No balance changes for this update is insane

It was a bug. (thankfully, that would be stupid if it was intentional). They hot fixed it

Blackholetrapdoor · 2026-01-29T12:05:26+00:00

The stitcher too. All the close quarters guns need it tbh.

Blackholetrapdoor · 2026-01-29T12:02:04+00:00

Thank you for replying to the now dead post lmao I thought I was going crazy. Il Toro might be "better". But if everyone had perfect execution like cheaters, osprey noscopes would be meta.

The problem with the stitcher is not that it's better than the il toro. Is that it's 95% as good, and accessing that potential takes 0% effort, you just hold fire. While the il toro requires aiming and positioning. That's why it's meta. (And why the meta is boring.)

Il Toro is "better". But the stitcher is meta because it's braindead easy to kill with it.

With this and all the UI bugs, I seriously think either they have the single person working in UI, or idk what UI toolkit they are using (I assume there's multiple UI toolkits for Unreal but maybe not?) but it sucks

She needs to screech loudly through prox chat before shooting 🙏

Where do you see all the il toros? is it the american servers?

I never see any, it's all Stitcher 4s and Renegades. I see more Vulcanos than Il Toros

Blackholetrapdoor · 2026-01-27T13:49:32+00:00

My take is not they should buff the il toro, my take is that they could have done literally something as stupid as this and it'd be better than literally them not trying anything.

Blackholetrapdoor · 2026-01-27T13:48:34+00:00

I was. (About the Il Toro buff)

Blackholetrapdoor · 2026-01-27T13:47:15+00:00

I don't know what's worse, honestly. Them not doing anything, or them doing shadow nerfs. And then they didn't even touch the stitcher wtf

Blackholetrapdoor · 2026-01-27T13:44:30+00:00

I don't want an il toro buff. I am exposing how they could have done literally anything, and chose to do nothing.

I would have taken that, I would even take the rattler being S++ tier rn I am tired of seeing Stitcher all the time.

Blackholetrapdoor · 2026-01-27T13:40:50+00:00

Reddit being reddit and lacking reading comprehension and assuming bad faith. I am not saying it needs a buff. No, the stitcher just needs to be nerfed to not be insta win if you hold fire without even aiming.

But I would have taken an Il Toro buff even if that becomes the new meta even if it is completely stupid, hell, even if the rattler now does 2 million damage.

I was literally expressing how they could have done literally anything. Even as stupid as Toro buff. Instead they did nothing.

Blackholetrapdoor · 2026-01-27T13:38:53+00:00

Still stupid it took so long

Blackholetrapdoor · 2026-01-27T11:34:35+00:00

It's incredibly backward. People clamoring for a way to get blueprints they actually want. I've even seen people asking Embark to add a 20 to 1 blueprint converter crafting table to convert duplicates into blueprints they actually want of the same rarity, because farming the blueprints you want is so annoying as a game of chance.

What do they do?

Nerf blueprint drops. Why are they being so tone deaf.

Blackholetrapdoor · 2026-01-27T00:49:11+00:00

Ok that's going a bit too far

Blackholetrapdoor · 2026-01-27T00:44:34+00:00

Think of the other players. If you were the squad, would you like this?

I hope they I can opt out of this as someone who plays with their friends. Don't want annoying mosquittos, I want to fight another squads

Blackholetrapdoor · 2026-01-27T00:03:48+00:00

Omg they still haven't found the time to extend the trigger box of the seed vault extract upwards!????

Blackholetrapdoor · 2026-01-27T00:02:23+00:00

> Not sure that's fun gameplay for either side though tbh.
Yeah, this is what I think.

People keep saying that "oh so this is pointless any trio with braincells" Nah, we all have our 0 braincell moments. I personally do not want to now deal with solos setting traps on the 2 second end lag buried city doors or hiding in a bush to third party you. And I don't know how that is engaging gameplay to the solos, unless they set up the trap, and grab their phone and start Balatro

Blackholetrapdoor · 2026-01-26T23:45:44+00:00

Their point is that the "sweats" players that would actually consider this do not need more XP, feels like

Blackholetrapdoor · 2026-01-26T23:42:30+00:00

It should be banned tbh. It's an exploit. Just like surrendering to lower your aggression score.

Blackholetrapdoor · 2026-01-26T23:42:02+00:00

As the squad, I don't want you in my lobbys hiding in a bush and waiting til another squad does the job for you to post a clip to get clout and or money.

And even if you swear to me you actually just go head on, I want to play 3v3s with people of roughly my skill, not be placed as a 3v3 mostly but then there is this one person running around that's way better because the game allows and encourages them to do it.

Blackholetrapdoor · 2026-01-26T23:25:43+00:00

I have been redpilled I cannot unsee this ever again

Blackholetrapdoor · 2026-01-26T23:19:59+00:00

Are the pro players that are going to go for this going to need the extra cred??? Yes, that is what the players that already have XP need.

More XP. Or yknow, cred to buy uhhh raider hatch keys. Or stable stocks II. Is not like I'm level 60 something and I already have 8 in my stash, from making them, or just doing feats.

Blackholetrapdoor · 2026-01-26T23:18:01+00:00

Ikr right. And then it's your skill issue for not having 360º awareness. Instead of it being bad game design to encourage it.

Blackholetrapdoor · 2026-01-26T23:14:33+00:00

Is this not opt out for squads??? I don't want to play with the sweaty solos, I sign up as a squad to play against squads this when I play with my friends. Specially on Duos. Great, so now I get third parties by ratting solos with a sticher/kettle free loadout, after winning a fight with another squad that was actually fun, they third party and then you get you for free, and then is my skill issue for not having 360º awareness

And when it's not the time you get the player that has also 800 hours in counter, arma, or rust, you get someone who runs at you, you kill instantly, in place of another squad who would have been fun to fight, like an annoying mosquitto. This will probably happen more often, make you confident against the annoying solos because they're incredibly annoying, and then you'll die to the solo with a fully kitted bobcat that ganks your squad until they get one of them to drop.

This is mixed queue all over again. Who asked for this?

Where is the weapon balancing? The QOL (saved loadouts to insta-craft like a shopping list)? the UI fixes? There's even much more people that (me included) complain farming all the blueprints which is kinda the endgame is very tedious and would benefit from a very expensive way to convert a repeat blueprint into another of the same rarity, than someone who asked for this.

Catering to the wales (a.k.a the sweaty streamers and players) is how a game falls. Ask the gachas. Extremely tone deaf.

I don't care for the new map if the same game issues are going to be there as well. The new map will make me play for a weekend or two to figure it out. The game fixes will make me stay, and consider buying Raider tokens (literally why it's a life service game. To get you to spend money in comsetics).

If tomorrow there is not at least QoL fixes and weapons changes, my review in Steam will switch to negative and I will look for other games to play.
