On Live, as of this posting, a NS-44 Commissioner can kill an infiltrator with only two bodyshots within maximum damage range. The Commissioner's damage is currently 450. Enough for a two hit kill on infiltrators. This proves true both in the field and in the VR. So, I guess it was stealth buffed?
It hasn't been buffed. NS revolvers have always been superior to the other sidearms. If it wasn't a NS sidearm that would already been in the middle of the "OP PLZ NERF" storm for a long long time.
I knew this. I use that feature quite often. Yeah. I also know the NS revolvers are generally considered superior. Though, I didn't know the Commie was quite so superior to the others. I guess so...? Well, anyway. Thanks for the replies, guys. I can't believe I've never noticed this before.
