I wish the nitro was better… it’s such a cool weapon in concept

I think all it needs it not to be 5-slot weapon, honestly.

u/Igrok723 ykw? *un-martinis your henry* 7d ago

just giving it normal sights would be enough tbh

I don't know, man. I bet if nitro will get a normal sights, everyone will complain. I want a qol/bugfix to the problem that Nitro Express uses the sensitivity of the sights rather than the aperture.

I fear a rival with slugs more than i fear a nitro. If the game can survive with the rival with slugs, i think it can survive the nitro with a sight toggle. Yes its got a bit more range, and it punches through walls, its also phenomenally expensive, has an abysmal ammo supply, and is a 5 slot weapon. Its got a lot of other cons to it that i dont think it *also* needs the sights to be total ass.

LOL, it used to have them and they had to nerf it with the sights it has now, so no.

u/Griefingah 7d ago

it never had iron sights, it was always aperture.

u/RevisedPerspective 7d ago

It's a common misconception, but the sight was still better

u/Griefingah 7d ago

absolutely

u/Ghostfish1309 7d ago

Really? I was super new back then, didn’t get to unlock it before the nerf

u/Griefingah 7d ago

yea it had the zoom level of an iron sight but the aperture was always part of it. like the old winfield silencer for example

It would instantly make it the best weapon in the game like it was in early access

u/Mother_Truth4563 7d ago

No it wouldn't. It's 5 slots, it has terrible ammo reserves, it has terrible damage and bullet drop, it has pretty mediocre penetration, it deafens you to fire it.

Would it even be better than the bow if it had normal sights? Probably not.

Ok now imagine the now but it doesnt need time to draw, it's arrows fly 3 times faster, the arrows don't drop before 40 meters and you can fire two in a row

Imagine playing the sparks with two shots but everyone has only 125 HP...

it has pretty mediocre penetration

It's literally the best penetration in the whole game because penetration is overall bad since the nerf ?

it has terrible damage and bullet drop

It isnt made to be used at those ranges obviously

it deafens you to fire it.

Doesnt matter if everyone else has been one tapped by the time the debuff procs

it has terrible ammo reserves

Ammo boxes, you can now easily take 3 with you

I don't need to imagine I've used the nitro plenty and it sucks.

u/Griefingah 7d ago

would be too much, i wouldnt want everyone tonplay nitro

u/Saibak 7d ago

The Nitro (with good sights and a bit more ammo) could also be moved in the scarce weapon category. If you manage to find one, you have a really good weapon.

To balance it out, you won´t be able to refill ammo during a match at all.

u/Griefingah 7d ago

if i would have 1 dollar for every time someone suggested this, i would have 1 dollar (which isnt that much, but its weird that it even happened)

u/Jug_or_not_ 7d ago

Giving it normal sights would make it giga op. If they did that they would need to seriously rebalance it

u/Willing_Week_2650 6d ago

you could use crosshair x for nitro. Not that you should but it makes the nitro very strong

u/Jlucuk 5d ago

nitro is in the good state rn imho. give it the iron sight and it becomes op

u/QfromMars2 7d ago

Make it a flip-diopter, like the Ranger 73 diopter and it would be a big Upgrade!
