An incredibly broken weapon right now imo, i find that banning it mid-season is a legit thing, since the stats were changed so much. A scout with the max speed with it gains an incredible dm advantage over every single class, also getting the possibility to easily get flanks if at least one flank wasn’t watched for a second or two, and an incredible suiciding ability, with the 173% movement speed the scout can get to a meatshot distance to any well defended class (say medic) in a second, while dodging with the additional speed for the duration of two scattergun shots shouldn’t be a problem (really hard to hit him with any projectile or track with hitscan weapons), the weapon doesn’t contribute to the gamemode in any good way.
It’s literally the Beggars Bazooka of this season
Thank you

All the weapons they added in that update are annoying.

Don’t see a problem with the Hitman’s tho

THE FIRING SOUND IS SO ANNOYING

I’ve only used it for the firing sound

The hardest con of this weapon is that the high speed makes aiming quite difficult :D

This, its annoying when your fighting them and then their speed suddenly changes when they hit you.

Can you link me some example matches where you can see that the weapon is broken? I do feel that it’s more powerful since it’s buff, but not worth banning / banning mid season.

Regardless of that, if you supply me the evidence I will discuss it with my fellow HL admin.

not a match, but a sort of overview of the buff http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdK5zDAJnJY

Quite frankly, all of the scattergun unlocks are shit. Nothing beats the real thing.
