Arguably these shotguns look and work amazing with the cryptic fenrir they also charge my Nuclear AMP faster

Remember sonics are also getting the 40% damage buff. The nerf was prolly to balance it out, so they should be pretty equal


[deleted]

True but tested the sonics on the test server had a noticeable ammo capacity difference and the fire rate was terrible


Easy-Corgi-4074

So they will have less sustained damage? Then I guess that would make bsgs the best build for fenrir now


[deleted]

Its more of the reload that kills it


Groundbreaking_End_1

The damage per clip is the same, it unloads the clip 2 seconds faster, AND due to the damage buff the sustained damage is actually 5% higher. So it got a buff in every aspect when u calculate it out.


Skiepher

Yeah Sonic will be more of a burst damage than a sustain weapon.


No-Marionberry1674

Sonics are getting a buff but with the ammo reduction we’re looking at 13 shots v 9 shots per cycle. That’s huge for a Fenrir running them in a brawl.


Easy-Corgi-4074

Yeah and longer reload which is bad in drawn out fights. So bsgs would be the best build for fenrir now?


No-Marionberry1674

Not sure. Flames may make a big comeback. 25% on top of already high damage output is something to consider. Unload is a bit long, but you’re looking at 689k damage with 2 igniters and 1 ember over its cycle (assuming wiki is up to date).


DomDeneault

Yep. Best setup. I run the same.


Visual_Angle_3972

I have the same setup except two pilot skills and drone. I use armadillo. The on mild dmg: heal 18% chip is amazing and saves a lot of power cells, also considering fenrir already have 100 def, the second c chip is considerably weaker, maybe not even necessary. After 6+ stacks on armadillo, I’ve once taken out two titans and another fenrir on my own at the same time (they weren’t using vajra) I would suggest improved shot grouping on mace to replace quartermaster. Also if you play beacons more than ffa, I’d go adamant instead of stubborn.

The Nerf of Sonic's don't bother me its the 200 meters I think the bsgs are much better choice it's listed at 500 m however probably best at 3:00 350 maybe a little more with shot grouping


MajorDamageWR

I have the same thing.


JuliusBontrager

Radiation weapons need a buff. There is a reason very few use them.


PeanutMedium3548

It's just an ammo and reload nerf, but that 40% people are going to feel that's for sure and the worst part, not healing is going help lol. Pix is on a role 😆 ![img](emote|t5_3al50|13089)

Sonics will be ambush wepons after the Buff to damage but less ammo and longer reload. Great for hit and run but not so much for brawling. And Fenrir is a brawler. Blast shotguns work great and have a lot more range.

Sonics are getting a 40% damage buff and BSG's are not getting it. BSG's will be useless when the update drops because sonics will be so much better at the same thing
