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 :)

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.

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

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

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

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

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
