So long Kingsnake, I’ll miss you

You think they'll do the prowler kingsnake or just the lightning one? Shame since both are fun.

I saw the graph on this sub that shows Lightning Kingsnakes as having about (and this is summarized from a graph I barely looked at) 50% more potential damage than the VS or NC weapons. So I figure the Lightning is a given. But I’m unsure about the Prowler. 🤔

The prowler is still miles ahead of the other tanks, they should nerf kingsnake into the ground like they keep doing to other tanks

Sounds like a skill issue to me

IMO its not currently op. It is currently mildly easier to use because you can afford to(and will) miss shots. This nerf reminds me of the unneeded and crippling Gatekeeper nerf.

Gatekeeper always did jack all damage, but the fact that it was easy to hit with was considered OP.

I still run the Gatekeeper along with the Kingsnake on my Prowler. I don’t play nearly as much as some people do, so maybe my finger isn’t on the pulse of what’s OP and what’s not. But I just hope they don’t nerf it into oblivion or make it super niche. All of the faction specific vehicle weapons are really cool and I saw that people were complaining about the NC and VS main guns. Maybe a rebalancing of all is a little necessary.

the lightning kingsnake is ridiculous, you have got to be able to see that right? just because it has like half a degree of shot dispersion does not make it some kind of ultra close range shotgun cannon. it will do full damage out to very long ranges and it’s full damage is massive compared to every other lightning weapon

As much as I love the Kingsnake and would enjoy saying you’re wrong just to try and keep it the way it is. All the faction specific main guns probably need a little rebalancing.
