Wait why are they nerfing the Deagles? the whole point is that they have a poo poo-ton of power and accuracy, but not a lot of ammo

They have tons of ammo relative to how fast they can kill things and pick up more ammo than they use up.

Christ 90 minutes for Cook off 25 bags. It was alot more fun than Euro Bag simulator, but I am not doing that again. Ran with the KSP/M249 SAW which gives you near infinite ammo. Ran some numbers, figuring I fired somewhere between 60,000 to 96,000 rounds with 1214 kills out of 2708.

It took us 77. Is there really that much variance in how often you can cook?

Overkill has made its fair share of bad decisions, they don't need to take a leaf from tripwire and nerf fun instead of making more options fun.

Cook off seems to have really brisk or slow meth gestation that changes pace over time, it's a weird rhythm or rather a lack of.

Every option is fun. People just feel a need to minmax still so almost everybody runs some form of M308 or Deagle variant. It's no different from before with almost everyone using either a CAR4 or Loco.

The problem is that due to the gap between DW and the rest of the game, the dev's policy of fun isn't great for encouraging gun diversity when there is a giant neon sign saying how great 160 damage is. You can hardly blame pubbies taking the path of least resistance (which happens everywhere all the time).

If OK and DW enemies hit harder, had gensec spawn on lower difficulties and maybe something from the vox dehydrated feverdream manuscript in lieu of an arbitrary health increase, it wouldn't be necessary to hit the higher damage thresholds. Basically anything over making enemies bullet sponges for the majority of weapons, some of which can't reliably land headshots at a distance thanks to the shakeup.

Yes, there is time deliberately wasted when Bain refuses to list ingredients over Twitch or the Pilot babbling other inane poo poo. The same problem with all Bain related cooking.

DW wasn't particularly fun before either when people used a select group of 42 damage near perfect accuracy guns while anything goes on OK, almost like the design flaw on DW remained a constant.

The overwhelming majority of guns hit 80 accuracy very easily, and the guns that don't are generally hilarious bullet hoses that still manage to hit 39.9 damage, and they're all good on deathwish. Perfect accuracy is in no way necessary to performing well and having fun.

Took about 90 minutes on Deathwish. The first attempt (before the game crashed) took even longer because we accidentally put in two muriatic acids at the same time for one cook, so we'd have to wait on Bile to drop ingredients before we could finish bags.

Skunkrocker posted:

I see it pretty often with goon groups too, not just pubs. Maybe not everybody will bring the M308 or some form of Deagle, but let's not act like it's a rare occurrence.

Prokhor Zakharov posted:

Not really? The Repeater seems about the same. It was always just shy of a Deathwish breakpoint beforehand, so the damage nerf really didn't do anything. The Peacemaker eventually got its accuracy multipliers fixed so it no longer has that idiotic shotgun spread, and it got a massive buff in damage and ammo count; really it's just a ~style points~ sidegrade because the other revolvers do similar damage numbers. Dynamite and the Plainsrider remain unchanged. I'd hardly call that "utter poo poo".

Peacemaker is a significant downgrade from the Bronco and Mateba in terms of reload speed, however.

At this point, I've used almost every weapon/build on DW, and they're all basically viable, provided you don't need to lean on your weapon stats. If you do, that's an issue with you, not the gun.

If you like the mark 10 and micro uzi you should give the CMP a gander. It's my personal favorite.
