      Now we have 2 charge pistols: one that’s a great all-rounder and one that’s great for trick shots and cramped spaces.
      It might need some slight damage adjustments but it’s overall a fitting compliment to Piercer I’d say.

    Piercer: Good and reliable damage dealer with little downtime.
    Marksman: Amplifies a powerful force and makes it even more powerful.
    Sharpshooter: Power balanced by downtime.
    Every revolver has its use, Piercer is consistent damage, Marksman makes even a small pistol shot hit like a goddamn truck, and the Sharpshooter rewards precise aim and positioning with a lot of damage. The SS may need a few tweaks regarding the absurdity of its damage (we don’t need anything one tapping FP or Pinos), and then we will be good.

      the piercer is still viable compared to the sharpshooter, since the sharpshooter needs walls to act like a mini-railcannon whereas the piercer does it no matter what

    Note: Projectiles are reflected by the large explosions created by the Richochet Revolvers "Parry" explosions. This means with enemies like Maurice it is best to wait until they have shot a bit of their volley, that way it's more likely you'll one-shot them with their own projectiles. This same logic applies to the leviathan and the CHAOS triangle

  • @ezekiellaww2524
    @ezekiellaww2524 Год назад +8

    While I think we all know this is going to get nerfed into the ground, but we have to find a way for it to both be balanced, but also have a legitimate use like all the other weapons to keep it fun.
    The piercer is really good for slabcoining, so I think that the sharpshooter should not be as effective as the piercer when it comes to that damage.
    I find what the gun should be used for tight corners and enclosed spaces. I also enjoy the idea of a player having to line up his shots geometrically, and having to think ahead before firing. The fact that they took the time to line up their shot instead of just spraying and praying though should be heavily rewarded with a lot of damage from the bouncing shots in my opinion
    I also like the projectile destruction, but I don't know how to keep that in without it being completely busted honestly.

    • @psy-fi64

      The projectile destruction was actually originally supposed to be the primary feature, but that alone was too weak, so Hakita added the scrapped ricochet mechanic from the early iteration of the revolver.

      It's limits for normal gameplay.
      Only carries 3 charges.
      Given this ricochet has autoaim coded, that means SOME caution is necessary (For example, don't use this if there's a higher priority on its autoaim code that will explode in your face).
      In a sense, the drawback should be just that there's a mandatory spin-up time to deliver the alt-fire

    One thing you can do is throw a coin walking backwards and switch to the sharpshooter immediately and start charging and then punch the coin. Gives you enough time to fully charge the sharpshooter for a coin shot in areas with lower ceilings instead of having to throw the coin super high.

  • @Joshmanikus
    @Joshmanikus Год назад +4

    Honestly the best nerf I can think of would be instead of bouncing off coins, it destroys them. Like it picks up extra damage for hitting a coin, but it doesn't ricochet off it, it just keeps going through.
    It does that for every other projectile, so it would make sense for it to pierce through coins as well

    practically it would just be railcoining but easier and even then railcoining is easy

    So if you get ultrakill can you use it in Gmod, or is that just an ultrakill mod

    This is probably the first unlock where I'm genuinely on the fence on whether it's balanced or not. Fun? Absolutely. Shit, just pressing Alt-fire is more interesting than most weapons. Balanced? eh.
    I've always appreciated how enemy projectiles were a constant threat unless you got within melee range- putting you in more danger- in order to deal with them. Giving the player an option to deal with them at long range- also with a basically homing attack with it being able to bounce off walls- just feels cheap and gimmicky for the sake of "new stuff"
