    Yes! They buffed fire. Now everything including myself can die quicker.

      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.

          Definitely unweildy at short range, but the ability to one shot minor enemies at range makes quick work of things like rockets and do a lit of damage to gaps in armor while teammates distract.

          Situational, sure. But really great in those sutuations and even better after the update.

        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!

    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.

    It’s not like stagger did anything. I’ve watched countless devastators ice skate towards me while I unload on them.

          Okay but that was a few patches ago, not this one, and if I remember right it had it’s recoil increased and capacity decreased, damage was untouched.

            Maybe they buffed bugs? Our group usually walks through extreme difficulty but I struggled taking out lone brood commanders today. Hunters taking 3 shots at medium range.

            🤷 Maybe my helmet was on wonky
