If there was a gun with the same mechanics of a mist bomb. It shoots out a short ranges pulse or wave that inflicts a strong to very strong status, but with minimal to no base damage. I am a 5*gunner and I used to bring a frost gun with me everywhere because of its Max CTR( with my upgrades) and its charge attack causes 100% freeze. Now I know that the cyrotech alchemer does that already, but just think of a gun that can poison an entire wave of mobs, then switch over to a blitz or Polaris I slay them all.
Gunners Rejoice!

Did Iron Slug get love?
Who knows? 3D models don't give away stats.

Sure, they'll be brand new. But will they be upgrades from the Gunslinger sash?

no, there will be a new line. see nick's post in this thread for confirmation, it's somewhere near the beginning.

@Grimranger
Nick did say that they were going to balance existing gunner gear as well.
Then why did OP edit his post to jokingly call it The Iron Slug Update?

A lot of people are predicting fire and freeze polaris.
Where is my elemental catalyzer :<
What is this "filling in the gap" nonsense, I shall go pout somewhere.
Or something equally mature.

Then why did OP edit his post to jokingly call it The Iron Slug Update?
The answer is in your question, because it was a joke.

Zeddy please oh please give me the link to the gun picture.
/beg Zeddy.
Time to dive in game file again.

Zeddy, I wanna see em' too :/ (is now beggar). I have 2 leaked pics on my iPhone, now I feel like I'm going to go to spiral prison. EDIT: yeah zeddy, I should know better than to ask for spoilers. Also removed the giant spoiler from this post right here (sorry about the spoilers ._.).

I feel fortunate I got away with only a warning, but fun's over for distributing gun images. You'll just have to wait until November.

I just realized something, once this update is launched, 50% of the community will be using more Swiftstrike Bucklers ._.
EDIT: Clarification added. Thanks, Zeddy.

I did see the new guns. *cough*youtubevideo*cough*. They're...eh. At least you'll expand the Valiance lines. Though this new wave of guns is certainly gonna add some spice to LD.

Sorry I was so harsh about that. It's just that was a bit... New content revealing? Sorry :( (I should really get off the forums...)

What do you mean with more valiance lines ? damage types valiances ? oh the DAKKA !
so thers gonna be a pure piercing antigua line ?

Above, I meant status Valiances. I can't really give away much more.
Could the new armor be...a shadow lair gunner armor?

Funny how everyone sais that Zeddy got in trouble and teased him, but everyone else who did it they ignored...

So... targeting a November release, eh?

I have spoilers of some new, unmentioned weapons, but I'm keeping them for myself. @Wolfe-knight below: yes, it's those. Except I e-mailed the SK team about it after seeing it and they removed the spoilers.

"I have spoilers of some new, unmentioned weapons, but I'm keeping them for myself."
where did you see them?!
Tell me please!

@Cinoa
I have only seen the twenty three "new" guns but all have been talked about already. Do by chance you mean those two 0* weapons not many people have found yet? They are not really anything special and most will probably just dismiss them.

@Bitsbee
0* weapons, I did not say guns, though one of them might be a gun. I think that is enough spoilers for today, have fun trying to figure out what weapons im talking about.

Even so, new T1 Weapons=Oodles of fun.
I hope we get new T1 Shadow Equipment.

@Bitsbee if you poke around the files in the preview client, you might find something interesting in the weapons section.

If you can find your SK (Preview) file directory you can just manually look through png's without dealing with all the wat.
And use your imagination for the models.
If you can't understand that or understand how to find what i'm talking about, I'm not explaining any further.

So OOO, can we still expect this in November, or not? If not it's fine, just tell us please :)

We do like being told things; as long as they're honest, transparent things.

I realize it's a bit late to be asking this kind of question, and I may not be popular for asking it, but it's been on my mind. Will the Autogun line (*coughblitzneedlecough*) be seeing any major change? Not only is it the de facto strongest gun in the game, it's also the strongest bomb (as well as arguably the strongest sword if used at point-blank). Let me clarify. Back when shard bombs got changed up, the rational given was that bombs do area damage, guns do projectiles, and swords to both; so the shard bombs were changed to an AoE instead of a projectile spread. Well. Autoguns aren't really shooting projectiles, they're shooting an area of effect, which goes against the new line of thinking given with the shard bomb update.
Thoughts?

I'm willing to bet all of my cold hard end game crowns that if the update happened we would get invincitinks on every gun including the blitz needle (I see that rage buiding up in you) so we have to wait till Jan till all of it is fixed.

Invinciticks on guns? How would the catalyzers work then?

With Chaos set which gunner needs anything else? I happily use it for MAX damage MAX CTR, use trinkets, med UVS and SSB to get MAX ASI. Neg stat bonus don't really bother me, I rarely ever get hit, even when soloing.
Edit: So wait.......oh no...this means.......Chaos set will be nerfed!!??!?!?!

Is this the thread I'm looking for? Its not about us getting to say "I told you so.." to the developers so I'm not quite sure.

Ugh, our Internet was cut out, and I have no way to play SK when (if) the gunner update comes out. Also, I have posted this cause I'm at the library, in case you wanted to know. EDIT: woah, just found out its now estimated to come out by January. I think I may have Internet by then.

If theres no
- 5* Percing antigua
- Elemental Catalyzer
- Iron Slug buff
- Ricochet internal exploit fix ( god plz no inviframes)
- General guns buff
- Blitz Narf
- Exclusive Gunner shield
- Outlaw Chroma !
am gonna cry D:

"Targeting a November release date" = "We're hoping to release it in November".
"Targeting a November release date" =/= "We're going to release it in November".
Get it in your heads... Now... Please... Take out your head and weld it on there with a blowtorch.
@Dasmir
You forgot "Polaris Narf"
And if anything negative does happen to my babies, I will write 9,000+ angry letters to OOO HQ, if it doesn't get reverted then, I will send death threats, then I will fly to their HQ (Overseas if necessary) and walk in with an AK-47 as a final warning to revert my babies to their former glory.
You know what I'm talking about.

Only tryhards switch spam, true gunner reload.

- General guns buff
Seriously, this. All guns with a few exceptions (Blitz and arguably some Drivers) are like pea-shooters comparing to swords. On top of doing less damage per hit, guns don't have large AOE as swords do.
Yes, gunners don't die much, but they don't do much damage either. And with how small spaces in SK generally are (tiny rooms with lots of traps and objects), the range advantage is neglectable in many cases.
First up, this is definitely a long needed update so YAY :3
But I have one question >:D
Will the new line of gunning helms and armours still 'upgrade' from the original gunslinger armours?
Anoyone who can answer this tyvm, and great job devs :)
EDIT: New Page ;) Goodluck?
