OK... I've seen some very sad things. But really?
Yes, this thing does normal damage, but to be brutally honest? It shouldn't have to deal with this. The green explosions are the toxic needle, my friend is wielding a fiery pepperbox. That range does not help this weapon line at all. Please give this autogun a range buff since you've decided it shouldn't vortex enemies in anymore.
I'm not even going to go on about normal weapons in general. You've heard it enough.
I got a Volcanic Pepperbox a ways back as an alternative option to the first 5* gun I had. (Supernova, if you're curious. Back then I preferred normal damage.) When I used it I found it extremely underwhelming, especially with the fact that you have to stand still to fire. When I saw my friend using Blitz Needle later, I was annoyed at how much faster and seemingly farther his shots traveled in comparison.
Right now the Volcanic Pepperbox feels like a joke, starting with the fact that it's normal damage and ending with the lessened range compared to its brothers. Nowadays I only even consider bringing the thing along if I know there's going to be ice cube slimes to melt; it's just about the only thing I've used Volcanic Pepperbox for where it actually felt useful. And somehow I get the feeling that an Ash of Agni bomb would do better at that.
So yeah, I don't see why Volcanic Pepperbox should have less range than its counterparts, even with the fire effect.

Hey, I used to be a Pepperbox fan when the game goes to Steam. I find it that Autogun is cool. :3
Until Lord Vanaduke tried to bully our butts. :<
So we made Blitz Needle instead, to show 'em who's the boss! ^w^
And yet... we did not see this happen before, it shows that this evidence demands the Autogun/Pepperbox series needs a balanced range buffing!
Demand! Demand!
(also pepperbox series can knockback monsters if ye guys didn't notice, it's true)
The "bugfix" basically turned Pepperbox's charge from a vacuum cleaner into a leaf blower. If they won't fix this, can they at least aid the weapon by adding the "blow-back" to the normal attack?
Or bring back the charge-vacuum.
Or make the shots pierce through enemies; that'd be nice, hitting a full mob with 15 burning bullets, it'd definitely have a use.
As a volc pepperbox user myself,I agree.it does need a buff. Either increase its range or bring back the vacuuming effect,after all,the vacuum was the thing that really made it shine,until OOO took it away.....

Yes, Autogun lines have recycled skins which make no sense and are very lazy.
No, it does not kill you to use that recycled skin until you upgrade it to 4*+.
No, V.Pepperbox is not useful; it is simply used differently. It is not meant to be used as Blitz or Plague are for offensive damage.
Yes, I have a 5* V.Pepperbox and have used it. It works very well as a support gun in spite of its offensive status.
