    The title reigns true, The NC are loosing their OP Scatter Maxes in Next weeks game update 6. Also shotguns are getting nerfed. WE CAN FINALLY ROLL NC BIO LABS LIKE WE DO TR BIOLABS WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

    NC Responce on the forums:
    60% = Enh use them while they're good fellas
    25% this won't be fair because our maxes won't be good in close quarters anymore, which is our faction's thing. Good CQC. Stop nerfing us and nerf the factions that deserve it. Like the no-recoil TR weapons and the no-drop VS weapons.
    15% this is BULLSHIT!!

    (Percents were formed by looking at multiple threads and multiple posts on said threads about NC responses. Generalized a bit with the percent amounts as there are alot of mixed feelings. Main point: Majority isn't against nerf because they know it is the most unstoppable force in cqc and nothing else has a chance. Then there are the typical trolls/qq-ers)

    Be advised, the shotgun balance is probably for ALL shotguns.
    I hope to find some new data to compare with the old data. I think they're going to nerf them a little, but I can't be sure.

    I hope ScatMAXes take a heavy hit. It was too much with that bullshit. And their faction is heavy hitting/armor, not CQC. They just think that because they have scat maxes

    It's a balance, we don't now for sure it's going to be a nerf or buff. It's likely to be a nerf, but we won't know for sure.

    I'm not sure you can balance the scat/hack max without doing something to the other maxes as well that would be fair to the NC. I don't like the current situation anymore than the next guy, but I wouldn't want to see the NC max made obsolete either. Currently, scat/hack maxes are CQC specialized units and in situations like a biolab fight, the only real hard counters to a coordinated group using them, is precise coordination of the team fighting them. The same can't be said of the VS or TR maxes and therein lies the imbalance. NC maxes use speed burst to close the gap between you and them while VS/TR maxes use it to get away into cover.

    I would think that reducing the effective range of scat/hack maxes as well as increasing reload time between shots would be a move in the right direction. Couple that with increasing the damage resistance to shotgun style weapons for all maxes, NC included, would also be a move in the right direction of balancing this situation out. The goal being to make VS and TR maxes more reliable in CQC vs NC maxes, not getting one or two shot by them as is the current situation.

    Guess we'll see when they announce the shotgun balancing as to what their idea is, but I wouldn't expect it to completely fix the situation until all maxes get re-balanced in a later update

    shot guns are getting a rate of fire reduction overall, Shotgun lethal damage distance will see a small nerf.

    Read this through one of the dev twitters, couldn't be arsed enough to sherlock holmes my way back to it though.
