    Really? Because at fairly close range you are going to average 60 damage a shot with the shotgun. So mostly you will get back the ammo you fired if you never miss, and otherwise will likely just be draining your own metal like a boss. I think it sucks. I mean you could sit by a level 3 dispensor but then you would have infinte ammo for the regular guns anyway.
    That depends on how much metal it consumes per shot, but no reloading is really awesome and I generally have a ton of metal unless players are really on the ball destroying shit.

    It consumes 60 metal per shot

    It consumes 60 metal, that's what it says on the item description. I assume there is still a delay between shots even if there isn't a reloading animation, I guess it could be good for burst if it doesn't but that also seems to be stupid OP.

    I'm assuming it has the same rate of fire as the shotgun

    Oh geez I need those new Engy items.

    Yeah so the increased damage is kinda OP. I'm a bad sniper so I revert to body shots for the most part, and it's definitely noticeable.

    That sniper would be absolutely fine if it didn't have the damage.

  • ZekZek Registered User regular
    My guess is its stats are identical to the shotgun. You get a shotgun that fires forever but only as long as you never miss. Doesn't sound very good to me but I guess it's a reasonable tradeoff. The Short Circuit could be useful but it depends entirely on how it works.

  • RakaiRakai Registered User regular
    Yeah, that shotgun sucks but it looks so damn cool. 60 metal per shot is insane. If you use 6 shots with the normal shotgun and you're still in combat, it's because you were missing/too far and you would be out of ammo and have no metal for mini-sentries. (Or a group of enemies is completely oblivious to a engineer shooting them from close range) If you're standing next to a dispenser you're going to have a sentry up which means nothing will live long enough in shotgun range to last the 6 shots from the normal gun. If you start with 200 metal and you drop a mini-sentry, you have precisely 1 shot.

    Preordered. I feel a little dirty. But I was planning on buying it anyway and this way I save $15 and get some cool shit. I wish I could play spy, I love that helmet.

  • AzadIsCoolAzadIsCool Registered User regular
    In the other thread Ginger said the spread on the shotgun is far less.

    So apparently the original can be crafted now.

    I think you people are underestimating how long it takes to get to full charge with the sniper rifle. If you want any kind of use out of the weapon's bonuses, you're going to have to tunnel-vision constantly, and that means you're spy-bait. Plus, every round fired (fully charged or not) produces a "THE SNIPER IS OVER HERE" bullet, as opposed to just a ricochet appearing behind you. Kindly keep your panties unbunched for the time being.

    My favorite musical instrument is the air-raid siren.
  • MaddocMaddoc I'm Bobbin Threadbare, are you my mother? Registered User regular
    I never said it was overpowered, mind

    Just that it could be pretty nice

    On the subject of the other weapons, the Spy revolver seems way too situational

    Engi shotgun is AWESOME! tight as hell cone, 180 crit damage, 80+ damage at point blank. Metal doesn't go above 200.
    The short circuit can hit multiple targets...for 5 damage on players, I made it hit 10 at once, but it destroys masses of stickies, pipes and i assume rockets. Replaces pistol.

    Sniper rifle can penetrate infinitely. If you can line up enough heads, it'll shoot through them, when fully charged ofcourse, accompanied by weird noise. Max damage is 513.

    Revolver i didn't try, imagine it would work similar to Frontier Justice.
    Nanoclava is for spy, specs for everyone, company man for everyone, arm for heavy.

    Also the tracer on the sniper I didn't notice, cause i wasn't paying attention.

  • xzzyxzzy Registered User regular
    Not like it's ever a mystery where the sniper is anyway. This isn't Halo, they only got like 3 spots per map to stand and be useless. :rotate:

  • RakaiRakai Registered User regular
    So the short circuit helps engy nests? Just what was needed....

    [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]XBL: Rakayn | PS3: Rakayn | Steam ID
  • HunteraHuntera Rude Boy Registered User regular
    Yes, because an engie nest is supremely hard to take out as it stands.

  • ZekZek Registered User regular
    Not sure what Ginger is talking about, the spread and damage on the new shotgun is identical to the original.

    So the Short Circuit is basically just an airblast that doesn't reflect(or push people). Pretty handy I imagine, but not revolutionary or anything.

    Okay, I'm now positive Valve is trying to put out so many weapons that nobody can ever get them all with just drops.

    use it for a chance at a craft number deus ex item when they become craftable?

    That's probably worth a lot if you can sell it quickly. People are dumb and impatient like that.

    For anyone on the fence, here's the Ars Technica preview:
    http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/08/deus-ex-human-revolution-on-pc-hands-on-with-the-best-version-of-the-game.ars

    The reviewer says in the comment he would recommend a preorder of it on PC.

    I'm pretty excited about that sniper rifle. It looks amazing and the effect seems cool. Will be good at certain choke points in particular.

    Seems like it could make turrets temporarily immune to Kritzed soldiers, which is awesome by itself (well, awesome for the engineer. I still think, years later, than sentries are too powerful because they hard counter certain classes AND require more teamwork / skill to defeat than to protect).

    I had a different experience.

    But that's because I suck at sniper. Yeah it does feel that extra 15% encourages body-shotting, and with too much success.

    I could see the new Sniper rifle seeing use purely for being able to shoot through a sentry and instantly kill the Engineer behind it.
