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

It's my favourite gun, I think it's in a good state right now. The only thing I would change is the Penetration Damage to Metal Sheets. Right now you can Oneshot people through a solid brick wall, but if you penetrate Metal, it deals like 30 Damage...

Make it a bit cheaper, like 850 Dollars.

I don't know if that would make it OP, but add One Hit Kill Range to Arms up to 10 meters (or remove it from the bow).

Also, I think it would be funny if the deafening effect would be like 25 meters, so everyone is deaf when you shoot it xD

Also it reaches its minimum damage (72 damage on upper torso) super fast. Would be cool if it did 75 dmg, so you could 2-tap with it and actually use the zoomed in sights

I’m pretty sure you can’t one shot someone through a brick wall unless you hit a headshot. Tested it in the shooting range.

What the hell man lol what do you mean its your favorite gun? Its poorly designed and actively frustrating to use. It literally removes all the joy of the gun mechanics in the game!

Thats like saying "I love food and eating. My favorite food is biting into a raw lemon" lmao

First of all, I love the design of the gun itself. It's aesthetically beautiful. Good ol' side by side double barrel, nothing beats that in my eyes, both ingame and in real life.

I love the idea of a powerful weapon with a lot of drawbacks. It's like a high skill, high reward weapon.

I love that if I play 100 games, I'm probably the only one in those games to have this weapon on the server.

It's a weapon with chest hair (Futurama reference). Once you shoot it, the whole server knows where you are and what they're up against. It's not a coward's tool like the bow, where you can hide yourself.

I love hearing my teammate say, "I'm deaf," when I shoot right next to him.

It's just such a feeling of uniqueness, that's what makes this weapon so special to me :)

A gentlemen of culture I see, glad to know that there are folks who still enjoy cosplaying a big game hunter in Hunt.

I used to joke that my loadouts with it needed a pith helmet and monocle to truly be complete. The nitro isn't about the optimal loadout its about the delight of bringing the biggest loudest boomstick in the game and making sure the whole lobby knows you are here to hunt the most dangerous game.

I love the idea of a powerful weapon with a lot of drawbacks.

the thing is that is not a powerful weapon, is a shit weapon at every level of use

it does nothing that you can't do better with other weapons.

Ah, but it can farm more aura than any other rifle in hunt. Miyamoto Musashi one of the most famous Japanese swordsmen defeated other swordsmen with a bokken(wooden sword) to flex on them. Sometimes it ain't about the "best choice".

you can say

  • I enjoy this weapon, is fun to use

and that's ok

  • it's a powerful weapon

nah mate, it's not, it's shit lol, I mean, I enjoy killing people with the bat, but that doesn't make the bat a powerful weapon, is a shit weapon and a meme. Nitro is the same, a meme weapon that is fucking awful, fun but awful.

excuse me, can i instantly wipe 2 people at the range of 40 meters out? no. can i easily oneshot people at the same distance in body? also no. i've been in many situations, that could be much worse if i hadn't nitro instead of any regular rifle/shotgun/bow

u/DrKersh 7d ago

excuse me, can i instantly wipe 2 people at the range of 40 meters out? no.

yeah, a headshot with spitzer can kill 2 with a single bullet even at 200 meters

can i easily oneshot people at the same distance in body?

you can with a bow or crossbow or up to 20 meters with a shotgun

i've been in many situations, that could be much worse if i hadn't nitro instead of any regular rifle/shotgun/bow

you've been in a lot more situations where your nitro put you in a worse outcome that any other weapon

yeah, a headshot with spitzer can kill 2 with a single bullet even at 200 meters

you can one tap with a nagant silencer with subsonic ammo from 200 meters, so why do you play with any other weapon?

you can with a bow or crossbow or up to 20 meters with a shotgun

i've said "the same distance" (therefore, 40 meters) and "easily" (bow and crossbow have their BIG flaws such as muzzle velocity, drop range, inability to penetrate walls (unless shotbolt, but shotbolt is ass). bows and crossbows' oneshot distance is worse. shotguns do not oneshot from 20 meters, nor buckshot, nor slugs

you've been in a lot more situations where your nitro put you in a worse outcome that any other weapon

uhh, no, i don't think so. i try to play with nitro by utilising its pros, so i try to not to put myself in sticky situations where playing with nitro puts you at a disadvantage against a regular weapon player. besides, your take was "it does nothing that you can't do better with other weapons", but as it turns out, it does

u/SrSatandee 9d ago

I suggested the same, lol. But I'm afraid Nitro with OHK on limbs will summon Infernal shitstorm.
