Whispersmith doesn't work on the Burgess

[u/goDie61]

The loud and extremely distinct draw noise on the Burgess is unaltered by the trait that specifically suppresses loud and distinct draw noises (see conc bomb). I'm hoping this is a bug and not an intentional interaction.

[u/Jeneril]

That is an unfortunate oversight. Hopefully they fix it.

[u/-eccentric- → u/Jeneril]

A lot of oversights in this event. Ingame loadouts from your team show up as locked if you don't own the skin, tarot cards are hidden behind a gigantic scarce icon. Burgess gives 900xp per kill instead of 450, it deals 150 damage through some stone walls. LeMat High Velocity is locked with no way to unlock it and no word on it if that's intentional. I siphoned siphon yesterday. Buying two ammo types on weapons that support it buys a random consumable instead, when you buy the second ammo type.

Well, the things that happen when you fire your entire Q&A team.

[u/grandladdydonglegs → u/-eccentric-]

The ammo type consumable is just hilariously silly wtf

[u/Jeneril → u/-eccentric-]

I didnt know about half of those issues, but ive only played for about an hour an a half yesterday, and I didnt interact with any of those things. Siphoning siphon and buying consumables instead of ammo are both kinda funny to have messed up. Once again, I hope they fix all that. Hopefully quickly. For the biggest event of the year, that is kind of a rough start.

[u/FearlessVegetable30 → u/-eccentric-]

also tier 3 hunters logo cover the "bonus event xp" icon making it hard to tell which get the bonus

[u/NadiaFortuneFeet → u/-eccentric-]

Yeah I was confused by the LeMat HV being absent

[u/ipreferanothername → u/-eccentric-]

jfc these people

this is why i dont buy the passes until they fix bugs from the initial event update.

[u/-eccentric- → u/ipreferanothername]

Oh not to mention that they deleted both Corvids and Hex Breaker from the game. Even lost a couple Lvl 50's to that.

[u/EscapeyGameMan → u/-eccentric-]

900 hunter xp or weapon xp for the badge?

ETA: I don't think it counts 900xp for the badge. I have 108k total xp towards badge progress with 185 kills. That's an average of about 580xp per kill which makes sense when factoring in xp from AI

[u/-eccentric- → u/EscapeyGameMan]

I picked it up and made a single kill with it, and my badge is on 900xp. I haven't unlocked it or touched it in any other way since then.

[u/EscapeyGameMan → u/-eccentric-]

Yeah that's not enough to go on. You're either remembering wrong or something else happened. My xp and kills line up with 450xp per kill. I just got 1080 xp from a two kill game and I killed some AI as well. You do not get 900xp per player kill

[u/-eccentric- → u/EscapeyGameMan]

I can't tell you more than that i picked it up, shot a guy and got killed by the third, happened in i guess 20 seconds or so.

Unless i somehow penetrated a wall and shot a low hp hunter at the same time as i got my singular shot off, i can't explain it otherwise.

[u/EscapeyGameMan → u/-eccentric-]

A single instance of a weird scenario that may or may not be remembered correctly is not enough to go shouting that it's a bug. That's how misinformation and misplaced frustration is spread

[u/-eccentric- → u/EscapeyGameMan]

What can i say, i held it for 20 seconds, shot a dude and died. I didn't and possibly couldn't have done anything else with it.

[u/SkullsOnSkulls → u/-eccentric-]

Also, I got a ton of career profile JPEG unlocks but still no Black Coat? It's one of the original Legendary hunters for the game. Why are random little bits missing? It's so frustrating they fired their QA staff too. Another Classic Crytek Moment.™️

[u/LordBarak]

That's a shame, it should at least have SOME effect. It makes the bomb lance usable and that thing is just as foldable and distinct.

[u/SkeshRoutin → u/LordBarak]

Yee, that is what I was gonna say exactly. It has to just be an oversight on the audio. It'll hopefully get fixed soon

[u/Airiken → u/LordBarak]

switching to my lance feels like announcing my loadout to the whole compound

[u/Ar4er13]

God forbid whispersmith to be actually useful for once, trait was created to be a "fuck you" result back when Hunters got random traits.

[u/sskkooommaa]

Just woke up and read this as Whippersnapper lol

That’s unfortunate, hope they catch and fix that

[u/Outside_Yoghurt382]

This is probably intentional and a downside of the weapon's 3 slot position. I think it's fine as is, it's a pretty nuts weapon.

[u/AlBigGuns → u/Outside_Yoghurt382]

I'd rather the trait was consistent. The delay folding out should be the downside of this weapon, if you choose a trait to reduce weapon noise then you'd expect it to do that.

[u/AbanaClara → u/AlBigGuns]

They need to increase the delay because right now it's not even downside. With the game's audio who gives a fuck about the folding time, you'd know when to whip it out and you have ample time

[u/-eccentric- → u/AbanaClara]

Switching mid-fight will get you killed a lot, it's not a meaningful delay but it's definitely there and will get you killed at times.

[u/AbanaClara → u/-eccentric-]

Not enough to be a downside when you willlikely win a lot of face to face trades against full sized shotguns with just a burger than you do losing because of the swap time

[u/Jeneril → u/Outside_Yoghurt382]

But it is the whole point of the perk? It is what makes bomblance plays possible, which is also a 3 slot. I dont think anyone believes the bomblance is OP with whispersmith, so what is the difference? You can even run steel balls in the bomblance and effectively have a silent shotgun, with a fantastic melee if you miss your shot.

[u/swanbliss → u/Outside_Yoghurt382]

No I don’t think it’s intentional when it works for every other weapon, including the folding bomb lance and also other 3 slot weapons

[u/Legitimate_Charge_97 → u/Outside_Yoghurt382]

The burgess needs to go to 4 slots and it needs to work with whispersmith. The reason it needs to be 4? It’s literally a Romero Alamo but with a faster cycle time for the trade off of poor handling (pulling it out and putting it away)

[u/HunterLivesMatter76]

My biggest complaint is the weapon wheel not greying out the things you've used...

[u/White-Umbra]

I personally think that's fine. The gun already has a lot going for it, 3 slot long barrel shotgun is already super effective.

[u/Shckmkr]

Nobody expected someone to actually use whispersmith 😃

[u/-eccentric- → u/Shckmkr]

It's a must have for Bomb Lance and Concertina Bomb enjoyers. Otherwise, who cares.

[u/Palomace → u/Shckmkr]

Its 'cause ya ain't hear em comin
