TOPIC: HandCannon Nerf [Suggestion]

Server Name: Among all SSRP Servers

Suggestion Title: Nerf The Handcannon

How would it benefit the server: Make raiding more balanced.

Potential Issues/Exploits: N/A

Additional notes:

I think we all can agree that the handcannon is way too strong and i have not seen anything be done about this. I really like hand cannon due to it focusing only on raiding bases and doing close to zero damage to a player. But it's way too strong as of right now. It completely deletes bases and no matter what upgrades you have your base will get deleted just as if an admin was using remover tool (Chad).

What I have been wanting to see for a while is to reduce the handcannons ammo all the way to 2 shots (4 for ammo boost). It would still weaken the base alot but it would not delete bases as it does right now. Another way is to simply reduce it's damage by maybe 80%. Atleast then base shields would have a chance to restore some health to the props, proving themselves being useful entities considering they don't stand a chance to hand cannon right now.

The hand cannon is incredible cheap for what it can do. The past 3 days i've been basing we have been raided the same way almost every time. They hand cannon and delete the whole dupe then it's only us infront of the printers. It is little to no reason to build a base if the hand cannon is just going to delete it all with it's huuuuuge range.


sorry if grammar is garbage rn, i haven't slept anything

I see watchu mean but they gonna spam more orbs and earrape

Moved for you

The hand cannon is pretty op and I feel like weapons as the Spartan laser should be buffed

I'm suprised all the no's from so many without critique. I sense that people have stacked up on hand cannons this past event and are affraid of it losing value. Sucks that people can't think outside their inventory. I have about 5 hand cannons but that doesn't mean i like getting creative bases being deleted completely.

Keep in mind alot of other locations would be viable if the hand cannon got toned down a bit. I have plenty of dupes ready to test

You could think so but since hand cannon is the only weapon in the game that deletes bases the way it does. If it was toned down other locations would be viable including counters for orb raiders.

Also how on earth is a retro style cannon stronger than a futuristic thundergun? Not much rp intended there, huh.

I think this is very needed. I am currently working on a dupe that uses the most tankiest props (towers, big gates, cargo's) and I tested an HC on it (keep in mind that this is only a part of the base and has close to a total of 1,000,000 HP) and I destroyed the entire dupe with 2 HC clips.



Please nerf the handcannon.

EDIT: It's so funny how people are voting no because of the amount of HC bp's they gathered and are scared of loosing money.

i think they should keep the damage as it is because they are going to become more rare so then they would be worth it

Basing is literally impossible if someone comes up with a HC and just obliterates the entire dupe.

He salty because he cant afford handcannon

Leave the hand cannon alone i
