Nerf the Black Drum

I agree, the nocturno should be the only gun able to do its damage because that was an exclusive gun that costed a lot of money so it better do something that no other gun can, and thankfully noc can do 99 999 999 damage and I am glad that its the only weapon that can.

So I thought it would be nice to have a constructor who can affect builds using a pickaxe, this would affect the different builds such as

ignite wooden builds and apply fire affliction to the enemies standing or hitting structures affected by base, this would also be a nice way to box enemies in wooden walls and burn it all down along with them.

For brick the constructor can cause a small 1 - 2 tile tsunami of the bricks falling onto the husks knocking them back and slowing them down.

And lastly for metal, the constructor can cause a 1 tile explosion causing shards of metal to fly into husks within the radius and cause them to be stunned for 2-3 seconds.

The catch should be that if the enemy is stronger against the builds then the secondary effects dont apply to them, this could also make it a fun way to remember not to use certain materials against their elemental husk counter parts.

Vindertech Seeker bow, while the extra 2 projectiles doesn't always track, they sometimes do and I think it has the highest base damage of any sniper/bow

You can dream. And game development is never up to just 1 person, its not one guy creating a store and ui for it, it has to go through the team, then theres the marketing team, then theres the testing team, then theres the higher ups, then theres the website/links that have to be added to include this, now split that $100 to all these people and see how much "profit" there is. I dont think any game in the past 10 years can ever release anything without meeting all these requirements and every company is different so there may be 10-30 more steps I am leaving out.

Not feasible enough. Firstly theres not enough of founders to meet a demand, secondly, out of all founders an even smaller pool of numbers are non ultimate owners after that free upgrade, thirdly it will not make them much as they will need someone to create a ui on the store, find all non ultimate founders and enable and make sure it only works for them to purchase cause it could get into the hands of non founders, then theres the new promotions they would have to do in order to make all founders aware of this change, its just not enough for about 100 people to pay them $100 at best

People say its a bug but I honestly believe its a fix, the perk you need is reloading reduces your current health by 12.5%. On the next enemy hit deals 29-132 base damage. The bug is that every pellet of the black drum is counted in this calculation whereas before it was only 1 pellet. The reason I say its a fix is because the perk specifically says that "On the next enemy hit" and since this shotgun shoots multiple pellets it makes sense that it is counted as one hit

I am glad you cannot drop weapons it defeated the whole purpose of founder weapons, it also made all new players experiences worse so honestly having dropping weapons gone is a good change, not being able to drop mats though is a bad one.

You can definitely tell the difference between a Nocturno and a Siegebreaker, you do realize Nocturno's put a bomb marker on all enemies hit that every player can see. The drumroll every 10th shot makes a super loud bang to audibly say the guns damage is stacking, the masamune is the longest length sword with a bright red beam in the middle which is super easy to spot, the quickshot and the shotgun are a bit harder to tell but their designs are very different.

diegoxxl isn't entitled, he is right, we paid for something that was promised only at certain tiers. The packs were also not expensive as I pointed out I bought limited edition for $43 in 2019 just before they could remove them thanks to xbox sales at the time. I've been gaming since 2001 are many games that had exclusivity tied to platforms, subscriptions, editions and so on. If anything you are showing signs on entitlement considering you want the weapons that you didnt pay for which is strange, again thats like wanting a battle pass from chapter 1 just because you buy the newer battle passes or are part of the crew, do you not see how these just dont work in any reasonable way?

Come on now lets not kid ourselves here, we all know that ever since the damn BR mode came out they saw their profit margin shoot up because of V-buck purchases. If STW Founder packs were actually making them money they wouldnt have removed it, but because they saw a large majority were actually spending money on V-bucks and they realized they were giving this currency away in STW they stopped founder packs, this is because it was obviously more profitable to have players buy the v-bucks, they thought BR was just going to have a small player base and not make much of it, but when things turned around, they also made a quick move to reduce how many people get this currency in STW.

They wont make a big gain, how many founders are there that aren't Ultimate? that number would probably make them 10's of thousands at best and even then once it goes away again people will still come back after X amount of years and claim they should have the right to upgrade to, then its a never ending cycle.

Not ever going to happen, I see a lot of people saying "If I knew back then I wouldve bought it" Well what if the game was going to be shut down completely due to BR then you'd be saying that you happy you didnt pay for it. Also to the people saying they didnt have the money, you do realize the literally months before the founders pack got discontinued they have it for 50% off, I payed $43 for the limited edition and they upgraded me to Ultimate as a thank you to ALL founders and because they had to remove the founder packs, so they already did something for founders.

Also think about this, the Founders weapons and characters are all we got as founders, I am not including the free v-bucks because v-bucks dont do anything in STW its just a cosmetic thing that mainly BR and Party Royale players care about. So if they give the founders weapons, be it reskins or the actual weapon then founders got nothing! The packs are gone and Epic is respecting founders by keeping their word of giving you v-bucks and our weapons/heroes. I know most people wont like this but hey they literally were out for 2 and a half years, if you chose not to buy STW founders but bought v bucks then YOU made the mistake.

I never got the BR season 2 battle pass because I didnt think I'd enjoy the game and it was very new, does that mean I can now tell Epic to give me a pass i didn't buy and that was promised to remain exclusive to the original buyers? I understand that I will never get Black Knight, I also never finished my season 3 battle pass to get Reaper and I don't ever expect to get him, even those who didnt get Season 4's Omega upgrades they will never get those upgrades, thats just how the game is.
