not the buff we were waiting for, but at least something. but it seems the mattock with scope is still better than the raptor with extended barrel. maybe the reduced weight can make up for it?

That's even lighter than the OP suggested. Worth trying! Might be a good sniper for an adept, given that such a thing doesn't actually quite exist yet.

well i still had to really fill me up with caffeine and enrgydrinks to make proper use of the raptor

I still belive it could do with some damage and removed minrefiretime as im stupidly exhausted making the most of this gun

I used to use it on my H and TSentinels. Probably gives near 200% cooldown now. Might try it out again.

A Raptor buff AND another Locust buff. Rokayt can now declare near-total victory!

All hail our buffer-in-chief!

That wasn't a buff, well, it's not a buff that changes anything. I was fine with the cooldown I got w/ it on my engineers. It's how long it takes to kill things that's the problem.

Seems like BW has no intention of making Raptor anymore stronger..
At least, now Raptor has given a good place as long range weapon for weight sensitive people.

I doubt we are done yet.

Its still totally obsoleted by another weapon, it just now weighs less then it.

I will update the OP in regards to this.

I say the simplest reason why Raptor should get a major buff is... it is quite hard to use compared to fully automatic rifles. Its a niche weapon and mostly:

It is actually a FUN to use weapon

Feels like you have to decide wether to use a boring strong or a fun bad weapon these days - the Carnifex is one that is fun and strong, thats why like everyone used it.

And it begins. A locust and a Raptor 'buff' in the same week. Now we must sit and wait for the (hopeful) next buff.

Yeah. The Raptors story isn't done just yet.


It still has similarly weighted automatic weapons that are simply better then it, so It will likely get buffed to around 790-860 DPS.

If Fagnan is not careful, he could slip & make the Raptor the most powerful and accessible weapon in the game..

He has to be careful for sure.... That weight buff has put good balance a subject that is like scateing on thin ice.

I am more of a hopeful then a complainer.

All snipers need a significant damage bonus in order to compensate for their ridiculous weight. Only good on infiltrators as it is.

Even the mighty Black Widow is outperformed on other classes.
