Saw this for the test server. Logged on, tested out some of the weapons and took a few screenshots.
The Dragon  The Scorpion  Dragon & Scorpion  NC Pistol (The Spear)  TR Pistol (The Stinger)  VS Pistol (The Eraser)  To bad they waited so long to release these, they are kind of fun. |

I couldn't tell much of a difference between the NC and TR's but The VS projectile is completely different. Im not sure how much damage each gun delivers on either mode, but Im pretty sure its balanced (from what I could tell). Yes using the 2nd fire mode is very devasting (and can instakill), but you have to be a 2 year vet to use it and it takes up 100% of your Stamina. So its a pretty big trade off. |

i dont think a Ranged Instakill is balance no matter what the cost... i mean, thanks to Client side hit detection, the guy will be dead before the first shot hits him on his screen. even if your stamina is drained... the guy is dead, unless theres a second guy, then you just reload and shoot him befor he can get withing 20M
one of these pistols in the hands of a cloaker is going to be hell...

| The Dragon kills way to fast for my taste. I was in a rexo, when a vanu snuck up behind me and killed me with what might have been a laggy triple jack. I checked and found out it was a flamethrower. It honestly was flamethrower carnage galore in that playtest. The Scorpion was pretty neat though. Got a few kills with it. I didn't mess with the pistols so I have no insight on them. |

The pistols give a new balance to cloaking. People are crying about it but it makes cloakers useful again. Also the flamethrower isn't bad cause it has such a short range but they need to nerf the burn damage. You lose about 40hp (just hp) from the burn damage even after they stop shooting you. As for the Scorpion... it is dumb, it is a pretty worthless weapon. -------------

-Late post-
Actually, I fell in love with the scorpion. Seeming as sniping is only good outside and provides only a single shot of AI damage, the scorpion is much better. I remember taking out a groups of softys in one shot, especially during bridge fights. Problem is, it's useless when the other players hide indoors and shoot them off, that's when the bolt driver proves more useful than it.
