NC08 Mag Scatter has no reason to be in the game

In the original planetside it was 5 shots and by and large the BEST pistol around. Mainly for cloakers who could then sneak up and 2 or 3 shot people in heavy armor. It even did damage to MAX units At range it was worthless but that was really the point. It is a nitch weapon. Would you really think it is fair to have a one shot kill pistol? REALLY?.....really?

No

All said and done Pistols are the last thing to really argue about weapon wise. They are simply fallback weapons anyway the amount of use they get is minimal over the other weapons in the game.

ftfy

body shot commie and knife isn't even enough IIRC

Also, for 10m "crap I need to reload but he's not dead yet" a shotgun pistol could easily be one of the best possible finishers. The AMP prolly taking the #1 slot for panic button finisher, and the Spiker probably last.

The Spikers only advantage is charging up, which makes you move slower, and shooting someone at pump shotgun range with it, which you can't do while cloaked, and makes enough noise to alert anyone you try to sneak up on. If you time it just right with the 1 second charge up, it could maybe be effective at dropping a single target... we'll see.

In any case, I think we'll see people getting them because in order to get the Directive pistol reward you'll need to aurax I imagine at least 5 of the 6 available pistols.

He must be comparing the Scattershot to the Cerberus

Oh man... imagine a shotgun grenade launcher fires 4 'nades a salvo!

Nerf PPA.

god knows why. NS Revolvers > all. Anything that ever competes with them as an ES will be cried about into oblivion.

Nanite Systems, the only faction to win in the war.

The Shotgun sniper rifle grenade launcher with an attached UBSSRGL firing 75mm Shotgun APHEHEAT flak, fragmentation rounds....UBER!

The TR one isn't that bad. The problem with the NC pistol is that it needs two shots, can't do **** after 6 meters and fires slower than the commi

Edit: what would be nice is a sawed off shotgun pistol. Very large Cof for a lot of spread and a lot of pellets. Lower the damage down a lot and you have a fun weapon. You can spray half the room with it but it is **** 1 v 1 because its like trying your luck in the lottery
Would be nice for using in crowded rooms to finish off people with low health.

The way OP worded it, he was complaining about not being able to one-hit kill *all* infantry. That's what he said:

Also, MisterBond claimed the only gun that was more worthless than the MagScatter was the flare gun or snowball gun, but you can kill someone with two hits from a snowball gun, so technically he's wrong about that too.

do not over dramatize information

it can 2 hit kill up to 5 meters

it is a personal defense pistol, its not actually a shotgun, it just happens to shoot shotgun style ammunition, there are revolvers these days that do the same thing, and a knife is not faster considering that the knife is point blank range only, and it is less reliable

Lol, the cerberus? The downgraded Rebel?
That's a good one.

Which PPA?
Light PPA? The gun that's worse than the TR alternative (Banshee)?
Both of which are better than the Proton II PPA, which is probably what you had in mind.

The enormous kick this thing gives off makes it too obnoxious to use.

it's not bad compared to the commie imo and the sight is neat but i'd add a round or two and call it fine. does the suppressor work atm?

Hey, the Mag Scatter has been in this game for over ten years, it's got a right to be here.

The cerberus has a higher fire rate and the difference is noticeable but the velocity with a suppressor is pretty bad at 15+m

Velocity for which one? If you're meaning the rebel it has 75m/s more stock than the Cerberus, on top of superior damage fall-off ranges and values.

At least you don't have DA POWA OF CHARGIN.

Well the Vs seem to hate their one so now we just need to wait for the TR to hate theirs. Then we have no issues.

I think it needs another round and a bit faster ROF. That's all I got really, Shottie pistols are hard to balance.

The thing is OP as **** honestly, 2 shot KO pistol w/o headshots from infiltrator is ridiculous.
