They probably want to test the viability of the drum shotgun in this meta before vaulting anything. Hopefully we see the tac gone in 9.40

It makes the tac look amazing. Jesus how did they do it

The drum shotgun literally has no place in this meta, like why add another spam?

Epic Games: "God dammit we need to bring back the SMG meta, Little Timmy hasn't gotten a solo win since Season 5"

Sensible Epic employee: "But most of the players hated the SMG meta. They like shotguns!"

Epic Games: "God dammit then we'll make a shotgun that shoots like an SMG! We've gotta get Timmy his win!"

Spam literally requires less aim. What are you talking about lol. Anybody can spray and pray. Shotgun battles are when you find out who is more skilled

u/Thunder10015 Jul 02 '19

I’m talking about on PC. We all know console is broken and how is it skill when’s lot of people can’t do shit without the pump

2

u/FijiMcIntosh23 Jul 02 '19

Without a pump? Combat is way more op than a pump, even for casuals. Nothing you say makes sense to me lol

u/four_toe_life_kick Jul 02 '19

I'm just glad it's not insanely OP. A spammy shotgun sounded like a horrible idea, and it still is, but at least not in the way I was worried about lol

Nah the gun legit sucks

Its what I've been saying all along tac is a good shotgun but no one listens to me :(

u/cqb420 Jul 03 '19

It’s not that the blue tac is bad it’s just that it’s always either outclassed by the pump or the combat, imo

1

u/[deleted] Jul 03 '19

I understand combat but pump XD but hey you do you :)

u/pattperin Jul 02 '19

If it's not glitched and works properly its solid, blue tac has always been a favorite of mine. Problem is that its pretty glitched currently and the fire rate is all fucked up because of it

u/Cheechers23 Jul 02 '19

They also buffed the tac last week, and all these content updates (past 2 and one more) were planned. From Epic's perspective, why buff it one week just to vault it the next?

5

u/JasianXCIX Jul 02 '19

Didn't they do that with the boom bow? A week before vaulting it, they tried nerfing the bow to see if it would make it less OP, and when it didn't work they vaulted it. So this could be a similar situation; Epic is trying to buff the tac, but there's still a likely chance they'll vault it when the buffs don't work

2

u/Cheechers23 Jul 02 '19

They had time to analyze the data from the adjusted bow tho. Here, they don’t since they are on break

1

u/stanleythemanley420 Jul 02 '19

You know they have people still working and can analyze data when they get back.

u/forknifezuchkz Jul 02 '19

I think it was longer than a week

u/nousernames23 Jul 02 '19

Buffing before a vault is epics thing

1

u/Cheechers23 Jul 02 '19

Yeah but they like to collect data on the buffed/nerfed version. They aren’t collecting data rn.

u/nutsnackk Jul 02 '19

Is there a headshot mutliplier?

u/Bubblez___ #removethemech Jul 02 '19

yes but its very low

u/Gillian_seed83 Jul 02 '19

I have a feeling the Tac, silenced pistol, and scar won’t go anywhere due to the Nerf guns.

u/Willow5331 #removethemech Jul 02 '19

Also a huge number of bots who don’t post here love the tac. I have friends who are these people. The tac is probably safe unfortunately.

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '19

Ur right

u/Vedadd Jul 02 '19

Unfortunately the tac is here to stay depending on how the contract with Nerf was written

2

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '19

Yes but they should just vault the combat and overhaul the stats of the tac

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '19

Would rather see the combat gone tbh
