even offering the players an implant removal discount after such drastic changes (like they did with the EM Rifle Nerf) also makes this seem a bit grimy because they know players will want to switch implants.
Saying "The implant removal is being reworked" is not enough. Players need some kind of compensation with changes like this. Any excuse not to give an "implant removal discount" at this point will just be viewed as straight greed.
They should have just increased the range of ember gun & all the other "Shotgun type" weapons to match the range of the shotgun (Base 39m). Shotgun used to be so much fun back in the day before the major update. That's the main reason I, along with many others, have not used any of the new close quarter weapons because the range is too short at base 30m.
Increasing the range of all other "Shotgun type" weapons to 39m instead of nerfing ATs so badly would have made players want to try out the new stuff more but now they just want to quit.
