1. It isn't a riot shield you're paying the 75,000 for, its the gun AND the riot shield. You should be thankful you were even given a riot shield, it's the only gun in the game with that effect. Now, again, this having been said, the KSG alone should not perform like a 75k gun, because it isn't even a 75k gun to begin with. The riot shield itself is probably a little under half of its actual price, making it about, say, 30k. The KSG is really probably only about a 45k gun. So don't complain that the price/performance ratio is off for the gun itself. 2. Also, you're implying that out of the 30 shots (also incorrect) that are fired in said gunfight hit. That is incorrect - out of the 20~ shots that are fired in 10 seconds, probably only about 4 or 5 of them hit. Under this pretense, given your 80% block rate, one bullet out of every five will hit and inflict damage. In ten seconds, the enemy will hit one bullet. Seeing as everyone uses a 9 damage M4, it can take up to a whole MINUTE for a gunfight to end against a KSG user. Do you know how long a minute is? Take your favorite song and divide it by three, maybe four. There you have it, a minute long gunfight against the KSG. In that minute that the enemy that has hit 6 bullets in a minute, you've probably hit at least 10 in 30 seconds. That would be ridiculously long and tedious for both users, and isn't going to work out. Please stop dragging out a thread like this, because everything that needed to be said has been said in 10+ other pages. There really isn't any more arguing to be needed, Snake already said the KSG will stay the way it is - and if it reverts to its original state, a vote would have to be in place. If it doesn't pass, it doesn't pass. If it does, the people that wanted the KSG nerfed will start up again, on here and on iEra, and it will be reverted back to this state that it currently is at. |

In my opinion, Romario didn't read much of this thread if any - He still keeps going on about the damage reduction being 25% when I long since changed it to 40% x.x I already stated with the figures as they are now, it's hard to make changes without making the shield stupidly overpowered, aka standing in door ways that are narrow and blocking entire gangs from being able to enter while someone sits their healing you or spamming burgers. OK GUYS The damage IS 4. Learn to upgrade your weapons if you want them to be the best they can be. :3 Romario wont be happy till he gets 75k back - whatever the stats on the gun become - fact. |

Then, it "may" take up to a whole minute. What's the use of a KSG if you die within 5 seconds? It has to have atleast 70% block rate, I agree that 85% is too high. But the freeze is high and the speed is extremely low. I just want the shield have a very high blocking rate, and don't really care about the other stats. I mostly use it to go in a gunwall, and with 40% blocking rate that isn't helping.

Secondly, everyone will get mad at KSG users for having a ridiculously high block rate. If 1/4 or 1/5 of their bullets hit and do damage, people aren't going to be very happy. Even 70% block rate is about 1/4 bullets doing damage - that's basically giving the KSG quadrupled health. Gunfights would be ridiculously slow as I've said, and the KSG user can easily out shoot even an M4 when 3/4 their bullets aren't doing damage because of the 70% block rate. I will guarantee, if the block rate is anywhere above 40%, the KSG will win most gunfights purely because the user isn't taking any damage. Because they aren't taking much damage, its really only a matter of time for the KSG to finish off the other person. |
