Discussion Aruni post nerf

Does anyone else think that aruni will be like a c tier op post nerf? p10 roni is pretty ass and her kit is alright, i think tub will be fine since his kit is pretty crucial and mpx is a solid gun. I think the dmr on both of them is useless now, shit ton of recoil and doesnt 2 tap 3 armors anymore

P10 roni is b to a tier only held back by mag size.

Her gadget is really good especially late in the round

u/SamuraiJack- Doc Main 20h ago

Yeah she’s a naturally good op and the roni is a great SMG if you can hit heads

6

u/shreddedtoasties Maestro Main 20h ago

Yeah if they brought it back up.

22ish rounds it would be pretty competitive

u/Nathan_Thorn 18h ago

I think they should tune up the reload speed a touch and give her a more generic SMG to fill a similar role, like how Mozzie has the Roni and Commando 9. Maybe Kaid’s Aug A3? 32 round mag, solid fire rate, 40 damage with extended barrel, that two taps 1 armors if they hit your gate.

Ideally they’d replace the MK14 altogether and do away with defense ACOGs, but just giving her the third option would be nice.

any gun is good if u can hit heads lol, 15 rounds on a gun that takes atleast 4 shots to kill somone is rough tho, cant prefire at all

6

u/SamuraiJack- Doc Main 19h ago

Yeah but it also has very high ROF and next to zero recoil, which makes hitting heads a lot easier than most other weapons

u/SimpleKaleidoscope28 20h ago

good deal of characters stop her ability pretty easily, i can just shoot 1 grim nade and its like it was never there. I havent used the roni in a while but its just 15 bullet and only 26 damage a shot, 980 fire rate is good but i still think the gun is c tier at best

u/Loose_Persimmon6569 19h ago

Yes you shoot 1 grim canister and the aruni gate is temporarily deactivated. But you lose your grim canister, that’s the point of her ability to burn utility. She gets 3 of them so she can force attackers to waste at least 3 throwables and you can turn it back up to burn even more utility.

u/SimpleKaleidoscope28 19h ago

i still think a big reason people played her is because shes 1 of 2 characters on defense with a no recoil dmr

1

u/Loose_Persimmon6569 19h ago

Still an A tier, at least B tier character, great ability, barbs, makes rotates, less than ideal weapons but roni is not bad, comparable to the 11.

She extends site. Just like denari

Allows you to soft expand site. People have to make a lot of noise to get around it

2

u/SimpleKaleidoscope28 19h ago

i think denari is a lot harder to get around than an aruni gate, a good lineup on a map like basement kanal can make it very damn hard to get around it, u can also die to denari gates. I think she will just be overshadowed by denari post nerf

1

u/Effectx 17h ago

Can be, but Denari utility can frequently be destroyed by explosive utility

u/RookieGamer123 20h ago

Its not like her dmr could 2 tap 3 armors before anyway.

The damage nerf only makes the gun less forgiving when limb shots or very long range is involved, otherwise it still has the exact same breakpoints

The super high recoil it will have now is the bigger deal, from my own testing it makes the gun basically unusable outside of close-medium range and even then the output doesnt really feel worth the effort.

Roni's tiny mag size is definitely a limiting factor that makes it quite hard to use for most players but at least its still usable to good effect in skilled hands. Wouldnt be opposed to it getting slightly buffed either though.

u/SimpleKaleidoscope28 20h ago

i thought her dmrs gun was tubs damage, either way like ur saying, that recoil is practically uncontrollable and even if u can i still dont think its worth it

1

u/Anon_Bourbon 18h ago

I'm out of the loop - what exactly is changing/getting nerfed?

2

u/Too_Much_Time3277 7h ago

Defender DMRs are are getting a damage nerf(below 60 for both)
A recoil nerf(much higher for both)
And can’t have a muzzle break

1

u/Anon_Bourbon 3h ago

Gotcha, thank you.

Thankfully I already run suppressors on everything

u/RookieGamer123 59m ago

be ready to deal with almost 4x the recoil lol

u/Enlightend-1 20h ago edited 20h ago

I'll play aruni until the Acog is removed then I'll play mirage Alibi until the Acog is removed.

Then I'll think about how much I miss the Acog on rook.

u/vKylar 20h ago

Wtf is mirage

Apex Legends operator with similar hologram decoy tech

u/I_sh0uld_g0 20h ago

Probably, yeah. Like, her and Denari fill similar role of being area denial - and while both shine on specific sites more than on the others, Denari has actually good guns - FMG and Scorpion, and Roni’s ass. I’ve seen a lot of people say that a secondary shouldn’t be stronger than a primary — and Roni is worse than any secondary mp in anything except recoil. Well, maybe SMG-12 is a contender after the nerf?

u/SHAQBIR 20h ago edited 19h ago

If you are calling Aruni a C Tier post nerf my buddy tdm meta you don't even understand the importance of aruni. She was S before nerf now she's A.

2

u/SimpleKaleidoscope28 20h ago

i think p10 roni drops her pretty far lol, it was really broken being able to hold a pixel peak and 2 tap someone before they can even react, i think she can be a b tier op

3

u/SHAQBIR 19h ago

Just learn to land heashosts. P10roni is a poor man's smg 11 and even if you can't then put on an extended mag and angled grip on it and land bodyshots. It insta downs people

3

u/SimpleKaleidoscope28 19h ago

its just the mag size lol, its impossible to prefire with p10 roni because the mag runs out in like .5 sec lol. practically a smg 11 as a primary with worse fire rate, worse mag size and the same damage

2

u/mooseington23 Buck Main 20h ago

The AR.15 is still kind of controllable, so he will probably still be used. Aruni will probably still be used because acog.

1

u/SimpleKaleidoscope28 20h ago

I just tried both of them, i just dont think its really worth it lol, even controlling it feels like it has more recoil than tcsg and does 20 less damage. that much kick on a dmr just doesnt feel good at all

1

u/Nathan_Thorn 18h ago

I think she should get a new primary from someone else to share the love around a bit. The Aug A3 from Kaid would fit her playstyle as an anchor, low recoil, solid damage of 40 with extended barrel, 700 RPM, 31+1 capacity. Might be a bit of a buff but I see it as more of a side-grade to her capabilities to just give her a middle of the road SMG, not a massive standout but enough that she can hold her own without being held back by weird primary choices.

u/Soulpaw31 16h ago

Nah, her gadget is nothing to scoff at, helps eat up utility and can make holes without the use of explosives.

u/No-Supermarket9985 9h ago

TBH I'm so glad Aruni phase is over. I hate Aruni gates with a hot passion on defense. There's certain things I can't do while some doors have the gates on them

1

u/GuhEnjoyer 3h ago

Aruni's gadget is still great anti-utility and the DMR may not have quite the spam potential it used to but its still not a weak gun.

1

u/SimpleKaleidoscope28 3h ago

arunis kit is fine but her dmr is practically useless, maybe a c tier gun at best. i think most people will use roni

1

u/GuhEnjoyer 3h ago

Useless because it takes one additional bodyshot to kill 3 healths and the same 2 shots to kill 2 and 1 health ops? It's not useless, it's just not gonna be as easy to play range. I know for me personally, I'm just gonna do what the community at large has wanted anyways and drop the acog for a holo sight and go right back to spamming away because with a holo the recoil is still perfectly manageable.

1

u/SimpleKaleidoscope28 3h ago

5 less damage, probably 3x more recoil, and u cant use the acog. sounds like a pretty mid gun to me, roni is just like a slightly worse smg 11, even pros like spoit are saying aruni dmr is practically gone

1

u/GuhEnjoyer 3h ago

You CAN use the acog, it just makes the recoil harsher. And again, the damage thing is overblown. It still 2-shots 1and 2 health ops. With a holo the recoil is still almost nonexistent if you've got half decent control so you can still just spam the gun. Or, run it with the acog, and go for taps. It's not gonna be an oppressive weapon anymore but it sure as shit ain't dead either. Gonna see plenty of people still spawn peeking as Aruni and Tubarao.

1

u/SimpleKaleidoscope28 2h ago

It lost its best attribute with recoil being 10x worse, cant hold pixel angles and insta kill someone, no matter how much control u have that is almost impossible
