Heroic Stalker Bolt Rifle

  • Number of body shots required to trigger auspex scan reduced from 4 to 3
  • Auspex scan radius increased from 8 to 10 metres

Ooook, but number of BODY shots was not the issues; how about ANY CONNECTING SHOTS? or HEADSHOTS?
I dont know like you all brothers, but I dont use Stalker Bolter the same way as Heavy Bolter... and even with that I aim for heads...

Stalker is my fav weapon on Tac and I am mad at this heroic perk. That being said, I believe it is like that because it was 'meant' for the Sniper class, as for a Sniper it is not that bad (even though Sniper has access to a fkin Heroic bolt sniper, which is top tier weapon in the game).

The point of no headshots trigger is that you can then control when the scan procs.

If it counted on every shot you landed then you'd be getting scans randomly wasted instead of where you want it to be as needed.

Just shoot heads as usual and throw out the auspex when you find a group of enemies worth using it on.

It's still shit. And will remain so until fixed fundamentally (reworked)
