KSG is great by itself. But why use the shield if it's harming it's performance? How often do you see a KSG user with a shield? Extremely rare. Using the shield nerfs the KSG and it's benefits aren't enough to compensate for the heavy freeze rate and terrible rate of fire.

Well, that's one of the problems. Why would a shield come with a gun and do just about nothing, other than nerfing it? But, as you could assume, the shield is cool as hell and should be cool as hell to use. I guess you could change the context: "How often do you see a KSG user with a shield?" Not often, and it's because there's no logical reason to.

Everyone see that the KSG is underpowered gun for its price.

the only thing is the gun admin doesnt want to admit it.

this issue is very very old.

can u please fix the damn gun or just remove it.

i mean, why put a shield in KSG if it only nerf the gun?

Not being mean but could you all give BitzSam a break he trying his best to fix this.Now stop complaining and just tell him the problems your having instead of saying how the KSG can't beat a bar because a course it can't beat a bar 200,000 to 75,000 ._. And how Underpowered it is because if you said its UP most likely that other person said it was UP so you really think repeating the same thing over and over again will help!

lowered freeze and upped firerate on KSG whilst with shield, idk why the shield block seems to work for some and not for others but ill keep looking

Block rate still not working for me Sam..

No we are telling him the problem, KSG is great without shield but as soon as you put the shield on even a Uzi kills it, I really liked Shock's idea where the shield gets destroyed after 5 consecutive shots and regenerates after a little while, it sounds as the gun will be balanced if that idea is placed into action that way users and opponents won't complain.

I agree with you bobo, but the shield just nerfs the KSG plus block is not working for me whilst equipped shield.

I still like my idea where we make the shield its own melee.

Your idea was 100% block rate, that way people will stand on base doors and not move and act as a human door which will not be penetratable and it will be same as when people use the lag glitch to block doors.

You're right, it doesn't block no damage. Hence it blocks damage.

I don't think this is the case but, the shield works on a PC version but not on a device version. (I am very likely to be wrong. But it's just like how the Era Facebook has different sound effects)

ugh no, that was not what i ment to implement. What i ment to say is due to the 100% block on it CAN NOT BLOCK melees and explosives like the old KSG shield. It would make things a hell of a lot easier to balance the KSG without it being OP with shield or underpowered

Well KSG shield still not blocking damage for many of us.

I used my iPod when testing the shield

Sorry Sam, but shield still not working for me, wrap me in game and ill prove it to you ?

After testing the KAG out with Sam, infact the KSG has been buffed and it is indeed very good, however the problem what we are facing is the shield.

When carrying the shield the movement speed is the same as normal, the freeze rate of the gun is reduced by only 0.2 (which is not bad) also the Sam has buffed the freeze rate of the gun to, which makes it a bit better.

The main concern of the KSG gun now is the shield, due to unexpected circumstances Sam can not read the script which pix wrote, therefore he was enable to fix the shield problem which does not work, however Sam told me that SNK will look into this to fix the problem we are facing due to the shield. So hopefully once the shield is fixed the gun will be in perfect shape to play with it once again.

I think the KSG 9 damage is perfect and if you know how to use the gun you can dominate with it without a shield, but once the shield has been fixed it will be much better.

Thanks Sam!

So it's OP now?

No lol, it's balanced really well now, only OP when in right hands of true Sparer and if you know how to use it.

*Honestly, depending on how much % the shield blocks, it'd make more sense to lower movement speed until it breaks as well.. Basically like the Riot Shield, but to a lesser extent.

Once the shield has been fixed, the KSG will be well worth for its price.
