While I was playing yesterday, I noticed that the Blackhawk's range was shorter than it's counterpart the Silversix. About 1 - 2 body widths. Without moving, a switch could easily be shot with the Silversix but not the Blackhawk.
So what's the deal? Shouldn't these two be equal in range since they're equal in damage (although different types) and speed?
Thanks in advance.
That's one of the mystery of the game, along with Gran Faust showing twice the speed of Divine Avenger on the bars, while both have the exact same speed.
There is no use thinking about that. Just accept it like that.
Juances, I almost feel that the Silversix is the "wrong" one of the two. Of course, I'd prefer my Blackhawk to have a longer range, but it's range is comparable to many other guns. For it's speed and clip size, the Silversix's range is quite substantial.
If you look closely at Blackhawk when you shoot it, you'll see that the beginning of the shot comes from behind your gun (it really is noticeable), and the length of the shot of both Silversix and Blackhawk is about the same (just that Blackhawk starts behind your gun, so the range is shorter).
That really makes me believe Blackhawk is the one being bugged. It has been that way for quite some time, so don't expect a fix anytime soon.
That's a good point Fradow. I have noticed that the large bullet at the end of the charge attack often collides with objects behind me, although I never really use the charge attack anyhow.
Doesn't hurt being optimistic, not usually at least. But there have been large scale weapon and armor balancing updates in the past. With the guild halls up and functional, perhaps in the next few months things like these can be addressed again. Not saying they will be, only that it would be nice.
The Blackhawk (4*) has about Autogun range, even shorter than Antigua (3*).
I'm not sure why this still isn't fixed yet.
I could have sworn this was fixed months ago...
Kinda, It was Sentenza that got fixed, but now Blackhawk has short range.
But if it's true... wich one is wrong?
