Yes! They buffed fire. Now everything including myself can die quicker.
- Just when I learned to stop drop and roll, it becomes irrelevant.
Finally some weapon buffs! Dominator sounds like a legit primary now.
- I have been using it regularly and thought it was prettty solid already, looking forward to the damage increase!
  
  There really wasn't any payoff for the sluggish aim and having to lead shots, so the extra damage definitely helps. That said it still won't replace the scorcher for me. Maybe it'll be better against the illuminates, whenever they release.
Oooh breaker incendiary, might take another look at that.
- Worth it in bug missions.
  
  Yeah it was already really good in big missions. But now a buff to the gun itself plus a 50% buff to all fire damage?! Shit's gonna be 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah, but the JAR Dominator got a huge buff. That gun was already good, now it may be godly.
This is great news, I’ve been busy with my wife’s birthday and I then got sick, so I’ve been playing Bolatro because this game can be stressful AF! But I’m very excited to dive back in this week. Really hope the mech is a bit more sturdy now, when I played Friday, it blew up almost immediately just using the gun and not the rockets. Also the stupid reset issue is finally gone!
Time to unlearn all my arc thrower muscle memory
- Yes, but think of the repetitive strain injury they've saved you! 😅
Breaker feels like it fires nerf rounds now.

But the plasma rifle.. that shit slaps
- But the breaker didn't get nerfed?
  
  Yes it did, a few patches ago.
As long as they leave my Punisher alone, I'm fine
I wonder if the armor pen on the Diligence CS will make up for the glacial ADS movement.
NOOO!!!! 😭😭😭 Not the SLUGGER!!! Stagger was a bit crazy, I'll admit.
- I used it yesterday and it still feels fine tbh.
  
  Yeah, it's not bad, but I lament the loss of it's stun lock against Berserkers and such. T-T
It’s not like stagger did anything. I've watched countless devastators ice skate towards me while I unload on them.
I can confirm the reports of the AMR scope being fixed are true. Why they never acknowledge this as a bug nor reported it as fixed is beyond our puny human brains. But that and the 30% damage buff makes AMR users happy pandas.
