    1.8.3 - Pred is back?

    Ok, Massive took a risky step - "balancing" striker and nerfing that piece of sh&^% showstopper which in my opinion should be done time ago without touching the striker.
    So, lets imagine what cronus users and cheaters can do next? that is right - Pred+disruptor ...deadly and strong combination hard to counter.
    so, speculations?

    They have nerfed Showstopper ? I didn't know that. I use it with my 10,000 skill Firecrest, it's the only effective gun with such low firepower and if it's nerfed there's another bit of joy sucked out of the game.

    Unless you're exploiting the rapid fire glitch or pop shotting with it, then no, they are not "nerfing" the showstopper.

    Try an Urban MDR with Competent and Talented.
    1. It hits hard, especially if the targets are on fire and even more so if you've just used one of your skills.
    2. You have more range, which is useful with such low toughness / stamina. Also a long range weapon synergizes better with your long range flame turret.

    I also like an LMG as a secondary weapon, again for the long range and because it will suppress the NPCs, which is also what your flame turret does. So you can basically keep them in cover and have your team mates walk around and shoot them at point blank behind their cover.

    No, simply put. You till have immunization with medkit/skill combo. Immunizer will still protect you and cleanse. The only change is burst heal from med station.

    Close! Try Vicious + Deadly mixed with Booster Shot and Pulse (or Precision if your aim is on point) Can 1 shot bleed people with 51.5% CHC & 128.5% CHD Bleeds. I have been trying to get a few of my close friends to do this but they don't want to give up their instant heal boxes..... lol

    Why would he use Booster Shot and Pulse when he's running FireCrest? One skill is a Flame Turret, otherwise don't bother using FireCrest
