Hey guys,
Have you guys realised that the Magnus line is becoming the underdog in the world of Handguns? If you could make it better, how would you do it?
Share your thoughts, opinions and suggestions.
Thanks!!
I'll start...
The Magnus shots should cause a small-sized explosion, dealing knockback comparable to that of axe-type swords like DA or Sundruska
Heavy guns are always fun.
And word is going around that there's going to be more in the magnus line with the gunner update.
:D
I'm not suppose to say anything because I'm sure one of them will put their foot right up my gluteus maximus, but I will say this.
The magnus line will be oh so much better next month.
Magnus hasn't been becoming the underdog. It has BEEN the underdog for as long as anyone can remember.
This has been talked to death anyway, you could probably google "magnus buff" and find a ton of results.
A buff will come soon though. Hopefully in January. If it could pierce enemies and get a longer range, I'd like it more.
Seems a bit pointless to post this right before the widly announced gunner update. I'm sure the dev team aren't going to give the magnus line a blind eye.
Allowing it to pierce through enemies with each shot, perhaps dealing less damage to each enemy after the first, is what I'd do to it.
meh, i think first of all you have to guarantee that it has a mechanic similar to what every other weapon has so far, and that's a charge attack that does more damage than the combo. neither the the magnus line nor the troikas and the 2*-3* brandishes had that, but they buffed the two last ones. so, why not start on that?
I still say it should be like the DBB and knock everything it hits down.
Hopefully, normal shots can go through tons of enemies. Like the Big Old Charge that pierces enemies but as normal shots.
Ha. maybe it will go to the other side of the spectrum and be OP.
One can only hope.
Range increase, damage increase, Shadow damage and Freeze to make it a good Gremlin alternative for non-boss-weapon users.
That, or a Shadow-damage Autogun for Mender shields.
Mender shields are neutral, they don't take bonus damage from anything.
Before Sirius comes with his tally book!
I'm more interested in how Nick will make it better at this point.
I've seen several dozen ideas on the forums for how to buff it, and I've written quite a few of my own- but it hasn't been buffed because Nick already knows what he wants for it. We know that he wants new mechanics for the gun, and that the new mechanics wanted didn't fit the engine and could not be made.
I honestly don't understand why Iron Slug doesn't just pierce enemies and cause them to ride the bullet up to two-three hits based on range, kinda like what the Brandish-Charges can do.
But he has his own plans so.
-decrease the damage a bit and add a 3rd shot to the clip
-increase the overall damage
-increase stun rate
The Pummel gun, despite being virtually the same to the casual onlooker, is mechanically a better gun than Magnus, both in range and knockback. Perchance we'll see this as part of the Gunner Update, which promises to balance existing guns while adding 'new' ones.
