I would love to see the community’s stance on this weapon and it’s recent buff. Valve certainly made it popular, one of the most controversial buffs in the recent update imo. Being able to survive a hs is insane tbh, would ETF2L ban this weapon?
1 word.
Overpowered.
If this stays allowed, every sniper has to use it. Vita-saw got banned because there is no alternative to using it as long as it’s allowed.

We’re currently discussing the new updates. Any urgent issues will be addressed this afternoon, any not so important issues will be resolved in the next few days.
Good call banning it.
From newspost;
Effective today, the Darwin Danger Shield is now banned. After yesterday’s changes to the weapon, the wearer with full health can survive a quickscope headshot or a fully charged bodyshot. We believe this will have a significant impact on the game, and as such, this unlock has been banned from the Nations Cup until further notice.
gg, was fun while lasted :(

implying that doesn’t happen anyway ;)
Darwin’s Danger shield
Added: Bullet damage taken reduced by 15%
The Croc-o-Style Kit (set)
Removed headshot immunity
I can’t grasp the thought process behind wanting to promote loadout variety just to then add the new danger shield.
It’s not as annoying as the croc-kit to snipe against but it also takes up less loadout slots to guarentee a limited headshot immunity.
Basically it has reached the point where if 2 equally skilled snipers battle each other it’s either take the shield or loose the exchange.
I could pretend to be really upset about this change but…I only fully charge bodyshot people with the machina anyways,so whatever.

If you read the news blogs or what ever and look at the other items/otem sets, they wanted to remove the set bonuses becauss some sets apearently had items that werent all visible so you couldn’t know if they were useing full sets, or something along thos lines, so they moved the set bonus/similar effect to specific weapon. Same is on all other sets pretty much, they moved set bonus effect to on 1 item, more or less.

Word! The +25 hitpoints buff would make more sense on the cozy camper imo. Or just have the bullet resistance on the pissrifle, and keep the dangershield as it was(since it had it’s uses before the update).
I think people are over racting freking out over this one. I think its fine item. I mean only thing it has like real proper effect is sniper vs sniper. And this is not sniper vs sniper mge get good mode, this is highlander, there are 8 other classes too. You don’t need to sniper to give up jarrate and go sniper dueling DDS sniper if enemy have on, you can focus it down with other classes, scout,spy, solly. Sure it might be pain in the ass for lower divs/teams if there are some “carry snipers” and people don’t know what to do, but I’m sure it’s all fine on higer divs at least, even if you could say sinpers woulbe better there too. Just gives sniper now two really considerable sceondarys insted of only jarrate.
