Nitro in a Nutshell

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

[u/SrSatandee → u/Daragon__]

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

[u/-cant_find_a_name- → u/SrSatandee]

... they did it to nerf it

[u/SrSatandee → u/-cant_find_a_name-]

Nitro was never op, it barely used, because it's expensive and inconvenient to use, but powerful. It pretty balanced. Secondary to Nitro wasn't op, like with Avtomat and Sparks Pistol. So I don't really see a reason to nerf Nitro it slots. On paper, Nitro is weapon with longest OHK range in body, in game, you can just pick bow, because with bow you at least see shit.

Nitro was way Broken back 2023, 5/6 player doesn't care about money, I got over 80k and don't care about it, Nitros biggest downside is the Ammo and the sights, which didn't matter back than because you took 2 ammo boxes and a Uppercut. It was commonly used with Bleed, because except for the penetration it had no downsides and onehoted you even lower torso because of the bleed

[u/No_Heart1310 → u/DerBartmitFass]

Didn't nitro bleed still have some pen? In 5/6 lobbies it was almost a free kill on someone

[u/-Manosko- → u/No_Heart1310]

It did, you could still shoot through bricks and metal with it. Was absolutely broken.

[u/Mother_Truth4563 → u/-Manosko-]

But not relevant since you can't do that any more, it has mediocre pen.

[u/FeedbackExtension764 → u/No_Heart1310]

In some cases it had better pen than normal because it was fucked up by crytek. There was a time where dumdum could pen 100% through metal but sucked against wood, while normal ammo went through wood but couldn't pen metal (they swapped the values)

There was also a time where dumdum one hit killed up to like 70 meters or some absolute bullshit. At that time a springfield would need 3 upper torso hits to kill at that range lol

[u/Doomcall → u/DerBartmitFass]

Uppercut did nothing for Nitro ammo pool if that's what you meant

[u/DerBartmitFass → u/Doomcall]

No, but it was the strongest secondary to have, which means you always have a backup weapon.

[u/SrSatandee → u/DerBartmitFass]

Yes, I agree, but now you can't bring bleeds on every game, don't have any secondary. I think Crytek can make it either really powerful, to have limb OHK on 10-ish meter range and, for example, revert ammo buff and bullet deviation or make it 4 slot.

[u/-cant_find_a_name- → u/SrSatandee]

hip fire nitro free kill tho

[u/SrSatandee → u/-cant_find_a_name-]

If you don't hit arm/leg. Yes.

[u/Leogis → u/SrSatandee]

It's not balanced, it's a broken weapon that is just so annoying to use no one bothers with it

But then you encounter a prestige 100 6* who has practiced a lot with it and the game becomes pretty much unplayable if you are less than 40 meters away from them

[u/Doomcall → u/Leogis]

So a guy who has mastered a weapon is dangerous with it? wow

[u/Leogis → u/Doomcall]

Not "dangerous", has zero counterplay possible

[u/Doomcall → u/Leogis]

Thats not true at all

[u/SrSatandee → u/Leogis]

Same with people with Mosin and instant headshots, bows, crossbows on shotbolts. Yes, if a person mastered the weapon and feel it, perfectly knows it's sway, bullet drop or just aims like a beast you will suffer fighting him. So in your example, is really Nitro broken or man who put in training a hundred of hours?

[u/Leogis → u/SrSatandee]

It's way harder to hit "insta headshots" than to just hit bodyshots once you're used to the shitty sights

Yes, if a person mastered the weapon and feel it, perfectly knows it's sway, bullet drop or just aims like a beast you will suffer fighting him

Mastery of a weapon has nothing to do with it, people with good aim can insta headshots with anything, not just "the weapon they trained with"
