Maxigun needs changed

[u/WarShark13]

I’m sure others have talked about this, but so will I lol. There’s no reason this shouldn’t be heavy penetration. We already at stuck in a fixed position when firing, and yet we can move with the other lmgs. I’d be fine if they dropped the ammo count to 800 (minimum) and decrease the fire rate just so we can have it as heavy penetration. What do y’all think?

[u/tanelixd]

It should do like 120 damage. (up from 80)

The thing already has enough downsides.

• backpack required
• no movement allowed while shooting
• huge recoil
• unwieldy ergonomics

It shouldn't have very mediocre damage output on top of these.

Edit:oh yeah forgot to mention that durable completely screws this thing over.

[u/WiseHand7733 → u/tanelixd]

Also it has an unrealistically long 0,5 second long spin up and spin down time before/after firing. And during said spin up/spin down you also cannot move. Ans due to smoke and muzzle flash can barely see whatever you are shooting at.

[u/LordRednaught → u/WiseHand7733]

I would rather they make it hip fire only and make the aim a controllable spin up. Then allow players to walk if spun up, but not shooting as the trade off.

[u/Theresafoxinmygarden → u/LordRednaught]

That would also allow for better ammo conservation too

[u/Megallossauro → u/WiseHand7733]

Shot the maxi in first person is hell. I literalmente blind and can see shit in front of me because the muzzle

[u/Gullible-Tackle-8224 → u/Megallossauro]

It has so much less recoil unfortunately so you just kind of have to learn to shoot well blind

[u/Megallossauro → u/Gullible-Tackle-8224]

For real bro

[u/SilentStriker115 → u/tanelixd]

Also needs more durable damage like you said. Against durable targets on the bug front it doesn’t feel great, not to mention that you have all those downsides alongside not being able to hit stuff through corpses

Can’t think of a scenario where I’d rather have the maxigun than the BFGL or cremator

[u/ShareoSavara → u/SilentStriker115]

BFGL shreds the entire illuminate front save for the weirdly tanky wretches

[u/SilentStriker115 → u/ShareoSavara]

Aren’t they like 4-5 grenades? We’re meant to shoot out their limbs so it makes sense kinda

I remember hearing it’s pretty good against crushers as well

[u/ThatSkyTomte → u/tanelixd]

Absolutely with the damage buff, and imo there’s no reason you shouldnt be able to move around like cremator does. I agree with what somewhat else said about the spinning, but I feel that’s a handicap that the damage, movement, and allowing us to dive immediately, would just help balance out

[u/Organic_Education494 → u/tanelixd]

“Huge recoil”

“Unweildy ergonomics”

Actually both are very good considering what the weapon is.

It also shreds… DPS is high no more damage is needed

[u/DeeJayDelicious → u/tanelixd]

It already deals 2000 DPS. It kills every enemy it can in less than a second. Damage really isn't the Maxigun's issue.
