| Summary | 0018941: Reduce Coinshooter damage/increase cost | ||||
| Description | The coinshooter secondary does too much damage for its credit cost to the point where bosses and clearing rooms becomes quite easy. Coupled with the humble mech's ability to earn credits, this is quite overpowered. For example, on terminus (hard) with the efficiency perk which halves cost I started with 182 credits, used the coinshooter continuously and finished the fight in about a minute with 111 credits. The dps was also high enough to skip two phases. For other bosses including warden it costs < 40 credits to win easily. I suggest reducing the damage per shot/coins per salvo or making one salvo cost > 1 credit. | ||||

Thanks. It's always been a concern that the Contrishooter was too powerful, but so far we never had any full run reports of it's OPness, just short term reports. The contrishooter is meant to shred bosses if you have the credits to do so, but overuse of it should start having a negative long-term effect. Were you also using the Contrishooter during the run or were you saving all your credits for Terminus? In any case, it does seem a bit OP so a change to 1 credit per shot seems good. |

In the end I changed the cost to 0.5 but reduced the damage to 7. Pretty significant nerf overall, but I'll keep testing. Thanks! |

I was mostly using it on bosses and harder rooms, though rooms only required a couple of shots and I wasn't deliberately saving. Didn't make purchases after floor 4 and basically went directly for the bosses. Had about +80% damage, 30% crit + overcritical; while on the higher side, it isn't unreasonably high. Anyway, the changes sound good! |
